I manage an intranet site for a subsidiary of Lufthansa, and it is not desired that the employees send one another PM's. Is it possible, or is there a mod, that makes it possible to control who can send and receive PN's

Thanks for your help.

Well there's a very simple answer to ur question and that is grouping.

Make different groups on ur website and only allow some groups to accesss Private message module and restrict the access for others.

Well U can easilt change the permissions from the

Admin Panel >> Users >> Groups

Thanks for the fast reply! I have not seen a PM module. I can only shut of the user menu block. Then the user cannot logout without a huge work around.

sumyog is correct - but the PM module only exists as a module for XOOPS 2.2.x at present. (In XOOPS 2.0.x it is a part of the main system).

It should be possible to add a checking condition to test what group the user belongs to, and to give a "not allowed" message if they're not allowed to use it.

I'm sure one of the cleverer posters can help you with something like this (I'm not a php coder myself, sorry )

Thanks for the tip. Now I have the problem in version 2.2 that the notifications are not working. But the PM's can now be shut off.

Any Tipps on activating the Notifcations in 2.2?

The problem is the employees have no email, so this must run over the phpmail().

Thanks again for your help.

Ahhh... I have found the setting, but it seems that it just will not work to notify the employees about new news without having the PH's available.

Has anyone any mods or ideas?
