  Does anyone have the latest version of pmBOX available for download? Can't seem to find it anywhere and I would like to try to get it working with postnuke .75 Gold.
  
  Feel free to email it directly to me at clemsonjeeper at gmail dotcom

  Yes, and Lest anyone be concerned, I had a copy sent to me by someone else, and it was GPL'd so there is no problem giving it out. I need it again also.

  In fact i hadn't looked but yes you are right in the copy that MagiX himself send me there is a GPL licence !!
  What I have done so far :
  - make it compatible with PN .750
  - changed the only template used to a pnRender one (I didn't templated it, just got rid of the NS-iLibrary lib)
  - ported all queries to ADODB
  - fixed some security issues
  - and of course added french language files :D
  Maybe if it's GPL I can share my modifications with other users interested
  Of course a lot of work would be needed to make it fully API compliant but I found it one of the best private messaging system available for postnuke.

  I'm interested in what you've done, if it works with 750 that'll be great.

  would also be interested in a solution
  
  in the archive i got from pmBox (Version 2.7) there is under the docs the gpl.txt license file. as far as i understood the GPL everthing what is released under it can be redistributed as far as you leave the credits intact.
  
  so there is nothing against it to make it available for download to the community or am i false?
  
  rgds,

  I don't have the file anymore, it's on one of my backups, but I remember checking the code when someone sent it to me recently and saw nothing to indicate that it was anything but GPL.

  I looked in the licence rapidly and it seems I have to put something in every file I have changed. I will add a line in each file and make it available to download.

  I don't think you really need to put something in EVERY file. You can reference a file, like credits.txt or changlog.txt and that should be adequate.

  Too late, I already did it !! It's now available here : http://www.vedrine.n…download-sid-2.html
  Warning : It's only a quick fix because I wanted it to run on my .750 site. It would need a lot more work to produce a really upgraded module but currently with my work on the weather and books modules, I don't have any time available. Sorry because it's a wonderfull module (but attached files would definitely need some added security ... think carefully before enabling it for anybody on your website and DISABLE UPLOADING OF PHP FILES in admin panel !!!)

  Hello,
  It's quite possible that you found a bug because it was a rather quick work so you should consider it as a beta version, but as for any work I do, I intend to support it, so if you could point me to the error you see I will do my best to correct it.
  The problem is (maybe because english isn't my primary language) that I don't understand "subject/headers aren't for the correct messages" . Can you point me to an URL showing the problem or send me a screen picture ? Thanks a lot.

  hello, i have made a mistake reporting the error message : ) i tried many different ways to get messages sorted, and the bug i reported is instead what happens when trying to add an ORDER BY to the existing Messages SQL statement.
  
  but, i did get an error when using your version of pmBox: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/justadd/public_html/modules/i-Mod[pmBox_2.7]/index.php on line 91
  
  i also tried naming the folder "Messages", removing the core Messages module and then installing this one as a new "Messages" and got a similar error.
  
  is this just something i am doing wrong?
  
  thanks

  You have a problem here : the directory MUST be named pmBOX (case is important) Sorry I apparently forgot to include all files in the zipfile in a pmBOX Folder before zipping.
  So you should have a pmBOX directory in your /home/justadd/public_html/modules/ and all files (admin.php, help.php, index.php, ...) and subdir (attached, includes, lang, ...) in it.
  Don't forget to CHMOD attached directory if you want to authorize attachments.
  But I am affraid that this is not the only problem because I can't see why a wrong directory name could cause that error.
  Are other people using my version having the same problem ?
  Note : the zip file is now corrected : all files are in a modules/pmBOX subdirectory
