Installed on vb3.7.3 and no problems so far!

Is there a way we can add the vb editor to the interface of sending out the PMs to users?

Also, if you put the full url in the PM message body it will not be a clickable link when user receives it in the PM. However it seems to be a link in the email that is sent to the user. Can this be fixed so that urls that we type are converted to clickable links when they view the PM on the web?

I really need that!

Just use the BBCode
[url=http://www.url.com]www.url.com[/url].

Yea I get how to use a BB code but this is called ugly code. I want to make a link just like in th reply here such as click here: Nice Non Ugly Link

The PM interface is nice for filtering who you want to receive messages but this mod just lacks in the editor department. So my request to bring this hack to the next level is to pull in an editor please.

I have added a direct link to this in my admin only quick moderation block to save time reaching this function. On my board I use the PM User System often to reach out to our thousands and growing members.

So any chance you can add in an editor that is standard in VB already? Just doing it all code way to style the PMs is a severe waste of time. I have been opening my normal PM editor in VB typing a styled message then switching to code view, copying into your hacks message window. This looks great in the receivers PM but in the emails sent to them some of the code shows though.

Lets all chant together...

ADD AN EDITOR
ADD AN EDITOR!
PLEASE!!!

You can start a new website then called: www.PimpMyPMBaby.com

DOH! :up:

Hey Yotsume, just use the editor at any part of the forum and copy-paste the code!

[yotsume]

I did but the urls dont work nice that way in emails. The BB code that was posted is by far the best! But really this needs a editor just like in normal PMs.

[thebassman]

If it's a long PM, you could always just compose it, but not actually post it, on your forums, then copy and paste into the AdminCP.

You can still do that with BBCode:

Some PM message would go here that means something to other people. Just random text here from now on. Biu With a read editor it takes me two seconds to center, bold, font size etc. BB code for style sucks and this mod is missing one thing in its interface.... AN EDITOR!

How ya going to do even these simple style modifications with no editor intergrated with this mod. SUPER WASTE OF TIME TO JUST USE CODE!

I can make PMs that have style. With your mod here there is no nice way to style the PMs. So once again ill try and make ya understand I know how to use BB code. Its still the ugly way to do things. Someone take this mod to the next level and add in the editor that is already in place for PMs in the first place.

MY SUGGESTION REMAINS UNCHANGED!
Anyway having an editor integrated with this mod remains my suggestion for the people who just aren't following along. Right now there is no editor interface so you have to do everything the longer way to style your PMs here.

You know, you could have just said you wanted an Advanced Editor in the first place.
