PM Status hack (pm folders on forumhome)

First of all, this is a modified version of the PM Gauge hack by Bald_Bouncer. Although i didn't use much of his code i suppose he deserve some credit
I tested this on 2.2.9 but it should work on earlier versions as well.
If you install this remember to click Install

What does this hack do?
This hack displays how many percent of your pm quota you use as well as displaying a "PM Status" which starts as Low , then changes to Normal then Critical and finally it changes to full when you're pm quota reaches its limit.
when the status goes "critical" the pm bar starts to blink

Version 1.1
Right under the pm status you'll find links to all your pm folders. Users wont forget to delete the pms in their "sent items" folder anymore, for sure.

Version 1.2
same as v1.1 but with fewer queries

v1 screenshots
v1.1 screenshot


I know this isn't much of a hack, but my members seem to like it anyway.. this is also my first hack. I guess it's a start, right?

UPGRADING:
v1.1: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...&postid=345294
v1.2: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...&postid=390598

2 things I'd like to point out.

When I empty everything out of my folders, it says my folders are 1% full. How can they be 1% full when there's nothing in them?

Also, when everything is empty is says, "Your PM folders:" and then nothing. Could you make it when all folders are empty that line disappears as well? Or maybe after that it says All Folders Empty or something.

May just put a zero after it when they are empty. Or does it, I havent installed it yet but I will. Very nice hack

No it doesn't. They disappear. That's why I'm posting... lol

hmm.. i'll have to check on that

EDIT: It says 0% on my testboard.. I might have edited it and forgot to upload.. I'll try to sort it out..

EDIT2: done... it says 0% now and when you have 0 pms the line saying "Your PM folders:" disappears.. You can either re-install the entire hack or follow the instruction bellow:

In index.php find:

if ($pmpercent < 50) {$pmstatus = "<font color=lime>Low</font>";}

Add above:

if ($pmpercent != "0") {$pmfolderlinks = "<br>Your folders:";} else {$pmfolderlinks = "";}

In index.php find:

if ($allpm[messages] < 1) {
$pmpercent = "1";
}

Replace with:

if ($allpm[messages] < 1) {
$pmpercent = "0";
}

In forumhome_pmloggedin find:

Your Inbox is $pmpercent% full - Current PM status: <b>$pmstatus</b><br>Your PM folders: $pmfolderlink

Replace with:

Your Inbox is $pmpercent% full - Current PM status: <b>$pmstatus</b>$pmfolderlinks $pmfolderlink

Done

Wow this hack adds FOUR queries to the front index? Ouch.

I'd really love to use it, but that might be a bit much...?

Use v1.. It's only adding one query.
That's exactly what I thought about v1.1
