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

Features:

- 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.

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.

You must have went through some work to do that
Good deal.

I've tried to get this to work but it's not, I used to have one that put a option in the user options area to read PMs but this doesn't seem to be it or even work like it supposed to.

[Silverstangs]

Is there a way that I can download all the PM's as a txt,csv or xml file? Or can you add that feature?

Hello, from reading the code (in my small) it don't seem, I don't see nothing, but is shure this don't modify or alter the SQL Table after the installation?
Thanks for who clarify

No this doesn't alter the database, just reads from it.

This mod is now "Re-usable Code", meaning anyone can modify it and re-release their own version. Update it and be merry.

Is this gonna work just fine on v3.6.8?
