How to install
Upload files to your server
Import product xml
Go to ACP
Select required settings in ?Vbulletin options → Private Message Log?
Set access ?Can view PM logs? to necessary members in ?Usergroups → Administator Permissions?. Super administrators can be skipped.
Notes:
This mod uses full scan for text searches, that can affect SQL-server load at really big boards. Fulltext indexes are not used intentionally, because whose can't produce sharp results and not compatible with innodb. I suppose, that if you really need this mod, you know exactly, what are you doing and what are you going to search. In my practice, ONLY exact matches were useful.
One of tradeoff to reduce SQL-server load ? make log size shorter (1-2 months instead of 6). When vB 4.0 provides refactored search framework, search method can be rewritten.
If you install this mod on your server, i recommend to clarify forum rules, and add text, that your project doesn't provide the ways of confidential communication ? only public and non public.
PS. This mod is independent. Since could't find one, that satisfy my requirements to functionality and usability, the new one was done from scratch. Code is reuseable. If you can do things better - i'll be glad to install your branch and spend my efforts to another things
2.2
- Redesigned database to improve search/paging in some cases
- Should fix conflicts with other mods, that where reported in this threads
- Sources repo is now @ github
... (not public)
1.9
- Ups... another broken link (from message list to user profiles)
- Fixed access for non superadmins, who had "Read PM Log" privilegies.
1.8
- fixed broken link in ACP popup menu
- workaround to show smiles and bbcodes
I have plans to make filter "search for last XX days", because most actual searches are for last 30-60 days. That will speed up requests.
But have now more urgent products in tail. So, next major release will be only after 1-2 months. At least, current version works and is much better than nothing
The $pm['message'] information has already been obtained from the SQL query used to get the list of logged PMs, so the only overhead is the additional HTML code to add the contents of the PM to each log entry displayed in the AdminCP.
This saves having to open the PM in a new window if you are just having a quick check to see what the logged PM says. BBCode and Images are not rendered, you have to click on the link to read the logged PM with all the BBCode formatting, etc.
I had to uninstall this mod because I got this error whenever I tried to open any threads at all:
Code:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_administer_pm_log() in /*****/*****/*****/*****/forums/includes/class_postbit.php(294) : eval()'d code on line 284
Any idea what's wrong and how to fix this problem? I have 3.8 vbulletin.
