[AJAX] vB Pager 3.0.4

[mclark2112]

Love this hack...

The server load has increased maybe threefold. Still barely within limits. Would love to see a dynamic shut off valve for when the load gets to a predefined limit...

Also, would love for this to morph into a IM system, it is so close, and I think that would be huge!!!!

[HaYLaZ]

great:D

[TeaTree]

I'd just like to say how brilliant I find this hack and how helpful uae was by helping me install when I had a problem-Thanks very much!

[MustangLisa]

This very cool, thank you. It would be nice to have a "Reply" feature when you receive a page.

[cOuNtErFiET]

all my statusicon images are broken and they are in the folder? whats up?

[uae]

hmm ... seems as if the width set in options isn't used at all?
edit:
same for template "pager_messagelist":
For the Pager message list's page, you will need to edit the templates to change the width and height size, and it is the navbar template and pager_messagelist.

I love this hack but it is causing crashes for me occasionaly. I believe it happens when someone sends a page to someone who is off line.... It happened with the other version too.
Has anyone else encountered this problem???
I recently tried to add the hack Vpager to my new forum (3.5.3) and can't seem to get it to work. All the files are on the ftp and in their correct place, but nothing is showing up in my admin controls to allow user group permissions. I was able to instal this hack successfully on one of my other 3.5.1 forums.

One thing I noticed though is that on the forum where everything works, I must go through a public-html folder to get to my forum folder. On my new forum, the ftp just has a forum folder. Maybe this is the problem??
Any help would be great.
Thanks
This crashes me on IE every time someone sends me a message. Sorry for me it was a great idea but poorly executed. Unless you know a fix...?
PM me an account to your forums with an admin access.

This very cool, thank you. It would be nice to have a "Reply" feature when you receive a page.
That option is already there, just enable it from the usergroup permissions.

all my statusicon images are broken and they are in the folder? whats up?
If you are using more than one style, make sure that you upload the icon images to all of your style statusicon's folders.

[jarcher]

thanks uae

[caimakale]

How much $$$ for a branding free option?

[Totti]

For the Pager message list's page, you will need to edit the templates to change the width and height size, and it is the navbar template and pager_messagelist.

ye, did that ... but shouldn't it work that way on default? Found no other screens, where the size set in options is used

[kenanulas]

[cOuNtErFiET]

you need to go to your Usergroup Manager and set the permissions there for all your usergroups
(i.e. Administrators, Super Moderators, Moderators)

[cOuNtErFiET]

ok now the problem that i have is that it says there is pages unread but when you go there, there isn't any there says No messages to display, also how do you make it so once you send a messge its pops up right away most ppl on my board say they don't get them for like 20 - 30 mins later if they get them at all? any suggestions on how to make this faster for me?

[bashy]

Have you set it so that its on manual refresh?
If so then they will only get the popup when they are activley browsing
I also have the unread message issue as well lol

thank you very much
i resolved problem

[cOuNtErFiET]

where do i set the manual refresh i have entered like 10 seconds and all that in the options so should do that every 10 seconds but i think it is set on active browsing

[Throtex]

This is a great hack, and my users have been enjoying it without too many problems for several weeks now! Great job!

I don't have a lot of resources on my server, so I have to be careful with things like this, but even with only 256M of RAM and ~30 users at a time (peak) everything seems to run ok.

I did however notice a gradual slowdown over the past few days. After having no luck with any mySQL settings (memory use is already well under control) I remembered to purge the deleted messages. That seems to have sped everything back up, though it could have been a coincidence.

Since I haven't had a chance to explore how this script works, I'm not even sure if deleting messages should really have an impact on server loads. Could anyone shed some light on this? I'm guessing the reason there are message limits in the usergroup settings isn't because a few text messages take up a lot of disk space.

If so, it may be useful to introduce an option where messages are purged automatically when read, and perhaps not saved to the sent items list. My users don't like having to delete their messages when they hit the cap, but if storing a lot of messages does nothing to performance I might as well just take the cap off ... no?

Hi uae

Any chance on looking over my issues in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=898494&postcount=493) please

[quanvo81]

no sound plays for me. I mean I can't hear any sound every time a pager message popup, only registered users can hear the sound, other than that, other user groups can't hear, like admin etc..

[Allan]

Very nice, thanks for this hack :)

I have a question about installation. (I am not a programmer.)

The installation instruction lists three steps:

Step 1. Upload all the files from the "files" directory in this zip into your forum directory.
Step 2. Import product-pager.xml as a new product.
Step 3. Edit templates as instructed below.

I know how to complete Step 1 and Step 3, but I don't know what Step 2 means exactly. How do I "import product-pager.xml as a new product"?
Your tip is immensely appreciated.

Be sure you are runing vB 3.5.X and log into the admin cp. Towards the bottom of the left menu will be a typical drop down menu called plug ins. Open it and click manage product. Once that page is loaded there will be a link in the main frame that says import product.

[FROGGYJ]

fixed, nevermind

oops delete.

Here's one i havent seen anyone post.

Warning: Division by zero in /includes/functions.php on line 1821

This is appearing in the popups when trying to delete your messages.

This is happening in IE and FF.

Also, an issue with this only working when someone is in the usercp, on the forum index page the system doesnt work.

[snakes1100]

Hi

I have not been able to send a message using Firefox, its as if the character limit is set to 0. I have checked this with my admin account also and still have the sam issue.

Also the page popup windows also grab my side blocks therefore makes it look a right mess...If you want a test account please let me know and i will pm you :)

Aslo still says xx amount pager messages in the navbar although they been deleted :(


Not sure on the first issue, most likely mkportal is causing all your issues.

The deleted issue and messages still showing up in the navbar is this. This total is actually the amount of messages the user has sent in total on the system and is not deleteable by the user, to remove that total you need to prune the system.

Im assuming maybe eau is grabbing the wrong info for that total from the DB, it should be grabbing the total from the amount of messages in the users inbox/sent box and combine that total together.

You can simply remove that call from the navbar or eau needs to grab the correct info. Ill look into it more as i dont like it either.

[m-e-h.com]

Your Hack is great, but it has one problem:
The AJAX refresh (to check for new messages) generates traffic - even to users who deactivated the pager.
Next problem: The refresh is done at all opened windows / tabs.

So if a user has deactivates the pager and opens 5 tabs / windows he has about 7 kb traffic every x seconds for a feature he don't want to use.
This is a big disadvantage for users with volume-based tariffs and for us because we probably have to pay for this additional and unnecessary traffic.

Is it possible solve this problem?

Thx!

:)
A pager message is only stored once, it's only a record which points to the message text, so the message you have sent and see in your sent items is the same message the recipients gets and see in their inbox, so it's not a duplicate of the same message.
Messages are purged automatically if marked as deleted from both side.
Sure I can have an option where it would mark a message as a deleted message just after you click on the close or the reply button, but again, some people wants to have a record "log" of their conversation and maybe, download "export messages" them later.

You can always force members to clear their inbox/sent items by restricting number of messages they can store.
It should not have an impact on the server loads.

Thx!Thank you sir,
There is an option where some usergroup can send pager messages to users with pager turned off, and we should call all the functions and queries, even if they trund the pager off.

I don't think I can do anything about the mutli windows part, but you can always turn the AJAX check to 0 and have the pager pops up manually, so there will be no AJAX check.

Allright, this option was activted. One problem less... ;)
/edit
I'm sorry, but it doesn't work. I deactivated the pager but I still have traffic every x seconds. :disappointed:

I don't think I can do anything about the mutli windows part, but you can always turn the AJAX check to 0 and have the pager pops up manually, so there will be no AJAX check.
This would be a solution - but not a good one, because in this case, you coluld use the private message-system instead of the pager.

First possible sulution: A seperate pager-window.
Second possible solution: The reload-time or the whole reload-options could be set by the user within preset - admin-defined - ranges. Maybe with a hint like "This can produce additional traffic...".

Many thanks to uae. Since you was on my forum, and fix the logout bug, everything works just perfect. Thank you very much.

I'm on my way to work right now. So I'm sorry for not searching the thread.. But I have the hack installed and running with the exception of the message window poping up. Does anyone know why it won't show up? I've checked everything I know of in the options and still nothing. Please help. :nervous:

My Internet Explorer is Crashing when a new Pager Message received?
vB Pager hack does not like the use of custom color scrollbar, so you if you are using a custom css for the elements of a scroll bar, remove it from your css.


I have looked through and searched through this topic and found no reference on how to remove it..

Could someone just give me a step by step?

[Totti]

Open the install-instructions and follow them from button to top ;)
[uploading becomes deleting and so on]

But be careful, before installing hacks you should know roundabout what you are doing ;)

[Tracer Gun Kata]

When Uae was testing this on my site, he also found that removing the css scroll code helped prevent the IE crashing.

How was this done? I use an Ambience Skin and I am having the IE crashing problem.

[wolfyman]

First off - AWESOME hack, I love the heck out of it!!!

I recently installed the pager, and around the same time my paid subscriptions stopped working. Could this have anything to do with it? The pager is only available to my paid subscribers.

[m-e-h.com]

Second possible solution: The reload-time or the whole reload-options could be set by the user within preset - admin-defined - ranges. Maybe with a hint like "This can produce additional traffic...".

Well I found a way to realize that - it's just "quick and dirty" but the problem is solved:

I added a profile-field (text) where you can enter a refresh-time in seconds and in Template "PAGER" I replaced var refreshtime = {$vboptions['vbpager_ajax_refresh']};
with var refreshtime = (parseInt("0$bbuserinfo[field14]",10) > $vboptions[vbpager_ajax_refresh]) ? parseInt("0$bbuserinfo[field14]",10) : $vboptions[vbpager_ajax_refresh];

What's going up?
The user enters a time X in the UserCP. It's been compared with the preset time Y defiened by the admin. If the user-time is higher than the admin-time, the refresh is done all X seconds.
If the user enters a time which is lower than the Y or anything other than a nuber, teh refres will be done all Y secons.

Maybe you could possibly include a function like that in the next version?!

actually, does any one know what i would need to do to add this pager pop up to work on my store software/external to vb. So that if they enter the shop gallery or auction software, it would still pop up? Is this do-able, it would then be utimatly awesome, not that it isnt already mind...

[The Geek]

I have to say, I have just installed minutes ago so im still getting to grips with it however I wanted to say that I am wayyy impressed. Job well done. HOTM well deserved.

[themajor]

Was wondering if anybody else had this proble. When viewing the pager in IE, I get a red X box in thread headings in between the number of the thread and the ip address icon. I only get this problem in IE, not Mozilla.

I checked my ftp and all the image files are loaded correctly. The Postbit and postbit_legacy code all look correct too.

If anybody can help me with this, that would be great.

i am having a problem where someone will send a page but it wont go through for X amount of time. i had one that took over 24 hours to pop up.

is this a known issue

[Fusion.nl]

Finally, we went from 3.0.7 to 3.5 and got everything looking the way it was after a full month of tinkering. And today was the day that i could install the new vbpager. And it ROCKS. It does everything i would have hoped it would do.

You UAE are GOD! :classic:

One question though. We only use the vb pager system for admins to sent messages to eachother and to other members. We DO want those other members, who dont have access to vb pager, to reply when we sent them a message, but we dont want them to sent us a message first. But if they reply (and we ticked on the allowe reply box) they get a message that they are not allowed to use vb pager.

It was possible with the old vb pager vor vB 3.0.x, but I cant seem to figure it out for 3.5. Something I miss?

Could someone just give me a step by step?

just delete the files in reverse order of the install and remove the xml first........should remove the entire modification.

and not being rude but, Quit annoying, I should say. this is not really called for. I wish i knew half of what uae know's when it come's to .php....I know it is frustrating when a hack/program doesn't work right the first time, but it take's time to perfect this large of a hack/program.
I have it working on my website, myself and my member's totally enjoy it. It is used more then the pm system.

Anyways, let me know if you need any help with the uninstall........like i stated earlier, it should just be a matter of following the install instruction's backwards...

[bushka]

Awesome hack, excellent work to be honest...

Weird thing I get is that some fields appear over the message, I presume this happens to all and is something we have to live with, maybe its come up before, maybe its my skin....

[Taylor123]

about how long does it take to install this one?

[Fusion.nl]

Took me 5 minutes. :)

[hotwheels]

Weird thing I get is that some fields appear over the messagedoes that with mine too. If you move the box using your mouse, it leave's the item that was blocking the reply box........and you can send your message.

I have a problem with this on my forum, and i think its a problem maybe with IE6, i as admin cannot sens a pager, screen comes up but when i try to type in the screen the first letter i press deletes straight away so i cannot send messages, so i reported this problem on my forum and i recieved messages from other members, the one difference is they are using different browsers

Help Please

[bashy]

You may have set you character amount for admin to 0

This is not good you need to actually put in an amount there else you get the issue you have stated!!

Can this be made to work off the same principle you have in the send message and the pager buddy list where it is open in one single popup window when you click page user it pops up in a new window I am finding that my IE crashes on me when I have multi pages on my site open and I get the pager msg on say 2-4 pages at once not to mention what it does to server load when this happens with several ppl who have several pages open at once when recieving a page..

I think if this could be made to pop open in a new window and show your message and option to reply it might work better than having it embedded in the page I know it was done on the pager buddie list, message list, send new page etc so can it be done to pop up when you have a new message and show the message in a new lil window..more important in 1 window instead of 3,4,5 or how many you happen to have open with your url..

[LadyJo]

I do have my own issues though, some of my members cannot send pagers or receive them. They are in usergroups that are enabled, they have all the right permissions, they just cannot do it and they never receive any either.. is this a known bug or something on my end??


any ideas yet as to why this may be happening. IT shows they have messages in the field up to the right, but they cannot read them nor do they pop up. They have pop ups enabled for the site and still nothing. Also we have the same issue with some pages taking a whole day to show to the receiver.

Thanks

^You can try this check list. I tried it, and it didnt work. Gave uae an admin acount he tells me to upgrade to the latest version and prune everyone's pages. Some members still have the same problem as you.
This is how I would go about debugging my Hack (vB Pager)

1- I will make sure that my Forum's running at least vBulletin 3.5.0 or up.
2- I will make sure that I am using the latest stable browser (IE, FireForx, etc...)
3- I will make sure that all files are uploaded and I have imported the product, then check all the template edits.
4- I will look into the vB Pager Permissions under the Usergroup Manager for each usergroup that I want to give the permission to use vB Pager and set the desired permissions.
5- I will look into the vB Pager Options from the ADMINCP, and set all the desired options.
6- I will look into the vBulletin Options from the ADMINCP, and check the Forum URL (Site Name / URL / Contact Details) and make sure I got the correct url to my forum. (See the attached file)

7- If I still got a problem, I'll try the hack with the defualt vB Style (unmodified templates) just the pager hack template edits.

9- If you tried all the above and none help, then it's either I suck or you suck, hey just kidding, send me a PM with a user account to your forum and let me take a look at it :)

Great System, thank you for creating this. Installed quickly and easily. I even ran the database queries to get the sound to work as default which was a big technical accomplishment for me.

Excellent work!

When I try to use this feature, a box pops up to tell me I don't have permission to use it...?

[wholemama]

any ideas yet as to why this may be happening. IT shows they have messages in the field up to the right, but they cannot read them nor do they pop up. They have pop ups enabled for the site and still nothing.

One thing I've found is that users must put www in front of the site addy when they navigate to the site (as I have it defined in the CP) or it won't work for them.

[Xplorer4x4]

Then delete the WWW from the Admin CP setting. ;)

[wholemama]

Yes I would like to be able to make it so that sent messages do not get saved for ANYONE. They tend to build up fairly quickly..


This is something that I'm getting asked a lot for too. People want to have the ability to turn the save off. The ones who use it a lot are getting pretty annoyed with having to delete them out several times a day when they don't want them in the first place.

[wholemama]

Then delete the WWW from the Admin CP setting. ;)

And then the people who do put it in can't use it. ;) Tried that!

It just seems like the reliance on that setting is a wee bit too strict.

[Xplorer4x4]

And then the people who do put it in can't use it. ;) Tried that! Exactly, there is no need to do it so all they do is click the pager links. Why wouldnt you make the process click and page rather then click, add WWW and then page?

It just seems like the reliance on that setting is a wee bit too strict.
Perhaps but this is not going to affect the board, so why not do it and make this hack easier to use?

[Xplorer4x4]

I am using FireFox 1.5 and oddly I noticed that upon recieving pages a pop up bad showed up telling me I was missing required plug ins. I clicked to see what plug ins I needed for firefox and I see it directed me to Apple Quicktime.

I am not sure what this means but I hope it helps.

[lightwave]

I found a little mistake:

Maximum Characters Per Pager Message: (set to 0 to disable)
This is not really correct, since it sets the Maximum Characters to 0 (every Character you type in gets deleted again).

[wholemama]

Exactly, there is no need to do it so all they do is click the pager links. Why wouldnt you make the process click and page rather then click, add WWW and then page?

Ok...think we may have some wires crossed here...

When someone comes to the board in general is when they have the problem.

Some people type www.mysite.com to get to the board, some people type mysite.com. Just difference of personal preference.

If the setting in the Admin CP is www.mysite.com/forum, then those that go to mysite.com/forum can't use the pager. And if the setting is mysite.com/forum, then those that go to www.mysite.com/forum can't use the pager.

Is this making sense? I mean...that's just a semantics issue. And it seems like users do things differently, and this in a way punishes them for not doing it the "right" way.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou



I had this problem aswell.

Makesure you perform this edit for it to work and for the message to pop-up.

In the template: footer
=============================
FIND
=============================
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Main vBulletin Javascript Initialization
vBulletin_init();
//-->
</script>
=============================
BELOW ADD
=============================
<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.0' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->
<if condition="$vboptions['vbpager_active'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid']">$pagermessage</if>
<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.0' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->



If it does not work, add it above. I had to add it above.

This is the fix for the unread message problem. The problem I ran into is that when I did the template search it found the wrong spot in the template and I didn't watch to see it was wrong. This should be place at the very bottom of the footer template.

[Langly]

When your in the forums and click on a users name, you get a drop-down menu with options like "view users threads, views their profile", etc. How can I add the Pager as an option to that list? This way I don't have to click their name, go to their profile, click on send a Page message.

Also, how can add a Pager message option to the Who's Online menu under the Instant Message section?

[sebbe]

This seems like a very nice hack, I ain't gonna use it though since my community isn't too big yet. But I'll consider it for the future! :)

You can alleviate your users typing in domain.com instead of www.domain.com by adding this to your .htaccess file (this redirects them to the correct url....the www.domain.com )


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This also has the added benefit of keeping your "PageRank" juice to just the "www.domain.com" version of your site and eliminates possible "duplicate content" penalty that some search engines may see from having the same content at domain.com and www.domain.com. FWIW

P.S. you should put this above any other RewriteCond or RewriteRules you have (and just below "RewriteEngine On") and obviously substitute domain.com with your real domain name.

am woundering, is there a change to add NEXT and Prev buttons to the popup window to read the next msg or get back to the prev one, as many times we reply to somthing and found out the next msg did not require our reply, or have to refresh the page to read the next..

Kind regards.

1. when you go to click "Pager Messages: " it takes you to a flase part of the forum where you see little red x's any idea how to fix this!?

When you update your IE with the optional Update KB912945, the vBPager-Popup is deactivated under a windows popup
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
This is a change because the EOLAS patent and it will be in all further cumultative patches of the IE and also in the IE 7 final.

It is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/activating_activex.asp

What changes have I to make to get rid of this windows pop-up? As far as I understand, the function must be no embedded but an external call.

Any suggestions? Even if I uninstall the patch - it will be just a question of time when the problem pops up again.

can this be done?

UAE, could you please have a look at my question. ;)

One question though. We only use the vb pager system for admins to sent messages to eachother and to other members. We DO want those other members, who dont have access to vb pager, to reply when we sent them a message, but we dont want them to sent us a message first. But if they reply (and we ticked on the allowe reply box) they get a message that they are not allowed to use vb pager.

It was possible with the old vb pager vor vB 3.0.x, but I cant seem to figure it out for 3.5. Something I miss?

From phpMyAdmin, run this query:
ALTER TABLE user CHANGE pageroption pageroption SMALLINT( 6 ) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;
Now, let's do the same thing but for all existing users.
Run this query:

I'm sorry but I didn't get it!
you want to page some user while selecting allow reply, but you don't want them to reply and instead show an error message saying that they're not allowed to reply??
are trying to humiliate your users lol.
Why don't you just uncheck the allow to use reply from the usergroup permissions and never show allow reply option!

[EasyTarget]

I think what he's saying is that users can't respond to pager messages that they get from the admins because they don't have permission to use the system.

he would like it if anyone who gets sent a pager could reply to the pager message regardless if they're allowed to send a pager themselves.

The problem occurs with IE 6 with the specified Patch, not IE 7.

[jilly]

Hw would I put an option in the navbar to page? Or do you have to start it only by paging a specified user?

What i want to do is put a button on the navbar that says 'page', and when you click it, you go to the list of online users, or the basic pager screen

[looped]

Wow, not sure if it's a user issue/browser issue or what, but all the sudden the last week or so, we've had an obscene amount of database queries with this. We are in the process of pm'ing those people to see if they were doing something they shouldnt be, or if there was something else going on. We were hitting our 64000 queries per hour in like 40 minutes :/. Ever heard of anything like that happening??

[Fusion.nl]

Read the topic i'd say. The shorter the AJAX refresh time and the larger the userbase using vbpager, the more quiries you get.

[looped]

Yea, but these were multiple, extended multiple hits per second type things. not like a 5 second refresh.

edit, and a follow up, i was talking to a few members that said when they would open up vbpager, it would seem like it wanted to constantly refresh, they said you could hear it just constantly 'clicking' on a refresh, actually to the point of crashing their browser sometimes...

[The Geek]

Yea, I just set the Refresh to 0 to disable the default 15 as the queries were bringing my site to its knees. Everything seems cool now :)

Just have to say again that this is one sweet enhancment.

[Tulsa]

Well I've tried everything I can think of. I had the 3.01 on my site working great now for a while. Then all of a sudden it began acting strange. No longer in the reply box would the text count down but when you sent the reply the original message would reappear the screen would refresh and take you to the main page.

No one seems to get the pages that are sent after the original page. I upgraded to 3.04 and redid all the edits. Same thing.

Must be another hack I've done as it was working fine. Well I've disabled every hack one at a time with no change in the pager.

I'm lost at this point.

Hi everyone. This thing is great! I have one problem with it though. For some reason, if I click the link to go to the inbox the pager window redirects to my homepage after the inbox loads. My forum is in my site's root folder. Anyone got any ideas as to why and (hopefully) a fix?

Must be another hack I've done as it was working fine. Well I've disabled every hack one at a time with no change in the pager.

I'm lost at this point.

It appears to be an issue with Firefox 1.5 Both PC and MAC. You can send an original page you just can't reply to a page and it brings your back to the main page.

It's working in Opera on a MAC but the popup window appears at the bottom of the page and you really don't know it's there unless you scroll down to see it.

It seems to be working fine in IE on a PC.

I use FireFox 1.5 on a PC and I have absolutley o problems with this hack except for the pop up telling me to upgrade my Quicktime which I do not want to do as I need Quicktime 6 for cutting GIFs in Adobe ImageReady.

I this is a client side issue, not a browser side issue.

I believe it might be setting off an active x alert for IE users on my site.

[Tulsa]

That's just it, I've been running this on FF 1.5 for months without issues and all of a sudden it's got issues. I was running version 3.1 and happy with it and didn't upgrade to 3.4 because I was happy. I only upgraded after it started having problems. Which is why I thought it was probably another hack I had done but that proved to be wrong.

The fact it's working on Opera (somewhat) and on IE but not FF, lead me that direction. Whatever it is, it just started and upgrading made no difference.

The text box that shows the # of characters left is seemingly the issue as best I can tell. In IE and Opera and used to in FF, those characters would count down as you typed to show what you had left. Now in FF, they stay constant even though it will take what you type in the box. It won't send it though. Once you hit send, your screen refreshes and the same pager message you received is back again and the person you replied to will not receive anything.

This is what FF is telling me.

If I'm in a sub board I get this.

I love this hack uae. The updated version seems to work perfect on my site nad users rant and rave about the hack.

Just one thing, why call it vB Pager. Why not vB Instant Messanger? :p I changed the phrases to say instant messages rather then pager messages.

Yea, I just set the Refresh to 0 to disable the default 15 as the queries were bringing my site to its knees. Everything seems cool now :)

You have to maually set the AJAX check period in the pager setting as it can be very server intensive.

Also uae, again I love this hack. It is so much easier then getting that anoying PM pop up, clickin ok, then cancel as i get pop up blocker error in FireFox if dont open in same window. Then reading, replying, and sending. Love it, and easily my favorite hack of all as far as user end goes. I have a few that top it on the admin end. ;)

Just one question, in forefox it tells me to update quicktime, but I dont want to. Why is it this hack is trigering quicktime update? :confused:

Cant believe I only found this now zzzzzzzz this is awesome, i am going to install it now, and let you know how everything goes shortly.

[Hornstar]

When I click on vb pager from the navbar the window comes up with nothing in it, i think its a 404 or something. Any reason that would cause this, I did all the admincp options, but have not done the usergroup options because i couldnt find them

In usergroup manager, I do not have any vb pager options to modify users permissions, Have i not done something for this to not show, or should i uninstall the hack and install it again?

edit, i think this is a problem with my host, i just noticed the pictures in the image directory are not showing, however they are showing on my host.

Secondly, I am going to recomend uninstalling and reinstalling the product and see if that helps. Proabbly will not, but it sounds to me like it is not creating the needed database table.

Hi,

Great hack and definately something I'd like to add to my site, but 2 questions

1) Does this use the censor list that my posts use?
(I don't want people to be able to use censored words, just like on the forum where they are automatically *'d out)

2) Are the messages logged?
(In cases of abuse I can check people's PMs if they report someone sending abusive messages to them, does this store messages on the database?)

Thanks

What I should fill in Forum Directory Name under vB Pager Options if my forum has a url like http://forum.site.com ?

1) yes, if you have censored words, that's what they will see in the shoutbox.

2) Yes, if you click on the word SHOUTBOX on the actual box as displayed, it will bring you to a new page where you can look at what was posted and what was said........

Anyone know why Ajax works on my home PC, but not the one in my office?

[Jordan17]

Hey.

I am using this feature for mods only, and I intend to keep it that way. The only problem is that all of my regular members can see the vbPager icon button next to every users posts. I don't want them to be able to see it, I want it to be visible to mods only. How can I do this?

[simalert]

If you don't want it at all, you can remove the postbit and legacy postbit code and the icon won't show then. This means that no one can see it.

If you want it there for mods only then I presume it's a case of using the IF command to check which group the user's in. I'm not sure how do to that, but you could take a look at the code around it to see how any moderator only options are dealt with and then apply it to the code for this icon.

[Jordan17]

Thanks simalert. If anyone does know how to use the IF statement to show the icon for certain groups only, that would be great!

Also : When you use the "Hide name" function and it displays the vbPager icon instead of the avatar, along the top bar instead of saying From Jordan, it says From : N/A.

How do I change it so that instead of saying N/A it says Administrator or System or something?

[Xplorer4x4]

New Bug:
I have recentley installed 2 hacks, extra hear/footer on forum home, and extra header/footer in forums. I disabled them both but it seems that now when I send a page it takes me back to to forum home.

[Tulsa]

Now see if you can reply to a post and you see the countdown of the characters in the pager box.

[Xplorer4x4]

Now see if you can reply to a post and you see the countdown of the characters in the pager box.
Yes, it starts at 0 but as soon as I type it starts counting down from the charechter limit(600 on our forums)

[Tulsa]

That's still my problem with Firefox. I can get them fine but can't reply. I can reply with everything else but to reply with Firefox I have to simply open a new pager window.

I gave UAE a admin login to my board but I guess he's been busy, he's not used it to check this out yet.

[Xplorer4x4]

Yeah I provided a log in to him before(previous issues) and it took him several days to check it out.

Just one question, how can I turn on people's messaging from buddy list only by default?

Currently everyone has to select this in their usercp, but I'd like to make this option default please?

How can I set a cron job to clear the logged pager messages out for all users one every 24 hours?

On mine and it sounds the same, you can receive a page or send an original page but you can't reply to a page. If you do, the screen refreshes to the main screen and the page widow simply pops back up.

Mine version was 3.1 when this started and I upgraded to 3.4 to see if that was the fix and nothing changed.

[jarcher]

it might be a hack confliction
did you change anything on your board when it stopped?

[jarcher]

ok. .I created a new style
with only the pager hack
now it works in ff, just fine

it is a hack conflict
just need to narrow it down

[Tulsa]

Maybe I can expect IE to begin doing it as well then? Right now, IE is fine and it will function well in Opera except for the fact the page received in Opera shows at the bottom of your page and underneath your viewable area unless you happen to be at the bottom of your own page when you receive it. But at least you can reply with Opera.

The hack confliction is the first thing I tried and I removed all the hacks I had done since installing the pager but nothing changed.

QueenBee, do me a favor and look in your admincp, where the vbpager option is......scroll down to vB Pager AJAX Check Periodand set that to 0.......then scroll down to vB Pager Display Window Refresh Periodset this to 50 and lastly scroll down to Floodcheck - Minimum Time Between Pager Messagesset this one to 0

Let me know what that does for your pager system..........

What would the SQL statement be if I wanted to set all my members to default accept incoming pages and use the system? for some reason when I upgraded they are all set to no now.

Thanks!!

[Jordan17]

Hey people.

Earlier I posted saying that I only wanted to use this system for moderators & admins to use, so I have only Admins & Mod's groups allowing it.

The problem was that everyone on the board could see the icons to send a pager message, the links in every users profiles and it still shows up in the quick links.

Not good to have something showing to everyone when all it does is say "You are not allowed to use vbPager" when they click on it...is it?

So, after some playing around I found that if you go into...

- Postbit / postbit_legacy template
- MEMBERINFO template
- navbar template

and find where it says <--- [Start vbPager HACK..... ...../ ----> (in between these)
....

wrap <if condition="$show['pager']"> and </if> around the code and then it will only become visible to those groups who are allowed to us vbPager.

Hope this helps some people.

[Ramsesx]

Maybe a bug, if there are around 2000 messages stored the pager system is not working more. After deleting them all now everything is fine.

[uae]

Maybe a bug, if there are around 2000 messages stored the pager system is not working more. After deleting them all now everything is fine.From the database sturcture of the vb pager hack, that shoud not be a problem, but you might want to check with your host porvider where they might have a row limitation per tables!

[Tulsa]

Well Uae popped onto my system yesterday! :) Thank you kindly sir!

He found the footer was the issue. He moved his code to the top of the footer and everything worked out fine. Not sure why though as the only other code there was my google ad and that's been there since before the pager but hey, I don't care, it's working again.

HUGE PROPS to Uae for going that extra mile in support! :)

[ERuiz]

First of all, what a hack! I LOVE IT! I am even considering disabling the PM system, so people use only VBPager.

Anyway, I have a question. On my site, I have a Flash Banner being displayed and sometimes, when VBPager pops up with an incoming message, any part of the VBPager window that overlaps the banner, will be BEHIND the flash banner, and I cannot read the contents of the message.

And if the area where one clicks to drag the window, falls behind the flash banner, then I can't possibly move the window.

Any help on this? Thanks in advance!

[Replicators]

I'd love to be able to use this, but it don't like IE very well, and sometimes when people tried to type something in the messenger it auto-deleted them. I hope this get's updated soon to fix those problems though cause this is something i have wanted for awhile, but it's too buggy as it is.

[Lover1]

Installed that great "product" and everything works fine. BUT: when i ban a userid, in this case is was "9606", NOBODY could send a pagermessage anymore. Can somebody confirm that bug ?

[thumbsucker]

Hmmm. Couldn't get it to work.

When I sent a message to a user, nothing "popped up". And even though it says they have a pager message, there's nothing in their inbox.

Shame...

Hi

I do have a small question regarding your hack.

I installed it today, and it works without any problems, but I would need advice for a little improvement.

I want the messenger symbol to be shown in the who is online list right to the username.

May you provide some code please.

your

Markus

[ryancooper]

What code actully makes the popup appear. Everything works perfect on all pages Except the VBPROARCADE pages? They all have the same header and footers i think. . .

Thanks

[Replicators]

You know, one thing i don't understand is why this hack logs messages in the first place, it's a pager, it's not email or pm. I would say get rid of logging the messages, because some people would spam the hell out of the messenger, making the log quite extensive. It would only be a matter of time before it started slowing down the site. I REALLY REALLY want to install this, but with the flaws it has, argh i will just install anyways, but if people complain again i will uninstall.

I can see where they would love it, but the log issue could become a problem on a large site.

Do you mind if I ask how many concurrent sessions you have, and what effect the pager system has had on your server?

I typically have about 200 users online at any given time, and they are very chatty...verrrrrrrry. I love them for it, but I panic on things that might bring my server to its knees.

Isn't there a cron job running that's deleting all the read messages every hour?

Set to mark all read messages as deleted messages after being read by end users and prune them automaticly every one hour with cron job.(v3.0.4)

Question for those who have this installed onto their board:

How does the inclusion of a board "instant mesage" service affect the activity of your board? Has their been a drop in activity due to the emergence of a separate venue of communication between members, or has activity actually risen? Perhaps it's the same? I'm truly interested in acquiring this hack but much like shoutbox, I'm hesitant to do so if it might jeopardize the present activity of the forum.

Thanks!

I typically have about 200 users online at any given timeNa, mine isn't even close to that number............I am lucky to have 7 or 8 member's on at one time. Even luckier if i get more then a total of 50 users/lookers in one day.......

Is this working on 3.5.4?yes

How does the inclusion of a board "instant mesage" service affect the activity of your board? Has their been a drop in activity due to the emergence of a separate venue of communication between members, or has activity actually risen?mine has stayed about the same, but when a user is online and want's to talk or ask a question in private, then the pager system work's perfectly. If you want to send something to someone whom isn't online, then the private message works, because they will recieve the message when they log on......the shoutbox work's good for those that are chatter box's.....i think it is a great asset to our communities, and seem's to keep member's at our site's longer........

I ran into an error.

Installation went fine, but users, including myself, were unable to find a reply button on the instant message boxes. I've triple-checked the settings, including the usergroup permissions, and nothing.

Where do I mess up?

Can Use Allow Reply Option When Paging Another User

2nd to last option.

[cayote]

Checked and rechecked all my edits but it doesn't work.

I see this in upper right: Pager Messages: Unread 2, Total 12.
But no messages show up in inbox. Sent items DO show.
So...it's doing something but not actually sending the messages. Any ideas?

Thanks

[jazde86]

Whats up with the scrollbars in "Send Message"-Window? Where can I "put it throw away"? ;)

Thanks for help.

The only problem I have found is that on the forumhome page under where it says private mesages.. the link to the Pager is..when you click on that it just brings you back to the index. What could I have done wrong?

I've searched this thread, perhaps if I missed something regarding my question anyone could point me to the post#.

I've been tinkering trying to get the pager JS on forumhome in its own JS file... any ideas on how I can do this or what it may require to be done?

Thanks.
