Improved PM Folderview

TESTED ON 2.3.0 AND FOUND WORKING

What does it do?

You know it happens to me pretty often that my users wonder why they cannot receive any more pm's. the standard question "did you check your sent items folder?" is answered with the standard question "do i have a sent items folder?"...

to avoid that, this hack shows the user on the privatemessage mainpage which folders they have in a list with the ability to add a folder without having to switch to the folders template.

aditionally, i modified the pmgauge enhanced hack by WWW.TOTAL-IMPACT.COM aka princeton a little and included it.

so, its nothing special, but maybe some people like it.
note: im new to this, so the code might be very ugly...

instructions:

1) follow instructions.txt

Credits: The_Sisko, mystics and boofo for finding bugs and helping with the code

Please notice this add-on by matt that allows you to have the amount of messages in each folder displayed next to it. Working on 2.2.9 too.

NOTICE: If you installed the private messages backup hack by Cano2 which is found here, you will have to to change a bit in the instructions.txt:

where it says to find:

PHP Code:

  //get correct folder name
  if ($folderid=="0") { 


you will need to find the SECOND instance as the private message backup hack adds another instance of this code to the file.

NOTICE2: if you installed the PM Quota by Usergroup Hack by g-force2k2 that can be found here then the solution to make both work together is here

please click install if you use it, thank you

Nice hack. I didn't read the entire thread to see if someone else suggested it, but to make it match my styles I changed the 3 table headers (Folder, Add Folder, PM Quota) from "<normalfont>" to "<smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}">" in both templates....

glad you like it. yes in this version there is some template work required. i will fix this if there is a version for vb3.

you need to install the add-on by matt.
you will find it in the beta-hacks forum, and the direct link should be in the first post of this thread here.

I'm having a problem the PM Quota part won't work. where the image should be nothing is there and it says You are using % of your quota. when it should say the percent.

[kreftt]

does it happen in both inbox and sent items folder view or just in one?
most likely you have made a mistake in editing the private.php and private2.php. doublecheck these files, and if it doesnt work, please send them over to kreftt@uni.de

I'll send them to you now....

hmm, your php files look just fine. does it happen in both inbox and sent items folder view or just in one? could you tell me the url to where you are trying to install it so that i can take a look at the templates?
