First Message Appears Blank

Please provide more information.

- Version of PHP/MySQL

- Which theme are you using? (Try to reproduce this with an official theme like Garland)

- Please provide some screenshots and/or, save the broken page including CSS and Images and upload it as a zip file. (With firefox, choose Save as ... Website, complete)

- Is the message always blank or does it show sometimes and sometimes not?

- Remember the thread_id of a message that is broken (visible in the URL, for example, /messages/view/{thread_id}) and then check in your database, table pm_message if the text is saved (thread id is the same as the mid field of that table, SQL to select it is "SELECT * FROM pm_message WHERE mid = {insert_thread_id}"

- Any special character encoding involved (things like arabic, chinese and so on)?

Provide as much information about the points above (you don't need to provide everything but the more, the better) as you can.

Can't see any unusual about your php version.

What modules are you using that interact with Privatemsg? If you have any, disable them one be one and try to reproduce the bug.

If the message body is not stored in your database, you can put the following hooks into a module (any module works as long as you change modulename to the actual module name) and update the author uid if necessary. They should display the value of the message body during validation, before and after save. (untested)

function modulename_privatemsg_message_insert($message) {
  if ($message['author']->uid == 1) {
    drupal_set_message('Body after saving: ' . $message['body']); 
  }
}

function modulename_privatemsg_message_presave_alter($message) {
  if ($message['author']->uid == 1) {
    drupal_set_message('Body before saving: ' . $message['body']); 
  }
}

function modulename_privatemsg_message_validate($message) {
  if ($message['author']->uid == 1) {
    drupal_set_message('Body during validation: ' . $message['body']); 
  }
}

It might be best to put this in a module with a high weight (weight column in system table, you can also choose a module name that starts with z or another character at the end of the alphabet) so that those hooks are executed after all other modules.

Then post messages until the bug happens and if he does, post the output of those messages here. That should help to detect at which point the body gets lost.

Sorry, without further information this issue can only be marked as won't fix.

Feel free to re-open this issue if you want to provide further information. Thanks.
