Features
- Adds conversation search, with options to search by recipient.
- New Conversation Permissions
- Conversation Message Edit history
- Conversation Title Edit history
- Allow conversations with no-one (default off)
- Users must be a member of the conversation to see the conversation in search results.
- Does not permit moderators/administrators to see another person's conversations in search results.
- Adds each conversation, and conversation message to the XenForo Search store (MySQL or Elastic Search), which may result in a larger search index.
- Just takes away a user's "reply" button, no banners.
- The reply limit is for the entire conversation, but the limit is per user group. Consider when User A & User B are members of a conversation.
- User A can have a reply limit of 5. User B can have a reply limit of 10.
- Once the conversation has >5 replies, User A can no longer post. Once the conversation has >10 replies, User A and User B can no longer post
- Adds edit history for conversation messages.
- Adds edit history for conversation's title, and implements a new moderator permission "Manage Conversations by anyone" to allow non-conversation starters to edit a conversation.
- A global option to allow users to send conversations to just themselves.
- Edit History does not respect/implement any silent editing window.
- This add-on likely will require a higher memory limit (ie <256mb isn't going to cut it) due to extra search results.
For large forums, please try manually adding all the columns in a single step.
