    • Changing default on PM

    Posted by Bluey posts: 2

    With 1.9, the default for members' PM is 'no' which causes me problems when they don't look in their Preferences and instead try and PM me...
    I need to change the default to allow all members to use PM.

    Is this in tiki_user_preferences?
    Can you please advise which 'exactly' I should change.

    Ta!

    You would need to do two steps, firstly change the prefence in tiki_user_preferences for all existing users, then a code modification to make the default option yes.

    Personally I feel it should be yes anyway, as this is new behaviour in 1.9

    Hi Bluey,

    I suggest doing a surgery to the Tiki Database if you feel comfortably with blood...

    Run the following script to find the users who have problem with PM:

    SELECT 'user'
    FROM `tiki_user_preferences`
    WHERE `prefName` = 'allowMsgs' AND `value` = 'n' LIMIT 0 , 30;

    Then you can change the option "Allow messages from other users" in user Preferences/Other Preferences for every user of this select.

    Or you can "kill" all these ennoying rows by

    DELETE
    FROM `tiki_user_preferences`
    WHERE `prefName` = 'allowMsgs' AND `value` = 'n'.

    The oprion will be "YES" in the next login.

    Spyk.

    PS I tried creating a new user in my Tiki (v.1.9.0) and the oprion "Allow messages from other users" is by deafault YES.
