[RELEASE] Private Messaging (PM) Hack, v 1.2.0

It's HEREEEEE!

version 1.2.0, with so much increase functionality, including:
* Checkbox deletion/moving
* Lightbulb/last message by on index.php
* Icon for "Send Private Message" in posts
* Multiple folders for organization of PMs
* Designation of replied to messages
* Message quotas (untested, but should work fine)
* Sends email when message box is full
* Message forwarding
* Previous/Next PM when viewing
* Direct link to last message from index.php
* Receive email when PMed
* Usergroup function to turn off PMs
* Individual ability to turn off PMs
* index.php code bugfixed
* VERY simple PM stats (/private.php?action=checkstats)
* Banned IP checking
* and more...

Stats I posted elsewhere too:
* 35+ templates
* 4 new profile fields
* 3 new tables
* 1 new field to usergroup table

I was able to set up a stock 1.1.3b3 test board and the hack installed successfully. Upgrading shouldn't be a problem either, except for the template changes. I HIGHLY suggest you overwrite the templates in upgrade-template.txt and re-edit from there.

All other instructions should be located in the .zip.

Great hack ed! er, mike!

I did a new / fresh install with vb1.1.3b3, the whole thing took about 30 min to install, however i need to change around more templates for a custom look (yay)... Everything went smooth, great documentation. No problems yet!

Just wondering if anyone successfully upgraded yet? I did a fresh install myself without any problems, but I haven't tried the upgrade yet

Help! the [Send A Private Message] - [Send A Reply] -[Forward This Message] links are all white, and so is my background! What template do i change this in?

OK, i found the template that its in, and the text should be set by the $cssinclude info, right? for some reason everything on the page works fine, but the text color for the above 3 links comes up white, i cant figure this out!

Anyone know whats going on here? Feel free to register on my forums to see what im talking about, this is really wierd!

It uses the thtcolor (I think it's called that) that is defined in $cssinclude - either change the color in $cssinclude (which, BTW, will change more than just those links) or go into the privmsglist and showprivmsg templates and change the 3 areas.

I tried to change my preferences to turn on the e-mail notification. When I hit submit it told me that the e-mail address was already in use. Like I was trying to re-register.

Has anyone else come across this in 1.1.3?

That's something related to 1.1.3 - not my hack. There was a thread about it somewhere, Bug Reports I presume.

Umm... is it a good or bad thing that not many people have responded?

Seriously - how many people have actually installed this new version, either "freshly" or "upgraded"?

Because if you're not posting anything, I assume there's no problems - which is a GOOD thing

I'm gonna do it in a few hours

I'll cuss you after I'm done

Looking good.

Just did a clean install on beta 3, everything works great so far.

Thanks again for the great hack!

On a side note, if someone could make some graphics, that would be greeeeat.
