Admins can view user's PM's

After some requests and a debate in the requests forum I've finally finished the majority of this hack. It allows the admin to find a user via the current method in the control panel then click view user's pm's. They are then shown all the pm's in the users folders.

Includes admin logging and is designed to use the cp.css file which is already used by the control panel. I considered adding a search feature but it would be hard without indexing all of the pm's the way vBulletin already does. This means it would be a very limited search.
You can also now select which admins can view user pm's this is done the same way that restriction to the adminlogging is done, the variable is at the top of pm.php

This hack involves uploading pm.php to the admin directory then following the instructions which requires you adding the two links within /admin/user.php

Update was to fix broken smilies by disabling them and to show pm's in all folders not just the inbox. To update simply upload pm.php to your admin folder again.

I reuploaded pm.php but I don't see a change?

[JTMON]

ok I checked the two different versions with beyond compare and I certainly see a difference in them, but it still shows me the same list as the old one.

[Scott MacVicar]

Can you post a screenie? I haven't had this issue before but I have shift refreshed to no avail.

[JTMON]

I don't see the different folders. Everything else works great tho. Did you change user.php from the earlier version to this one?

[Scott MacVicar]

no changes to user.php, just linked to it

and the hack doesn't include the sent folder, as its simply stoes the pm's the user sent, do you really want to read them?

Scott

[JTMON]

Yes because this allows to check to see if they sent it. Another user may delete it casually, but a lot of people forget about the sent items folder. Please Please Please

ok change

  WHERE privatemessage.userid='$user[userid]' AND privatemessage.fromuserid!='$user[userid]' ORDER BY dateline DESC");

to

  WHERE privatemessage.userid='$user[userid]' ORDER BY dateline DESC");

in pm.php
