Show Newest PM If Unread On Forum Home

[Zero Tolerance]

This is a port of: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=77250

Exact same functionality/style, will automatically make the template edit for you using the plugins system (a bit hackish but it worked :p)

Plugins Added: 3

Enjoy,

Nice Hack... I'd use this if It was my forum that my email is attached to!

[Chris M]

Hate to burst your bubble but it doesn't work - No "forumhome_pmshow" template was created...

A good idea to eliminate a query or two would be to do the following file modifaction. It basically caches the forumhome_pmshow template eliminating 2 queries if I remember it right.

Open index.php

Find:


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



Add After:


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



Enjoy!

Nice plugin btw :)

IIRC, you can also plug in some code into fetch_userinfo to cache it.

what like,

I assume this is wrong and would mess something up, but is that the general idea?

[eXtremeTim]

This hack already has the code for the template catch.

[Zero Tolerance]

eXtemeTim is correct, this adds in the code to cache the template, globally however, but i doubt it would make any resource difference at all since the template is rather small.

[fraghappy]

I only have one suggestion: add a "Reply to PM" link down at the bottom with the other stuff. ;)

[Azhrialilu]

I loved this on 3.0.7 and now I can continue to love it on 3.5 *smiles happily*

[burnist]

been trying this on beta 4 its generating an error in the admin cp on all pages

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in *****\****\****\*****\includes\functions.php(1030) : eval()'d code on line 3

It would appear that this if from the use of the fetch_userinfo hook, but I could be wrong.

please fix it, I liked this plugin ;)

[Gizmo5h1t3]

guys, on the original install, not modified, im getting the same "invalid file specifiewd" message.
can u help at all?
im creeating the template exactly as the info file dictates.

Great hack, I'm having one problem though, Its showing the PM Duplicated on the forumhome. I just want it to show once hehe. I made the template as well as ran the plugin, is that where i went wrong?

[Neutral Singh]

when i checkup with my installed plugins list, i find out that there are not many of yours, that i have failed to install on my forums. TY!!

[evesve]

This is a great hack!

If there would be a link to "Delete this PM", than it would be great-great-great!!!

[Protoman]

doesn't work with gold.

[hIBEES]

/me installed

Works a treat..Thanks,users were complaining of missing pm's...NO MORE lol

[Peace_Hope]

Thanks, Great work.

[michaelbenson]

Anyway in which we could strip BBCode formatting from the PM preview?
Or actually enabling it?

[Xplorer4x4]

doesn't work with gold.

It works but I seem to have trouble with the old grey pop up box showing up.

This may be cause in conjuction with PM PReview hack, but either way I have had porblems with this since going Gold.

Just an FYI for later Zero.

[Protoman]

yup, I finally got this mod working. there is an error in the template cache plugin.

there should be an is_array() check otherwise it causes errors in the admin panel

As in a parse error or a DB Error? If so can you tell me what to fix?

[Loco.M]

/me clicks install

this shows two sets of the same pm ? any thoughts ?

i have a few things installed on my index
http://locoforum.com/forums/index.php?

im guessing this is the reason ?
any idea how to fix this

[Iceburg22]

thanks

[Allan]

Thanks you very much ;)

Click Install

[hraweb.com]

i installed this on 3.53 and i now have big problems

when i read pm i get this on top of my banner

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/functions.php(1064) : eval()'d code on line 3

and i can not even go to adminpanel to uninstal this stupid hack becouse all i get is this when i click on admincp

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/functions.php(1064) : eval()'d code on line 3

how can i fix this?

edit manualy with phpmyadmin , what to edit, how to uninstall this

[Protoman]

I only had issues with the admincp, everything else worked already. I'd say you are having a conflict with another hack if you get other errors

[hraweb.com]

only thing other that is installed is who visited the board today and pm preview

how can i uninstall this manualy?

[Christie189]

Umm, I need HELP, ASAP!

I cannot get into my admin panel after installing this hack. When I try and go to the link, this is what it says:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/functions.php(1097) : eval()'d code on line 9

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /includes/functions.php(1097) : eval()'d code on line 12

HOW DO I FIX IT???? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

[Christie189]

[Nexus Beat]

Having the same problem as a few other guys here, not being able to get into the ACP etc. Anyone enlighten me on how to disable the hack manually somehow?

Thanks.

[The Realist]

Admincp> Plugin System>
If a product...

Plugin System...
In the dropdown choose disable.

If its a Plugin....
In Plugin Manager
Click edit next to the plugin
Where it says "Plugin is Active" tick NO.

Brilliant ide m8, dont know why i aint seen this sooner :)

Note to self "look harder for great hacks"

[bairy]

I've added a delete button to mine.

In the forumhome_pmshow template, find (near the bottom):


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



Replace with


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



You can change the deletion and button text as you wish.


Also, I've customised the "Show This PM" link to show only if the PM exceeds 400 characters (which is the plugin's default crop).
To do this:

1. Edit the plugin named "New PM On Forum Home (If Unread) [Main]"
Find:


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


Add under:


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



2. In template forumhome_pmshow,
Find


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


and stick <if condition="$show['pmcropped']"> in front and </if> afterwards, so it looks like this:


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

[TygerTyger]

Is it possible to include the pm senddate data on forumhome as well? Seems funny to miss it out when the PM arrived, everything else is included.

[Protoman]

ok the fix for the admincp functions.php error is as follows

change the fetch_userinfo plugin to the following:


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

I've never had a problem with it since.
