This hack allows users to backup their private messages to a local file.

I know that there exists allready a very similar hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=&pagenumber=1 ) but it contains a serious bug, which allows every users to read everybodys private messages (details see link).

Aditionally this hack works with templates and has some enhanced functionality.

This hack is succesfully tested with a fresh install of vBulletin 2.2.4

I post it here, not as a full release, because of the unclear situation (im new to this board...).

@mods Please excuse me, and move this thread, if you think it's located better elsewhere

lates, Cano2

I've gone over this hack several times and cannot figure out why I receive this message when I click the back up button:

Parse error: parse error in /home/glassmav/public_html/forum/private.php(151) : eval()'d code on line 1
Private Messages - Backup from 01-22-2004
Save this page as a HTML file and delete old private messages.

Here is the section of private.php

while (list($key,$val)=each($allfolders)) {
$thisfolder = split("\|\|\|", $val);
$foldernames[($thisfolder[0]+1)] = $thisfolder[1];
} --------> this is line151
}
//get correct folder name
if ($message["folderid"]=="0") {
$foldername = $inboxname;


I am on a Mac, OS 10 Jaguar, running 2.3 VBulletin

The first time I "backed up" I had quite a few messages, but I don't know where they were downloaded to.

I tried backing up again, but that message didn't get deleted when I checked. Do I have to manually delete them?

Thanks for the help.

Works great on 2.3.4! Unless you have a heavily hacked forum, the install instructions follow to a "T". No issues what so ever.

Thanks for a GREAT addition to my forum!

Same for me.
It works fine in Mozilla. There it will save with the correct name, pnbackup_13-02-2004.html.

But if I click on the backup button from IE under XP, it just want to save it as "private" (with the correct contents, I might add, just the wrong filename).

Any fix for this?

Edit: Just to make a follow up on my own post. If you edit the template "privbackup_header" and change the following:

PHP Code:
header("Content-type: unknown/unknown"); 
to:
PHP Code:
header("Content-type: text/html"); 
IE will at least create the correct extension to the file. Otherwise you have to do it yourself.

Might this have something to do with this bug? http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q279667

Installed it on 2.3.4 and it works fine except for one thing. I have installed the optional privbackup_header template but I still don't get an actual download option, I just get sent to the html page with the PM's listed on it and instructions to save it.

I need something a little more dummy proof for my users, so I need the actual save box to come up automatically. Any ideas?

Ok, weird. I installed it on one forum and got what I posted before. I installed it on the second forum (Identical instilation) and it works as it should, popping up the "Save as" box when you hit backup.

For resolv this problem:

You must change this command:
PHP Code:
eval(gettemplate("privbackup_header",0)); 
to:
PHP Code:
eval(gettemplate("privbackup_header",0,0));
