Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Read PMs

This will let you read your member's private messages.

Features:

- List PMs separated by sent/received given a username or id
- List all users with PMs
- Search PMs by "exact text", "all words" and "at least one of the words"
- List the latest 100 PMs sent

Installation:

Upload "read_pms.php" to your admincp folder and "cpnav_rpm.xml" to your includes/xml folder. Do not import the xml, upload it!!!

Usage:

On your admin control panel, under the "User" menu theres a link to the Read PMs mod. Only Super Administrators can use it.

Since nobody else is answering questions, I will.

It would be significantly more difficult to list who the PM is sent to on a message index such as what was mentioned a few posts ago, because that has to be retrieved and parsed differently than the sender does.

You can read any private message that currently exists -- that is, you cannot read deleted private messages.

No, reading private messages using this plugin does not mark the message as being read.

In order to install this plugin, you must upload the appropriate PHP script *and* import the XML file. If you have done both, a link should appear under the "Users" submenu, while using the Administrator's Control Panel.

Pushed the XML file up manually to the appropriate directory and this works like a charm. Thank you.

There was readpms in vboptions in previous versions, to be able to add which admins may read pms. This version doesn't have that, Can this be modded to do that?

Can't you just switch the ones you want to S-Admin?

blind-eddie: Read back a few pages. I already posted instructions on how to do that, earlier in this thread.

I suppose I could do that....1 more question, While I was looking through my admincp, I went into users/Private Message Statistics.
When I click on[List Users with 59 Messages] you see


what would I need to do to add readpms to this location?

Will this work on 3.6.4?

And how would you catch a member poaching other members to go to another forum unless you just started putting in one user at a time till you were done with the hundreds of users you have?
