Private Message Workbench: Read, Search, Delete, Report and more

PM Workbench v1.00 Beta 5

================================================== ============================
Hack: PM Workbench
Version: 1.00 Beta 5
Author: MarcoH64
vB Version: vBulletin 3.5.0. RC2
================================================== ============================


Important Notice:
Depending on the modules installed, a privacy statement might be added to your board.
This Privacy Statement can not be removed or hidden by any means. Failure to comply would be against the TOS
of this hack, and you would not be allowed to use it.

If your board already has a Privacy Notice covering reading Private Messages by Administrators, you can PM me a link to that statement on your board (provide test login if needed) and your email address, and i will mail a Plugin to remove the Privacy link.


What is this hack?
PM Workbench offers you a variety of tools for working with or extending the standard vBulletin Private Message System.
It is a Modular System that will allow you to add those functions that you need for your board. New Modules might be added later.
The system is fully phrased and options can be set in vBulletin Options.
Permissions to use Modules are given using the includes/config.php for increased security.
Currently no file or template edits are needed.

More modules might be added later. For some i am waiting for new hooks to be implemented in RC3.

Currently Supported Modules:

PM Workbench - Report PM

This Module adds a Report PM icon to the postbit when users are reading a PM. The reports and send to the PM Folder of the
userid defined to receive them. Administrators who are given access can read the reports, the original PM, and add notes to them.

Features:
- Access to the PM Reports is controlled in your config.php for added security
- Add report button to PM's, no template edit needed.
- Usersw can give a reason for the report.
- Reported PM's can be seen without modifications to them (PM's are not forwarded, but just added to the inbox of the report userid).
- PM's are fully parsed
- Notes can be added to reports.


PM Workbench - Read/Search Private Messages

This Module let administrators who are given permission, search and read PM's

Features:
- Access to the PM's is controlled in your config.php for added security
- PM's can be searched for:
- Keyword (title and/or body)
- Username (sender/receiver/both, optional exact match)
- Send date after
- Send date before
- With a simple click read the PM and see who still have it in their folders.


PM Workbench - Performance Pack

Add extra indexes to the pmtext table for faster searching.


Known limitations:
The 'Report PM' module might not work on some heavily modified Styles. I will be (hopefully) posting another (beta) hack for that tomorrow.

T2Dman, I implemented your file edits in posts #200 and #201 in admincp/mh_pmwbrd.php - I only use the search and read function - but I'm still getting the following error when I read a PM:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/adminfunctions_mh_pmwb.php(281) : eval()'d code on line 33

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/adminfunctions_mh_pmwb.php(281) : eval()'d code on line 36

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 2508

I would donate some money to have this upgrade to 3.7

[zylstra]

I added a userid in the includes/config.php file but that user cannot see the PM Workbench item in the admincp. Is there anything else I need to do to let this admin see this?

[gnrmarcel]

works with 3.7.x?

[fluentdesigns]

This mod hasnt worked since 3.5 so i would say no. Sad as this mod was one of the most used backend tools.

[Blackhat]

what about this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=search+pm

[Alfa1]

What about it?

[PDM]

for 3.7.x Do it work?

I'm also wondering if this works with 3.7.3 PL1 as I've just upgraded my test forum and it no longer works.
