What is it?
----------------------------
This mod arranges quotes in a PM to be in a "conversational" order instead of being nested. This solves the problem of displaying deeply-nested quotes. This mod also has an option to add a date/time stamp to quoted PMs.
Also, I'm not much of an html/css person - this mod mostly provides variables which can be checked in the template, and a bare-bones css file. If anyone comes up with css for a better looking format and wants to share it, please do (and maybe I'll put it in a later version).
(vb4 version is here: Private Message Quote Formatting)
Installation:
----------------------------
Just import the product XML file from the Product Manager. This doesn't change stored PMs in any way (unless you enable the date/time stamp option - see below), so you can uninstall or disable the product at any time to go back to the original PM template.
If you'd like to customize the format, you can edit the kh99_pm_quote, kh99_pm_quote_bit, and/or the kh99_pm_quote.css templates.
If you want to add date/time tags to PM quotes, go to the adminCP options under "Private Messaging Options" and set "Add Date and Time to Quotes" to yes. Note that if you later uninstall this mod, any messages quoted while this option was on will still contain a date/time tag, but it will display after the name in a default format and timezone. If this is a concern, it's probably better that you don't enable this option.
Also note that the date/time option only adds the timestamp to newly quoted messages - it will not add one to quotes in existing messages.
Note: Because I forgot to set a product id for version 0.90, when upgrading from 0.90 to a later version the mod installs as a separate product so that it looks like this mod is installed twice. If that happens you should just be able to uninstall version 0.9.
