trac user juho.jaakkola wrote on 42322543-05-10 I made a pull request 4 months ago but apparently it's still open. |
trac user juho.jaakkola wrote on 42323009-02-24 Actually it would be nice if the message page (messages/read/n) displayed a list of all the messages between two (or more?) users instead of just one message (with the original message as a possible attachment). Then there wouldn't be need for the "reply" relation between the messages but instead the messages could be listed chronologically. But I suppose a change as big as this isn't possible until Elgg 1.9? |

cash wrote on 42472406-01-20 I tried to add displaying the original message above a reply in Elgg 1.8 and there was no good way to do this without ignoring access. I don't want to go down that route. I was able to come up with a way to display message threads without too much difficulty so I'll schedule this for Elgg 1.9. The idea is to assign a thread id through metadata to all messages. The thread id is inherited by replies. I can then display arbitrary numbers of messages backward (or forward) in time. There will be some UI/retrieval issues to work out |

Still agree this would be a great usability improvement to the current messages system... Big kudos for whoever takes on this hairy issue... |
Not an easy task. Did that in hypeInbox. Messages plugin needs some major
|
How about we just replace messages in 2.0 with something better designed? |
That would be optimal. Current implementation is a heavy mammoth

Yes please. |
Original ticket http://trac.elgg.org/ticket/4287 on 42027806-05-03 by trac user juho.jaakkola, assigned to unknown.
Elgg version: 1.7
When viewing a message from inbox, the original message is not attached to the reply like it is in sent messages.
This is because the receiver's copy of the message is missing "reply" relation to the original message.
