as promised, here's my first pass at views integration for privatemsg. It is definitely a first pass, with a lot of functionality missing. What it does do:
- exposes privatemsg as a base table for views, allowing you to create views of messages.
- provides all of the fields from the pm_index and pm_message tables as fields for views
- provides a message field handler that will link a subject to the message view
- provides a handful of filters
- provides relationships to the user table, for both recipient and author
- provides a default view of an inbox. this is really just a proof of concept so that reviewers don't need to create a view to review the patch.
This patch works much better in conjunction with #502664: remove author uid from pm_index. Otherwise you will see messages that you have sent in your inbox.
Also check out #502666: devel_generate functionality to help create a bunch of messages for testing!

Well, the problem is that this does display each message on it's own. While this might work, you cannot view that message then, because the links point to messages/view/{mid}. However, that needs to be messages/view/{thread_id}. But then, you view the thread, and not the message.

There is another views integration patch at #502688: Views integration

damn i reallllly hoped this module had a views integration... any idea how long it would take for a views integration?
#4
For messages? Long, because our queries to select them correctly ( with threads and everything) are really complex and cannot be converted to a view easily. However, there is a patch that adds a "send user a message" link integration for views, that can be used for node and user listing...
#5
would it be possible to get the query to select messages from the module source, and with a little bit of tweaking place that in a block. I don't necessarily need it to be in a view, but i would need it in a block.
// i would only need the title, participates and date to show, when they click a row they would be send to the messages page with the clicked message
#6
You don't even need the query, we have a API function for that, see #492822: to display latest 5 (more or less) messages

awesome thanks!

This is looking great. One minor issue:
I can't work out how to create a delete message link. (sorted)Also, it would be great if it integrated with flags.
