@Daniel Hood,

Is it possible to make it so admins can hide their read date if they desired?

If not can that be a suggestion, it seems to be an all nothing deal with every user on granting that since its an option instead of a permission.
 
@Daniel Hood
sometimes user can not send message even setting "Inbox Size (max number of conversations)" is set enough high to send PC.
I think it somhow connected with setting "Inbox Size (max number of messages)".

I have dynamic usergroup promotions, so maybe there is some correlation between promotions and settings?

I don't believe that is currently possible. I'll look into switching it to a permission rather than option though.

Is that specific user ever able to send a message? Can you analyze their permission and see what limit they have? The 20 max, 4 used part -- is that for messages or conversations?

It is not one user, several of them have that problem.

I analyzed permission for one of them, and limit is OK
he 20 max, 4 used part -- is that for messages or conversations?
For max conversations in inbox

Sometimes problem is solved when I rebuild caches (user caches + rebuild conversations).

I have promotions based on number of post in last 28 days, so if user move today from group A to group B, he also get higher conversations limit, but next day he could be demoted to group A with lower conversations limit.
 
The part that isn't making sense is that the max/used bar is showing correctly (or at least I assume it is). That's calculated the same way. I can see why rebuilding conversation caches helps, but I don't know how the data is getting orphaned in the first place or why their limit bar shows correctly.

I'll try to trouble shoot it but due to not being able to replicate the problem, it's going to be difficult.
 
I want to move the inline mod checkbox input from the conversation view into another <div> (I think that is UIX specific "messageDetails" – which is not in the default style). Thus having more "consistency" throughout the website forum design through simulating the XF original thread message design…

The question is: which template is housing the <input> checkbox? I do assume it is generated with some php voodoo because I can not find it, neither in a template nor in a template mod… sounds like a silly question but is "essential" to me…

@Daniel Hood does this allow you to mass delete PMs? Since importing, many of our users are complaining they are unable to delete PMs. Only leave. I saw this mod and I was wondering if it had this feature.
 
No, the point is actually the opposite. In vB deleting the conversation only deletes it from your inbox, not the other people's. Which is what leaving a conversation in XenForo does.

The checkbox is in one of the template modifications on the "conversation_message" template under the "Conversation Essentials" add-on. There's 3, 2 don't have a description and it's one of those "convess_conversation_message_inlinemod_checkbox" is the modification key.

I don't think that's entirely correct. A conversation is not deleted from the XF database unless all participants leave the conversation. So if I leave a conversation and don't check the box that says "continue to receive replies" or whatever that is, and the other participant(s) reply again, the conversation will come back into my inbox.
 
That's similar to what happens in vB too though. When you delete a conversation from your inbox, it remains in the other recipients inboxes. It's the same concept just XenForo has a more accurate name for the action (leaving vs deleting).
 
Similar in the outward appearance to the user, but vB doesn't thread messages together which is why it's nearly impossible to import them into XF that way. XF keeps every message individually and ties the users that are party to the conversation to the single message, vB generates multiple independent messages each one of which is only tied to the individual sender or recipient. Each message has data for the sender and recipient(s) but beyond that, a single message (sent or received) is only directly associated with one user account. I think this is just semantics though...pretty sure we both get it :coffee:
 
I understand how it works and that's why I'm saying what I'm saying.. no matter how you spin it, the functionality is the same. When you delete your message or conversation in vb, it isn't deleted, only your copy of it is. In XenForo the same thing happens, it's just not named delete because calling it delete would be inaccurate as it is in vB.

Yup. Found it. Thank you! Had to copy it into the UIX "messages" template and deactivate the ConvEss template mod to get it done. It works. I guess there is no chance to have a template mod for a template mod? Will upgrades on an add-on overwrite template mods? (edit: yup, stupid question, of course they will.)
