HACK UPDATED NOV 27TH 2001 - WORKS WITH ALL 2.X.X VERSIONS!

Since I was asked to make this available, here's my hack for downloading Private Messages (as many as you select) at once into a local txt file.

This is helpful if you need to clear out your PM folder(s) due to quota limitation, but don't want to lose those messages.

In effect, it works like an e-mail RFC archive.

Installation Instructions:

1. Open private.php.

Find:

Code:
  if ($delete!="") {
    $what="delete";
  }
Immediately AFTER it put:

PHP Code:
  if ($download!="") {
    
$what="download";
  } 
Find:

Code:
}

// ############################### start delete ###############################
Immediately ABOVE it (make sure you put it ABOVE the } ) put:

PHP Code:
if ($what=="download") {
    if (
is_array($privatemessage)) {
        
header("Content-disposition: filename=messages.txt");
        
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
        
header("Pragma: no-cache");
        
header("Expires: 0");

          while(list(
$key,$val)=each($privatemessage)) {
            
$downloads=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT touserid,fromuserid,dateline,title,message FROM privatemessage WHERE privatemessageid='$key' AND userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
            
$tousername=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid='$downloads[touserid]'");
            
$fromusername=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid='$downloads[fromuserid]'");
            
$msgdt vbdate($dateformat,$downloads[dateline]);
            
$msgtm vbdate($timeformat,$downloads[dateline]);
            
$wordwrap wordwrap($downloads[message],75,"\r\n");
            
            print(
"Date/Time Sent: $msgdt$msgtm\r\n");
            print(
"From: $fromusername[username]\r\n");
            print(
"To: $tousername[username]\r\n");
            print(
"Subject: $downloads[title]\r\n\r\n");
            print(
"$wordwrap\r\n");
            print(
"==========================================================================\r\n\r\n\r\n");


        } 
//end while
    
    
} else {
      eval(
"standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmnoselected")."\");");
      exit;
   }

Note for Foreign Users: replace the words 'Date/Time Sent', 'From', 'To', 'Subject' in the above code with whatever wording in your language that suits you.

Save file and upload.

2. Edit template privfolder.

Find:

Code:
$massforwardlink
Immediately after OR before it (it does not matter), put:

Code:
or <input type="submit" class="bginput2" name="download" value="Download" style="background-color:#606096;color:#FFF788;font-size:10px;font-weight:bold">
Note for Foreign Users: replace the word "or" and the value "Download" with whatever wording in your language that suits you.


That's it!

Usage: select one or more messages in one of your Private Messages folder and click on "Download". You will be prompted to save messages.txt on your hard drive (a Windows filename & folder selection dialogue will pop up).

Cheers,

Bira

Thx pal, it is a very nice hack!

I have a suggestion: Wouldnt it be nice if you modified it so that it can used for normal forum messages as well? So members would be able to download/save a thread to their computer easily.. Just a thought..

Regards,
Logician

Me too. The fix is pretty simple. Your browser probably knows how to handle the octet-stream type. Simply change it to make it ask you.

Change "octet-stream" to just "stream" and see what happens

I tried this Hack in Mac OS X 10.1.3 with IE 5.1.3 and it doesn't work for me. If i click in the user cp on the link 'Private Messaging' I get just a Parse error on line 715 in private.php. Can somebody tell me, if this hack works only with windows, or is Mac OS X also supported?

Doesn't work with 2.2.4
Parse error on the starting line on
PHP Code:
if?($download!="")?{
????
$what="download";
??} 
Is this hack still being worked on, or any advice how I could make it work with 2.2.4? Thanks.

Works fine with 2.2.4, double check that you placed the code hack in the right place in your private.php

Uh, what? How can they see your PMs if you're downloading them to your hard drive?
