hmm, it didn't create a tab at the top on mine. Could there be a conflict with the Page Management extension?
A notification on the message board of a private message is needed.
another bug (i think). when composing a private message, the WYSIWYG toolbar does not appear, even though i have the option of selecting text or BBcode.
Hey using this on a new 1.0.3 forum and its trying to open the page URL: http://blahblahblah.com/forum/extension/?PostBackAction=PrivateMessages when clicking the inbox tab. something going a little funky somewhere...
i feel it would make more sense if the 'x days ago' (or minutes, or whatever) text reflected the time of the last message in the exchange, and not the first one. does anyone else agree?
at the moment, if i receive a new PM in reply to another, it still says '4 days old' next to it, even though the newest message is only 5 minutes old.
so, to summarise the list of requests for this plugin so far:
- email notification needs fixing (i am now getting NO emails at all from this plugin) - WYSIWYG toolbar does not appear - a reply to a sent message does not count towards the message count in the inbox - the inbox shows sent messages (should be in the outbox) - senders of messages are not shown in the inbox/outbox lists - the date e.g. '2 hours ago' reflects the date of the first message in the exchange, not the most recent
- req: friendly URLs compatibility - req: notification on the discussion list of a new PM - req: unread message count on the tab - req: ability to delete messages (or perhaps just file them away..?)
* the date e.g. '2 hours ago' reflects the date of the first message in the exchange, not the most recent
Change line 42 in PrivateMessages/discussion_grid.php from: <td class="MailBoxDate">'.TimeDiff($this->Context, $Discussion->DateCreated).'</td> to: <td class="MailBoxDate">'.TimeDiff($this->Context, $Discussion->DateLastActive,mktime()).'</td>
look at the page url of where the textarea is, and add that page in default.php of ur WYSIWYG. it should look like this if ( in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("post.php", "comments.php")) )
FriendlyURLs is useful from an SEO and simply a human readability point of view.
Also, it's not really an extension, but a core feature IMO since it's bundled with the main download and enabled in a different way to every other extension out there. I think the incompatibility comes from extension authors not testing with both FriendlyURLs turned on and turned off. Either that, or the MOD_REWRITE rules in FriendlyURLs don't encompass everything that extensions can do by default? Certainly FriendlyURLs is a feature that is very attractive to a large number of people.
Something I'd like to see until the Friendly URLs is made more "extension friendly" is a way to disable it using a parameter in GetUrl(). Extensions like this don't neeed Friendly URLs outside of aesthetics.
Comments
people even come up to me in my local pub, asking about the lack of email notification

Change line 42 in PrivateMessages/discussion_grid.php from:
<td class="MailBoxDate">'.TimeDiff($this->Context, $Discussion->DateCreated).'</td>to:
<td class="MailBoxDate">'.TimeDiff($this->Context, $Discussion->DateLastActive,mktime()).'</td>how can i get a string with this url:
http://www.coolr.de/extension/?DiscussionID=123&PostBackAction=PrivateMessages&View=Message
from this:
$ItemUrl = GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'extension.php', '', 'DiscussionID', $Discussion->DiscussionID, '', 'PostBackAction=PrivateMessages&View=Message');Am I missing something? Is it really that useful an extension that people put up with so many incompatibilities and issues?

Cool ext - hope an update rolls through soon
