Well, prior to the meltdown of our server, I was nearing the end of my Alpha 6 battle plan, so I started working on modules to improve Ubercart.org itself. Using a test site I developed the Comment Page module (announced here) and dove into the Private Message module to bring it up to speed. The following key things have been updated:
- The whole user interface has been given a face lift.
- Send messages to multiple users. (includes a contacts list to send from)
- Smarter folder management for filing messages.
- Internal menu redesigned to include intuitive tabs on the displays.
- Really.. it's a rewrite of the existing private message module to be decent.
More improvements can certainly be made, but this has taken much longer than expected so I'm moving on. Maybe some day the contacts list will function like a normal contacts list and file attachments will work. Until then, use email. Eye-wink
Let me know if anything is broken. I've proposed in the module's issue tracker that this be accepted as the 2.0 version of the module, but I don't have the time or capability to turn this into patches. Really, patching would be stupid... the modules should just all be overridden. I understand this takes people looking at and testing the code, so please feel free to test the interface here, download the module for your site use, and go to the issue and give it a +1 for inclusion.
(My improvements have become the new 2.x branch of the Private Message module at Drupal.org, but the download there is missing some files somehow.)
