Private Message Workbench: Read, Search, Delete, Report and more

PM Workbench v1.00 Beta 5

================================================== ============================
Hack: PM Workbench
Version: 1.00 Beta 5
Author: MarcoH64
vB Version: vBulletin 3.5.0. RC2
================================================== ============================


Important Notice:
Depending on the modules installed, a privacy statement might be added to your board.
This Privacy Statement can not be removed or hidden by any means. Failure to comply would be against the TOS
of this hack, and you would not be allowed to use it.

If your board already has a Privacy Notice covering reading Private Messages by Administrators, you can PM me a link to that statement on your board (provide test login if needed) and your email address, and i will mail a Plugin to remove the Privacy link.


What is this hack?
PM Workbench offers you a variety of tools for working with or extending the standard vBulletin Private Message System.
It is a Modular System that will allow you to add those functions that you need for your board. New Modules might be added later.
The system is fully phrased and options can be set in vBulletin Options.
Permissions to use Modules are given using the includes/config.php for increased security.
Currently no file or template edits are needed.

More modules might be added later. For some i am waiting for new hooks to be implemented in RC3.

Currently Supported Modules:

PM Workbench - Report PM

This Module adds a Report PM icon to the postbit when users are reading a PM. The reports and send to the PM Folder of the
userid defined to receive them. Administrators who are given access can read the reports, the original PM, and add notes to them.

Features:
- Access to the PM Reports is controlled in your config.php for added security
- Add report button to PM's, no template edit needed.
- Usersw can give a reason for the report.
- Reported PM's can be seen without modifications to them (PM's are not forwarded, but just added to the inbox of the report userid).
- PM's are fully parsed
- Notes can be added to reports.


PM Workbench - Read/Search Private Messages

This Module let administrators who are given permission, search and read PM's

Features:
- Access to the PM's is controlled in your config.php for added security
- PM's can be searched for:
- Keyword (title and/or body)
- Username (sender/receiver/both, optional exact match)
- Send date after
- Send date before
- With a simple click read the PM and see who still have it in their folders.


PM Workbench - Performance Pack

Add extra indexes to the pmtext table for faster searching.


Known limitations:
The 'Report PM' module might not work on some heavily modified Styles. I will be (hopefully) posting another (beta) hack for that tomorrow.

With bugs yes..

just installed on a forum.
With the postbit_legacy template, I have used the following code for the template:

replaced

report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]

with

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private'">mh_pmwbrp_report.php?$session[sessionurl]do=reportpm&amp;pmid=$post[pmid]<else />report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]</if>

The same would probably be needed if you were coding for the normal postbit template.

The PM Workbench to field shows "array" when looking at pm's. So I have taken the code from vbulletin's private.php file and added to the specific file as per below:

admincp/mh_pmwbrd.php

replace

        while ($pm = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($pms))
        {

            $pmrow = array(
                    "<a href=\"mh_pmwbrd.php?do=readpmtext&amp;pmtextid=$pm[pmtextid]\">$pm[title]</a>"
                ,    $pm['fromusername']
                ,    (is_array(unserialize($pm['touserarray'])) ? implode(", ", array_values(unserialize($pm['touserarray']))) : null)
                , vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'] . ', ' . $vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $pm['dateline'])
                ,    "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"action[" . $pm['pmtextid'] . "]\">"
                );
            print_cells_row($pmrow);
        }

with

        while ($pm = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($pms))
        {


            $cclist = array();
            $bcclist = array();
            $touser = unserialize($pm['touserarray']);
            foreach($touser AS $key => $item)
            {
                if (is_array($item))
                {
                    foreach($item AS $subkey => $subitem)
                    {
                        ${$key.'list'}[]=$subitem;
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    $bcclist[]=$item;
                }
            }

            $pmrow = array(
                    "<a href=\"mh_pmwbrd.php?do=readpmtext&amp;pmtextid=$pm[pmtextid]\">$pm[title]</a>"
                ,    $pm['fromusername']
                ,    implode(", ",$bcclist).implode(", ",$cclist)
                , vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'] . ', ' . $vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $pm['dateline'])
                ,    "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"action[" . $pm['pmtextid'] . "]\">"
                );
            print_cells_row($pmrow);
        }
