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.

I don't see the Javascript code embedded in your footer, so your problem is one of two things, both of which are addressed in this post:

1. You haven't set permissions to all usergroups, so it's not showing me the code as a guest/unregistered user;
2. Your "footer" template doesn't have the footer_javascript template hook.

Check those over and let me know what you find. Worst case, I can log into your forums with a test admin account and work out the issue for you.

What if I don't allow guest/unregistered users to send PMs? Is that the reason this whole mod is not working?

No - guests can't be allowed to use PMs as far as I know, as there would be no way to track which PMs belonged to which guest. That's the purpose of having a user account.

The purpose of setting the permissions for the popup PM system to all users (including unregistered) is so I can verify the mod is inserting the Javascript code on your pages which causes the popup PMs. As explained in the readme file, even if you set popup PM permissions to all users, anybody who doesn't have permission to use regular private messaging will get a "No permission" error within the popup window.

The only thing you're enabling is the actual popping up of the popup window, as it were, when someone clicks on a PM link. Once you do this, I can see if the code is being placed in your footer like it should be.

I added several more usergroups but still no luck.

Then at this point the only other thing I can offer to do is manually look through the requisites in your Admin CP. I've registered on your forum as RobWoelich, if you can give me administrator permissions for vBulletin Options, Styles and Templates, and Plugins and Products that's all I'll need.

I found and fixed your issue. It was related to the {vb:raw template_hook.footer_javascript} template hook.
