Messaging component overview

Overview

In the last update, a security problem has been patched, please update the program to the latest version.

This component is a simple and elegant personal messaging system built entirely with the new MVC framework, which makes template overrides possible. It is compatible with Joomla! 1.5 only. You can send messages to multiple users and it has a user suggestion function. It is also possible to use BBCode and smilies. The inbox size can be defined by the administrator and can have a different value for each usertype. Users can disable the service for themselves with the UserMeta plugin. It supports three languages at the moment:

English
French
Dutch

No configuration is required to use this component. The documentation can be found here. To download, click here. A component is available to migrate to the new version without losing all messages. If you want to see this extension in your own language and you're willing to translate it, please post a message in the forum.

Note that the bloc below is not a demo of the component (coming soon), it's for comments!

Antonio (189.71.83.xxx) 20-06-2009 03:39:57

does this commponet have integration with jomsocial?

Sander (SAdministrator) 08-09-2009 21:33:18

No, at the moment this component isn't integrated with any other component.

wink wink nudge nudge

yvan (219.18.22.xxx) 13-04-2009 09:31:43

I have a page with a list of users...

Is there a way to make a shortcut so
that a user only has to click on a given name to automatically send a generic
message? (kind of a 'nudge' thing)

answer to me

yvan (121.2.16.xxx) 18-04-2009 10:04:58

In ...components/com_messaging/views/message/tmpl/def ault.php

I simply added:

$to=$_GET['to'];
$subject = $_GET['sub'];
$message = $_GET['msg'];

somewhere
in the beginning... So I can pre-fill the fields with to, sub and msg as
parameters... Is that wrong?

Sander (SAdministrator) 18-04-2009 20:54:15

No,

It's the right way to do it. But I removed that part temporarily as I
didn't have enough time to connect any real functions to that code.

doesn't work for me

yvan (121.3.156.xxx) 05-04-2009 05:58:24

Hi! I installed it on my Joomla 1.5... but it doesn't seem to work. The messages
are not sent and the modifications of the "messaging properties" in the
admin/components section are not saved.

Any clues?

Sander (SAdministrator) 10-04-2009 16:46:13

Not at the moment. But can you look at link:http://www.thetricky.net/forum?itemid=328&am p;func=view&id=120&a
mp;catid=9#187 forum thread. If you can't get that to work, can
you please submit a bug report in the forum.

Thanks!

yvan (121.3.147.xxx) 12-04-2009 19:16:44

yeah it worked, thanks.

I didnt have the "messaging" tables and I
executed the sqlcode you put on the forum...

I can't really tell you more,
sorry ^^;;

founder (76.215.146.xxx) 20-02-2009 22:54:39

what are you plans for integration with the
currently-in-alpha-but-coming-soon-in-beta "tamka"? -- a
blogging/commenting extension for J1.5

Sander (SAdministrator) 10-04-2009 16:29:25

I think I'll add it to my to-do list with CB integration. I'll start working on
these features as soon as as I have enough time to really finish everything.

i like the PMS

Ramiro (75.74.69.xxx) 21-11-2008 17:26:40

thank you for doing this. it's simple and to the point.

ask for attachment

Sophie (202.69.105.xxx) 16-11-2008 11:18:06

I wish this component could have such like attachment files.. would u consider
it??

Sander (SAdministrator) 21-02-2009 09:32:38

Maybe sometime in the future, but don't expect anything soon.

Sander (SAdministrator) 19-08-2008 12:52:03

Hi,

This is a little bug in the current version

To correct it
you will have to wait the next version or correct the code.

I made
an entry in the bug report forum link:http://thetricky.net/index.php?option=com_fi reboard&itemid=328&func=
view&catid=9&id=120, where I will try to correct the error.

Receiver

Rublex (213.70.77.xxx) 18-08-2008 13:09:26

Hi,

is it possible to show only the registered User as receiver? I always get
the registered User and the Contacts.

The Box, where the receivers are listed
in, always shows only 2 receivers. Caused by that i have to click many times if
i have a lot of users. Is it possible to change the height of the Box?

Ruble (213.70.77.xxx) 19-08-2008 09:22:54

The Second problem with the Selectionbox is solved. Any suggestions for the
first one?

Sander (SAdministrator) 19-08-2008 12:41:25

What do you mean with contacts? Could you give an example?

Sander Kromwijk

Rublex (213.70.77.xxx) 19-08-2008 13:24:59

I have registered Users and i have Contacts
(Backende->Components->Contacts)

For Example:
A Contacts Name is: Mike
Smith
The username is: mike

I get both names listed.

Rublex (213.70.77.xxx) 19-08-2008 13:54:59

Sorry,

now i've seen your "Settings for Administrator" which is the
solution for me.

Thx for the Support!

Username instead of Name

Jenna (66.184.178.xxx) 30-07-2008 17:18:24

Hi,

How can I get this system to use the username for sending/receiving
messages rather than the "name"? There are so many people with the same
name no one knows who to pick! Thanks so much!

Sander (SAdministrator) 30-07-2008 23:15:56

Hi,

This will be added to the configuration screen in the next version.
Until then, you can follow the instructions in the link:http://www.thetricky.net/index.php?option=co m_content&view=article&i
d=81&Itemid=308#seta (at the end of the "Settings for
the Administrator" chapter).

More smart

Leo Lee (222.93.213.xxx) 21-07-2008 17:14:22

I think it is a very nice component.But I hope to send a message to several
people .

Sander (SAdministrator) 25-07-2008 10:36:14

To send your message to several people, simply seperate the different users with
a comma, like this:
user1, user2, user3, user4, etc...

Messaging Module problem

Jas (99.254.105.xxx) 18-07-2008 06:09:24

This is an excellent module/components. Very easy to use and does what most of
people need. I got a problem with the module. It doesn't dispaly the number of
messages I have. When I click on go to the inbox or send a message. It opens in
full screen. All side menus gone and can't get back to home screen. Have to use
the back button on explorer.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jas

Sander (SAdministrator) 30-07-2008 23:17:26

Hi,

Which template are you using for Joomla? Are both the component and the
module up to date?

Sander Kromwijk

bug?

ojup (71.172.117.xxx) 11-07-2008 03:30:03

I got below errors in the inbox. is it something wrong in the setp?

Notice:
Undefined property: MessagesModelMessages::$baseurl in C:\Program
Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\components
\com_messaging\models\messages.php on line 234

thanks

version

ojup (71.172.117.xxx) 11-07-2008 03:44:30

btw I am using J!1.5.3 on a Windows box

Sander (SAdministrator) 11-07-2008 10:34:52

No, it's quite normal. This piece of code has been added to ensure the component
is compatible with different php and joomla versions. It only appears if you
have error reporting set to Notice. You can delete the $baseurl in the file or
edit the php.ini file of your server and change the error_reporting to
"E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE".

Sander Kromwijk

It would be better to catagorise

Better this (89.19.160.xxx) 05-07-2008 17:26:57

It would be if you catagorise your messeging system.

Sander (SAdministrator) 05-07-2008 17:47:13

What do you mean?

Willy (87.20.252.xxx) 04-07-2008 14:08:22

why create a component that have less functions than the others? ...

There is
no sense i think...
People will continue to use uddeIM ...

Sander (SAdministrator) 04-07-2008 14:51:40

I made it for poeple who don't want 5 pages of configuration. It's just to be
simpler. And at the moment the program is nearing 1000 downloads a month, so
some poeple are interested in it.

Community Builder

Jason (207.6.187.xxx) 03-07-2008 02:29:09

Does this pms have community builder integration

RE: Community Builder

Sander (SAdministrator) 03-07-2008 15:45:23

No, at the moment it isn't possible to use community builder in combination with
this PMS.
