Original PM GAUGE hack by
Goblin posted by Bald Bouncer


PM Gauge in PM pages
Index page can be made in a similar fashion if you wish.
However, I don't recommend you place it on the index page.
This is valuable space and could be used for something else.

This version will take into account all folders, minus tracking which doesn't have nothing to do with pmquota.
Uses template system (add a new template).
If no messages than no (table) gauge will appear.
If no pmquota than no (table) gauge will appear.

Hi,

if you have an user on your ignore list, and get a PM from him, you can't see the PM of him but the Gauge Hack counts it to the number of total PMs.

On the start page (index.php) you don't see this PM, because the the ignored users are excluded.

To fix this you should replace (in private.php):

PHP Code:

  $msgcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]"); 


with

PHP Code:

  $ignoreusers="";
  if (trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist'])!="") {
    $ignoreusers='AND fromuserid<>'.implode(' AND fromuserid<>',explode(' ', trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist'])));
  }
  $msgcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] $ignoreusers"); 


You also will never get a 'red' image until you change this:

PHP Code:

  if ($pmpercent>50) {
  $barimg="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/yellow.gif";
  } elseif ($pmpercent>75) {
  $barimg="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/red.gif";
  } else {
  $barimg="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/green.gif";
  } 


to this:

PHP Code:

  if ($pmpercent>75) {
  $barimg="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/red.gif";
  } elseif ($pmpercent>50) {
  $barimg="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/yellow.gif";
  } else {
  $barimg="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/green.gif";
  }

Nice hack! Thanks for it

Would be nice if we could get it to say Sent Folder 10% full rather than saying Inbox 10% full when the Inbox is actually cleared and the messages are in the sent folder though is that possible?

Cheers!
