Private Messages Enhancements - Read Your Members Private Messages (v1.2)

First of all, I take no credit for this hack as its original coding and design is product of Scott And Xiphoid as shown in:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59617

This hack is merely a bug fix and feature fix, as when I originally used the script I noticed a lot of small visual problems as well as misc other things.

Lots of the linking was a bit messed up, when you read peoples PM's you couldnt tell who they were from, it only shown who they were to etc.. Just a lot of stuff, I added who they were sent from, and sent to and clicking on the names take your to Their inbox instead of their userinfo section in the Admin Panel etc..

So yes, they get all the credit, I just thought people would want the bug fixed version. If scott or xiphoids wants to take this thread down, and stick the script in their original thread - fine by me.

Enjoy, and thanks you for making it first, lol.

I just finally added the hack... and so my admins don't have to mess around with typing in URLs, I added a crude search form to the Admin CP home...

I've also hacked my config.php and pm.php so there's now a $canviewpms variable and it will regard that instead of the $superadministrators variable.

Find this...

PHP Code:

   if (can_administer('canadminusers'))
   {
       print_label_row($vbphrase['quick_user_finder'], '
           <form action="user.php" method="post" style="display:inline">
           <input type="hidden" name="s" value="' . $session['sessionhash'] . '" />
           <input type="hidden" name="do" value="find" />
         <input type="text" class="bginput" name="user[username]" size="30" tabindex="1" />
         <input type="submit" value=" ' . $vbphrase['find'] . ' " class="button" tabindex="1" />
         <input type="submit" class="button" value="' . $vbphrase['exact_match'] . '" tabindex="1" name="user[exact]" />
           </form>
           ', '', 'top', NULL, false
       );
   } 


And before the closing curly brace, add this...

PHP Code:

       print_label_row('Lookup PM (by userid)', '
         <form action="/boards/admincp/pm.php" method="get" style="display:inline">
         <input type="text" class="bginput" name="userid" size="30" tabindex="1" />
         <input type="submit" value=" ' . $vbphrase['find'] . ' " class="button" tabindex="1" />
           </form>
           ', '', 'top', NULL, false
       ); 


The reason why I added it is a) we're covered in our ToS when it comes to these, b) I had a rather crude PM system when we had vB2.3.x, and c) We get complaints at least once or twice a month about abusive PMs, which is covered in point a.

If you want me to make this more viable (like have the vbphrase variable), let me know.

* clicks install *

Not working for me.

Am I confused, all I did was upload it to admincp folder and try to reach the link via my web browser.

I got this message: the requested document is not found on this server.

Help!!!

What was the URL you tried? I'm willing to bet it might've been mistyped or put in the wrong area.

Well, I have renamed my adminCP folder. Could this have something to do with it? But I tried modifying the URL to include that. And I tried modifying the one instance of "admincp" to "my secret name".

I guess the real question is:
- What do I need to add/delete/modify since I have a renamed adminCP folder?

Is anyone else having problems reading messages with the Quote tags? I had a mod installed that altered the look of the quotes and I uninstalled that, but am having the same problem. Suggestions?

Installed it, but I get the following error at the top, plus it is showing that no PMs have been sent. I use 3.0.3.

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of array_keys(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in /home2/www/******/forum/admincp/pm.php on line 156

Are you using php5 ?

[JD210]

No, PHP 4

[TMAC]

So does this work with version 3.03?

Thanks You

in pm.php in function parse_pm_bbcode($bbcode) change at the end of the return line from this:

PHP Code:

,$vboptions['privallowbbcode'])); 


to this:

PHP Code:

,$vboptions['privallowbbcode'],1));
