Admins can view user's PM's

After some requests and a debate in the requests forum I've finally finished the majority of this hack. It allows the admin to find a user via the current method in the control panel then click view user's pm's. They are then shown all the pm's in the users folders.

Includes admin logging and is designed to use the cp.css file which is already used by the control panel. I considered adding a search feature but it would be hard without indexing all of the pm's the way vBulletin already does. This means it would be a very limited search.
You can also now select which admins can view user pm's this is done the same way that restriction to the adminlogging is done, the variable is at the top of pm.php

This hack involves uploading pm.php to the admin directory then following the instructions which requires you adding the two links within /admin/user.php

Updated 25th November 2001 @ 22:39

Update was to fix broken smilies by disabling them and to show pm's in all folders not just the inbox. To update simply upload pm.php to your admin folder again.

just to check...

if my userid is 2 and i only want userid 2 to be able to read those pm's do i do this way in pm.php?

adminlog(iif($userid!=2," user id = $userid",iif($pmid!=2,"private message id = $pmid","")));

or

adminlog(iif($userid!=2," user id = $userid",iif($pmid!=0,"private message id = $pmid","")));

or both wrong?

bothe wrong keep it like this

PHP Code:

adminlog(iif($userid!=0," user id = $userid",iif($pmid!=0,"private message id = $pmid",""))); 


you need to change this line

PHP Code:

// which users are allowed to view user's pm's
// separate each userid with a comma
$canviewpms = ""; 


$canviewpms = "";

well i just checked and double checked and triple checked and still, "Viewing User PM's is restricted."

Yes ive added my username (correctly) at $canviewpms = "userid";

I am running vB 2.3.0

whenever i try to click "view users PM's" it says "user blahblah has no PM's"

Even though the PM stats say otherwise =/
