CYB Can I please get help with my previous post. Many of my new mebers are lofgiing in before they are accepted by the admin and getting permission warnings and getting confused because they can see the PM stats line before their account is approved.

I need that line not visible to them until their account is truly active because the admin accepts their account.

I can use even a simple method to hide the line from them untill they are in the Registered members group.

PLEASE HELP!

THANKS!

Mr. CYB I have a question:

I need to prevent a user from seeing the PM Stats line if they login and I have not yet accepted their account.

What in the Navbar can I code to only have select members groups be able to see the PM stats line. I attached a screen shot of what I need to hide.

I have been trying to add a statement to my navbar like this but have not been able to work it out:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 2, 5)">

Can you please help me. I need only full registered members able to see this line.

Right now there is a limbo in-between gap for a user who has confirmed their email address and registered and has not yet been approved by an Admin.

So when a user in this limbo logs in they are able to see the PM drop menu and click and get into the UserCP. If they click links they get warning messages that they didn't need to see and it makes the site look to them as if there is a error and problem.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: SUGGESTION:
You know what would be awesome. If a none account approved members logs in instead of seeing the PM Stats line they see a blinking line saying "Account Approval Pending". Flashing in RED would rock! Oh please how can we add this to your mod?

I attached a second screen shot of my suggestion. Can you help me do this with your mod please.

Mr. CYB this line of text would make it so clear to awaiting members that they still need to wait. As it is now it can be misleading for new members especially mine who are mainly not so great at the "Engrish" language.

PROBLEM SOLVED USING VBADVANCED!

1. Set both COPPA and User Awaiting Email Confirmation usergroups Private Messaging capacity to 0 zero to diable the PM stats line. This was allowing not activated users to get into the UserCP before they are members of the site!
2. In vBa make a new BB code module and place an Account pending notice that can only be viewed by these two usergroups. This way when these people log in they get a nice notice that their account is pending. This avoids useless emails to the admin asking why they have all these error messages and no permission warnings.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

I've been running this for about a month now using 3.8.3. Overall this works, but multiple users have reported that PM's are not being saved despite clicking to do so before the PM is sent. I will continue to monitor this, but just wanted to post this as a FYI to anyone considering using this on 3.8.

Anyone having any issues with the Select / deselect all in this group tick boxes in private messaging?

Ticking the box to select all the messages in that particular section is not working and we are mystified as to why.

Thanks!

update to vb4 please?

Installed ... thank you Cyb ... :up:

Question for anyone ....

When I receive a message from multiple senders, I don't see the "Reply to All" option at the end of the sender list, even though it's enabled in the AdminCP settings.

Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks ...

Badger

replace with

 if (true)

Not sure why that check is made or why it's needed. The "recipients" list is only displayed if there are more than one recipients anyway. Maybe it's my 3.6.x version or some other template problems I was having.

Thank you Ransack .... :up:

That also fixed the problem on my v3.67pl1 site ...

Appreciate you posting that patch ...

BTW, I had to switch back from this 3.7 mod to his older 3.6 one as the upgrade caused me to lose the drop down and color functionality with the switch. When I went back to the older 3.6 one, everything worked fine including your replly all patch.

Is there anyway we can add an "Auto-Forward" setting. This way I can set it so that my main admin account has its PM's auto-forwarded to my other account. Also I would love to set up a "bugs" account where users can PM issues they have with the site but they are automatically forwarded to the appropriate admin.

Of course, this setting would be per user and only allowed to be edited by Admin.
