PM Security Certificate

Keywords: PM, Private Message, Security, Verification

Description:

Informs the user that the PM they are reading was in fact sent by forum staff.

Details:

This template modification was developed by request [LINK] of RED SPIDER.

I opted not to phrase this as that would be more effort than this modification really deserves. I've included the image file used in the screenshot.

Installation:

In either POSTBIT and/or POSTBIT_LEGACY, paste the following code at the top.

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, 5, 6, 7)">
<br />

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="98%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<tr>
	<td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/verified.gif" width="27" height="32" alt="Verified!" /></td>
	<td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#339900">V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">This message was sent by an official <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong> staff member. It's contents can be trusted.</font></td>
</tr>
</table>

<br />
</if>

Nothing has really changed, simply add to postbit or postbit_legacy.

I like that alot more! here is the updated version, using your layout, to include separate messages from the admin, supermoderator, and moderator usergroups:

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, 5)">
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"class="tborder">
<tr>
    <td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/verified.gif" width="27" height="32" alt="Verified!" /></td>
    <td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#339900">V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">This message was sent by an official <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong> Super Moderator. The contents of this private message can be trusted.</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, 7)">
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"class="tborder">
<tr>
    <td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/verified.gif" width="27" height="32" alt="Verified!" /></td>
    <td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#339900">V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">This message was sent by an official <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong> Moderator. The contents of this private message can be trusted.</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>      
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='private' && is_member_of($post, 6)">
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"class="tborder">
<tr>
    <td class="alt1" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/verified.gif" width="27" height="32" alt="Verified!" /></td>
    <td class="alt2"><strong><font size="2" color="#339900">V E R I F I E D</font></strong><br /><font size="1">This message was sent by an official <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong> Administrator. The contents of this private message can be trusted.</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>

thanks, very nice hack

[JJH35]

If anyone wants to attach a warning image to the WARNING notices (permitting you added that onto the certificate) i have attached a 27x27 png file, just edit the code to make it warning.png

place the warning.png file in your style > misc folder.
