Please note that the Ajax Datagrid that comes as free to you is a commercial script and thus using it outside the specific folder (christeris/datagrid) is not allowed by the script's license agreement.
1.- What is PM Spy
It's a very simple utility to help Admins/Moderators (depending on usergroup permissions), to know what is happening behind the scene. In simple words with this utility you can search all user PM's using Ajax (search as you type).
You can search on:
Sender
Recipient(s) ....Pending... I'm waiting a fix from the author of Datagrid
Title
Message
Send date
Usernames are clickable to user profile
Moving the mouse over the title you can see the full message in tooltip. Don't forget that the text that your enter as search in Title also searches in Message body.
Multi mark PMs as read (does not affects the User Read vb option).
By clicking the title you can change indexing Ascending/Descending to all fields.
2.- Todo List.
If I'll see that this utility will be usefull to you (at least 50 installations) I have in mind to extend it by adding some more features like:
Edit PM
Delete PM (Single or Multi action)
Ban User
.... and many more
3.- Installation
Download and unzip the file PMSpy_XXXX.zip
Upload the content of upload folder to the directory where your vB installation is. As a check: pmspy.php must be on the same directory as global.php, forum.php etc. PM Spy is not working out of vB installation directory.
CMOD 666 the file: christeris/datagrid/logs/errorlog.txt
Goto Admincp and import product-pmspy.xml
There are some settings at Settings-> Options-> PM Spy Settings
Even if I believe that the error was temporary, try to upload the attached file at:
christeris/datagrid/includes/
As for the menu you've to wait till the next update.
Really don't know. The only that I understood from the screenshots is that you can see a log of PMs for specific (??) users. I'm not sure what this log shows. eg shows only the title or it also shows the message? Also, as I understood it duplicates the PMs in database. That's gets lot of extra space.
My addon works only with the active PMs. I mean that there is no duplication. Any PM that has not deleted can be search. The search is global. eg thank's to Ajax to functionality, you can start typing "chri" in the "From user" field and the grid will reduce PMs showing only those who have "chri" in sender username. On the same way you can reduce even more the list by searching text (in title and message body).
In geveral the current version of my addon is a powerful search engine for PMs only. In furthure updates I'll add the possibility to delete PMs, or to ban members etc.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/christeris/datagrid/includes/pmspy_functions.php on line 19
but in upload folder there was no "pmspy_functions.php", I uploaded one there from post 9 here but same thing.
Did re-uploaded "includes" file few times but same thing... everything else seems ok and this error does not bother me if there will be no problems with this mod or something else

Thank you.
Are you sure that you upload the file at: christeris/datagrid/includes/ directory and NOT to forum_folder/includes/ ??
Yes it's should works but you'll not see data in the "To User(s)" field.
Chris, the only way to view is by hovering the mouse over the PM title? How can I make the pop-up box stay active longer? How can I make the character limitation in the active box more?
