Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Read PMs

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

Features:

- List PMs separated by sent/received given a username or id
- 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.

And no members dont know unless you tell them

By the way what the heck is the difference between a super admin and a normal admin?

I wonder if theres a way to tell Vbulletin to send a carbon copy of every email that gets sent through Vbulletin to a specific email address. That would probably work ok.

A normal admin can't control other admins powers and such and a few more tweaks to it
Its just like a add-on of some permissions/powers
Not like a big jump from smod to admin

You could maybe request that in the request forum and see what people say
Or make sure it gets done by making a $ Service Request

Ok, Sounds good. I will end this off topic discussion here.

Back to the Read PM's hack we go.

dcpaq2, if you want to save the outgoing emails, you can go to:
AdminCP>vBulletin Options>Error Handling & Logging>Log Emails to a File
and enter the path to the file you want

There is a hack here that if a member sends an email via your site, you can set it up to get copy of it in your email.

Superadmin is the user defined in your config.php as the person able to admin the whole site including other admin.
If you want (as I do) all admin users to be able to read PMs, edit read_pms.php and replace

PHP Code:

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.");
} 


with

PHP Code:

if(!$vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == $vbulletin->options['adminid'])
{
    rpm_print_stop_back("You don't have permission to access this page.");
}

Thank you everyone for answering my questions. I appreciate it greatly.
