PM Preview 3.5 Edition · **Released**: 08-23-2005

This is a 3.5 Rewrite of my old hack, now using the plugin system (woo hoo!)

install the attached plugin and then make the following modification to the pm_messagelistbit template.

find:

Code:

	<td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%">
		<div>
			<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="smallfont">$pm[senddate]</span>
			<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$pm[title]</strong><else />$pm[title]</if></a>
		</div>
		<div class="smallfont">
			<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time">$pm[sendtime]</span>
			<if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if>
		</div>
	
	</td>

replace with:

Code:

	<td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%">
		<div>
			<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time" style="font-size:9px;">$pm[senddate] @ $pm[sendtime]</span>
			<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$pm[title]</strong><else />$pm[title]</if></a> (<if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if> )
		</div>
		<div class="smallfont">
		<i>$pm[pmpreview]</i>	
		</div>
	
	</td>

Extras

To change the length of the preview
Goto the Plugin Manager and in Hook Location : private_messagelist_messagebit find PM Preview v1 click "Edit" and towards the end of it find 300 and increase/reduce the value to lengthen/shorten the preview.

ALTERNATIVE VERSION: Thanks to Erwin for the suggestion
If you would rather have the preview show in a tooltip rather than show it below the PM title then change the required code in pm_messagelistbit to:

alternative code:

Code:

	<td class="alt1Active" id="m$pm[pmid]" width="100%" title="$pm[pmpreview]">
		<div>
			<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="smallfont">$pm[senddate]</span>
			<a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showpm&amp;pmid=$pm[pmid]"><if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$pm[title]</strong><else />$pm[title]</if></a>
		</div>
		<div class="smallfont">
			<span style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="time">$pm[sendtime]</span>
			<if condition="$show['unread']"><strong>$userbit</strong><else />$userbit</if>
		</div>
	
	</td>

and that's all folks.. please remember to click the install and always tip your waitress.
