damienhbg, what browser/OS are you using ?
If you can copy & paste the string shown for "your User Agent" from here that would be great.

And just to make sure, you downloaded the latest stable version from the first post in this thread, and not a DEV version hosted at Google Code, correct ?

I'm using the latest version of firefox, windows XP, and my user agent is:

Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16

and i did in fact download from the first post of this thread

It's still a little interesting that you would get that error in Firefox 2. I wonder if any other Firefox 2 users have had problems with MODX install files.

I think u have a minor bug in the install files..
Open: mcp.php
Find
Tip: This may be a partial find and not the whole line.

Code: Select all

		'make_normal'	=> array('f_announce', 'f_sticky')

Add after
Tip: Add these lines on a new blank line after the preceding line(s) to find.

Code: Select all

,
		'masspm'		=> 'u_masspm'

Should be

Nope, comma needs to be there.

This is the entire section in question.

Code: Select all

	$user_quickmod_actions = array(
		'lock'			=> 'f_user_lock',
		'make_sticky'	=> 'f_sticky',
		'make_announce'	=> 'f_announce',
		'make_global'	=> 'f_announce',
		'make_normal'	=> array('f_announce', 'f_sticky')
	);

If you add that new part without the preceeding comma, you'll get a syntax error.

The resulting section, after modification, should look like this.

Code: Select all

	$user_quickmod_actions = array(
		'lock'			=> 'f_user_lock',
		'make_sticky'	=> 'f_sticky',
		'make_announce'	=> 'f_announce',
		'make_global'	=> 'f_announce',
		'make_normal'	=> array('f_announce', 'f_sticky'),
		'masspm'      => 'u_masspm'
	);

Is it possible to adjust the permissions of this?

I don't want all my members to have access to it but I feel this mod is amazing for when my moderators need to lock a topic. They would be able to explain why they locked it easily.

But the ability to add permissions would be absolutely amazing! I just have no clue how hard this would be for you as I have never modded html or javascript before..

Mudjosh, I almost set it up to use its' own new permission when I started. I decided against doing that though, and instead linked it to the permission that determines if members can send private messages to multiple recipients or not.

If you only want to have moderators doing this, I suggest allowing moderators permission to send PMs to multiple recipients, but turning that permission off for everyone else. This is a permission already built into phpBB3 and it's the permission this MOD uses to determine whether a member can see the tool and use it or not.

In the ACP that permission is under the "Permissions" tab,
and from there I would do it through "Groups Permissions".

After selecting your moderators group, click "Advanced Permissions" ,
then in the resulting section under the "Private Messages" tab alter
"Can send pm to multiple users and groups"
so that moderators can use it, they probably can already.

Do the same for your "Registered Users" group, but this time set the permission to "No".
