how to show maximum number of pm a group has to group members

[Joker™]

i've placed restriction on each group regarding the maximum number of private messages they can have , but how will they come to know this limit.


I want to know is there any method by which they can come to know how many messages they have used , how many are left to them constantly in there message box ?

Announcement?

"We limit new registered members below 50 from using PM.
This helps to eliminate spammers from taking advantage"

i want some strong system , as people are casual and they won't even count there pm left .

Found this in PersonalMessage.template.php

is it of any concern ?

Code Select Expand


// Show the capacity bar, if available.
if (!empty($context['limit_bar']))
{
echo '
<div class="title_bar">
<h3 class="titlebg">
<span class="floatleft">', $txt['pm_capacity'], ':</span>
<span class="floatleft capacity_bar">
<span class="', $context['limit_bar']['percent'] > 85 ? 'full' : ($context['limit_bar']['percent'] > 40 ? 'filled' : 'empty'), '" style="width: ', $context['limit_bar']['percent'] / 10, 'em;"></span>
</span>
<span class="align_right', $context['limit_bar']['percent'] > 90 ? ' alert' : '', '">', $context['limit_bar']['text'], '</span>
</h3>
</div>';
}

That lets them know when they are getting close to their limit.

simply change the 95 to a 0 should suffice (not tried it though)

0 Means unlimited PM's. Put anything except 0 and it should work. If you want it to show as 0, clear everyone's PM's from the database and it will show up as 0%.
