[RELEASE] Private Messaging (PM) Hack, v 1.2.0

It's HEREEEEE!

version 1.2.0, with so much increase functionality, including:
* Checkbox deletion/moving
* Lightbulb/last message by on index.php
* Icon for "Send Private Message" in posts
* Multiple folders for organization of PMs
* Designation of replied to messages
* Message quotas (untested, but should work fine)
* Sends email when message box is full
* Message forwarding
* Previous/Next PM when viewing
* Direct link to last message from index.php
* Receive email when PMed
* Usergroup function to turn off PMs
* Individual ability to turn off PMs
* index.php code bugfixed
* VERY simple PM stats (/private.php?action=checkstats)
* Banned IP checking
* and more...

Stats I posted elsewhere too:
* 35+ templates
* 4 new profile fields
* 3 new tables
* 1 new field to usergroup table

I was able to set up a stock 1.1.3b3 test board and the hack installed successfully. Upgrading shouldn't be a problem either, except for the template changes. I HIGHLY suggest you overwrite the templates in upgrade-template.txt and re-edit from there.

All other instructions should be located in the .zip.

Works Now

Bug #2 - The subject field states (subject is optional) .. but.. if you leave the subject blank then you are told you did not fill in all the fields.

Yeah, that's a known issue - just remove that from the template.

I'll be making an official release of 1.2.5 with some bugfixes.

How can I add PM to each forum not only the main page?

will that conincide with the vb hack site release

i seem to have killed one of the forms in the html code and can't find the <form tag i'm missing could someone post a fully functional template file here?

i'm missing the little form which lets you delete checked marked private messages or move them - my begining <form> tag got deleted by accident


thanks

Ed ; I had a user with the password of "a"

When he goes into the PM's it always asks him to login, over and over.

I checked and it appears that 'a' encrypts to '0' so that your check of

if ($bbpassword)

comes back false everytime since his password, though valid is set to '0'

I just changed his password to something a wee bit secure but just letting you know.

i need a working privatemsglist template please. i lost one of my <form> tags in mine.

is there something i missed about having the profile show the correct default settings for the pm hack? when ever anyone goes to the profile section, the pm hack defaults get set to "no" for both recieve private pms and receive emails on pm.

it shows correctly in the admin edit profile page in the control panel

i put

,receivepm,emailonpm

at the end of the query line

$userinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT parentemail,coppauser,email,password,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,biography,signature,adminemail,showemail,invisible,cookieuser,daysprune,timezoneoffset,emailnotification,receivepm,emailonpm FROM user WHERE userid=$userid");

does this look right the fix for this problem?

1. Ever think of looking at template-list.html?
2. If it doesn't work then you messed up the install - read what rangersfan said.

And yes, that should be ok.

RTFM!
