Mini Mods - PM security certificate (edited mod)

You will find the original mod here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=136678

I loved the idea but I did not like the look and I had a few more issues with it. I thought the mod was useless unless it also had a warning for unverified PM's.

I edited the mod to include a warning for unverified PM's and I made it fit in better with the PM box. I also changed the pictures.

Installation:

In either POSTBIT and/or POSTBIT_LEGACY, paste the following code at the top. If you do not know the difference edit both.

(NOTE: Make sure your moderators have their primary usergroup set to moderator not secondary otherwise both the verified and unverified warning will show up")

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, INSERT YOUR MOD USEGROUP ID's)">
<table table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/verified.gif" width="44" height="39" alt="Verified!" /></td>
<td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#339900">V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">This message was sent by an official <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong> staff member. It's contents can be trusted.</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, INSERT UNVERIFIED USERGROUP ID'S">
<table table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/unverified.gif" width="44" height="39" alt="Verified!" /></td>
<td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#0f4390">U N V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">This message is from someone other than a staff Member. If it contains spam please report it to the forum <a href="INSERT YOUR FORUM URL/private.php?do=newpm&u=1">admin</a>.</font></font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
</if>

To edit the usergroups on the 'verified' in the first line of code find:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, INSERT YOUR MOD USEGROUP ID's)">

And replace with appropriate usegroup ID's.

(Your usergroup ID numbers can be found in your usergroup section in the admincp. You will see each usergroup has an ID number assigned to it)

Here you will want to place the administrator user group ID and all moderator groups ID's. By default it is 5,6,7 and should look like this:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, 5, 6, 7)">

If you need to add more separate with a ,


To add usergroups to the unsafe list find this line of code (about 14 lines down):

&& is_member_of($post, INSERT UNVERIFIED USERGROUP ID'S">

and add in the desired user group numbers. By default it should only be group "2" (registered members)

It should look something like this:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, 2)">

I'll try this later, for the sake of it. Couldn't you use <else> or something though?

[Nickbe]

somebody tried to use <else> and it did not work

[KingPin6]

since there are generally only two kinds of groups, trusted and non trusted I added an else statement and it works fine for me, thought I'd share it :

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private'">
<if condition="is_member_of($post, groups,that,are,trsuted)">
<table table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/verified.gif" width="44" height="39" alt="Verified!" /></td>
<td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#339900">V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">This message was sent by an official <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong> staff member. It's contents can be trusted.</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<else />
<table table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/unverified.gif" width="44" height="39" alt="UnVerified!" /></td>
<td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#0f4390">U N V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">This message is from someone other than a staff Member. If it contains spam please report it to the forum <a href="/private.php?do=newpm&u=1">admin</a>.</font></font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
</if>

so all groups in the trusted line (line #2) get passed thru and all others get the suspect image also fixed the alt tag since both contained word verified.

I fixed my problem - I was having both verified/unverified showing up with certain staff because they are in more than one usergroup.

Love the mod tho..
