Show Newest PM If Unread On Forum Home

This is a port of: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=77250

Exact same functionality/style, will automatically make the template edit for you using the plugins system (a bit hackish but it worked )

Plugins Added: 3

I've added a delete button to mine.

In the forumhome_pmshow template, find (near the bottom):

<td class='tfoot' colspan='2'><b>Options:</b> <a href='private.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&do=showpm&pmid={$from['pmid']}'>Read This PM</a> | <a href='private.php?{$session['sessionurl']}'>Go To Your Inbox</a></td>

Replace with

<td class='tfoot' colspan='2'> <table><tr><td><a href='private.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&do=showpm&pmid={$from['pmid']}'>Read This PM</a> | <a href='private.php?{$session['sessionurl']}'>Go To Your Inbox</a> | <form action="private.php" method="post"><label for="deletepm"><input type="checkbox" name="pm[$from[pmid]]" id="deletepm" value="true" />Tick Here To Delete This Message</input> <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionurl]" /> <input type="hidden" name="do" value="managepm" /> <input type="hidden" name="dowhat" value="delete" /><input type="submit" class="button" value="And Click Here To Confirm" accesskey="s" /></form></td></tr></table></td>

You can change the deletion and button text as you wish.


Also, I've customised the "Show This PM" link to show only if the PM exceeds 400 characters (which is the plugin's default crop).
To do this:

1. Edit the plugin named "New PM On Forum Home (If Unread) [Main]"
Find:

$from['message'] = substr($from['message'],0,400) . "...";

Add under:

$show['pmcropped'] = true;

2. In template forumhome_pmshow,
Find

<a href='private.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&do=showpm&pmid={$from['pmid']}'>Read This PM</a> |

and stick <if condition="$show['pmcropped']"> in front and </if> afterwards, so it looks like this:

<if condition="$show['pmcropped']"><a href='private.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&do=showpm&pmid={$from['pmid']}'>Read This PM In Full</a> | </if>

Is it possible to include the pm senddate data on forumhome as well? Seems funny to miss it out when the PM arrived, everything else is included.

ok the fix for the admincp functions.php error is as follows

change the fetch_userinfo plugin to the following:

global $globaltemplates;

if (is_array($globaltemplates)) {
	$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('forumhome_pmshow'));	
}

I've never had a problem with it since.

Where is the "fetch_userinfo" plug?

edit: nevermind - I found it...
