>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #2868286. --> Reported by: [jaypan](https://www.drupal.org/user/324696) >>> <p>The following issues are required to be resolved for a full-release of the module. If anyone is willing to provide assistance in implementing them, contact <a href="https://www.drupal.org/user/324696/track">Jaypan</a> to discuss further.</p> <p>* <del>A new widget needs to be created for adding users when creating a new thread. This will need to be something like on Facebook or Twitter, where typing a user's name shows autocomplete suggestions, and clicking space/tab fills in the name as a solidified block. This will be created by creating a new FieldWidget that acts on entityreference items. This widget needs to only show users who have permission to use the private message system.</del><br> <em>Introduced in beta3</em></p> <p>* <del>A delete method needs to be created for messages. There will need to be an 'edit' link on the thread page, that when clicked shows a list of checkboxes, and a 'delete' button. If/when the delete button is clicked, all selected messages will be deleted. This will happen through an AJAX interface, not requiring a re-loading of the page.</del><br> <em>Postponed for a future release</em></p> <p>* <del>A delete method needs to be created for threads. There will be a delete button on thread pages. Clicking this will delete the current thread, and load the most recently updated thread, or if there isn't one, revert to showing the default 'you have no messages' method.</del><br> <em>Implemented in beta12</em><br> * <del>The message shown in the sidebar is not currently set to be trimmed. It should be trimmed to X characters, with an ellipsis if longer than that length.</del><br> <em>Introduced in beta11</em> Note that the ellipsis does not show. Also note that any installations made prior to beta11 will not show this, as the base field definition was changed. To get trimmed text, the module requires re-installation.</p> <p>* <del>JavaScript needs to be added to the inbox, to periodically check for new threads, or a change in order of threads. The threads in the inbox should re-order themselves (most recently updated in descending order) if there are any changes, and any threads that are now at the top but do not exist in the inbox will need to be loaded.</del><br> <em>Introduced in beta6</em></p> <p>* <del>Permissions need to be properly integrated into the module. Currently there are a few, but they have not been properly implemented nor tested.</del></p> <p>* <del>A notification block needs to be created, saying 'you have X new messages' (or something along those lines - an icon is acceptable too) to inform users when they have new messages. This block needs to periodically update using AJAX</del><br> <em>Introduced in beta9</em></p> <p>* <del>The module needs to tie into email notifications, letting users know when they have received private messages. There also needs to be an opt-in/out method on their user profile, and there needs to be a site settings page to allow admins to determine the default</del><br> <em>Introduced in beta5</em></p> <p>* <del>Private message threads need to be loaded into the page with ajax when a thread is clicked into the inbox, rather than reloading the page. The URL needs to be updated as well. The unread-thread class also needs to be removed from the clicked thread.</del><br> <em>Introduced in beta13</em></p> <p>* <del>The inbox needs to be triggered to re-order when a new message is submitted.</del><br> <em>Introduced in beta13</em></p> <p>* A full range of automated tests needs to be created for all functionality</p> <h2>Wishlist</h2> <p>The following would be nice to have as well, though the lack of them will not be a blocker to a full release:</p> <p>* Custom themes that users can implement as add-on modules. Right now the system is quite bare-bones.</p> <p>* A popup like on Facebook or Linked In, that shows on the bottom of the screen, without going to the private messages page.</p>
