Viewing PM as one page

Hi,

I wonder if there's a hack that can be done to view private messages that has been going on for a while and has taken up few pages, to display all of the messages in one long page? I would like to save the message in a form of a PDF and were wondering if there's another way other than manually capture each page and combined them later?

    You could increase Conversations.Conversations.PerPage in the config.php to a really high number temporarily.

  • @Bleistivt thanks! But I don't have access to the server.

    I found a workaround while looking at the url generated, and thought I should share this, in case if someone else is wondering how to do this.

    When I look at the URL of the first page on the PM, it looked like this:

    .../messages/8736/0/50/

    And when I view the next page, it looked like this:

    .../messages/8736/50/50/

    So I played around with the url to get it display all of the messages in one page and manage to get it right. So I added this to the url to view all of the messages:

    .../messages/8736/0/150/

    I don't know what that means but it works. So hopefully this will benefit others who are trying to achieve the same thing, without access to the server, or being a mod in the forum.

    Cheers.

    This is /messages/ConversationID/offset/limit which means you get the messages of that conversation starting from the first one (offset = zero) and limit the result to 150 messages.

    If you like to print the conversation, you might like to try /messages/8736/0/150&DeliveryType=VIEW

    Note to Self - Looks like the messages controller should be modified to use the Vanilla pagination scheme.
