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

Works great. I'm running 2.2.5 and besides some minor code differences everything works great. Thanks, my members love it already.

so im the only stupid?
seems i need to take a look into that addon again

[Matt]

I have the add-on working fine on 2.2.5 also No changes made to it either.

There's no text area next to the Go button in the Add Folder place in mine.... Why is this?

[CeleronXL]

Ah ha, fixed that problem. Ok, but now it just displays folder names, and not the number of posts in it. It just displays "Inbox" and not "Inbox (xx)"
