[Done 1.4.1 & 1.5.1] View IM By Member (Admin)

[Jack.R.Abbit]

This mod allows the forum admin to view the IM Inbox and Outbox of any member.  While this may have some privacy issues, as the mod requestor pointed out, its his server and his forum... deal with it.  The Admin can not modify the IM in any way.  I am not likely to be making many updates to this mod unless there is a brilliant addition or major bug.

viewimbymember - Updated 04/22/2003

Updates:
03/03/2003 - Updated for 1.5.1RC1
03/24/2003 - Updated for 1.5.1RC45
04/22/2003 - Updated for 1.5.1 Final

Enjoy!

I should mention that be sure to back up your data before applying this, or any, mod.  As it is still in beta, I can offer no guarantee.  Everything I post works fine in my YaBB installation but your milage may vary.

In order to view the PMs, you have to go into your Admin section, click on 'View PMs my Member', and from there it's self explanitory.

As for that error you're getting, only thing I can say is make sure you've got 1.4.1/1.5.1RC1, or modify the file manually.

Hey, got this installed today, and works well.  I do have a suggestion however.

The method that this uses is great.  (Being able to look up the inbox and outbox of a member you chose.).  However, it would be really nice if you could see ALL PM's sent in a list.  It could extend several pages...

I used to use PHPBB and had a PM Viewer mod on it... it would have a table and across the top it would have "Sender, Reciever, link, etc".  Then when you click on the link, a pop up of the message would appear.  

It would be awesome if this could be added, NOT REPLACED, as I like how this works too.  

Adding this makes looking up new PM's by ANY user easier.  

Your thoughts?  

[Jack.R.Abbit]

Glad to see you got it installed alright.  As for the suggestion, it is a pretty decent one, but I don't really have the time to add that feature.  I kind of see that as an entirely different mod that I don't care to tackle at the moment.

does it work with YabbSe 1.5.1 Final??

Whats with the AdvIM Mod^, is this compatible?

I have not tested it on 1.5.1 final but since it really just adds two lines to source files and then adds a whole new source file for itself, I suspect that it will work.

As for compatibilty with AdvIM mod, I don't know anything about AdvIM mod.  This mod however is pretty much stand-alone so I don't think there would be any conflicts.  All I have really done is take the original INBOX and OUTBOX code, stripped them down so you can't actually interact with the IMs and them put them both on the same page.  Then created a dropdown list so you can select which member to view.  That should work regardless of what mods you have made to the original INBOX and OUTBOX.  Best I can say at this point is if you are interested, intall it and check it out.

It works well for 1.5.1, but IM,s in the Backup / Archiv Folder arent shown..

I hope you can make a little addon..
