Private Messages Enhancements - New PM System

That is a New PN System.

I recommend TMS-System for installation !!

What does this Addon do??

This Addon completly changes the surface area of your PM-System. A new design!!

New features are: (or old features removed)
- No more PM-System in User-Controle-Panel.
- No automated quotes anymore and when you answer you`ll see pm history directly below your message.
(Thanks to ragtek --> Http://www.ragtek.org)
- Message-Tracking is activated by default.
- Copies of your messages will be generated by default.
- New PMs will be highlighted by a blinking icon.
- You?ll be notified in the forums when there is a new PM in your box.

I also have this Mod installed: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=196249

So I think that this might have something to do with it. Is it possible to have both.

Thanks for your efforts mate. Appreciated!!

Hi,
It seems a good system,
If I install it, then for any purpose I disabled it or uninstall it, will normal vb system works fine ?
I think PM system should be like threads with replies, if you can enhance this one.
Thanks,,

They could be conflicting. I've not used the mod you link to, so I can't tell you 100%. And as I said earlier, my test forum has been upgraded to 4.0, so I can't quickly install both of these mods to check for incompatibilities.

Have you tried disabling the Imageshack mod to see if the New PM file attachment option reappears? That'd be my first course of action.

Though it seems to me that having both would be redundant. The New PM mod stores attachments on your forum, where the Imageshack mod stores them off your forum, but they do the same thing.

If you uninstall this mod through Uninstall in AdminCP -> Plugins and Products -> Manage Products, then yes the normal vB system will work fine.

Marked as installed!

Display issue...

The mod installed quite easily using TMS, but after install I have noticed that my "send new message" shows as a button instead of a tab like it does in the screenshots for the mod.

What went wrong? Where/what/how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance!

My screenshots are from 1.4, this may have been changed in 1.5.

Personally, I think the button makes more sense than the tab. The tabs select different existing message and receipt folders, and having the "Send New Message" tab in the middle of them just seemed out of place to me.

Edit: Yeah, this looks to have been changed in 1.5. Looking at the white-ish screenshots above, there's an envelope with a pencil, and a link, where you have the button. Maybe that link is inheriting some styling from your theme, making it look like a button? (Yours looks good, though. The button makes that link stand out so your members can find it.)

James,

Thanks for the response. I hear what you are saying in regard to the button instead of the tab, but the tab just looks cleaner to me. Perhaps I can make a new button graphic and figure out how to move it to a more visually pleasing location - Still, I think the tab looks cleaner and more refined.

The button displays in different locations in different styles, so it is not as intuitive as I would like. Whereas the tab would be in the same location in each style.

If I had the template code from version 1.4 I could probably merge the two to get the look I'd like.

Um..... 1.4 is still available to download, it's in the first post of this thread.

I dont have TMS installed. I just installed this Mod (1.5) but it still looks like before, my PM area. I do have a custom theme !

It would help if i would know what template changes to do manually. But nowhere in the Readme or TXT File i see how to do that.

Please help !

UPDATE:

I could only find the mention of a "OHNE TMS.TXT" file in this thread. That File isnt included in the 1.5 Release but only in the 1.4 (GERMAN) Release. Then I did all the Template changes to the letter that are mentioned in this .TXT File.
These Templates were, like necessary for this Mod, not altered before !

After that I took a look at my PM area and it doesn't look anything like in the pictures.

Also you can see in the Footer of the Inbox (Image 1) that it says Version 1.31 of that Mod. Typo ? Wrong ZIP content ?
Whats wrong ?

Sounds to me that you mixed 1.4 and 1.5. Either way, it's up to the installing forum owner to adjust code for a custom theme. No add-on author can predict every potential theme possibility and adjust for it.

I've not played with 1.5, but I documented installing 1.4 in post 26 of this mod.
