Moderators have more PM space hack

[Cloud Strife]

I would have thought that this hack would have already been here, but I searched for ages and not found a thing...

Currently users only have 20 PM messages space, as admin, mine is automatically unlimited, but I want Supermods and Mods to have a pm space of 100 PMs... They currently only have 20...

Thanks

Ummm... what's the point? Just give all your users 100...

Vincent]I'm not 100% sure this will work but try this.
Open vb/private.php and find:

PHP Code:

  if ($pmquota>0 and $touserinfo[usergroupid] != 6 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6) {
    $msgcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$touserinfo[userid]");

    if ($msgcount[messages]>=$pmquota) {
      // mailbox full. email user and display error

      eval("\$emailmsg = \"".gettemplate("email_pmboxfull",1,0)."\";");
      eval("\$emailsubject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmfullbox",1,0)."\";");
      mail($touserinfo[email],$emailsubject,$emailmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmfullmailbox")."\");");
      exit;
    }
  } 


Replace that with:

PHP Code:

 if ($pmquota>0 and $touserinfo[usergroupid] <= 4 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] <= 4) {
    $msgcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$touserinfo[userid]");

    if ($msgcount[messages]>=$pmquota) {
      // mailbox full. email user and display error

      eval("\$emailmsg = \"".gettemplate("email_pmboxfull",1,0)."\";");
      eval("\$emailsubject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmfullbox",1,0)."\";");
      mail($touserinfo[email],$emailsubject,$emailmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmfullmailbox")."\");");
      exit;
    }
  } elseif ($pmquota>0 and ($touserinfo[usergroupid]  == 5 or $touserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5 and $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7)) {
    $msgcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$touserinfo[userid]");

    if ($msgcount[messages]>=100) {
      // mailbox full. email user and display error

      eval("\$emailmsg = \"".gettemplate("email_pmboxfull",1,0)."\";");
      eval("\$emailsubject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmfullbox",1,0)."\";");
      mail($touserinfo[email],$emailsubject,$emailmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmfullmailbox")."\");");
      exit;
    }
  } 


This might not work though.

[[D]Vincent]

Vincent]Also you might want to do this, just noticed private2.php

Anyways open vb/private2.php
Find:

PHP Code:

      // check pm quotas
      if (($pmquota > 0) && ($touserinfo[usergroupid] != 6) && ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6)) {
        if ($touserinfo[messagecount] >= $pmquota) {
          // no further private messages allowed
          eval("\$email_message = \"".gettemplate("email_pmboxfull",1,0)."\";");
          eval("\$email_subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmfullbox",1,0)."\";");
          mail($touserinfo[email],$email_subject,$email_message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");
          $errormessages .= "<li>$touserinfo[username] <smallfont>($touserinfo[messagecount] messages in folder)</smallfont></li>";
          // go straight to the next recipient in the list
          continue;
        }
      } // end check quotas 


Replace that with:

PHP Code:

      // check pm quotas
      if (($pmquota > 0) && ($touserinfo[usergroupid] <= 4) && ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] <= 4)) {
        if ($touserinfo[messagecount] >= $pmquota) {
          // no further private messages allowed
          eval("\$email_message = \"".gettemplate("email_pmboxfull",1,0)."\";");
          eval("\$email_subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmfullbox",1,0)."\";");
          mail($touserinfo[email],$email_subject,$email_message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");
          $errormessages .= "<li>$touserinfo[username] <smallfont>($touserinfo[messagecount] messages in folder)</smallfont></li>";
          // go straight to the next recipient in the list
          continue;
        }
      } elseif (($pmquota > 0) && ($touserinfo[usergroupid] == 5) or ($touserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) && ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7)) {
        if ($touserinfo[messagecount] >= 100) {
          // no further private messages allowed
          eval("\$email_message = \"".gettemplate("email_pmboxfull",1,0)."\";");
          eval("\$email_subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmfullbox",1,0)."\";");
          mail($touserinfo[email],$email_subject,$email_message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");
          $errormessages .= "<li>$touserinfo[username] <smallfont>($touserinfo[messagecount] messages in folder)</smallfont></li>";
          // go straight to the next recipient in the list
          continue;
        }
      } // end check quotas 


Next find:

PHP Code:

    // if to-user's PM quota is exceded by sending these messages...
    if (($pmquota > 0) && (($touserinfo[messages] + $nummessages) > $pmquota) && ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6) && ($touserinfo[usergroupid] != 6)) {
        eval("\$email_message = \"".gettemplate("email_pmboxfull",1,0)."\";");
        eval("\$email_subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmfullbox",1,0)."\";");
        mail($touserinfo[email],$email_subject,$email_message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmfullmailbox")."\");");
        exit;
    } 


And replace that with:

PHP Code:

    // if to-user's PM quota is exceded by sending these messages...
    if (($pmquota > 0) && (($touserinfo[messages] + $nummessages) > $pmquota) && ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] <= 4) && ($touserinfo[usergroupid] <= 4)) {
        eval("\$email_message = \"".gettemplate("email_pmboxfull",1,0)."\";");
        eval("\$email_subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmfullbox",1,0)."\";");
        mail($touserinfo[email],$email_subject,$email_message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmfullmailbox")."\");");
        exit;
    } elseif (($pmquota > 0) && (($touserinfo[messages] + $nummessages) > 100) && (($touserinfo[usergroupid] == 5)  or ($touserinfo[usergroupid] == 7)) && (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7))){
        eval("\$email_message = \"".gettemplate("email_pmboxfull",1,0)."\";");
        eval("\$email_subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmfullbox",1,0)."\";");
        mail($touserinfo[email],$email_subject,$email_message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmfullmailbox")."\");");
        exit;
    } 


Remember this may not work.

[Cloud Strife]

I tried the first one and it didnt work, then I was about to tell you and saw this message, but it still doesnt work???

[[D]Vincent]

Try it once more because I edited the first one.

[Cloud Strife]

It works, but it seems that the mods and super mods have unlimited PM space rather than 100...

Is there anyway to fix that???

Thanks alot.. I appreciate your help

[[D]Vincent]

Hmmmm... give me a day or two and I'll come up with something.

[Cloud Strife]

Thanks alot!
I really appreciate your help here!
