Updated 12-19-2010 to add all features that were previously a part of the full version product. Now there is no full version, just this one with everything for free.

Popup Private Messaging is a useful (and neat!) modification for your vBulletin 4 forum. Instead of redirecting a user to a separate "Compose Message" page when they try to send a private message, a "popup" private message form is displayed without taking them away from the page they're viewing. It intelligently replaces every single PM link on your forum, CMS or blog without any template edits or plugins that mess with your templates. It's loaded with features and has been tested with IE 8, FireFox 3.6, Opera 10.10, Chrome 3.0, and Safari 4.0.4!

Formerly a Mod of the Month winner for vBulletin 3.x! The current version for vBulletin 3.8 can be found here.

Highlights:
  • Uses a DHTML "popup" which won't be blocked by popup blockers, as it is not a "real" popup window.
  • New! Automatically centers the popup on the page, regardless of window size or how far down the page a user is.
  • Auto-fills the PM form with the username of the person you wish to send a private message.
  • Supports multiple recipients (based on user permissions).
  • Standard form, or full WYSIWYG with advanced PM options.
  • Preview message within the window, without being redirected elsewhere.
  • Window can be closed by the user via an "X" in the upper corner.
  • Lightbox effect to dim the rest of the page
  • New! Window automatically closes after the message is sent.
  • Admin CP options allow you to customize window size and which usergroups can use the popup PM modification.
  • New! Intelligent Javascript file replaces every private message link with the popup links on the browser side, saving your server's resources and your templates!

Live Demo:

A live demo can be found on my website - no registration required to see the basic popup functionality, but if you want to try the actual form you'll need to register as guests/unregistered users can't use private messaging.

Support for this Modification:

No active support anymore - that's why I made the full version free. Too much going on right now.

Hope you enjoy!

I've taken a look at DjEddie's forum and found that his custom style's template didn't include the template hook which is new in vBulletin 4.0 that the modification uses. As such, I've added an entry into the FAQ in the first post of this thread explaining how to check the template affected to see if the template hook is present or not.

Yes, I'm working on it and should have it released within the next few days. It currently works on my test forums, short of a Javascript bug I'm working out.
