Super Admins can Read Private Messages · **Released**: 07-24-2005

Important: version 1.7 alpha 1 is for 3.7.3 PL1 and not meant as a stable build.

Admins who don't want to hide their plugin from other admins can import the product .xml file and then put the cpnav_readpm.xml in the includes/xml/ folder so their left menu has a link to pm.php

What does this do?

This allows a super admin to read the private messages (all folders) from any registered member through the admin control panel.

This was really the first hack for version 3 of vBulletin, and now upgraded to 3.5 because of many .. many .. many requests. ..many.

Documentation: Read the pm.php file.

Installation: Upload to admincp/

Usage: admincp/pm.php?userid=x (where x = userid)

Author: Scott (the ninja code):ninja:

Moral: Don't use this pm.php to read your member PM because you can or because you are curious, but to find evidence of PM-spam or in case of scams, fraud, court order related issues or because the bunny has to get it.

Disclaimer: No stuffed animals were hurt, repeatedly.

Support: No

There are at least 2 other hacks like this for 3.5, if this one don't work on Gold.

This is true, but I believe Floris's is the better of the available ones..

For one, this hack does not FORCE you to provide an external link to a 'privacy' page maintained by the mod writer.

Another reason is that isn't a 'hack' or plugin or mod... It's a file that you browse to with a userid... Therefore, using this wouldn't void vB.com's support should you need their help.

There are more, but again, I guess it is just down to personal preference. I do hope that this is made to work with Gold, but if not, such is life!

There is a way around it, under some conditions. But it is your choice in the end.

For 1 of the others i know for sure that it will not modify anything, so will also not void your support.

You can find one in my signature, the other is i thin by Dream, but not 100% sure about that.

Please read 1 post above yours.

SnowBot · #43 10-25-2005, 12:42 PM

Hi Guys

If you go to the sent items box and read a PM it does not tell you who they sent it to anymore

***** sent at 1:25 on 19th October 2005

I am sure it used to say

***** sent at 1:25 on 19th October 2005 To *****

Can we have this added please ?

biggjoe · #44 11-11-2005, 07:24 PM

Floris, thanks for the great hack! I can confirm that it works with vB 3.5 with no probs what so ever!

Then last week, I did a full upgrade to vB 3.5.1 and worked perfectly afterwards. I thought that I might have had to do some slight post-upgrade tweaking, but it wasn't necessary.

Thanks again!

Joe

TOZ · #45 11-20-2005, 05:22 AM

Can anyone tell me how to make the text appear on the pull down menu that suppose to say View users PM. Everything works it just appears blank.
I know you can edit this, but where exactly is it ??

now create a new phrase in "Control Panel User Management" as follows:
varname: view_users_pms
text: View Users PM's
