Private Messages Enhancements - Move Private Message Download Options

This is fairly straightforward, and something I've done because so many of my users overlooked that they could download their Private Messages. Basically, we're moving the option from the easily-overlooked bottom of the page to where the other relevant info is: the usage bar, and the other "All" option -- Delete. Now users can easily see that saving their messages is an option.

ACP > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > pm_messagelist

Find (Line 105 of a default template):

		<h3 class="blocksubhead">{vb:rawphrase x_contains_y_z_messages_of_xx, {vb:raw foldername} {vb:raw totalmessages} {vb:raw pmtotal}, {vb:raw pmquota}} (<a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=emptyfolder&amp;folderid={vb:raw folderid}">{vb:rawphrase empty_folder}</a>)</h3>

Replace With:

		<h3 class="blocksubhead">{vb:rawphrase x_contains_y_z_messages_of_xx, {vb:raw foldername} {vb:raw totalmessages} {vb:raw pmtotal}, {vb:raw pmquota}} 
		<br /><a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=emptyfolder&amp;folderid={vb:raw folderid}">{vb:rawphrase empty_folder}</a> or <strong>{vb:rawphrase download_all_private_messages_as}</strong>:  <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=xml">{vb:rawphrase xml}</a> | <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=csv">{vb:rawphrase csv}</a> | <a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=txt">{vb:rawphrase text}</a></h3>

To remove the original options, delete (found on lines 139-144 of the default template):

	<div>
		<strong>{vb:rawphrase download_all_private_messages_as}</strong>:<br />
		<a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=xml">{vb:rawphrase xml}</a> |
		<a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=csv">{vb:rawphrase csv}</a> |
		<a href="private.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=downloadpm&amp;dowhat=txt">{vb:rawphrase text}</a>
	</div>

Installed this on vB 4.1.4 a few weeks ago, and have received many positive comments on it. I went with the options at the top that grey_goose posted. Thanks!

Hmm wish I found this post last night..took me an hour to figure out which and where. haha

Anyhow, my client found another download option. She does not want members on her site to be able to download private messages. I have removed the code above but there is another option in a drop down. Does anyone know how to remove the download option from there??

Thanks

Not meaning to trample your thread..just seemed related..

Never mind...was very easy..I just could not see it because I had no messages..

Verry nice indeed thanks.
Could this be made that it is used by let say only moderators or admins? or other usergroup, would be nice if i could choose witch usergroup could use this function.
