nice mod, pretty much a read receipt

Arantor

That's exactly what it is. But it's useful, especially if you happen to send something out to a lot of people with my PM to Membergroups mod...

Using those to mods together is very useful, I may grab this one
Thanks,
John

Webhost to New Webhost file transfer service, PM me - Fast transfers

Arantor

Heh, I very nearly bundled it into PM to Membergroups but figured that there was actually no need to do that; the two play nicely.

Very very nice feature and by looking at the code very simple too. Tkx.

Plus you would have created one less mod then :P

It's not as if I'm going for the top entry on the mod site stats; I'm not. It just so happens that I enjoy modding :)

Is there a mod that will do the opposite and bold new unread messages in my inbox ?

No, but that would be a small enough change to PersonalMessage.template.php. Please post in Coding Discussion if you would like support on that; it's outside the scope of this topic to do so.

A great mod :D  Would there be a way to change the colour on the name while it is unread?


Arantor

Not without rewriting its code.

I'd need more information (like the colour you want)

Daggers

Probably red, it would then clearly show that the message has not been read. I sometimes find that the bold doesnt show up very well

Arantor

It also depends a lot on the theme in your forum as to how well bold shows up.

Daggers

I always use the default SMF theme and alter the CSS, it makes it easier for mods ;)


Arantor

* Arantor is actually a naughty child, doesn't use CSS for the change.

Actually if you look at the edit it makes, it just wraps it in <b> tags, so you'd be able to change that to a <span class="unread_pm"> and pick that up in the CSS with no trouble.

Daggers

lol, I didnt even look at the mod code.. all changed now and working :D


ʟink

Hm...this is a cool mod, but I can see some users not wanting this; they may not want the other party to know whether or not they've read the message. Perhaps in a future release you could give users the option to opt-out and it would just say they've disabled the feature in their account. Thanks for creating it! :)

Or be able to set permission by group.  As an Admin, if I have written to someone about something they have done, I'd like to know if they have read it.  If they say 'no' but I can see 'yes', that's useful info to me.
