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

Hello,

It would be great to be able to view all messages (messages bodies, not just message subjects) on one page.

At present, one can only see the message subject, and has to click on that to see the message body.

It would be useful, however, to see a list of all messages and their message content (or even just xxx characters of the content) and be able to move or delete each message from this screen without having to click on each message individually.

For people with a larger number of PMs stored, this would be a real help. Make it optional if necessary.

What do you think? Could anybody else use this functionality?

my quota are never red..., normal?

[kreftt]

i guess so.

im not sure but i think there is no such thing like a pm quota for admins...

[LouChipher]

sure kreftt... i'm using 250% of my quota... but other members seen only green and yellow quota, too...

[kreftt]

you are completely right, this appears to be a bug in the original pm gauge hack:

in your private.php FIND:

EDIT: this forum parses the bbcode, so i cant insert it. you MUST take out the space between the { and the imagesfolder} in both the code to find and to paste.

PHP Code:

  if ($pmpercent>50) {
  $barimg="{ imagesfolder}/yellow.gif";
  } elseif ($pmpercent>75) {
  $barimg="{ imagesfolder}/red.gif"; 


notice that if the pm box is full, the first condition (%>50) is true, so the second condition (%>75) isnt queried at all and the image will always be yellow.

so REPLACE that with:

PHP Code:

  if ($pmpercent>75) {
  $barimg="{ imagesfolder}/red.gif";
  } elseif ($pmpercent>50) {
  $barimg="{ imagesfolder}/yellow.gif"; 


and you should be done, worked for me.

ZIP in first post will be updated in a minute.
