It can be downloaded from here: http://www.enter.net/~rmsullivan/pmhack1.2.zip . The instructions are included within that.

Agreed this would be a good feature. I would prefer this to the ability for people to email my members directly, for them only to be able to send them private messages and then have the private messaging system email the user to tell them they have a message waiting. Especially as I have had a recent incident of someone abusing my mailing system.

Also, it would be great if there was a facility for admins only (i.e. me) to send a private message to *every* registered user.

nice ideas. Got my vote!

I had your spam message in mind when I posted my message Mark. Maybe we could, when John builds this into the pukka code, also have an option to stop specific users from using the facility if they abused it, but seperate from their posting rights section. Probably getting beyond the realms of a hack now...

Nothing is beyond the realms of this hack

...good suggestions though. Dunno when they'll get implemented though. As I've mentioned several times, I want to do a UBB import utility first.

Well, may I politely suggest that you get on with it then...

Well, in that case, I'm not going to write it!

But seriously, calm down - I have to write more than just this one script. The ones I write for UBBHackers.com are pretty big!

Ahh, I'm rambling (in 2 sentences!). I hope to have the import utility done by June 24th, because if not, it won't come out till after July 2nd, since I'm going on vacation.

in the index.php hack, there is still the "UNIX_TIMESTAMP(datetime)" problem, which causes msg's to always be new. take away the UNIX_TIMESTAMP, and it works

No no no, it supposed to be like that. I store the dates using MySQL's DATETIME field - and I need to pull them out like that.

I use v1.1.3b2 and it works fine like that...

(You realize I just ended every sentence with "like that" )

works on 1.1.2 and before, all old messages were new. Now it works...wierd....

One more thing... Would it be possible to place check boxes next to the list of "sent" messages, so instead of deleting them one at a time you could check as many messages as you want and delete them all at once.

Thanks,

Rick
