Title: PM Folders

Tested on ubb: 6.4.0.1/6.5.0

Description: Organizes PM's into Folders/Custom Folders.

Download: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00006378/PMFolders6.4.zip

Special Thanks: BassTeQ

Demo: (*currently down*)

NOTE: The demo pictures don't work, because of unset permissions, just ignore them. wink

Bug fixes since last version:
  • 1.0 - Inital release for 6.3

Wow, very nice, does this include the mailbox quota and other things I see in your PM system, or are those separate hacks?

yow, that looks great!!!

In fact for my board I'd like to not have the "Compose PM" by User Name, because sometimes people use numbers or characters that others don't understand, so I would keep only the "by User Number" only, if that's possible.

Also, the Member Ratings when from the board is off, does it disappear in this too?

Thanks! laugh

To remove the User Number search, look into public_pm_folders_summary.pl and public_pm_folders_review.pl and remove the following code:[code][/code]When member ratings is off, it will disappear from this. smile

Wow, Brett, this looks very sweet!

I'm going to start working on my upgrade again; this will be one of the mods I'll try out.

Hey brett, I think that your last two:

Code
[/code]Need to be:
[code]
A raw install of this script on my sites black/blue design looed odd due to our text colour being white and the default background colour of your script being white also lol... Looks nice though...

Brett, its looking for icon.gif in my noncgi/icon's folder, which doesn't exist. Also (final one i swear), when a user removes a pm it isn't placing it in the trash.

Your right about the template bgcolors ($vars_style{TableStripTextColor}). I have updated the zip with the changes. You only need to reupload the templates. smile

Your icon problem, shouldn't happen. Pretty much impossible. It looks directly where it should. But for the sake of it, i clutched it, to see that if $icon doesn't exist, reset it to icon1.gif.

If your referencing to a user pm deleteing it from the sent box, then that's the way it's supposed to be. For now, sent msgs can't be taken into any other folder. Now if your referring to any other folder, then we've got a problem... frown


Thanks to all the feedback so far! laugh

Hey brett, think about having a small control panel addition so one can customise colours a little eariser? Well, the colours that would be interesting to play with (you know I have):

Background Colour
Border Colour
Quota Bar Colour
Quota "Widget" Colour

I'm sure there is others :x... Wouldn't really need to have a cpannel section per say, possibly just have it defined in the wordlet files or style settings...

Brett, the hack works like a charm, but I'd beg you to include something in your To Do list smile
My members are asking me about having a link from ultimatebb.cgi (maybe under the "Welcome Member [log out]" words. (or making the link in the words "Inbox of PM: You have # new messages" that are in the PM Mailbox)

P.S. I ask you this since PM Notification hack doesn't work frown

The PM Notification works, it just has a flaw. I downloaded the 6.2 version and got it to work. here's the Doc i made. I take no credit, whatsoever, for this mod.

Luckily, ubb 6.5 will have this integrated...

Brett:

A couple of weeks ago, I posted here asking if it was possible to make the PM Notification flash (in any color) when someone has a private message waiting for them. Some kind person responded by emailing me a tiny file titled blinker.js. But they did not tell me what to do with it or how to incorporate it to invoke it. Can you help me with this?

TIA confused

I don't know what's in blinker.js, but i can give you this, which doesn't require blinker.js.

http://www.ivegeta.com/flash.txt (go to view -> source)

And then replace the color 'gold' with one of your choice.

It Works! THANK YOU!!! Is there a way to make it to continue blinking until the member clicks the PM link? Right now, I notice that it will blink approx 7 times, then stop.

Works great (thank you Brett smile )

except.... one tiny html error , most of you won't even be able to tell; it only shows up in mozilla/netscape and probably also has a lot to do with the way I have my tables set up in the headers and footers... it messes them up btw

I have tracked it down to the below section of html (shortly after the list of users) :
[code][/code]The last line should not be there, should be on there just twice... I couldn't track down where it was generating this, maybe one of you guru's could help out.

could perhaps be an extra tag somewhere else... but I don't think so

Brett, I noticed something too, when you get a new PM message, and you open the page with the PM messages list, it has the unread message in bold, but after replying, and then getting back the answer of that pm, in the page says you have a new message, when you get in PM list, you can't see which is the unread message because it is not in bold. Can this be fixed?

I'm also using I.E. v6.0 & another member who is using I.E. v6.0 said he gets approx 5-7 blinks, then it stops. He also went on to say that when it was blinking, he had no PM's in the inbox.

Found another error

When I create a folder, then rename it and try to delete it, I get "The PM Folder you tried to delete did not appear in the file."

Mirek

edit: ok.. it's only doing that with the first folder I made..., if I make another and rename it, it deletes fine

Thanks for HTML fix there, Mirek! And your right about the Renaming/Deleting folder thing.

I was also able to recreate Saxeus's problem.

I undated the zip file with the fix. The files to reupload are public_pm_folders_summary.pl and ubb_folders.cgi. smile

Hi Brett,

I reinstalled the updated files, and after that I also installed the PM Email hack you did, (I admit I'm being impressed by your hacks) but when I got in my board, I noticed that all the message I've had in my Inbox, (which are already read) were now all bold. I opened one and got back to the list, it was still bold.

It was easier for board members to realize which PM was unread and which was read, because of its "bold" or "not bold" subject. Any way to fix it?

P.S. I tested the PM Email hack also, but it didn't send the email, nor even give an error that it couldn't send, though I am able to receive email message when I get a PM from a member.

D10: Hehe, sorry about that. I'm preparing to add a cp addon to that, and forgot to take it out of the docs. wink

Saxeus: I just updated the zip, try reuploading the ubb_folders.cgi, i got the same thing and was able to fix mine. Also, did the PM Email hack tell you it was sending the emails?

there are 2-4 places that specify how many replies to a pm and how many pm's can be stored. If you are making a cp_addon, is it possible to include these 2 settings as modifiable?

yet another good idea Allen

Just had one myself... working PM notification into the content islands... I don't guess that would really belong with this hack though.

I like this mod just 1 thing I think that should be improved: when I try to compose a new pm with the user name field I cant put the displayed name in it. Only the login name works. Since a lot of people on my board have a different login name than the displayed name it doesnt really work!

And a question: why is there an empty link? When I delete a pm it automatticly empties the trash folder so I think the empty function is for nothing
