PM button in postbit

This is the new and improved version of the PM button in postbit modification found here.

What does it do?
Adds the PM button to the postbit of each user next to the edit button.
It does not show in your own postbit, as you don't really want to send yourself a PM - do you?

So what's new and improved about it?
It no longer shows in the private messages or to guests.

How to install
Download the text file and perform the enclosed template edit.

For those who want to know what it looks like, a screen shot is attached.

I'm wondering why this is needed when there's a link to PM the person in their username drop-down?

Very Nice

It didnt work for me either. 3.6.4

Installed it in the postbit template and it doesnt appear in the post

I even deleted <if condition="$post[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid] AND THIS_SCRIPT!='private'"></if> and still no go

I've only just upgraded to 3.6.4 last night, so any problems are going to be revisited over the coming days/weeks and updates issued where required.

In saying that though, there isn't any reason why this wouldn't work that I am aware of.

Thanks for the update, I had only updated the postbit section, added it to posbit legacy and sure enough it pops right up

Absolutely nothing.

If there is to be an update it unknown yet, and if there is then I have no idea what it will be.

(Can you guess I haven't even thought about it yet?)

Hi Kerry-Anne,

I like the look of this hack however I seem to has missed the point I think re the template edit?

Version 1.0.2

Changes in v 1.0.2

Does not show PM button in private messages
Does not show PM button to guests


TEMPLATES TO EDIT = 1

Template postbit (or postbit legacy)

FIND

<div align="$stylevar[right]">

I have version 3.6.4 and the only place I can find <div align="$stylevar[right]"> is in postbit_quickedit which can not be right surely?

I have done a full search in templates as I could not find the code in postbit when looking direct.

Any light you could shine why I am not seeing this in the postbit or postbit legacy would be wonderful.

Update and the word TYPICAL come to mind!!!!

Just made this post then found what I was looking for!

For anyone else trying to add this look for this

<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="$stylevar[right]"><!-- controls -->

if you have any form of styling running on your forum as the style="margin-top: 10px" cought me right out on this one.

O'well all sorted at last so I can now say thank for a nice hack and worked first time once I found the above problem. One for my book that one!!!

Thanks again,

Regards
Funboy
