[SOLVED] Private Messages plugin configuration setting

Hello

I have searched the PMS plugin configuration to see if there is a setting somewhere that allows the "time sent" and "time received" next to the sent and received messages list.

I did not find any related setting.

Is this setting somewhere else?

Please advise...

Thank you.

There's no option for that. You'd need to create and override template folder, copy messages.php to it, then adjust the cbFormatDate usage to output time. Time will become visible in a later release when PMS is turned into more of a chat like interface.

I overrided the template folder. Can you please tell me ho i can adjust the cbFormatDate usage to output time as i do not speak php?

Thank you!

The following steps should work.

1. Navigate to /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_pms_mypmspro/templates
2. Create a folder named "custom"
3. Copy "messages.php" from "default" folder to "custom"
4. Edit "messages.php" in "custom" making the following change

FROM: TO:
5. Within CB > Private Messages > Parameters > General set "Template" to "custom"

That should now have it to display time when viewing the messages list. You'll need to do similar for cbFormatDate if you also want it to show time when viewing the message directly in "message.php".

Thank you for your reply Krileon...

Unfortunately it did not work! I made the suggested customization but no date shows in the received PMs list.

Is it all that needs to be done or we are missing something?

This is how the list shows...


Thank you.

My guess is you didn't make the change successfully. Be care to ensure the PHP is still valid. You only need to remove ", true, false" from the cbFormatDate function call. That part is exclusively responsible for turning time display off.
