Adding a branch containing a possible solution. It is formatted the way it is so that the context links for recent conversations will be the same as for recent notifications.

Also, I had it link to the full message history instead of just the recent messages. It felt odd clicking on 'view full conversation' then having to click 'full history' to actually get the full history.

I suppose the link name could have been "View this conversation" instead. But if the full history page isn't too long then it's probably better anyway.

hrmmm, I may use that string and change the link. Not sure. I'm just worried that somewhere out there someone will accrue a history of zillions of messages between them and another user. Not sure how realistic that worry is.

Code looks good

I did wind up deciding to go with the string you suggested Martin and having the link go to the last messages between the 2 users rather than a full history.

Branches added and testing instructions updated.

Thanks Andrew, this has been integrated now.

Test result: Success.

Tested under 2.1, 2.2 and master.

Congratulations are in order, you've made it, or at least your code has!
It's now part of Moodle and both the git and cvs repositories have been updated.

This issue is being marked as fixed and closed.

Thank you.
