[RELEASE] Private Messaging Hack (v0.9) !!!!!!!

Woo-freaking-hoo!

Here it is, the vB PM hack! NEWLY CHANGED TO VERSION 1.2.0 - please reference this thread now: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...?threadid=1772

It can be downloaded from here: http://www.enter.net/~rmsullivan/pmhack1.2.zip . The instructions are included within that.

Demo at: http://www.magic-singles.com/cpa/forums/ . If you MUST register to test it, ok, I guess. I'll be adding screenshots so you know what it's like soon.

Now UPDATED to version 0.9.15 !!!! Several bug fixes, additional support for linking to posts and nicer delete methods (thanks bira!)

Please note that the UBB import script has NOT been done yet - sorry. Soon though.

Enjoy! Post and questions/comments/bug reports here!

Is the latest private.php file in the ZIP? The date of the current version is 6/15 10:10am it tries to replace a file that says 6/15 12:xxam. I updated anyway and the delete bug is still there.

Heya Ed,

A couple more features I'd like to place on the wishlist:

1) Forward. "Forward this message to..."

2) a "read next" "read previous" links on the messages, like in the threads.

3) An arrow next to the "last message from..." which takes you directly to that last message.

Cheers,

Bira

BTW, 10:10 am is later than 12:xx am

Umm.. which bug were you referring to? The delete button fix in forumdisplay-type page was only changed in makeprivtables.php - look back for the code if you wanna see it, or just change the onSubmit of the <FORM> tag to "return verify();"

The other bug I know I fixed, because I tested it on my site.

Anyway, I just reupdated/uploaded the zip just in case.

"BTW, 10:10 am is later than 12:xx am"

Maybe I need some more sleep:

Realy great Hack it works fine, even in the version 1.1.3
Only one little Problem, there is no icon (lamp) befor
the message "read them!"

how can i change it (where is the path for the icon written)

Thx

You have to change the values in the code.

So other than that, has no one found any other bugs?

YAY! I'll start on the UBB import utility then.

Hey, I have been trying to get this hack working on http://www.scubaboard.com. However, the text to let you check your messages does not show up on any pages. I may have missed something but I thought I'd ask first...

Any tips for getting this text to show?

Add $pminfo (or whatever it says in the instructions) to your forumhome template.

Thanks a ton Ed/Mike, I seemed to have overlooked that step.

Please let me know if there's ever anything I can do to help you out in return for this great addon...

Just a thought... how about the option to dispatch an email to the user when a new private message is awaiting them ? Would sure help to draw people back a bit more often... and I could then remove the email display altogether...
