Verify user accepts PMs before sending

Hi,

Don't know about you, but on my BB one of the most annoying issues has always been the case where you write a long PM, hit 'send' only to get the error message "user X's box is full and he cannot accept pms now" or "user X selected not to receive PMs or isn't allowed to". Well great, now you tell me!

Have no fear, a hack is here: a simple button that allows you to verify a user accepts PMs before you actually go about filling in the message area.

(This is especially helpful if you are using no-cache headers in private.php or in general, because hitting 'back' on the browser in those cases doesn't help - your message will have been lost.)



The hack is very simple and should be quite easy to install. The instructions are enclosed in the txt attachment.

Cheers,

Bira

I'm a novice coder but usually can copy and paste well. When I installed this hack, to test I PM'd myself. With my username in Recipient box, pressed verify and got the invalid user error. Any ideas? I went over everything again before posting this. Thanks in advance.

Same problem her ??

[eva2000]

did you guys try pm someone other than yourself.. maybe pming yourself is the problem ?

[bira]

when I write "bira" in the To field and then click "verify" I get the message that bira accepts PMs and there's no problem.

I can't honestly figure out why you have that problem.

I hate to admit this but on every hack except one my problem was user error. I'll try this one again from the beginning. More than likely I performed a step wrong or left something out. Thanks.

Could this be expanded so that it displays that message when a person tries to PM someone who has them ignored? I have someone on my ignore list who keeps PMing me, and I never see them cause he's ignored, but he's obviously not getting any message that says that.

I installed. then i got this error in the admin panel

Parse error: parse error in /home/69flyguy/public_html/forum/admin/functions.php on line 820

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: vbdate() in /home/69flyguy/public_html/forum/admin/sessions.php on line 362


Now i am guessing it is from when i edited functions.php

but this is line 820 :

$buffer = str_replace(""", "/"", $buffer);

can someone help me?

i gues this should be in the support forum

Ciao
