Improved PM Folderview

TESTED ON 2.3.0 AND FOUND WORKING

What does it do?

You know it happens to me pretty often that my users wonder why they cannot receive any more pm's. the standard question "did you check your sent items folder?" is answered with the standard question "do i have a sent items folder?"...

to avoid that, this hack shows the user on the privatemessage mainpage which folders they have in a list with the ability to add a folder without having to switch to the folders template.

aditionally, i modified the pmgauge enhanced hack by WWW.TOTAL-IMPACT.COM aka princeton a little and included it.

so, its nothing special, but maybe some people like it.
note: im new to this, so the code might be very ugly...

instructions:

1) follow instructions.txt

Credits: The_Sisko, mystics and boofo for finding bugs and helping with the code

Please notice this add-on by matt that allows you to have the amount of messages in each folder displayed next to it. Working on 2.2.9 too.

NOTICE: If you installed the private messages backup hack by Cano2 which is found here, you will have to to change a bit in the instructions.txt:

where it says to find:

PHP Code:

  //get correct folder name
  if ($folderid=="0") { 


you will need to find the SECOND instance as the private message backup hack adds another instance of this code to the file.

NOTICE2: if you installed the PM Quota by Usergroup Hack by g-force2k2 that can be found here then the solution to make both work together is here

please click install if you use it, thank you

Just was about to do the same *G*

My query:

PHP Code:

SELECT count(*) as count FROM `privatemessage` WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND folderid = $folder[folderid] 


Something like this to get, but anyway, you already did it

[Matt]

I hope

thank you matt, it works very fine and is exactly the addition needed i think.

3 little comments:

1) in your instruction file the colors are hardcoded instead of

PHP Code:

#13486D 


2) could u please do the instructions for the private2.php (message tracking) and the privsent template too as now it doesnt work yet.

3) can i include your addon in the original instruction file if i fully credit you?

greets

I installed this hack works great, but the board uses a width of 770. how can i get it so that the prive folder area is inline with the header and footer instead of being stretched wider?

[kreftt]

how did u get the board to be 770 ?

by changing the

PHP Code:

{contenttablewidth} 


variable in the replacements or by manually editing the content-table parts in the header template?

afaik the privfolder additions all include

PHP Code:

{contenttablewidth} 


as width-tag and therefore should use your 770 if you used the first method described above.

could u post the last lines of your header template?

[Nemesis77]

in the Admin CP under Styles/Modify for Main Table Width: it's set to 770 and for Content Table Width:
it set to 750

Here's the last few lines of my header

              </td>
              </tr>
              <tr id="cat"> 
                <td bgcolor="#000000" " width="80%" align="left" background="back22.gif" height="25"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-2"> <!-- toplinks -->
   $xmenucssexpr
   $xmenucode
   $xmenudef
   <!-- /toplinks -->
                  </td></tr>
            </table>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
  </tr>
</table>
<!--added menu -->
<!-- content table -->
<table bgcolor="#0E3652" width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
  <td>

Thanks for replying

[kreftt]

PHP Code:

<table bgcolor="#0E3652" width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"> 


either there was a code-pasting problem here or your width="100%" should be

PHP Code:

width="{ contenttablewidth }" 


(without the spaces) or width="750" instead, preferably the variable...

[Nemesis77]

Sorry the last line of my header actually does say tablewidth i forgot the put the space and vb put the value when i posted the thread.

so this is actually the last line of my header

<!-- content table -->
<table bgcolor="{ pagebgcolor}" width="{ tablewidth}" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
  <td>

[kreftt]

im sorry

ive tried myself and even as its plain dumb html, i have been unable to get that bloody hack to a width of 750...

sorry i cant help you
