Private Messages Enhancements - LAM - PM Security Notice

This product displays a small banner above private messages from certain user groups to inform the user if they are reading a PM from a trusted user group or not.


Installation

1. Download and uncompress the attached .zip file
   LAM_PMSecurityNotice.zip
2. Upload the images
   Copy the contents of the upload folder onto your web server
   Note: If you use a custom style you may need to copy/move the images into your style's misc image folder
3. Install the product
   AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Add/Import Product -> Import Product

Configuration

This product supports three different messages;

Verified - This is used on my site to show that a PM has come from a moderator, a super moderator or an administrator, and therefore its contents can be trusted.

Authorised - This is used on my site to show a PM has come from an authorised trader - someone who has paid to trade on my site.

Untrusted - And as I get a lot of people who just create accounts to try and sell junk via the PM system, this one I use to show a PM has come from an newbie account.

All of the above are triggered by the PM senders group ID, and these are controlled by the following options;



You can simply change the settings above to suit your needs. If a particular banner isn't wanted then leave the setting blank. This product is fully phrased so you can change any of the messages as needed.


Example

Here are some examples of each of the banners. The verified banner;



The authorised banner;



The untrusted banner;

Although I've written this product for vB 4 the original idea came from the PM Security Certificate product written by magnus.
Thanks to DS MrSinister for spotting the vBulletin 4.0.7 problem.

Hi,

It works...

But now (maybe feature request): How can I change it so that it looks a little bit more like this (ps, that site is running on vb3.X):



I was able to add something between official & staff... But on the site I saw that, there is that part in bold...
And also like you can see there is a little bit more text...

So how to:
* add Bold text + Maybe how to change the color of that text
* add more text to it (like that red text)

Is there a possibility to make it so that those things are also added in the "LAM - PM Security Notice" Setting Group?
Just asking...
And if this could be done,
that would be very great!

Friendly greetings,
Valcav
