SP build 7759
PM v1.0.9

I've had a few complaints from users, which I can duplicate, who are unable to send PM's. When composing a PM the "Select From Members" does not autocomplete as you type a username into the form.

Can you try this with the Firefox error console open (clear it out first) or - if you know your way around Firebug even better.

As I say - clear it out first - re-load the inbox page and try the operation. See if any errors are reported (ONLY in the errors tab please!)

I have just tried this and autocomplete works for me BUT it will not autocomplete for Admins only members. I have been trying to send Mr Papa and Yellow Swordfish a PM on this forum using the select from Members box, it does not auto complete. However it will work for Brandon C for example.

So maybe the actual problems is that they cannot get auto complete to work for admins?

mmmm - seems a little more than that but I agree I see some problem.
Will look into it as always. It's one of the problems of readying the code with things like html validation and php notices. You hit a lot of code with very minor cleanup changes but just sometimes hit a nerve. so it could be that. It was definitely fine last time i send a new pm. oh well...

Yes - that's why I said ONLY the errors tab smile as Firefox loves to fill the warnings tab up with al the CSS stuff it can't apply which is often there to compensate for browser incompatibilities.

As you can see above it seems like we have a small problem - we think a knock on from html validation cleanup. Shouldnt be too hard to fix and if I can ever get away from the forums today I might even manage to get to it frown

always the double edge sword... was throwing a few harmless php notices so we fixed them... but fix didnt work across the board because older (much older) versions of sp didnt initialize all options to false if not used, so in those cases, the notice fix actually broke...

its fixed and committed... available in svn or in next plugin update, probably tomorrow...
