Hey all,

This is a quick little mod I made that makes personal messages much easier. Rather than going to a user's profile to send a PM or clicking send PM on the quicklinks of a user's name and going to the PM post page, you now can have a small dialog box that sends a PM via ajax.

This adds a new link to the bottom of all quicklinks called "Quick PM". When you click this a dialog similar to the alerts on Windows taskbar appears allowing you to fill in the subject and message of a QuickPM and then send it. When you hit send the box will close when the script has successfully send the message.

I was able to make this work across all major browsers. It was a pain, but it works.

Make sure to follow the directions in the MOD file to move the files not under cgi-bin in there so that the mod runs properly. (I wish board mod could find files outside of the directory where YaBB.pl is held).

Oh well  Check out the demonstration with the details provided in this post: http://www.boardmod.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1244567918

So follow the directions in the mod file and drop all the images in the folder into:
public_html/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default

Thanks, enjoy, and provide feedback!

Thanks deti

I thought I had fixed the issue with post count. Oh well, just a simple if statement change.

Second, good point. I did not realize it was not being saved to the sent box. However, I don't see why it shouldnt. The data you pass goes straight to the imsend2 action which is also what processes and saves to the sent box. It may just be the fact that I am using SVN files. When I first set up the board no posts would show up as it would not write to the thread text file, so maybe its a coding issue there. I'll do a reinstall with a clean CVS 2.4 instead since the SVN 2.4 is going to get torn apart as we start Y3.

Installed on my heavily modded board, and it went in with no problems, and seems to work properly.

I think once I get used to it, I might like it.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I haven't got a fix for the 0 post count yet. I have the code that should do it but for some reason it continues to allow sending the PMs. I actually took the if statement directly from InstantMessage.pl where it is used and yet it still seems to not work. I will figure it out eventually, but until then it's no big deal. Once I get that fixed I'll take a look at why the PMs aren't being saved to the outbox.

Hi,
