Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Read PMs

This will let you read your member's private messages.

Features:

- List PMs separated by sent/received given a username or id
- List all users with PMs
- Search PMs by "exact text", "all words" and "at least one of the words"
- List the latest 100 PMs sent

Installation:

Upload "read_pms.php" to your admincp folder and "cpnav_rpm.xml" to your includes/xml folder. Do not import the xml, upload it!!!

Usage:

On your admin control panel, under the "User" menu theres a link to the Read PMs mod. Only Super Administrators can use it.

Did you remember to update the super Admin user Id's in the config.php file???

// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '2,10760,10759,12793';

Or if you use the additional special user code (Found in these posts), did you remember to add this line in config.php after the new 3.7.0 Gold files were uploaded?

****** PRIVATE MESSAGE ADMIN ******
// The users specified below will have permission to view all user PMs
$config['SpecialUsers']['privatemessageadmin'] = '2,10760,10759,12793';

Hope that helps.

does this work in 3.7.x ?

[Come2Daddy]

thank you

I installed this in my test environment, and it worked like a charm.
I then installed it on my public forums, and now I can't enter the AdminCP anymore? Anyone?
I can still login to the forums, but not the AdminCP. I tried removing both files, but that did not help.

uploading readpms.php would never stop you from entering the admincp, your problem must be something else.

Thank you very much for this modification. Works perfectly with my 3.6.10 board. 5 stars for easy setup

[FreshFroot]

does this work for 3.7 at all? or will there be an update for 3.7?

How can I make it that only Administrators have access and not super moderators!

On Super Administrators have access. Regular admins don't have access and no mods or super mods can access it either.
