Is it possible to turn private messaging off via permissions for something?

For example, I want a Group (students) not to have access to PM.

no easy way in 2.0.X

in 2.2.x you can control by group permissions as it is a module.

I'll try and look at the db in a few minutes and tell you if there is an easy hack for 2.0.x

it would require an addition to the dB and code additions at either the permissions or pm level.

I have searched and searched and can't see a way in 2.0. It needs a smarter guy than me.

It's got too much of a 'cascade' potential for me to give any off the cuff advice about, but if it's important enough to pay for, you could find someone to do it. Or, you could wait for 2.4 or load up 2.2.4 (I would do it as a unique install as opposed to overwriting your 2.0)

Thanks for your advice. At this stage I think I will resort to using a big stick to keep the students focussed.

I will wait to the next upgrade to move to this functionality.

For version 2.2,

I did a PM hack wich allows only Webmasters to send PM's while allowing all other users to received PM's. This is here https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=48192&forum=15 but it has the problem that the user must be a webmaster. The code that I changed just blends out the button when the user is not defined as isAdmin. When some one can tell me where this is defined, maybe I can figure out how to continue to modify this hack.

I am not sure if this is possible in another version. I had to move to 2.2, becuase we also have the problem that the notifcations must come per PM as the employees do not have email, and at the same time, they should not be chatting the entire day.

If anyone has any more help for me, please see my hack and send me a PM or reply to my post.

Depending on your user base, you could use my solution in the meantime simon.

Thanks for the great community. XOOPS ROCKS!
