UPDATED : Ok everything should work now, both in private.php and private2.php. I have updated it to work with both files so if you downloaded it before please go through the file again and check you have got all of it.

What does it do?
- Displays total PM's In :
-- Inbox
-- Sent Items Folder
-- Custom Folders

Next Up...
-- Message Tracking (Display total read/unread)

See Above Thread, Post #20

Sweet!! This is a great hack, thanks :classic:

[KISS]

Very Nice Installed and worked Perfect. Thanks for the Add-on.

[Mystics]

Hi,

First: Great Addon! :)

But one bug: if you have an user on your ignore list, and get a PM from him, you can't see the PM of him but the Gauge Hack counts it to the number of total PMs.

On the start page (index.php) you don't see this PM, because the the ignored users are excluded.

To fix this you should replace (in private.php and private2.php):

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

with

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

Then change

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

to

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

Greetings,
Mystics

[John]

Nice fix - thanks :)

[Ordovicium]

Very nice, thanks to both.

[Khaybel]

Very nice, thanks to both as well :) I just added the install and it works great, here is a screen shot of your changes, ;) for the addon.

Live Demo, requires register, so reason for screenshot below.

PS: I added Mystics's bug fix as well, thanks ;)

updated: June 13th 2002
I just installed the Improved PM Folderview + Addon and Ignore Fix, on VB 2.2.6, the install went really well, no errors.

I'll try and get a new screen shot up soon, wanting to add the PM backup script as well, thank you guys for all your hard work on this.

I was thinking of putting a small txt file together, with all 3 hacks, together, with table color changes, if you guys want me to.

till then my forums are located at:

In the private.php, the first part of the code I need to add the hack code below is in there a couple of times. Do I need to replace all the code below ALL instances of it?

[FleaBag]

Installed on 2.2.6, working well. One thing though, aren't the custom folders supposed to have totals next to them? Because the instructiosn don't contain any template edits to show this. Thanks for this addon. :)

[FleaBag]

*Bump*

[FleaBag]

*Second bump...*

It'd be cool to get this working, would it not?

[PET]

sugestion :

when i create a folder. If i want to delete it...i must go to folders room. Well you can put a DELETE button...on each custom forum.

[FleaBag]

Matt are you ever coming back?! :p

[ManagerJosh]

I noticed the templates had a minor glitch, Matt in your attached file.

The above changes are just aesthetics, but at least for users who haven't figured it out yet, you realize it was a minor coding error, but easily corrected :)

[Exo]

how can i make it that there stand for example 10 from 100 messages in use?

I just installed on 2.2.8 and am having the same problem. It works great, but it won't show the number of messages in a custom folder. I've tried playing around with it a bit (even re-installed it), but can't seem to figure out what's wrong. Anyone happen to know how to fix this?

[Boofo]

That is an add-on. I think it was discussed in the same thread.

[Tigga]

Well just incase anyone else is having the problem with the custom folders total not showing, I figured out what was wrong.

Open private.php and find:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Right above that add:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Then you can look for another instance of the code above that you just added (near the bottom of the file) and remove it. Works great now. :)

[Dynamic One]

Thanks for this noce looking addon m8.

[Bison]

Installed!

Adds a very professional look to the private message folder count!

[Esdee]

Thanks PlurPlanet, I was looking for that.
Great add-on BTW. Now the hack truly is perfect :D

[jjj0923]

has anyone tacked the Message Tracking Count yet???

[T´Pau]

I did the Message Tracking.
It shows the unread/read PM

Just open both private.php and private2.php and find

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Below that add:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

And in your privfolder and privsend Templates find :


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

and replace it with

Works on my 2.2.7

[Boofo]

Work excellent of version 2.2.9, also. Thanks! :)

Is there a way of including the queries in the code above it to knock two more queries off of the page?

[PixelFx]

hey guys, just wanted to say great hack, I got it working with vbulletin v2.3.0, works great, I also added matts addon, with a few changes, to match colors, but otherwise everything installed perfectly.

Has this been accomplished? Also what about alphabetizing the folders?

i installed this in 2.3.0 and it seems to be working OK.

I'm holding off installing the mentioned code in post 26 until boofo's question is answered. I'd like to save a couple queries myself.

and as for the addition proposed in post 31, I don't understand what it's supposed to do.

[nymyth]

my custom folders are still not showing a total......and i couldnt find the other instance you were talking about....any ideas...

Peace

There isn't any, because if you look at the date when it was posted it was back in November of 2002. So think it had an extra instance of it, but now with the newer version there isn't any.

[Sam FT]

I was reading through this thread and noticed some people said that it was quite messy getting through this hack. And I am surprised that someone didn't already compile all the modifications and fixes submitted by everyone in this thread. So I decided to that it need to be done and that way it would be much easier on everyone.

Thanks to Matt for creating this hack. And also thanks to Mystics, ManagerJosh, Tigga, T´Pau, 7thgenCivic.Com, & AlexanderT for modifying and fixing to this hack.

Special thanks goes out to Kreft for creating the original Improved PM Folderview Hack.

Sorry about that Onkel.

I forgot to remove that line, several of the fixes overlapped each other and I just forgot to remove it. But I have remove the line duplicate line. Sorry everybody...

[ogden2k]

Will this be re-done for vB 3?

[Onkel_Tom]

I'm still missing a function to remove the custom Folders from the PM System. I can create new own folders but can't remove them.

Has anybody a solution for that ?

[sharjah]

Hi Tom ..

You can do that through "Folders button"
(You’ll find it underneath your messages)

This hack really should be updated to replace 13486D with { firstaltcolor } (without the spaces of course) A small thing, but it would help the noobs.

[groovesalad]

I see several of these in my private.php code:

if ($bbuserinfo[pmfolders]) {
$allfolders = split("\n", trim($bbuserinfo[pmfolders]));
$foldercount = 0;
while (list($key,$val)=each($allfolders)) {
$folder = split("\|\|\|", $val);
$foldercount++;
$highestnum = $folder[0];

$folder[folderid]=$folder[0]+1;
$folder[title]=$folder[1];


Which one am I supposed to put this under?

BELOW THAT ADD

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////hack///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

$ignoreusers="";
if (trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist'])!="") {
$ignoreusers='AND fromuserid<>'.implode(' AND fromuserid<>',explode(' ', trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist'])));
}
$msginfolder = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS foldermsgtotal FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND folderid=$folder[folderid] $ignoreusers");
$foldermsgtotal = $msginfolder[foldermsgtotal];

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////hack///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Would someone kindly help?

[Ludelover]

@Groovesalad

They look similar yes but if you read the code carefully you'll notice some differences. THere is only one section that is identical to that.

[MaDCaT75]

Good 1

[Alidar]

very nice addition, I love it!!!

[Deacon Frost]

ok, since I installed a newer version (2.3.4) it worked out fine, but now I have another prob...


when I click on "track messages" I get an error like:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/virtual/site3/fst/var/www/html/forum/private2.php on line 308

which says:

$msginfolder = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS foldermsgtotal FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND folderid=$folder[folderid]");

[Crank]
