Welcome back, my friend.

Thanks, latly I pretty much giving up on making hacks for vbulletin till 3.0 comes out. Ive been working on other projects in the mean time. Most for some freinds.

Current Projects (Not intergrated with vbulletin in any way):

Team managment page - user system with user profiles and a admin and user system that allow team admins to create accounts then users to log in and edit there profile.

List List - shows a list of links added by a team admin and also supports banners and tells the status of the site.

Image Gallery with auto thumbnailer

FAQ system that allows people to search FAQ's and team admins to add there own

Projects page - allows the admin to add, edit and delete current prjects and add a screen shot, link, description and other things.

Online dictionary - A custom dictionary where some one can add a word, pronouncian, translation, description and comments. Also with the dictionary withh be a search feature and a text translator feature.

Confirmed working on 2.3.0, however I made a few slight modifcations in the manner that the private message previews are displayed. I noticed that you were utilizing nl2br() to convert new lines into <br> which can stretch the layout so I removed the call to that function and added a str_replace() to remove carriage returns "\n" and new lines "\n" from the $lastpmstuff['preview'] variable.

Can you show us what you changed in the code itself?

[Kriek]

Open index.php and find

PHP Code:

$lastpmstuff['preview'] = preg_replace("/\[[^\]]*\]/","",$lastpmstuff['message']); 


Add the following below it

PHP Code:

$lastpmstuff['preview'] = str_replace(array("\n","\r\n","\r")," ",$lastpmstuff['preview']); 


Remain in index.php and find

PHP Code:

$lastpmstuff['preview'] = trim(nl2br(dowordwrap($lastpmstuff['preview']))); 


Replace with the following

PHP Code:

$lastpmstuff['preview'] = trim(dowordwrap($lastpmstuff['preview']));

Here's what I already had for that piece of code and I think it works about the same way, doesn't it?

PHP Code:

 $lastpmstuff['preview'] = preg_replace("/\[[^\]]*\]/","",$lastpmstuff['message']); 
 $lastpmstuff['preview'] = str_replace("\"","",$lastpmstuff['preview']);
 $lastpmstuff['preview'] = trim(htmlspecialchars($lastpmstuff['preview']));
 if (strlen($lastpmstuff['preview']) > 300) {
   $lastpmstuff['preview'] = substr($lastpmstuff['preview'], 0, 300) . "…";
  }
  $lastpmstuff['preview'] = trim(dowordwrap($lastpmstuff['preview'])); // for pm title= preview

Technically yes, but it will not remove carriage returns and/or new lines.

[Boofo]

I tried it with your code and the message looked all run together. I want it to look like it does in the pm when you preview it.

[Kriek]

Then you completely misunderstood the purpose of my modifcations, as I do NOT want the preview to look like the original private message, because it stretches the layout; imagine a private message with ten or more carriage returns.

[Boofo]

I understand what you mean now. Sorry about that. It is just a little hard to read all bunched together for me.
