Private Messages Enhancements - View Unread PMs

As an admin I get a ton of PMs; and I don't always get around to them when I should. Finding old PMs I haven't read can be a pain. So I coded up some quick changes to allow me to have a "Unread PMs" system folder that let me quickly view all my unread PMs.

Now, before you go looking for a plug-in, I'll tell you now you have to make code modifications to two files because vBulletin hard codes system folders. In adding a new system folder the only option I was able to come up with involved a few code changes.

From the dropdown folder selector is an "Unread PMs" option.

I also modified my USERCP_SHELL to include a link to the Unread PMs options.

            <if condition="$show['showunread']">            
            <tr>
                <td class="$navclass[pm_messagelist]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]folderid=-2">Unread PMs</a></td>
            </tr>
            </if>

Version 1.0 - April 7th, 2007

I've installed the mod and it does have an issue as Ian Montgomerie has stated. All of the unread PMs show as if you sent them to yourself. Can somebody paste an update on what needs to be changed.

I've tried installing Ian Montgomeries revised mod, but it doesn't work correctly with 3.6.4, as it doesn't display the PM's for some reason.

thanks in advance,

Installed. Im not too fussed about who it says sent it because it has made life much easier than searching through pages and pages of pm's for the unread ones.

Will this work for registered users as well? Thanks.

Yes it appears to work for other usergroups or at least it does on my forums.
