Private Messages Enhancements - PM Block by BOP5 (Private Message Block Lists per User)

Updated to Version 1.1 - NO FILE EDITS REQUIRED!!

This mod allows your users to setup their own personal private message block lists. No one on their lists will be allowed to PM them. (You can optionally specify immune usergroups such as admins and mods that can't be blocked.)

You can also optionally enable 2-way blocking so if one user adds someone to their block list they can not PM that user either. (Recommended)

This mod requires you to create 1 multi-line user profile field via your Admin CP. Detailed instructions for doing so are included in the installation instructions in the .zip.

LIMITATIONS OF THIS MOD:

• If a user changes usernames the block list will need to be updated with the new username.

Notes:

• When adding a username to the block list capitalization of the letters do not count but all other punctuation such as spaces DO count.

This mod adds 2 phrases in Error Messages:

• pm_blocked - This is the error shown when a user has been put on the recipients block list.
• pm_denied - This is the error shown when 2-way blocking is enabled and a user tries to PM a recipient on their own block list.

Current Version: 1.1 - Minor bugfix
1.0 - No file edits required!
0.9 - Stable Beta / Initial Release

This has been tested on 3.8.7, 4.0.8, and 4.1.2 and is expected to work on all 3.7/8, 4.0/1 versions.

If you don't see the options then uninstall it and try again. If it still doesn't work you have a bigger problem with your forum then this mod- try installing another mod and see if you can find its options.

I've been using this on my 3.8.7 for a couple of years now. My members really like it and it works without flaw.

Many modifications will not work with 'Tapatalk', it depends on where the API intersects the code. This is where vb5 will shine in the long run.

You would need to ask tapatalk to implement the hooks used by this modification.

Yes Most add-ons are incompatible with tapatalk.

FYI,

I was able to enable this in the latest version of Tapatalk for VB 3.x be editing the /functions/get_pm_stat.php Tapatalk file.


Right before the code:

    $pmdm->pre_save();

Around line 736

I added the line

    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('private_insertpm_process')) ? eval($hook) : false;

So the code around it looks like:

    $pmdm->set('fromuserid', $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
    $pmdm->set('fromusername', $vbulletin->userinfo['username']);
    $pmdm->setr('title', $pm['title']);
    $pmdm->set_recipients($pm['recipients'], $permissions, 'cc');
    $pmdm->set_recipients($pm['bccrecipients'], $permissions, 'bcc');
    $pmdm->setr('message', $pm['message']);
    $pmdm->setr('iconid', $pm['iconid']);
    $pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
    $pmdm->setr('showsignature', $pm['signature']);
    $pmdm->set('allowsmilie', $pm['disablesmilies'] ? 0 : 1);
    if (!$pm['forward'])
    {
        $pmdm->set_info('parentpmid', $pm['pmid']);
    }
    $pmdm->set_info('replypmid', $pm['pmid']);
    
    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('private_insertpm_process')) ? eval($hook) : false;

    $pmdm->pre_save();

Seems to work so far in my limited testing.
