    When the dialogue starts, Email notifications will be sent, even for my own sent mails. So I get an Email that I've received my own PM

    Thank you, how to change this:
    All Users are shown with realnames, no usernames should be visible (needed for my forum)

    Back to just usernames instead of realnames?

    i think i worked out why i get an email when i send a PM.

    if you write a PM, then reply to it (for example, to add another comment that you forgot), before the recipient of the PM has a chance to reply, then you get an email each time you send OR receive a message.

    is this correct?
    maybe it will bring us a step closer to working out the bug...

    the most important problems with this extension are; there is no limitations and there is no delete priv msgs feature.

    You have several & which should ideally be "& a m p ;" (spaces added to prevent it being rendered as "&") in your default.php file:

    Line 699: $Panel->AddListItem($Title, $Context->GetDefinition('SentMail'), GetUrl($Configuration, 'extension.php', '', '', '', '', 'PostBackAction=PrivateMessages&View=SentMail'));

    Line 707: $Panel->AddListItem($AccountOptions, $Context->GetDefinition('SendPrivateMessage'), GetUrl($Context->Configuration, 'extension.php', '', '', '', '', 'PostBackAction=PrivateMessages&View=SendMessage&SendTo='.urlencode($AccountUser->Name)), '', '', 1);

    Line 709: $Panel->AddString('<h1><a href="'.GetUrl($Configuration, 'extension.php', '', '', '', '', 'PostBackAction=PrivateMessages&View=SendMessage').'">'.$Context->GetDefinition('SendPrivateMessage').'</a></h1>');

    Hey everybody,

    I managed to get the Inbox counter working after some SERIOUS trial and error, as you'll see if you decide to download this. I haven't integrated any of the other changes people (bschultz) have made, so I suppose this will be a test to see if
    a) my code works for anyone else and,
    b) assuming (a), whether bschultz or anyone else is interested in taking the bits I wrote and adding them to the other mods to this extension.

    So, here it is! It's gzipped, but any decent archive program (WinRAR) should be able to open it. If you're interested in how I did it, email me (or look at the code). You'll need to change the value of $PrivateMessageCategoryID in the first line of the function GetNewMessagesCount to whatever it is on your system.

    Also, there are some small edits to make the message count text bold if the logged-in user has a message. Hope it works for someone else! My users were happy.

    as of this morning, the plugin started giving me this:


    A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred
    Technical information (for support personel):

    Error Message
    An error occurred while retrieving discussions.
    Affected Elements
    PrivateMessages.GetDiscussionList();

    The error occurred on or near: Can't find file: './circuit_candrlistings/LUM_Comment.frm' (errno: 13)

    For additional support documentation, visit the Lussumo Documentation website at: lussumo.com/docs


    no changes to anything overnight. looks like a database error. i disabled and re-enabled the janine extension and the error went away, but i'm not sure if the two were related.

    It would help me with posting information to discussions.

    Your mod works fine except this:
    All Users are shown with realnames (needed for my forum)

    I'm sorry to bug you but how to change it so it doesn't show users realnames, just user name?

    @sjeeps.

    i haven't got the zip file with my modifications any more.
    i can provide you with some help if you upload it once again...

    i would just search after lines with "LastName" and comment them out (or delete).
    like:
    $s->AddSelect("FirstName", 'a', 'AuthRealname', 'CONCAT', "' ',a.LastName");

    and then checking differences in the message_view.php etc files like
    changing my: $Row['AuthRealname']
    back to: $Comment->AuthUsername

    regards, J

    Did you create the "LUM_UserDiscussionHide" table using the sql.sql I've included and mentioned to you above?
    The error message you're getting tells you that you have not create the "LUM_UserDiscussionHide" table yet.
    Simply insert this table into your forum database:

    CREATE TABLE `LUM_UserDiscussionHide` (
    `UserID` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
    `DiscussionID` int(8) NOT NULL default '0',
    PRIMARY KEY (`UserID`,`DiscussionID`)

    something else:
    in the user profile, the send message link has changed from this

    /extension.php?PostBackAction=PrivateMessages&View=SendMessage&SendTo={username}

    to

    /extension.php?PostBackAction=PrivateMessages&View=SendMessage

    which is obviously not as useful

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I've modified that add-on to better suit my needs. So I've moved the "Send Private Message" from the "Accounts Options" which didn't make sense to me to under "Private Messages".
    My apology and try to download this version and see if it's any good.

    sorry, i think you misunderstand me.

    i meant the link in the sidebar of the account profile page. it used to send a PM to that user. now the link doesn't feature the username, so you have to type it in yourself, which is obviously less convenient.

    i can change this in the file myself, but it would be nice to have it included in the code so i don't have to do it when i upgrade.



    i am still getting the error described above, by the way: Private Messages 1.1 # 131... although delete DOES seem to work anyway...

    I'm not sure why you're getting that error, the only thing I can tell you is to disable it and delete the "LUM_UserDiscussionHide" table then create it again and enable the add-on. Also, try to change the permission to 777.

    Any update from jazzman on this yet?

    Functionality requested from my users includes:
    1) Ability to delete PMs from the Inbox page
    2) Integration with WYSIWYG editor (I tried the hack mentioned earlier in this thread to FCKeditor's default.php and it simply returned an error)
    3) A pop-up window (or some other means) notification that a new PM exists when a user logs into the forum, as well as proper functioning of "notify via email" which is still flaky at best
    4) Proper sorting of messages in the inbox/sent items, or simply eliminate the "sent items" link since it is non-functional

    Everyone loves the extension otherwise, just needs a few final touches. Thank you and I look forward to version 1.2 (or 2.0?)

    dyohn...

    - you can delete PMs from the inbox page, although a checkbox may be useful as i have 130 to plough through!
    - the sent items link could probably be easily removed, i will have to have a look into it.

    i agree that better notification is still needed. an easy way to do this would be to change the styling of the <li>, so as well as saying "1 new message", it also highlighted it in a different colour. i will look into this later.
