To do this, just use this format:</p> <p><code>$admin_email = "Your Name &lt;you@yourdomain.com&gt;";<br /> </code></p> <p>When the e-mail is delivered, it will show up as being from "Your Name" and not "you@yourdomain.com". I'm not sure that this will work on all PHP configurations, but it works on mine. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-messages/page/3#post-5962 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 17:30:39 +0000 wittmania 5962@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Several people have asked for additional capabilities to be added to this plugin:<br /> 1. That an e-mail alert would be sent out every time a member received a new private message, and<br /> 2.

If you created the tables as they are setup in that function, it shouldn't do anything again. If it happens again, I suggest you comment out the table creation code in the plugin. I don't know why it would do that.</p> <p>By the way, Online List works the same way as mine with table creation if you use that one. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-messages/page/3#post-5250 Wed, 07 Mar 2007 10:34:58 +0000 CBFAdmin 5250@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>ardentfrost, I dont know what happened but all PM's that went out yesterday have seemed to vanish without a trace??? They were in the data base cuz I checked and seen them there. Today they are gone. I am wondering if the table was copied over after I had manualy installed the table, with your call function in bb-privatemessages.php. Maybe I did not give it enough time to do it on it's own. I will see what happens today. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-messages/page/3#post-5228 Tue, 06 Mar 2007 22:27:23 +0000 ardentfrost 5228@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Since that only has to happen once, if you added the tables that should be the end of it. I tested the process on my own server and had 2 others test it on theirs. A lot of people have downloaded and installed the plugin, and a minority have had problems. Unfortunately, I am unsure how to fix this problem for that minority, but the commands you posted should work or people can copy the commands directly from the plugin themselves... it's the first subroutine in the main plugin file (bb-privatemessages.php) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-messages/page/3#post-5223 Tue, 06 Mar 2007 19:54:50 +0000 CBFAdmin 5223@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I had problems too. The table was not created. I had to do it manualy. I have all of the latest updates for both WP and bbPress so I dont know what went wrong. To fix the data base issue go to you myphp admin (data base) and give the following command.</p> <p>CREATE TABLE <code>bb_privatemessages</code> (<br /> <code>pm_id</code> BIGINT( 20 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,<br /> <code>id_sender</code> INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,<br /> <code>id_receiver</code> INT( 11 ) NOT NULL ,<br /> <code>seen</code> INT( 2 ) NOT NULL ,<br /> <code>pmtitle</code> VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL ,<br /> <code>message</code> VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,<br /> <code>created_on</code> DATETIME NOT NULL ,<br /> PRIMARY KEY ( <code>pm_id</code> )<br /> ) TYPE = MYISAM ;</p> <p>This solved my problems for now. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-messages/page/3#post-4671 Mon, 19 Feb 2007 23:24:23 +0000 netsleds 4671@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>ardentfrost.....thanks I didn't have my-template folder as a subfolder of the bb-template directory so it was having a hard time with that.

Even if you set it to int, it would get some values (they wouldn't make any sense however).</p> <p>I'm pretty sure in .80 of bbpress you have to have the template folder inside my-templates. So those files should be in my-templates/[your template here]. The function that gets the location only returns the location of the template folder.</p> <p>Plus when you load /pm.php you don't get any errors, just nothing is displayed in the source. I bet if you added an echo to say "hello" in pm.php it would be displayed. I bet if you added an echo below the file call for privatemessages.php you wouldn't get jack. If that's the case, that means the function is unable to find privatemessages.php and is halting.</p> <p>I should have come up with some way to display something if it can't find the file. I'll release that in the next version... but for now it seems most likely to me either the files aren't in the correct place or something affecting it's ability to find the files has occurred. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-messages/page/3#post-4530 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 18:52:29 +0000 netsleds 4530@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I do have the template files in /my-template/ folder (I even put them in the default template directory too), I am using mod-rewrite, and when I initially set up the pm plugin, the database did not install, so I grabbed the query from the bb-privatemessage.php file to create the bb_privatemessage table and when I ran the query it gave me an error with the "message" column saying </p> <p>"<a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1074">#1074</a> - Too big column length for column 'message' (max = 255). Use BLOB instead" </p> <p>So I set it to BLOB and Even tried LONGTEXT. I don't see if it would make a difference or not, but maybe that is why? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-messages/page/3#post-4528 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 18:20:55 +0000 ardentfrost 4528@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Sorry, I just saw these 2 posts.</p> <p>Suleiman, the "seen" is just a boolean value that tells whether or not the receiver of the PM has opened the message or not. It should be expected for it to have some zeros on there if no one can see their PMs. As for id_receiver, do you have someone with an id of zero? Or all they all zeros, even those to multiple people?</p> <p>Sometimes the best way to work through the problems is to do it through IMs, so if you'd like to do that, just let me know. We can get it working for you.</p> <p>Netsleds, there should be DB errors the first time you install the plugin, but that's just for when the tables are being created. Upon refresh, they should go away (I assume they did?). As for your problem of it being a blank page, that is certainly strange. It's not showing anything in the source, even the header or footer, which makes me think you might not have the template files in the correct place. Do you have them in the directory of the template you're using? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-private-messages/page/3#post-4495 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 01:13:46 +0000 netsleds 4495@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Tried installing this plugin on our forums and having problems.

Open up your mysql and check if _privatemessages is there. If not, you can open bb-privatemessages.php and look at the first function in that file.
