Like Shazz said, you can either SuperAdmin them or modify read_pms.php. I too wanted to allow some of my other admins to use this mod, but did not want to SuperAdmin them.

You can easily achieve this by modifying:

PHP Code:

// ########################## SUPERADMIN CHECK ############################
if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)) ) {
 rpm_print_stop_back("You don't have permission to access this page.");
} 


to look something like:

PHP Code:

// ########################## SUPERADMIN CHECK ############################
if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['pmadministration'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)) ) {
 rpm_print_stop_back("You don't have permission to access this page.");
} 


NOTE: The only change was "config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators']" to "config['SpecialUsers']['pmadministration']" in read_pms.php.

After you make that change, add the following to includes/config.php:

PHP Code:

$config['SpecialUsers']['pmadministration'] = '3,5,36'; 


Replacing the 3,5,36 with the userid's you want to grant access to.

Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

It's telling me I've got an invalid file via both file upload and FTP upload. What do I do about that?

Can you upload other files? If not, this must be a problem with your server.

great hack !!!

I read through the thread but didnt find anything... so here is my question:

is there an easy way of hiding the Read PMs link in ACP for admins that are not allowed to use it??
(because I have questions and PMs (lol) : why am I not allowed.. I thought I was admin... etc..)

Thx for a reply..
