Show Unread Private Messages

[Arantor]

This would require adding new fields to the DB, which I'm not really planning to do as I'm actually trying to give this mod away...

[Cal O'Shaw]

Ah, well, nevermind

It's just there is a similar MOD by .LORD. (PM Readed @ http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1629 ) that uses permissions, but his only shows a general read/unread flag in the senders PM outbox list.

I'm hoping that whoever takes it off me will consider adding such features though.

I remember this was once compatible for SMF 1. Would I still be able to download it?

[Arantor]

No idea why I'm feeling so nice but here's the previous version (I wrote 1.0 and 1.1, 1.2 was after I gave it away)

But anyway, here's version 1.1 which had 1.1.x support.

thanks Pete

[Arantor]

It's all good, Bryan I still have most of the archives of my old mods, at least up until the point I gave them away... just a matter of finding them for the most part.

Really happy now.

Quick question, would it be possible for individual members to opt out from this?

[Arantor]

Not without a total and complete redesign of the PM system.

[Biology Forums]

Okay, thanks.

[Deaks]

you sure Arantor? I can think of a way but would mean double the code :/

[Arantor]

Yup, because this stuff is already generated and figured out by SMF anyway... all the mod actually does is *display* that fact.

Having some kind of opt-out means you'd have to track that fact and rewrite a ton of logic behind it.

I know this is an old thread and most likely whoever grabbed it from Arantor is no longer updating it (Maybe Bryan) but

I just now installed it, did a test pm to my tester account and I still get the normal page in pm area. No page that lists the pms not read, nothing even remotely looking different from before..I don't even know if the unreads can be deleted from the list...LOL

So do it no longer work with 2.11 I had no problems or disagreement from package manager to install it.

[Arantor]

You will get the normal page, that's exactly what the screenshots show you should get.

The difference between read and unread is whether the recipient's name is in bold or not, as per screenshots.

[DarkAngel612]

OK, I gotcha...I was looking for that second image in the download page...I thought we would get an area above the pm section to show if the pm was read or not, not just a bold name when we pm them again.

Maybe another mod will get made--since I think you are not doing this one anymore--to include that little tidbit. Sometimes a person needs to know if the pm got read quicker than waiting to pm them again.

Good mod though -- same as always, thanks for the concept.

[Arantor]

Did you go to sent items? What view do you have on pms? (All at once, one at a time, conversation view)

[DarkAngel612]

I clicked every link in the section and yes it is set to all at once.

[Arantor]

Fairly sure that screenshot was from "one at a time" mode.

[DarkAngel612]

just tried all three modes and it did not show up but then right now that was only a test so no worries. Thanks anyway.

[DarkAngel612]

I figured it out!!!! Lo and behold miracles do happen...LOL

One must choose to save a copy in the account, then we see the list and the "bolded" name of the unread pm. Saving a pm is something I don't always do unless it concerns their prize or other account stuff. I still have it to show all at once.

Thanks again for the patience with this old woman.
