Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Private Messages & Email Log

Features:

1. Log all PM and Emails, sent via forum forms.
2. Keep logs in separate table with automatic rotation of old records.
3. Add new menu items in topics and profiles for fast access.
4. Have nice dynamic menus in search results for cross-searches
5. Managed access for administrators (except superadmins)

How to install

1. Upload files to your server
2. Import product xml
3. Go to ACP
4. Select required settings in ?Vbulletin options → Private Message Log?
5. 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

PPS. Should work with 3.7.x (checked at 3.7.4)

This mod is developped here http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-pm_log . Patches are welcome.

Please, read previous posts prior to ask questions.

Being that it was an error on a different line in your code,-then the other persons post- I would think to just ask you instead of jumping to conclusions and messing it up even more then it already is. If someone's error code doesn't match mine exactly- I'm not just gonna go fiddling around- especially when the first result of your mod when no one at all being able to open a thread- me jumping to conclusions (just because) could've killed the whole site- all from one assumption. So being that the errors are different from one another, should I still do what was previously suggested for someone different?

I read every post before asking for help- even if there's 50, have done it before so trust reading the 5 little pages in this thread wasn't a problem.

Is it possible to log only PM that use triggered keywords?

Example. If I want to log all PMs that talk about planes, so if a PM has the word plane or aircraft (etc) in it it would log it and exclude the rest.

[Vitaly]

No.

Please, actually fix your problems instead of getting pissy with people who shouldn't have to code for you. It's amazing how many "developers" will try to pull this "read previous posts" instead of fixing their own errors

Hello,

I'm running 3.8.2 version and just installed your mod.
All users except SuperAdmin are getting HTTP ERROR 500 when they are trying to view any thread.

[megroup]

I'm also getting DB error message:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT
COUNT( * ) AS `Count`
FROM
`forum_rcd_log_pm` AS PM;

MySQL Error : Table 'forum_my.forum_rcd_log_pm' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146
