Patch to add "Inbox" block to Privatemsg

I made a block that shows:
Inbox (x)
Compose Message

Open "privatemsg.module" and copy the code below to the end of the file (but before the "?>" ).

Hope this helps people. Be sure to keep a backup copy of the original .module since this "hack" may not be perfect. I've only tested it under my circumstances and not under all possibilities. Use at your own risk.

----------------------------- COPY BELOW THIS LINE ----------------------
/**
* Implementation of hook_block().
*/
function privatemsg_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0, $edit = array()) {
if ($op == 'list') {
$blocks[0]['info'] = t('Inbox');
return $blocks;
}
elseif ($op == 'view') {
switch ($delta) {
case 0:
return privatemsg_block_inbox();
}
}
}

function privatemsg_block_inbox() {
global $user;

if (user_access('access private messages') && (isset($user->privatemsg_allow) ? $user->privatemsg_allow : 1)) {

$items = array(l(t('Inbox ('. (int)_privatemsg_get_new_messages() .')'), 'privatemsg'), l(t('Compose Message'), 'privatemsg/msgto'));

$block['subject'] = t('Inbox');
$block['content'] = theme('item_list', $items);

return $block;

}

}

Turned into a patch. I'd really like to see this feature added to privatemsg.

Applied against privatemsg.module,v 1.70.2.19.

added code based on this to DRUPAL-5 branch.

It looks like the path to the Privatemsg inbox has changed.

Do you have a preference for that url vs just "privatemsg"? privatemsg/inbox is added just so you can move the menu link around using drupal's menu system, but "privatemsg" is still the inbox too, just as it was before. Unless you prefer to have this patch applied, I'll just leave the block as it is now.

should I apply both patches? the first one and the other that fixes the private message path?

You should not add anything, this is an old issue and doesn't apply to D6.
