$memberlistbits

with

<td class="thead" align="right"><input type="checkbox" name="allbox" title="$vbphrase[check_uncheck_all]" onclick="js_check_all(this.form);" />$vbphrase[check_uncheck_all]</td>

$memberlistbits

How does this template modification work?
This template edit puts a checkbox right to each user. If you click on "Send PMs", the small javascript generates a custom url "private.php?do=newpm&userid[]=1&userid[]=2&userid[]=3" and refreshes actual window with this url. Javascript code is mostly from Quick Links > Open Buddy List.

You can for example only show this mod for moderators, supermoderators and administrators (usergroups 5,7,6). Note that you have to put this condition for any template edit you want to only show to these usergroups.

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6,7))">
here you do put template edits
</if>

Sorry, this mod is unsupported.

Can you at least help with the second edit. I have the one you already helped with and I try and do the other two on my own. I'm afraid I won't be able to figure out the big edit.

[ThorstenA]

Sorry, this mod is unsupported. If you want to code yourself and have questions about coding, please go to appropriate forums on vbulletin.org. Thank you.

Yes. There is a "Check / Uncheck All" box.
