Adding additional fields to PM form?

Caylus

Basically, I'd like PMs to have subjects, so it's easier to track 'm.

Now I've found that it's rather easy to render a subject ("this is a test subject" will show up just beside the name of the user you're messaging):

public function messagesController_beforeMessagesAll_handler($sender)
            {
        $convos=$sender->EventArguments['Conversations'];
//Add a subject to the first PM in the list
        $sender->EventArguments['Conversations'][0]['Subject']="this is a test subject";
            }

But of course, you want to give the user the ability to set the subject when creating the PM.
I tried messagesController_afterFormInputs_handler, but that one doesn't seem to fire.

Is there any plugin already available that adds subjects to PMs, or does anyone know how to add a text field to the new message form?

River

do you mean the config statement to allow subjects?

$Configuration['Conversations']['Subjects']['Visible'] = true;

IIRC every new message will prompt for subject when new pm is started. but it won't affect old pms if no subject was added.

Well that was surprisingly more straightforward that I thought.

Thanks man! Exactly what I was looking for!
