Private Messages

Is it possible for a user to choose to not be able to receive private messages even if the addon is aktivated?

Currently there is no such feature; however it would be possible to implement it at a custom level, introducing new custom field in user's profile table, and depending on its value there is needed to add extra condition to bb_plugins.php file where the code includes this add-on, so it shouldn't be executed at all if the profile's record has certain value.

When I (I'm Admin) sent a PM to one of my members, I got the message: Maximum amount of stored user's messages is reached.

I read in the option that Admin's message will go through, but do they also receive the above message?

The option $staffNoMsgLimit (if you mean this) affects only admin's Inbox itself. I.e. even if amount of messages riches the maximum, admin still will be allowed to receive new messages. This rule doesn't affect other users inboxes (and by the way... this only could mean user is not checking this folder, so it's not worth to send him anything further).

OK thanks Paul!

Anonymity is one of my forum's big selling points. Can this program expose the email addressed of registered users?

If under "this program" you mean Private Messaging add-on, it is not using emails directly, and that's it's advantage, because the communication happens internally on the server.

For communicating on the email basis, you may pay attention to the Direct Email add-on.

In which file?

I assume in addon_pmail_funcfl.php file make sure that:

$GLOBALS['enablePemail']=1;

I am giving explanations above, and the file is addon_pmail.php. There is a line


and probably above this line you shall put $enablePemail=1; however I didn't test it.

There is now a block/ignore user feature in Private Messages, yes?

I see it listed on the demo forum. You can see your private messages and click on "Ignore" which gives you a list of people you've chosen to ignore/block. However, after stumbling around in PM-land for a bit, I can't see how one is supposed to add a user to your "ignore" list.

Any help appreciated! I'm sure it's right there in front of me, but I'm blind.

You can block only someone who sent you a message by clicking on the "Ignore" link in the message and that makes sense :)

Perfect! I knew it had to be there somewhere. Thanks so much!

I'm converting my minibb header and footer files from .html to .php. Everything, is working perfectly, EXCEPT for pmView. It's fine when the user is logged in, everything works perfectly, but when the user is logged out, I get the message: "Notice: Undefined index: pmView in /mysitename/minibb/templates/forumheader.php on line XX".

I'm using <$php echo $GLOBALS['pmView']; ?> to include it in the top menu.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

[I'm also having the same problem with polls. Get the undefined message on some of the pages, but not others.]
