'''Description:''' This mod will allow you to forward a message by simply tapping on the text of a message in the chat view. It does not interfere with the current attachment-tapping behavior. Tapping an attached image ask if you want to forward. Selecting "No" will still prompt for a save, etc., while selecting "Yes" will open a the compose dialog, with the message and attachments pre-populated.

'''Note:''' There is a patch available for the mod. Please see [[Applying Patches]] for instructions.

==Step One: Create the model==

Back up and modify /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/models/messaging-luna-service.js.

After line 10, add the following:
<pre><nowiki>
forwardIdentifier: 'palm://com.palm.applicationManager',

forwardMessage: function(sceneController,messageText,attachment) {
var opts = {
method: 'launch',
parameters: {
id: 'com.palm.app.messaging',
params: {
}
}
};
if (messageText)
opts.parameters.params.messageText = 'FWD: '+messageText;
if (attachment)
opts.parameters.params.attachment = attachment;
return sceneController.serviceRequest(MessagingMojoService.forwardIdentifier,opts);
},

</nowiki></pre>

== Step Two: Make it respond to a tap on the text==

Back up and modify /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/controllers/chatview-assistant.js

Find the function '''handleMessageTap''', starting on line 1480:

The first few lines:
<pre><nowiki>
handleMessageTap: function(event){
var eventTarget = this.controller.get(event.originalEvent.target);

var mmsImageTarget = MessagingUtils.getClassUpChain(eventTarget,'MMSImageObject');
if(mmsImageTarget) {
</nowiki></pre>

And the last few lines:
<pre><nowiki>

MessagingMojoService.getMessageErrorInfo(this.controller, messageData.messageId, messageData.flags, this.handleMessageErrorPopup.bind(this,messageData));

}.bind(this), false);
},
</nowiki></pre>

Replace the entire function with the following:
<pre><nowiki>
handleMessageTap: function(event){
var eventTarget = this.controller.get(event.originalEvent.target);

var mmsImageTarget = MessagingUtils.getClassUpChain(eventTarget,'MMSImageObject');
if(mmsImageTarget) {
var imagePath = mmsImageTarget.getAttribute('originalSrc');
this.controller.showAlertDialog({
onChoose: function(value) {if(value == "forward"){MessagingMojoService.forwardMessage(this.controller, event.item.messageText, imagePath);} else {this.controller.stageController.pushScene('imageview', imagePath);}},
title: $L("Forward Message"),
message: $L("Do you want to forward this message?"),
choices:[
{label:$L("Yes"), value:"forward", type:"affirmative"},
{label:$L("No"), value:"", type:"negative"}
]
});
return;
}

var mmsVideoTarget = MessagingUtils.getClassUpChain(eventTarget,'mms-video');
if(mmsVideoTarget) {
var videoPath = mmsVideoTarget.getAttribute('filePath');
var videoName = mmsVideoTarget.getAttribute('fileInfo');

var args = {
appId: "com.palm.app.videoplayer",
name: "nowplaying"
};
var params = {
target: videoPath,
title: videoName
};
this.controller.showAlertDialog({
onChoose: function(value) {if(value == "forward"){MessagingMojoService.forwardMessage(this.controller, event.item.messageText, videoPath);} else {this.controller.stageController.pushScene(args, params);}},
title: $L("Forward Message"),
message: $L("Do you want to forward this message?"),
choices:[
{label:$L("Yes"), value:"forward", type:"affirmative"},
{label:$L("No"), value:"", type:"negative"}
]
});
return;
}

var mmsVcardTarget = MessagingUtils.getClassUpChain(eventTarget,'mms-vcard');
if(mmsVcardTarget) {
var filePath = mmsVcardTarget.getAttribute('filePath');
this.controller.showAlertDialog({
onChoose: function(value) {if(value == "forward"){MessagingMojoService.forwardMessage(this.controller, event.item.messageText, filePath);} else {this.controller.stageController.pushScene('mmsTextAttachment', filePath);}},
title: $L("Forward Message"),
message: $L("Do you want to forward this message?"),
choices:[
{label:$L("Yes"), value:"forward", type:"affirmative"},
{label:$L("No"), value:"", type:"negative"}
]
});
return;
}

var mmsVcalTarget = MessagingUtils.getClassUpChain(eventTarget,'mms-vcal');
if(mmsVcalTarget) {
var filePath = mmsVcalTarget.getAttribute('filePath');
this.controller.showAlertDialog({
onChoose: function(value) {if(value == "forward"){MessagingMojoService.forwardMessage(this.controller, event.item.messageText, filePath);} else {this.controller.stageController.pushScene('mmsTextAttachment', filePath);}},
title: $L("Forward Message"),
message: $L("Do you want to forward this message?"),
choices:[
{label:$L("Yes"), value:"forward", type:"affirmative"},
{label:$L("No"), value:"", type:"negative"}
]
});
return;
}

if (!mmsImageTarget && !mmsVideoTarget && !mmsVcardTarget && !mmsVcalTarget) {
this.controller.showAlertDialog({
onChoose: function(value) {if(value == "forward"){MessagingMojoService.forwardMessage(this.controller, event.item.messageText, '');}},
title: $L("Forward Message"),
message: $L("Do you want to forward this message?"),
choices:[
{label:$L("Yes"), value:"forward", type:"affirmative"},
{label:$L("No"), value:"", type:"negative"}
]
});
}

MessagingUtils.simpleListClick(this.controller.get(event.originalEvent.target), "chatRow", function(targetRow){
var messageData = {
errorCode: targetRow.getAttribute("errorCode"),
status: targetRow.getAttribute("status"),
messageId: targetRow.getAttribute("messageId"),
flags: targetRow.getAttribute("flags"),
messageType: targetRow.getAttribute("messageType")
};

MessagingMojoService.getMessageErrorInfo(this.controller, messageData.messageId, messageData.flags, this.handleMessageErrorPopup.bind(this,messageData));

}.bind(this), false);
},
</nowiki></pre>

Reboot for changes to take effect.

== Usage ==
To forward a message, open the Messaging application, tap a chat thread, then tap an individual message. A dialog will pop up asking if you would like to forward. If the message has an attachment, it will be forwarded, as well. A new compose card will open with the message text pre-populated. Simply choose the recipient(s).

= Notes =
Patching [[Patch Messaging Character Counter]] will not allow for this patch to work, please take a look into this. -thatdude

If the [[Patch Messaging Character Counter]] patch is applied manually it works fine with this patch. -NetWhiz

Would it be possible to make this into a patch that could be installed with preware? I think this would be much appreciated by people less inclined to root their pre. -The818Studios
