[RELEASE] Private Messaging 1.2.5

Not much of a release, but should be 1.1.4 compliant.

Please discuss here: http://www.vbulletin.org/hacks/hacks...=gethack&id=36

What about PHP4? Would it work too?

php4 has the simple .php extensions. php3 relates to .php3 extensions. IE there is no .php4, but rather .php. i am assuming that .php will serve as PHP's predominant extension through versions PHP5 and up until the language becomes extinct.

How do I get the private message menu bar to appear when people first go to the forums? I have it working correctly, I just want that bar there to promote it more.

in my index.php, the lines:

$lastuserlink = "<a href=\"private.php?action=show&msgid=$lastsent[msgid]&password=$bbpassword\">$lastuser</a>";
} else {
$lastuserlink = "<i>No one</i>";
}
eval("\$pminfo .= \"".gettemplate("pmloggedin")."\";");
} else {
eval("\$pminfo .= \"".gettemplate("pmloggedout")."\";");
}

are all there.. so I'm not sure why it's not getting those templates (and those templates are there) and not working.

You didn't add the link to forumhome like instructed.

Ed, I have the previous version (1.2?) running on 1.1.4 without any problems. Should I upgrade then? Are there any new features that were added specifically to this release? I had a look at the upgrade text file and could not see anything new. Am I missing something?

Ed?

No, don't bother. The only difference is the instructions.

OK, thanks

By the way, a couple of small things I thought you might want to know about:

1) Upon sending a Private Message, the script checks to see if the title (among others) is empty. If it is, it tells the user he left one of the fields empty. However, if a user puts, for example, one SPACE in the title - that message goes through. However, your script then trims these spaces, and the message is delivered without a title, and hence without a link to click on.

Granted, this only happened rarely on my BB, but for the 3-4 times that people complained, I made a small change whereby I added a function that adds (no subject) to such PMs.

2) Your templates were missing the <input type="hidden" name="replyto"> field, and therefore messages that were replied to did not get a new icon. Took me a long while to figure that one out!

By the way, I must commend you: this has been one of the most significant additions to our BB since its inception several years ago.

Cheers,

Bira

Thanks for the heads up bira. Would you mind posting your fix and which templates need this?
Thx.

Do you think you'll include on a next release the popup notifiy window with sound alert that was included on UBB? You know... whenever there's a new PM, a popup comes up playing a sound and telling you something like "you have a new PM, check it now!".

puts that above in the messages, it doesnt parse them?

Thanks

Everything else seems to work so far.

Or do you have to choose between the two?
Thanks
