What Does This Hack Do?
This version is a major update (a virtual re-write, there is very little original code left) of Dream's Read PMs hack v0.7. Permission for me to release this hack is shown here, and blessings are given by Dream here.
This hack will allow you as a Super Administrator to read your member's private messages.
Please, lets not get into a discussion in this support thread about the suitability of this hack and invading privacy etc, (I have seen this happen in other threads, so, I am pre-empting people before it starts). If you have a moral objection to this hack, please don't comment on it, just don't install it, it is as simple as that. This hack is here for people who want to use it, I have no opinion about it one way or the other.

Original Features by Dream:
- List PMs separated by sent/received given a username or id
- List all users with PMs
- Search PMs by exact text, all words and at least one of the words
- List the latest X PMs sent
- BBCode in PMs is now parsed correctly !!!!
- To and BCC fields when reading a single PM now display correctly
- If a PM is displayed in Latest X PMs that has been deleted by all parties (from, to, cc, bcc) and it has not yet been deleted permanently by the hourly cron job, it will display a proper error message when clicking on the link for it, instead of displaying a database error
- Any PMs that a user sent to others that included the themselves in the To or BCC now show up in Received PMs (they did not before)
- High server load when clicking List Users with PMs, especially if there are 1000s of users that have PMs (now split into categories acording to how many PMs a user has)
- Now completely phrased (uses a language file that has 75 custom phrases that take the form $rpmphrase['phrase_name']), so can be translated into other languages very easily by creating a separate phrase file for each language
- Now available in 7 languages:
- English
- Italian
- German
- Brazilian/Portuguese
- Spanish
- Turkish
- French
- Read Single PM - read a single PM by typing in pmtextid
- Minimum length for each search term, and the ability to disable it
- userids now displayed next to user (From, To and BCC)
- userids are now click-able and linked to their admincp user profile, so user can be edited (ie prune all PMs from a spammer)
- A more complete message is displayed if admin user is not super administrator, it has a link to vBulletin manual
- To column to Lastest X PMs
- To column to the recieved section of Read A User's PMs
- To and From columns to Search for PMs
- A lot of the formatting has been changed to make it look better (that is just my opinion)
- Extra links to various functions for each user
- Other things I can not think of right now
Frequently Asked Questions
Question:
How do I hide the Read PMs link?Answer:
The only way to do so, is to not upload cpnav_rpm.xml and to use a shortcut/bookmark to http://<your-forum-path-here>/admincp/read_pms.php? instead.Question:
How do I fix the following error when I upgrade to PHP 5.3.x and above?Answer:PHP Code:Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in xxxxxx
The fix is available here -Spoiler (click to open)
Quote by ChadiIn PHP 5 and above pass-by-reference is done automatically, but in PHP 4 had to be done explicitly. As of PHP 5.3 you will get the deprecated warning message appear.Upgraded php to 5.3x and now I get this in backend:
Code:Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/init.php on line 55 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/init.php on line 107 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/init.php on line 111 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/init.php on line 119 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/init.php on line 130 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/init.php on line 134 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/init.php on line 142 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/init.php on line 211 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/init.php on line 389 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/user/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 2552
What you need to do is edit read_pms.php, at line 502 find:
and change it to:PHP Code:$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
That should fix your issuePHP Code:$bbcode_parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
I am probably not going to put a fix for download yet, as most vBulletin v 3.x.x installations still reside on servers that have not been upgraded to PHP 5.3 and above yet.Close
