A brother 'preciate ya dawg~~

I always had the issue of having to click band and re-send the PM due to 'no PM specified'. Uninstalling this one, to give this one a go.

Need the smilies too .. TY

I was really hoping that this'd work, but I've run into a pretty sturdy brick wall.

For some reason, the message box doesn't display AT ALL for me. With the first version it just makes a little box for itself above the reciept/copy options. With the second version, I can get the recipient, title and post icons to show up but the message box is missing.

Any help would be appreciated. I tried doing this myself back in 3.0, but I didn't have any luck.

Hi...any chance of this for 3.6.0 please?

[bcmedia]

Yep. I'll release something soon for 3.6.0.

Those of you who cannot get this to work, please make sure your forum is using 3.5.3. any versions older than this probably will not work. i noticed a lot of the people saying it didnt work are using older versions.

[bashy]

Thanks alot...will look forward to it

Firstly, this works for 3.6.

Secondly, to add smilies to it:

Edit the plugin, find:

$editorid = construct_edit_toolbar($pm['message'], 0, 'privatemessage',0, 1, 0);

Change to:

$editorid = construct_edit_toolbar($pm['message'], 0, 'privatemessage',1, 1, 0);

Basically change the 0,1,0 at the end to 1,1,0. Done!

I beg to differ. When I had this plugin enabled, members complained about the hack sending blank PM's. It's random, but it happens.

Hmm. How strange.

Mine seems to work ok.

However, the blank PM thing is what happens if you try to use it with the WYSIWIG...that's an issue that was present in 3.5 for me.

I had to wrap it into a conditional in the showpm template so it didn't show to WYSIWIG users, as it happens in the last hour I tried again to work out why this is a problem but I can't.

It doesn't populate the quote and it ignores any text you type in, if you have the WYSIWIG enabled.

I am sure there is a simple fix for this but I am unable to sort it myself.

But it definitely works for normal editor users in 3.6, from memory I didn't make any changes to it.
