Topic: Force Users to Read Unread Pm(s)

[Doug Heffernan]

Link to Mod

This mod will force users who have a certain number of unread pms to read them before they can view the topics at your forum. Groups can be excluded from this restriction. The error message can also be modified by editing the appropriate language string.

I do not know if it is correct in certain cases, however, it is a good modification that I can see. Also I was looking at the code I leave the translation to Latin Spanish.

Code: [Select]

<file name="$languagedir/Help.spanish_latin.php" error="skip">
<operation>
<search position="end" />
<add><![CDATA[$helptxt['force_unread_pms_enabled'] = 'Esta configuraci&oacute;n activa y desactiva el mod.';
$helptxt['unread_nr'] = 'Este campo de configuraci&oacute;n contiene el n&uacute;mero de MPs (Mensajes Personales) no le&iacute;dos que desea forzar a sus usuarios a leerlos antes de que puedan navegar por los temas en su foro.';
$helptxt['unread_nr_excluded_groups'] = 'Ingrese la(s) identificaci&oacute;n(es) del(los) grupo(s) que desea excluir de la restricci&oacute;n de MPs de lectura forzada no le&iacute;da. Para excluir m&aacute;s de un grupo, separe los identificadores con una coma. Por Ejem. 1,2,3,4';]]></add>
</operation>
</file>

A useful purpose for this would be to implement this on a forum with PMs disabled for everyone but moderators. PMs could then be used to warn users for posts that violate the forum's terms of service, not allowing them to continue to use the board until they read the warnings.

They can always just click and not read them... the same way you usually click "I Agree" on any license agreement. Don't know if anybody's read one entirely, LOL .

The mod somehow doesn't work.

if someone logs into the forum, he did not get a message window, only that a message is displayed in the form of a 1 message in the link bar

[larry007]

Nobody had the same problem?

[Steve]

Is this just one person or everyone?

[larry007]

I've only tried it out once myself with a second user account.
When I log into the forum I don't get a popup window like the mod describes it

[Steve]

What about alternate browsers? Same problem?

[larry007]

No work with

Firefox 85
MS Edge

[Steve]

Do you have the mod enabled? Do you have a specific number of PMs entered in the settings? Do you have any excluded groups in those settings?

[larry007]

yes, everything was done and no group was excluded

[Steve]

I'm afraid the mod author is going to have to take it from here.

Hello Doug Heffernan

have you stopped your support for the mod? No answer from you?
