Default PM Read Receipts

I've had a few complaints from my members about the way they have to click the 'Request a read receipt for this message' checkbox each and every time they send someone a private message. Most would like to have this on by default, so I created this quick add-on to accommodate that request.

Features:

Allows each member to set whether or not they would like the 'Request a read receipt for this message' checkbox checked by default.

Installation Overview:
Files to Modify: 1
Templates to Modify: 0
Product:
-Plug-Ins: 0
-Templates: 0
-vB Options: 0
-Phrases: 0

Version History:
1.0.0 - Initial release.

Tested and works for vBulletin versions 3.5.x to 3.6.0

Nice. Thank you

You only need to change one template to make it default ticked. There is no need to modify any files !!!

To do so, open the template pm_newpm

Search for

<if condition="$show['trackpm']"><div><label for="cb_receipt"><input type="checkbox" name="receipt" value="1" id="cb_receipt" $checked[receipt] />$vbphrase[request_receipt_for_message]</label></div></if>

and change to

<if condition="$show['trackpm']"><div><label for="cb_receipt"><input type="checkbox" name="receipt" value="1" id="cb_receipt" checked="checked" />$vbphrase[request_receipt_for_message]</label></div></if>

Or, if you would like to give them an option, use a IF condition in the template ..

The idea was that the users would have the option to use it.

The problem with that is if you change the checkbox status and click 'preview', it'll reset itself to the default status. I would rather add one line to one file and have it working 100% rather then change one line in a template and have it working partially.

What if a user does not have access rights to request read receipts? Does this MOD keep this checkbox hidden from them?

Great mod, thanks.

Hi

Thanks, I was looking for this a long time.

Is there any way to make this a plugin by any chance without the file edit?

Does anyone know if this works with version 3.8.0? I've been looking for something like this and am really hoping it does!

Excellent, many thanks :D
