Hey.

When I want to send a Pager to everyone thats online, I click the checkbox at the top and it highlights everyone, then I click on Send Pager and it takes me to the box where I enter the message.

The message box stretches so it can fit all members in.

Not great when you have 100+ members online and there is a scrollbar at the bottom so big that it takes forever to scroll through.

Where can I edit the textbox to make it a fixed width?

Make sure that the sound file is in the correct place, Turned On from ADMINCP/ vB Pager Options, and from your Options.

i did and it is....other members that have firefox can hear it but no one with IE can hear it...

a ton of javascript here

<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.0' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->

I want to put that JS "into" a .js file and include it. This way I don't have a huge knot of javascript at the bottom of the my pages in the source.

Sorry for being unclear, let me know if that made more sense. Thanks for your time and help uae, it is very appreciated.

First of all, very nice product! ;-)

I want to know how can I integrate the buddy list from vB Pager and vBulletin's original buddy list.

My users constantly adds friends to their buddy list nad it won't be nice to make them add all users again.

Thanks!

That is not only in the forumhom, it is attached to the footer template, and I don't think we can have it or call it from a js file, sorry but that will require a lot of modifactions to many places with the hack.

Thanks!vbulletin's buddy list has its own restriction where a user in your ignore list will not be able to send you a pm, you won't be able to see their posts..etc, I don't know if you want to have someone in your pager ignore list and you don't want to see his/her posts nor get a PM from, it's not that I did not want to integrate both lists, but vbulletin should change the way their buddy list system works.

pageroption, pagerpermissions and pagerbuddylist are not tables, these are fields in the user and usergroup tables!

Not in the navbar, useroptions or anywhere else?

This is a great extension, thanks UAE.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before somewhere, but I have a request for a future release, which is the ability for Administrators to read PM's to help limit abuse.

I have a similar problem. I have installed this on two forums hosted by different companies. They all worked fine, but now all the options on the foums and anything to do with vbPager have gone.

The usergroup settings are there however. Even the text on the navbar bit has gone.

Nothing has been altered with the templates as far as I know.

I keep getting these in my mysql slow query log. For some reason it is hitting my server hard, causing mysqld to spike the cpu for a few minutes at a time, and causing my server to become unresponsive.

I've had to disable the pager because of this, and my members are not happy about it. That isn't your problem, of course :p I was just hoping you could give me an idea of why it is doing this.

I've tracked this problem down the the hourly cleanup plugin part of the product. Is there a more server friendly way to do 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.

Thank you for your support!

Regards

Johon


So have you had a chance to look into this yet? Just curious as i have user's that are getting this error...


Also, what the heck is causing this? Welcome, hotwheels.
You last visited: 15 Minutes Ago at 09:46 AM
Private Messages: Unread 1, Total 47.
Pager Messages: Unread 1, Total 2. I open up the pager now and there is no message at all. I click on the Messages in folder: Inbox It show's nothing "Showing results 1 to 0 of 0"......Do you think that maybe the cron is cleaning out the message's on the 24hr basis, but not able to delete the forum home display Pager Messages: Unread 1, Total 2. ?

Thanks and let me know if there is anything i can do to help....

Question..

I've skimmed through this thread, and didnt see this addressed.

Are there any members here who dont have the "reply" feature working in Firefox?

Everything else works perfect, except that, and other members of my board have validated this.

Anyone know why?

They are able to hit the "reply" button once a page is sent, and reply back?

Just installed this, works well.

I added a couple of my own modifications too. :)

I created a new phrase called $vbphrase['pager_anon']; to replace $vbphrase['n_a']; in pager.php. This means that an anonymous message now comes from "Staff Member" rather than just N/A ... I'll only use this feature for giving out warnings to naughty members. ;)

In the navbar link I added <if condition="$vboptions['vbpager_active'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid'] AND $show['pager']"> in order to hide the buddy list if the pager is disabled. (I think I did this right)

In memberinfo I added AND $show['pager'] to the conditional for the same reasons ..

Therefore when a member cannot use it, it becomes a case of "out of site, out of mind"

I am currently testing this pager system with my staff and came across an annoying problem. When I receive a page and get a pop-up if in viewing the members on-line page and when it refreshed I loose my vbpager popup or if I click on the screen behind the vbpager popup I loose the vbpager screen. How can I prevent this from happening?

How can i turn on the pager for all users , like sound on ,

BobbyBig
04-29-2006, 12:27 PM
Hello,

First of all good work. This Messanger really fits in most of our needs.

There are 2 Problems:

1. If a user isnt active for some mins, the vB Pager popups with a Loginwindow. This is due to the vBulletin board recognize the User as "Offline". The vB Pager Login Popup is a big problem! First of all it appears in Transparent over the whole page. The Bottom font lays on some other Text -> ugly. Second one is that there shouldnt be any Popup.

Is there a way to stop the vB Pager from refresh if the User is set to offline ?
Offline = no need for vB Pager = no ugly and useless popup.

2. There is no Message for the User that his send Message was send. It only returns to the vB User Page. At all theres no Info about succesfully send the Message. This gets really wired to some Users, also for me.

I would be very pleased to get a Sollution for this 2 Problems.

I love this hack and have installed it on my forums. I only have 2 questions regarding this hack:

1.) When you click 'Send Page to User' a window pops up, but the scroll bars appear to scroll and resize the window. How can I make it so there is already a set window size?

2.) Users have asked that the messages stay displayed that they send receive. What I mean by this is:
>Sender1: MESSAGE 1
<Receiver 2: MESSAGE 2
>Sender1: MESSAGE 3
<Receiver 4: MESSAGE 4

I would like the users messages to be saved for up to 4 sends of text, or whatever can work. Is this possible as my users hate to see the windows close and not see what they typed to who?

Thanks!

This hack sends my cpu usage sky high

05-03-2006, 07:35 PM
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.
This is exacly what im looking for.... Will this only show the links to vbpager to the gorups who have access to it via usergroups? Also can you explain un more details how the code should look as I dont understand what you mean by wrap this between ( ) and where to place it?? Sorry

Two problems,

1) Hack won't show on the forumhome.

2) All of the sudden the vbpager thing is broken and everytime you try to open the pager thing it shows a dialog for downloading "pager.php"

It's truly bad, taht there seems to be no support any longer on this great hack, my users love it.

Normally, the mentioned problem should be fixed quite easily if the Pop is registered for the IE (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945/EN-US/) buit I don't know how.

The only problem with a popup system is in the ammount of users today that use pop-up blockers.

Alright, this is a very weird problem I am having. I have installed Drupal Blog system, which can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97341

The problem I am having is, when i go to the blogs page, I can SEND a pager, but I can't receive them. I have to go back to the main forum then it receives them.

I made the SAME template changes to Drupal for Pager install, but as i said EVERYTHING works, except receiving a pager. It just doesn't refresh the page in that location (i.e. forums/drupal/)

Has anyone figured out why this hack sucks up processor utilization?

Try disabling the polling feature in your AdminCP or set the time to a higher value (like 30 seconds).

I am having some browsers crash when loading a page when they have messages available; so I have to remove it.

Has anyone figured out why this hack sucks up processor utilization?

Most of it has to do with the way messages are deleted.

When you prune messages, or your members delete messages, it just deletes the message ID (not the entire message)

So when the hourly cleanup script runs, it shifts through every message, for every user, and see's if it has a message ID. If it doesn't, it deletes the message.

The longer you go without pruning, the harder this hourly check is on your CPU. I've had over 3,000,000 rows examined by the cleanup query, all because I had a few thousand pager messages either in the system or deleted. This happened with a 3000 member board with about 50 people online at a time. This will shut ANY cpu down until the query finally times out... I had it hit my server so hard one time that I had to call the datacenter to request a reboot.

The last version of this hacks includes an option to automaticly delete messages that have been read. If you enable this it helps with the load problems because the cleanup script is not trying to do too much after your big 'prunes'.

i set it to auto delete the messages, and i've got the pager refresh set to 10 seconds, and i'm not having any CPU problems with it at all :)

I'm running vbPortal, and I have installed this mod - but it doesn't seem to be working on my portal pages, particularly the home page. In order for anyone to see the pager messages, they have to be browsing the forum section.

Other than that, it works fine. But is there a way to get it to work on the home page in vbportal? Also - it's not showing up in the vbportal "quick links". Is this normal?

Thanks,

hi.
i wanted to ask if the problem with popup in the Opera browser is already solved.
because want to use some more member very gladly more pager however not without opera to do. and if popup in the lower part the page is not always developed is sense of the thing.

excuses the very bad English. that is a google translation :)

Ok I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but.....

I have 4 different styles on my forum. And if I send a page to someone who is using a different style than I am, they don't get the page. Same vise versa.. if they send me a page, I don't receive it either.

Is there some sort of bug that prevents this from working when members are using different styles??

Ohiosweetheart
05-30-2006, 02:45 PM
There's another issue with this as well....

I have the userpermissions set so that only my admins and staff are supposed to be able to use the pager. NO members are to be able to use it.
However they can still see the icon in the post bit and when they click on it, it DOES open the pager window. So evidently, the hack isn't taking on those usergroup permissions either.

any fixes for this??

Ohiosweetheart
05-30-2006, 03:01 PM
welp, since the developer for this hack hasn't bothered to to reply to this thread since the middle of April, and he's been online twice this month but didn't drop in here...... I'm uninstalling this hack.
There are way too many problems with it, and since it's a nicety but not a necessity, it's just not worth it to pull my hair out over it, lol

When/if it gets updated/fixed I may look at it again

You can browse around my site - I have it installed. I've noticed a slowdown, but I think it may be due to my own server issues, not necessarily this script. You'd have to have a really crappy host to have this thing kill an entire forum. But check mine out - pages should load between 2 and 6 seconds or so: http://trikketalk.com

The only reason I removed this is because it wasn't working with usergroup permissions like it is supposed to. I had them all set for only staff to be able to use it, not members. But members could still access the pager. Not good.
Also, support seems to have dropped off to nothing as well.

Everything works fine nearly only if I page a user the Message window open an if I try (Firefox 1.5.0.3 or IE) to type a Text it's impossible. Every sign will be deleted automaticly after I type it.

What can be wrong?

Thnx for your help.

I found the mistake!

The mistake was that into the group settings ist standing by default:

Maximum Characters Per Pager Message = 0

It must be set to >0 and then it works.

So maybe the install instruction has to be updated (would be helpfull for many users!)

Because I also read into a german VB forum that also other users have the same problem.

Want to fix those "no reply button" issues when you get a pager pop-up?

I was confused for a while why I could not reply but only close a pop-up well here is a quick fix.

Step 1. In Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > vBPager Templates > pager_newpager

Find This Code:
<if condition="!$pagerinfo[canreply]">
<form method="GET">
<center>
<input type="button" class="button" onclick="Close_Pager('action=pager&amp;do=pagerreply&amp;rid=$pager info[receiptid]&amp;touid=$pagerinfo[fromuserid]');closepager('PLAYER');" value="$vbphrase[pager_close]">
</center>
</form>
</if>
<if condition="$pagerinfo[canreply]">
<form method="GET" action="$vboptions[vbpager_forum_dir_name]pager.php" name="frmpager" onsubmit="return SubmitForm(this, this.rid.value);">
<input type="hidden" name="rid" value="$pagerinfo[receiptid]">
<input type="hidden" name="touid" value="$pagerinfo[fromuserid]">
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[pager_reply_message]</legend>
<if condition="$pagererror">
<div class="page" style="border:thin inset; padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;<if condition="!is_browser('konqueror')"> height:50px; overflow:auto</if>">
<if condition="$pagererror[pagercanuse]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>$vbphrase[pager_no_usergroup_permissions]<br /></if>
<if condition="$pagererror[banuser]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>$vbphrase[pager_no_usergroup_permissions]<br /></if>
<if condition="$pagererror[pagermaxperday]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font><phrase 1="$pagerinfo[pagermaxperday]" 2="0">$vbphrase[pager_sent_x_left_y]</phrase><br /></if>
<if condition="$pagererror[pagerquota]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>
<phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[pager_message_qouta_reached]</phrase><br /></if>

Replace With:

<if condition="$pagerinfo[canreply]">
<form method="GET">
<center>
<input type="button" class="button" onclick="Close_Pager('action=pager&amp;do=pagerreply&amp;rid=$pager info[receiptid]&amp;touid=$pagerinfo[fromuserid]');closepager('PLAYER');" value="$vbphrase[pager_close]">
</center>
</form>
</if>
<if condition="!$pagerinfo[canreply]">
<form method="GET" action="$vboptions[vbpager_forum_dir_name]pager.php" name="frmpager" onsubmit="return SubmitForm(this, this.rid.value);">
<input type="hidden" name="rid" value="$pagerinfo[receiptid]">
<input type="hidden" name="touid" value="$pagerinfo[fromuserid]">
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[pager_reply_message]</legend>
<if condition="$pagererror">
<div class="page" style="border:thin inset; padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;<if condition="!is_browser('konqueror')"> height:50px; overflow:auto</if>">
<if condition="$pagererror[pagercanuse]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>$vbphrase[pager_no_usergroup_permissions]<br /></if>
<if condition="$pagererror[banuser]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>$vbphrase[pager_no_usergroup_permissions]<br /></if>
<if condition="$pagererror[pagermaxperday]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font><phrase 1="$pagerinfo[pagermaxperday]" 2="0">$vbphrase[pager_sent_x_left_y]</phrase><br /></if>
<if condition="$pagererror[pagerquota]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>
<phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[pager_message_qouta_reached]</phrase><br /></if>

That fixed my issues, if it doesn't fix yours let me know and maybe I can help but remember I am no PHP coder, just another newbie like the rest. :banana:

I get no extra server loads from this script, I suppose depending on the server company and how much they overcrowd their servers it could have issues, but that is not the plugins fault. At least IMO.

There is something withing this script that hammers at the CPU and no one know what yet, I have two vb sites on two different servers and different ISP and both sites running this hack caused the same issue.

All depends if your server can handle it

I have it and no server issue

gotta keep in mind the amount of memory WHAT kind of server if in a shared hosting etc...

Replace your current flash code (all of it) with this code:
<object data="LINK_TO_YOUR_SWF_FILE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="700" height="270" id="head" ><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="movie" value="LINK_TO_YOUR_SWF_FILE" /></object>

Remember to replace LINK_TO_YOUR_SWF_FILE with your actual link to your .swf file. Dont worry about the embedded code, just use this. Enjoy.

Hi, all

I found a "bug"!

the code (footer template)

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->
$pagermessage
<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->

must be replaced

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[pageroption]">
$pagermessage
</if>
<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->

this prevents a unnecessary loss of the traffic with DialUp connection ;)


Russian:

сорри братва, я по фиглишу не умею... по русски:

получилась трабла что некоторые юзеры просто так теряли трафик даже при отключенном крыжике в опциях юзера (сидя на платном диалапе это плохо)... один фиг делались запросы на сервак... и я придумал деактивировать инициализацию скрипта... целых 5 минут думал ;)

короче если тут кто знает русский плиз переведите это всё... спасибо :)

This is a major flaw that I can't believe nobody has worried about yet. Because of this you have no idea if your message ever was recieved.

would love to help you but i have about 14 styles give or take 3( i am not going to count them) and I have NEVER had this problem lol.

double check your edits and make sure that your permissions are right....?? make sure all the gifs are in the right spot...

This isnt a problem with the Pager System. What this is saying is profileviewpermissions doesnt exist in the db. Did you delete a hack recently that included uploading something into your INCLUDES/XML folder. If so, delete that file in the XML folder and this will solve your problem.

Ok I fixed it. I thought the Maximum Count = 0 means it is disabled. But it is not. Yu have to enter a figure there.

I really need one feature. I am a teacher and I want it to work as a two-way communication between the admin and the members but not between members to members as I cannot afford the server load and bandwidth. Now when I disable the Send Messages for the registered members, they are not even able to reply back to my pager. I want an option that the Admin can page the members and the members can page or reply to the Admin only but members cannot page other members. How can this possible? Can you please guide me what code to change and how? Thanks and awaiting your reply.

First off, awesome hack. clicked installed.

but i did want to give the administrators unlimited size for posts so i set it to 0 to disable. 0 does not disable the size limit. it makes the max characters actually 0. every time i hit a character it would auto delete.

just as an FYI to change that in the usergroup settings "Maximum Characters Per Pager Message:
(set to 0 to disable)"

take out that "(set to 0 to disable)" in future versions.

other than that, great hack

I really like this product, and so do my users.

I have one problem, which I cannot resolve, after viewing the templates.

When viewing the screen of "Pages/Messages", and all "page/messages" are listed...
we cannot see the text of any message... all we see is a white box.
But if we mouseover and hilight it we can.

This suggests the font color for the "page/message" text is the same as the
background color for the "page/message" box. (in our case, both white).

How can I change the font color for the "page/message" text
for this particular facility ?????

Note... when actually sending a page/message, all is fine.
It is only when viewing all your page/messages that my problem arises.

Thanks for any help.

To that end, i can't remember the last time the author has been here to support this awesome, none usable mod.
Since it is no longer supported, i wish a mod would change that in the description at the top of the page.

I think any hacker who releases a hack and specifies they offer support, should be required to update the hack/thread at least once a month, or once a fortnight.

It's crazy that people release hacks and don't bother to keep the users informed on whether or not they'll be updating it, or when.

Bit like VBadvanced.com, they've got a paid for hack called the links directory, which hasn't been updated in 6 months, yet they update the FREE CPMS.

yes it does...but there are quite a few people who have gotten this to work and have no problem and why update it when it has worked with the majority of the vb versions without a problem...

I just put it on 3.6 and it is erasing the text as I type it in. Each letter appears and than instantly disappears. Any ideas?

I have reinstalled the product and it has the same effect.

OK, First off this Thread is for vB3.5 Add-ons vB 3.5 Products, Plug-ins, and code modifications. Not 3.6 , Even though some us need to upgraded to 3.6.
Please go to 3.6 forums and do your business their. Our post are being over looked and thread for 3.5 is being over run with 3.6 questions.
Thank You & Have A Great Day!

Ok, for those having problems getting this to work right, and getting errors and such. Most of the time your problem is your site has colored scrollbars. As odd as it may sound, that causes problems when using this hack.

Solution: (May not work on all)

Go in admincp, Style Manager>Click Dropdown menu?Main Css

In the top right box where it says "Extra CSS Attributes"

If you see any lines that says SCROLLBAR, remove them lines. Your pager will work perfectly afterwards, and if you don't see them scrollbar things, look throughout the page for them, they might be in another box.

Since this is a 3.5.x thread and again are answers are going unanswered what makes you think that posting 3.6 inquiries here will get answered any quicker? You all could go to 3.6 forums to get answers.IMO

But to help you out a lil,you need to get lets say smartftp to make your server adding and editing easier. We all have a forums folder. Download smartftp (http://www.smartftp.com/). Its to me easier then editing via browser.IMO

To jarcher...not all vb's have a forum directory. Depends very much on your set up. :)

This hack is absolutly fantastic! (installed)

I've been using it on my forum for about a week now and i've only encountered 1 problem. The problem isn't with the hack itself - it's with my members. To put it nicely most of them aren't all that competent at figuring things out for themselves.

So here's a suggestion:
I've compiled my own set of instructions on how to use and customise vb pager for my members but im still getting questions everyday. I think it would be a good idea if they could find these instructions upon receipt of a vB pager message.

Is there a way I can add a clickable link to the inline "new pager message" popup window that will direct my members to the thread I have posted the instructions in?

Once again thanks for this fantastic hack - we are all extrelemly happy with it! :D :D :D

Quick question for those that have this working.

I too have this on my site and am just curious to see how people have these item's set on thier sites:

vB Pager AJAX Check Period ?
vB Pager Display Window Refresh Period ?
Floodcheck - Minimum Time Between Pager Messages ?

I have mine set at 30, 50, 0...........sometime's it takes up to 8 hrs before i actually recieve the pager message......I can in no way, have a conversation using this system......It function's correctly as far as all of the page's and no error's, but you just can't use the system....

I have my Check period set to 120, refresh at 50 and floodcheck at 30. It's also a good idea to have them auto-deleted every hour. In terms of the slow operation, i had the same problem initially and fixed it by making sure that my forum directory was correct (for me it was "/vb/")

has anyone had any issues with installing this and 3.6. It all works great apart from one thing.....

If I use the readme and add the code below:

In the template: postbit_legacy (Optional)
=============================
FIND:
=============================
<if condition="$show['reputationlink']"><a href="reputation.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reputation.gif" border="0" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_to_xs_reputation]</phrase>" /></a></if>
=============================
Add BELOW:
=============================
<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 7 ] -->
<if condition="$vboptions['vbpager_active'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid']">
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('pager.php?do=buddylist&amp;puserid=$post[userid]','pagerbuddylist','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolba r=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=$vboptions[vbpager_width],height=$vboptions[vbpager_height]'); return false;"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/vbpager_icon.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[pager_send_pager_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if>
<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 7 ] -->

What happens is I get text at the bottom left with the other symbols saying send vbpager message to person and not the little icon yet the icon is uploaded...

How can I fix that for 3.6 please ?

I really like this product, and so do my users.

I have one problem, which I cannot resolve, after viewing the templates.

When viewing the screen of "Pages/Messages", and all "page/messages" are listed...
we cannot see the text of any message... all we see is a white box.
But if we mouseover and hilight it we can.

This suggests the font color for the "page/message" text is the same as the
background color for the "page/message" box. (in our case, both white).

How can I change the font color for the "page/message" text
for this particular facility ?????

Note... when actually sending a page/message, all is fine.
It is only when viewing all your page/messages that my problem arises.

Thanks for any help.

I finally figured out what to do....
Edit the Template/Style for the "Page" CSS.
Change the foreground color from white to black,
leave the background as "transparent".

That did it

>>> Please ignore this post, it seems that double checking isn't enough. I just found out that one of the template edits was in the wrong place.

Alright i'm not getting vbpager to work with 3.6.0.

The problem is that the person who's being paged doesn't get a popup nor does he receive it in his inbox. The sender can see the pager in his send items list but that's it.

I've tried the following things:

- Re-upload all files
- Uninstall product
- Install product
- Delete template changes
- Add template changes (and double checked if they were correct)
- Ofcourse i changed the VB pager options and changed the usergroup options

But still i'm having the same problem, does anybody know what can be the cause of this?
