[RELEASE] Private Messaging 1.2.5

Not much of a release, but should be 1.1.4 compliant.

Please discuss here: http://www.vbulletin.org/hacks/hacks...=gethack&id=36

Nice new features.

Thanks

Since your probably the person in the know. Is this the version of PM that is going to be in version 2.0 or at least is the 2.0 version going to be compatible?

I don't want to install this now and then have to try and convert the tables when 2.0 comes out.

Thanks for you help.

Very good point mr wluke (love sitepoint btw, great stuff )

Will v2.0 use the same tables, column names etc... at your poll hack (ed).

Suppose this really should have been asked before.

Database error in vBulletin: Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD canusepm TINYINT (4) DEFAULT '1' not null
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'canusepm'
mysql error number: 1060

You probably have already installed PM v1.2.0 so in your db is already column canusepm.

I think you should read upgrade-templates.txt.

I can't find the following lines to change in showthread.php:

Find:
~~~~~~
$userinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,email,username,usertitle,signature,showemai l,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,joindate,posts FROM user WHERE userid=$userid");
~~~~~~

Replace with:
~~~~~~
//PM Hack
//Original: $userinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,email,username,usertitle,signature,showemai l,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,joindate,posts FROM user WHERE userid=$userid");
//New:
$userinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,email,username,usertitle,signature,showemai l,homepage,icq,aim,yahoo,joindate,posts,receivepm FROM user WHERE userid=$userid");
if ($userinfo[receivepm]=="1") {
$pmlink = "<a href=\"private.php?action=newmessage&toid=$userinf o[userid]\"><img src=\"images/pm.gif\" border=0></a>?";
} else {
$pmlink = "";
}
//END PM Hack
~~~~~~~
(Note: make sure you change the <img src=...> to what your in-thread, PM pic is)

What did I wrong?

You're reading the upgrade instructions I believe, which you don't need to do for 1.1.4 - since it's a fresh code installation.

anyway, insert that code under:
$userinfo=$post;

i am thinking of adding in the pm hack now

do the control panel, censor function work on pm messages ?
