Credit JoshPet, he suggested the hack. I just obliged. <img src="/forum/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks...<br />But anyone can think 'em up. You guys make it happen. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

I agree with Dave, if nobody asks for it, it usually doesn't get done! <img src="/forum/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Here is an updated attachment. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Lisa, you are becoming quite the developer yourself. Nice work. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Awaiting email confirmation <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forum/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" /> If you're still waiting, I forgot something! We get the emails immediately. I was afraid of this, because it took so long for me to get it right. <img src="/forum/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Lemme look . . . .

Ok, I think I found the problem. <img src="/forum/images/icons/blush.gif" alt="" /> I forgot to add this change in delete.php:<br /><br />Find:<br /><br /> $user = $userob -> authenticate();<br /><br /><br />And change it to:<br /><br /> $user = $userob -> authenticate(U_Email);<br /><br />Updated (once again <img src="/forum/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />) instructions attached. One of these days I'll get it right on the first try. <img src="/forum/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" /><br />

You fixed it, because I just emailed all my pm's from here to myself. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Yay! <img src="/forum/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

Lisa:<br /><br />Great job on this. I only had a couple of suggestions:<br /><br />In viewmessages.tmpl, change this:<br /><br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_DELETE']}</pre><hr><br />To this:<br /><br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_SELECT']}</pre><hr><br />Then, in generic.php, add the following line:<br /><br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>$ubbt_lang['TEXT_SELECT'] = "Select";</pre><hr><br />After this:<br /><br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>$ubbt_lang['PM_EMAIL'] = "Email PM";</pre><hr><br />What this will do is to change the column header from "Delete" to "Select". I think this helps to avoid confusion since users might not figure out that they need to check the "Delete" box in order to email messages to themselves. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Changing it to "Select" still works for the "Delete Checked" button, so it shouldn't be confusing at all. <br /><br />Hope this helps...

I think you're right WrÅith, I think it will make it much clearer for users. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I updated the file and attached it as v1.0.4 . Thanks! <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi Lisa,<br /><br />you've forgot to add the "$user = $userob -> authenticate(U_Email);" - fix into the documentation of v1.04<br /><br />Btw ... seems that this hack needs to be optimized against sending html-codes included into the pm's, right?

For the most part I think that the <br /> tags need to be converted to control character breaks, \n or \r\n depending on the system I believe.<br /><br />Other steps would need to be taken to display the emailed pm with the html content in working order too. <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hmm ... after adding this hack correctly the deletion of private messages doesn't work anymore ... anyone tested this hack too?

Got it ...<br /><br />[]<br />Find ~ line 35:<br /> // -------------------------------<br /> // Make sure they own this message<br /> $Username_q = addslashes($Username);<br /><hr /></blockquote><br /><br />should be:<br /><br />[]<br />Find ~ line 39:<br />// ---------------------------------------------<br />// Track the total number of delete new messages<br /> $Total = 0;<br /><hr /></blockquote><br /><br />

I haven't done anything with it since 5.5.1, I believe... lol <img src="/forum/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

It still won't delete checked PM's when clicking the "Delete Checked" button. Did I miss something?

I figured it out (worked for me anyway). In the viewmessages.tmpl file, the "Delete Checked" button is named "option", so in the delete.php, instead of inserting:<br /><br />if ($deletecheck == "{$ubbt_lang['DELETE_CHECKED']}") <br /><br />it should be:<br />if ($option == "{$ubbt_lang['DELETE_CHECKED']}")<br /><br />

Thanks for sharing! <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I'll probably be putting this into my main site too at some point.

For 6.1 the table-prefix needs to be added.<br /><br />Change:<br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr> $query = "<br /> SELECT M_Subject, M_Sender, M_Sent, M_Number, M_Message<br /> FROM w3t_Messages<br /> WHERE M_Username = '$Username_q'<br /> $msgquery<br /> ";</pre><hr><br />to:<br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr> $query = "<br /> SELECT M_Subject, M_Sender, M_Sent, M_Number, M_Message<br /> FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Messages<br /> WHERE M_Username = '$Username_q'<br /> $msgquery<br /> ";</pre><hr>
