I have it working for 3.6 too. I had to change to the alt version and make sure I made the first change to pm_showpm and the second change to pm_newpm, but it worked. Also used Mark B's change to get the smilie in and that worked as well.

Also the code you delete in pm_showpm

<form action="private.php" method="post">

is actually

<form action="private.php?do=managepm&amp;dowhat=delete&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]" method="post">

I've attached a version that will work with 3.6.*. I made it 1.0.2. The original author can re-edit and publish as he likes.

I'm trying to get this installed in 3.6.2, but the line "<form action="private.php" method="post">" doesn't appear in my pm_showpm template. I haven't edited it before, it's default template.

Does this version work with 3.6.3????

I installed this last night...and tested it...it worked...but now...I'm getting some of my users saying it's not working....????

In the instructions it says to:

In the template: pm_showpm
=============================
FIND & DELETE:
=============================

<form action="private.php" method="post">

But of course that does not exist in VB3.6.4....so...instead I deleted:

<form action="private.php?do=managepm&amp;dowhat=delete& amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]" method="post">

I'm wondering if that was correct????

And...

Could the reason some are not getting it to work...could it be that it's because where the insturctions say to:

=============================
FIND:
=============================

$postbit
<br />

=============================
BELOW THIS, ADD:
=============================

<!-- START PM QUICK REPLY -->
$quickpmreply
<form action="private.php" method="post">
<!-- END PM QUICK REPLY -->

Should that instead be:

<!-- START PM QUICK REPLY -->
$quickpmreply
<form action="private.php?do=managepm&amp;dowhat=delete& amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]" method="post">
<!-- END PM QUICK REPLY -->

I sure do wish this would work....I NEED IT BAD!!!

anyone get this working for 3.6.4? it seems like theres mixed reactions on it.

About the hack that is causing blank messages...

I installed a shoutbox last night, and this morning one member complained of blank messages. It's most likely either that hack, or the User Shouting hack. I've had this quick reply for abou a month and didn't encounter any problems. =]

[bcmedia]

The new file attached contains fixes needed for it to work correctly in 3.6.x. I have it working on 3.6.3 but imagine it will work fine for all 3.6 versions.

[MThornback]

Doesn't work with 3.6.7PL1...

Everything shows up except the Message Box

[scottct1]

Same problem here, I get the subject, the smiles etc, but no box to type in my message.

Anyone know how to fix this?
