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.

Bump so that maybe someone can update this hack for version 2.3.0 and 2.3.2.

This hack will be useful for reference and security purposes.

This is an excellent hack. We've been using it for some time now. I am also a lawyer, and I can attest to the fact that this is perfectly legal, whether or not you notify your users that you are using this, as the Electronic Privacy Act grants certain inalienable protections to private property, such as web sites and bulletin board systems. Anyone who thinks to the contrary obviously has no understanding of current laws in the United States. The European Union's Common Policy on Privacy is, also, very protective of private property, much more so than personal privacy, which for the purposes of visiting other web sites and providing your information, is considered public domain.

Question: Is there an easy way, either through phpMyAdmin, or maybe through an add-on to this script, to search through private messages for a certain word of phrase? Our board has strict rules against promoting our competitor's products. Thanks!

All the best,
Kaelon

This is an update for vbulletin 2.3.3. I noticed that the code has changed snice then so i took the liberty to go ahead and submit this. I did not create this hack, all credit for this hack goes to Scott MacVicar from Vbulletin. I'm just updating the code for new version of vbulletin.
