Flag PM's

This hack came about as i was goint through my PM's at vborg. Recently i have been recieving a large number of PM's and some of them had important instructions from other members requesting HELP ......

BUT .... do you think i could find the right PM that contained the info that i wanted ..... NO

So i sat down again and did something about it

BUG: the query is [sql]ALTER TABLE `pmtext` ADD `pmflag` TINYINT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;
[/sql]but the php is:

PHP Code:

        $DB_site->query("
            UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pm 
            SET pmflag = 1
              WHERE pmid = $pmid
        "); 


... wrong table (PM or PMTEXT) ...
EDIT:
also: first

open pm_messagelist template

have to be

open pm_messagelistbit template

[trafix]

Damn ... yes its gotta go in "pm" i thought the query was right

Thnx for picking up on that one nexialys ... ill fix the zip

[trafix]

If you have already run the query as per the original instructions you will have to run these 2 to fix my stuffup.

This will remove the wrong field
[SQL]
ALTER TABLE `pmtext` DROP `pmflag` ;
[/SQL]
[SQL]
ALTER TABLE `pm` ADD `pmflag` TINYINT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;
[/SQL]

Can you make it so you can't delete flag messages unless you unflag them, this to prevent accidents?
