[AJAX] Arab Lounge - Autoprune included

[adhari_com]

:: Introduction
Hello, I've been dealing with vBulletin since the stone ages, I've created many hacks in previous versions for my own Forums but never released to public and keep it exclusive. Recently I've decided to create one of the most requested modification hack in the Arab Forums, the acient hack was called "Hack AlEhda'at" (Greetings Hack). And that's enough reason to call this one like this.

:: What is it?

A simple shout-box like for quick messages that can be displayed any where you like in Forum Home, using the great technology of AJAX we are able to post Arabic Characters correctly, although it requires PHP5.

:: Demo
http://www.adhari.com (Arabic Version Only)

:: Installation
1. Import the Product File
2. Modify the main template LOUNGEHOME to suite your forum design
3. insert the variable $lounge_home anywhere you like in FORUMHOME template
4. Upload the cron job file to includes/cron, then add a New Task that runs once daily.
(The prune limit is set to 24 hours which can be changed within the php file)

:: Change Log
14/01/2008: Added blank messages checking
05/05/2007: Hardened the code to avoid XSS, added a cron job to clean up
26/01/2007: Fixed bugs with FireFox2
25/01/2007: Fixed the Arabic Product File, submit button disabled once clicked to avoid double submissions.

Of course not bro, I'm displaying the latest 30 messages, using the built-in utilization of the vBulletin ... and also fixed the submit button to avoid double submissions!

You can even allow general visitors to post, but I'd love to know if it "did" actually causes any load. Thanx for installing ya man :)

Translation is too easy, inventing that counts doesn't really matter in which language!

[Stoebi]

Thank you very much. But it works not 100% with Firefox 2.0.0.1 marquee is not working with FF correctly.

I'ved changed this to:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<marquee id="arab_lounge_marquee" direction="left" scrollamount="6" onmouseover="this.stop()"onmouseout="this.start()">$latestlounge</marquee>');
//-->
</script>


In function delete_lounge(loungeid) the variable lounge_but need to be set:

lounge_but = loungeid;


With Firefox; After I send a message I get a js error:

Error: eventobj.target.form has no properties
Source: http://team.xxx.org/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=364
Line: 233

Can't fix at the moment. Any ideas?

With FF please try to send a message as a group with no access to use the message system.

Both templates need to be cached. They are uncached at the moment.

Stoebi

didnt work with me , i went to vbulletin opetion and i couldn't find it there .. i looked for arab lounge ..? v of the forum ( 3.6.4 )

[VaaKo]

I can't find the copyright notice where you're linkin to your forum, I would like to keep the copyright notice but without the link please.

I hope you'd understand!

[VaaKo]

/me clicks install!

1. Replaced this with the template itself?


In function delete_lounge(loungeid) the variable lounge_but need to be set:

lounge_but = loungeid;



2. Thank you I will fix that too.

[adhari_com]

Of course, you can remove the link.

[adhari_com]

Bugs fixed with FireFox2 ... much faster browser :)

[Wachtmeister]

Hi,

nice idea. Is it possible to have this scroller on every page? Also on a vbadvanced startpage?

Regards, Wachtmeister

[salil]

Awesome, thanx bro..

بارك الله بك أخوي

[+Fares+]

[adhari_com]

Hi,

Regards, Wachtmeister

Of course, if u edit the plugin titled "Lounge AJAX Handler" to be hooked into the global start, as for vBadvanced don't forget to globalize the variable $lounge_home.

Hope you tell it's working :)

[adhari_com]

Please make sure it shows the latest version, and please read installation instruction no. 3 where it says put $lounge_home anywhere in the FORUMHOME template.

PM me if needed.

[karem_bumy]

Thank you much work actually very good

ممتاز جدا جدا جدا اخوى

ولكن هناك فكرة للتطوير الهاك وهيةى اضافة ايكونات واسميلز

وثانى شىء ايضا هنا مشكلة

اذا كرريت الضغط على الزر الاضافة اكثر من مرة

بيحصل تكرار للكلام

[adhari_com]

A tiny smilies panel is in mind, and please make sure u're having the updated one, it was noted before and I have done what's required to disable the button once clicked.

[+Fares+]

worked fine thanks alot brother...

but the msgs goes a little fast any way to reduce the speed ?

i have another request... now i submitted my msg ... any way to edit it after it posted ?

[adhari_com]

editing msgs would be wonderful of course, but too much over!

as for the speed and scrollamount you can change from the template LOUNGEHOME

[Kadi]

Thanks Hassan for the hack. I've been looking for something like this for awhile. I've installed it on my test page.

Is it possible to control the speed and colors? Like in Atakan (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117942)'s mod.

Is there a limit to how many messages can be posted? Are they deleted automatically once a limit is reached?

How is the image changed that is at the beginning of the scroll? And the one between each msg?

Also, I visited your forum...very nice :) . Will you be releasing the latest posts hack (akher almawadhee3)?

Alot of questions...sorry. :o

Thanks again. (Shukran jazeelan!)

[adhari_com]

It's really a pleasure to answer your questions, I'm sorry about not being able to control the speed as from the vBulletin Settings it's just much of a hasle and wasting memory space! You can change these things from the ScrollDelay and ScrollAmount from within the main template LOUNGEHOME.

the messages limitation is 30 and they are not deleted from the system, I will release a later version with either a cron job or just a simple SQL.

Both images can be found and changed from the LOUNGEHOME just a nice HTML Editor (Frontpage).

As for the latest thread it's simple with minor chnages by me, I'll see what I can release about that.
Thank you.

[Kadi]

I found one image and replaced it but I couldn't find the image that's in between the messages (the icon).

So if it reaches 30 messages it won't accept anymore until the old ones are deleted by the admin?

Also, I don't understand why there is "mn" or 'from' since the posters nick will be shown next to his/her message anyway.

Thanks :)

[adhari_com]

The icon between the msgs can be change from the plugin itself

Product Manage -> Plugins -> Arab Lounge Handler
Look for: icon

The latest 30 will be displayed.
From is meant to be "From where are you now sending" :D

[Kadi]

Thank you very much!!!!!

Waiting for smilies to be added. :)

[sebbe]

Nice hack dude I like it, good job.

[Kadi]

Hi,

Thanksss

[Allan]

Very nice hack :)

A question, do you will add the smilies ?
It's possible a scrolling to bottom => top ?

[spy90000]

Great one, I like't

لكن يا حبيب قلبي يا عذاري ، يا ترى في مجال انك انك تضيف له ابتسامات علشان يطلع احلى.
شيء ثاني ، يمكن يوجد عندنا الكثير من منتجات الإهداءات للمنتدى لكن ولا منتج نقدر نستخدمه داخل و خارج المنتدى ( الصفحة الرئيسية للموقع مثلا) ، اتمنى عند تطوير هذا المنتج ان يكون متميز عن الباقي بهذه الخاصية ونقدر نضيفه لصفحات خارج المنتدى .

شكراً لك ولك مني اطيب تحية

[Kadi]

Could you please explain how to make it slower?

Thanks

Edit: Got it just need to make the text and nick in bold.

[PimvanJ]

Nice hack pal!

Is there a way to show this only in one forum?

Thanks.

[ahmednadir]

great hack
added it to my site
thanks alot yaman

[adhari_com]

Could you please explain how to make it slower?

Thanks

Edit: Got it just need to make the text and nick in bold.
You can find the scrollAmount in the template which can be altered.

As for showing it in specific forum that would need custom changes.

[Kadi]

Thanks I figured it out. My members really like this hack and so do I.

Shukran.

[belal_najjar]

thanx man

[Abdo-sa]

Thanks for this hack I didn't install it yet.

I don't know about it if I can used it for just one forum I mean I don't want to show it in the index page. I would like to chose one forum and use it there.

Just for a single forum. does this future included ?

[maamon]

مشكور على ملف المنتج الرائع

[adhari_com]

showing it in a single forum needs custom code, I'd add it to the wish future list :)

Thanks for the note.

[adhari_com]

The hack has been updated for those having issues with redirecting scripts.

[Almotmaiz.Net]
