Good afternoon, 

I may have already posted this, but the site is being a bit funny...

Firstly, apologies for bumping this old thread, but I can't make it work. 

I have the lines below in the module I'm developing:

                    lblMessages.Text = InternalMessagingController.Instance.CountConversations(UserInfo.UserID, PortalId).ToString("");
                    var messageBoxView = InternalMessagingController.Instance.GetInbox(UserInfo.UserID, 1,
                                                                                                  10000,
                                                                                                  "LastModifiedOnDate",
                                                                                                  true,MessageReadStatus.Any, MessageArchivedStatus.Any);

The 1st line works correctly and returns the number of conversations. However, the 2nd line doesn't return anything, it says there are 0 conversations, which I know it's incorrect. Any ideas on what I';m doing wrong? I'm using dnn 7. 

I could be very happy to use the message center module, but we don't want to allow users to send messages, only receive them (only admins can send messages). If you could tell me how to achieve this without developing a module I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks a lot

Carlos

If I remember correctly, one problem can be the case that in "internalMessagingController.Instance.GetInbox" the argument of UserInfo.UserID is not really being used, on the other words UserID is being set within the method. I was teased by this before before. try to log in and use the method in a Usercontrol that properly set for dotnetnuke development (something like Christoc's DotNetNuke Module Development Template) cross your fingers and you might get to to work !

This internalMessagingController is really a crazy one :) you need some patients with it ! LOL __doPostBack('dnn$ctr1565$Forum_Container$DNNForum$cmdSubmit','')

Thanks a lot for the help, I've managed to make it work with the code below. For some reason, changing the afterMessageID to -1 makes a big difference...oh well. Another question - any idea on how to get the status of the messages? If it's read, unread or archived? I can't find that property either on MEssageConversationView or Message...maybe I'll just have to call the GetInbox multiple times with different statuses...

 

var messageBoxView = InternalMessagingController.Instance.GetInbox(UserInfo.UserID, -1,10000,"CreatedOnDate",
                                                                                                  false,MessageReadStatus.Any, MessageArchivedStatus.Any);

                    foreach (MessageConversationView cv in messageBoxView.Conversations)
                    {
                        Message m = InternalMessagingController.Instance.GetMessage(cv.MessageID);
                        lblMessages.Text += "<br>Date: " + m.CreatedOnDate.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm") + " From: " + cv.From + " Subject: " + cv.Subject + " Body: " + cv.Body;
                    }

 

 

Thanks a lot!
