Simple Messaging in Pligg v 9.8 and lower

[AnAlienHolakres3]

As you have noticed, file structure in Pligg version 9.9 was changed. Private messaging module was for many people (including me) buggy and especially in Internet Explorer often useless. Thanx to Ash there is another option - Simple messaging module. If you try to install this module on older version of Pligg ( < 0.98) it will fail. You will have to do some modifications if you want to get it working.

Step 1:
Disable current private messaging system. This can be done by modules management in your admin panel.

Step 2:
Download Pligg v 9.9 and copy simple messaging folder from modules folder to your older Pligg version modules folder.

Step 3:
Open inbox.tpl and inbox_link_in_menu.tpl from simple messaging templates folder. In both files change config_load file to {config_load file="/libs/lang.conf"}

Step 4:
Install this module with module management.

Step 5:
Open user.php in your main folder and find

PHP Code:

'<td><a href="#view_message" rel="view_message~!~view=small_msg_compose~!~login=' .$myfriend->user_login . '" class="lbOn"><img src='.my_pligg_base.'/templates/'.$the_template.'/images/user_message.png border=0></a></td>' 


Replace this code with:

PHP Code:

'<td><a href="' . my_pligg_base . '/module.php?module=simple_messaging&view=compose&return=' . urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) .'&to=' .$myfriend->user_login . '"<img src='.my_pligg_base.'/templates/'.$the_template.'/images/user_message.png border=0></a></td>' 


Thats all. Hope it helps someone:)
