Wasnt sure if I should post this in the main 'Private Message' topic on here, but thats a long post now- so I started it here.
First of all, If you have the PM limit feature on, members can get around this!
What happens is that you are not exactly banned from using 'private_send.asp' All that happens when you reach your PM limit is that the icons for 'reply' or 'new pm' dont show anymore.
However these icons do still show up in 'members.asp' (profiles pages) and 'topic.asp'. So even if members reach their PM limit, if they go into topic.asp or members.asp they can still reach the private_send.asp page and send further PM's!
So you need to make the following changes in private_send.asp
Find the following:
quote:
Set rsPM = my_Conn.Execute(strSql)
pmtotal = rsPM("pmtotal")
rsPM.close
set rsPM = nothing
Straight after that add :
quote:
If pmtotal = strPMLimit or pmtotal > strPMLimit and mlev < 3 then
Response.Write ("<center><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ color=""" & StrHiLiteFontColor & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>You have reached your private message limit of " & strPMLimit & ".<br>To send further private messages you must clean your Inbox.</font></center><br><br>")
Response.Write ("<center><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ color=""" & StrDefaultFontColor & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""pm_view.asp"">Return To Your Inbox</a></font></center>")
else
Note: the part in blue overwrides for moderators and admin. If you dont want moderators to have override to thsi feature change the 3 to 4
Change the following (right at the bottom of the page):
quote:
end if
WriteFooter
Response.End
%>
to:
quote:
end if
end if
WriteFooter
Response.End
%>

I have also modified the private_send.asp page into a 'pop up page'. So that when the user click to send someone a PM from thier profile or topic.asp, they are introduced to a pop-up window (exactly the same as the 'send e-mail' pop-up window!
http://www.harchester.net/pop_privatesend.txt
http://www.harchester.net/pop_privatesend_info.txt
add these pages, and then just modify the link in topic.asp/members.asp to force these new pages to open up in a pop-up window (same size as the pop_mail.asp window).
You can test this feature out in my forum:

Im not sure if anyone will find this usefull or not, but thought I would share! |
