vbulletin-xml-rpc-server for instant Desktop Notification

[sf.nsuers]

Let's take a look at following screen-shots first.

http://nsuers.com/vbulletin-desktop-notifier-1.0-screenshots/login.png

http://nsuers.com/vbulletin-desktop-notifier-1.0-screenshots/systray_message.png

http://nsuers.com/vbulletin-desktop-notifier-1.0-screenshots/pop_menu.png

http://nsuers.com/vbulletin-desktop-notifier-1.0-screenshots/notification.png

Yeah.. these look like Gmail Notifer (http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/notifier_windows.html) application which is actually vbulletin-desktop-notifier (http://code.google.com/p/vbulletin-desktop-notifier/) application. As a forum admin, you might want to offer such application to your members.



== Video tutorials ==
Editing (http://nsuers.com/projects/vbxrs/screencasts/vbxrs_editfile/)
Uploading (http://nsuers.com/projects/vbxrs/screencasts/vbxrs_upload/)
Installation (http://nsuers.com/projects/vbxrs/screencasts/vbxrs_install/)

You can use vBulletin Desktop Notifier (http://code.google.com/p/vbulletin-desktop-notifier/) as dekstop client or free to build your own following API-DOC (http://nsuers.com/projects/vbxrs/apidoc/) .



== Demo watch video (http://nsuers.com/projects/vbxrs/screencasts/client/) ==
I'm offering demo in my forum. Here're the steps.

Download vbulletin-desktop-notifier (http://code.google.com/p/vbulletin-desktop-notifier/downloads/list) and install in your machine.

Run vbulletin-desktop-notifier and login using
username: priti
password: 123456

Create a new thread at Demo vbulletin-xml-rpc-server threads (http://community.nsuers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=191) or reply to existing thread.

You'll see notification in your desktop within few seconds.

Request: Please do not change password for user Priti. If somehow the login does not work you can try by creating a temporary user.



== Coming up next ?.. ==
Based on feedback I'm listing few of the enhancements that will be part of upcoming releases.


Server Compatibility check script
Options to select forum ids in User CP
Display avatar of the person who made post in the notification window
Unread private message notification
Support for PHP4



Alfa1 came up with these ideas (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1650095&postcount=23) which hopefully will be integrated sooner or later in future releases:

- friends coming online

Which of the following events does this notifier alert to:
Member notifications:
- profile messages awaiting approval
- requests to join your social groups
- invitations to join social groups
- unread picture comments
- picture comments awaiting approval
- group messages awaiting approval

== Ongoing Discussions ?.. ==
discussions on release-02 starts here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1681874#post1681874)

== HOT FIX [release 2.0]?.. ==
Rename all files in system/application/models directory into lowercases. i.e:
Forum.php => forum.php
Settings.php => settings.php
Token.php => token.php
User.php => user.php

Love this will try it

** Install **

Many Thanks

[COBRAws]

now THIS is a winner

[soundbarrierpro]

Not sure I understand how my members would install? Is there a way to make this so it's like an executable?

[noppid]

In your PHP Docs you list a to do for forum.php function forum_latest_thread as:


Tags:
todo: check usergroup permission


Is that to say that you know that private forum thread titles are revealed in the latest thread list?

You also list,
* check for banned account
* check for verified account
Is that to say a banned user can read thread titles?

[sf.nsuers]

I've released source of sample desktop application (http://code.google.com/p/vbulletin-desktop-notifier/source/checkout).

You are free to modify the source code. Basically you need to edit config.cnf file.

After making changes you need to bundle as JAR/EXE file and make that downloadable to your forum members.

Yes. Any recent post title will be popped up but there's no way contents will be revealed.
In next release, I've plan to add a checkpost according to feedback for current release.

[regitbull]

uuhm is it also posselble to select a forum id.
So it will only notifie of new threads in that forum id.

If so then then will be a great mod.

[Subah]

Great idea , Thanks :)

[ogameclub]

Demo?

[soundbarrierpro]

I still don't get the instructions?

Do I upload the package that is here at vb.org, then go to the google page and download the executable for my members?

I guess you are looking for options in USER CP to select forums and automatically that'll affect desktop notifier.. hmm I think it's great idea :-D

thanks!

well unlike maximum plug-and-play type mods, vbulletin-xml-rpc-server is pretty advanced level mod. I just opened doors for application developers to build own desktop notifier application for their forum members.

The sample executable (http://code.google.com/p/vbulletin-desktop-notifier/) is the one which I wrote for my forum members to use. So, you have following options:

1. build your own desktop notifier following DOCUMENTATION or,
2. modify source code of that sample desktop application and then bundle as executable for your members.

Yup something like that.

So you can choose from what sections you want to get notified.

[Replicators]

There is another big problem with this, some people that use vbadvanced, rename the default index.php to forum.php. I am gonna have to go through all php scripts and rename forum.php to something else. Also, normal members shouldn;t get popups of threads being made in the staff forums or w/e, so there's another flaw.

Where the hell you get the source? Is it possible you could provide people with easy instructions on how to compile the source to a exe on both linux and windows?

[WarLion]

this is amazing but i have a lot of error

i guess i need to change on config.cnf "VBULLETIN_XML_RPC_SERVER =" but i dont know to what , a little help please

[ssslippy]

Genius idea but really needs to check vs forum permisions.

[Skyrider]

The forum.php file gets:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.


Any way to fix this issue?

[Hornstar]

This has great potential! but in its current form it has quite a bit of work left.

I would like to translate this JAR? I already installed NetBeans, but where can I download all files for translation?

nothing has to do with any existing vbulletin files. you need to place vbulletin-xml-rpc-server directory anywhere you wish (needs to be same server where vbulletin is installed). before that read 'instruction.txt' file and edit cd.php file to point where you've installed vbulletin. because vbulletin-xml-rpc-server requires vbulletin config file.

source is available at code.google.com
Use this command to anonymously check out the latest project source code:
# Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP.
svn checkout http://vbulletin-desktop-notifier.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ vbulletin-desktop-notifier-read-only


however, moments ago I have put source code here. (http://vbulletin-desktop-notifier.googlecode.com/files/vbulletin-desktop-notifier-v1-src.zip) and required JAR files (http://vbulletin-desktop-notifier.googlecode.com/files/source-required_jars.zip) for those who are not familiar with subversion system.

For creating executables for Linux and Windows I prefer install4J (http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/install4j/overview.html).

You need to locate http path to where you uploaded vbulletin-xml-rpc-server mod.
For example:
http://my-domain.com/vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/
http://my-domain.com/forum/vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/
http://my-domain.com/vbulletin/vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/
http://forum.my-domain.com/vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/

.... etc. Just make sure you've / at the end of URL.

:) this is not a problem. These files actually talk to XML-RPC request.

great! thanks for sharing your ideas. I'll work on these.
Also, if anyone would like to participate in development let me know.

[WarLion]

You need to locate http path to where you uploaded vbulletin-xml-rpc-server mod.
For example:

and then i upload all to my forum path i have vbadvance in this way
http://mydomain.com (vbadvance)
http://mydomain.com/forum/ ( my forum) where i upload this mod
if i undertood i have to change to

If you have uploaded vbulletin-xml-rpc-server and configured config.cnf accordingly then next step would be reading this issue (http://code.google.com/p/vbulletin-desktop-notifier/issues/detail?id=1).

If you have further issues regarding vbulletin-desktop-notifier please create issues here (http://code.google.com/p/vbulletin-desktop-notifier/issues/entry).

And, support on vbulletin-xml-rpc-server will be provided here :)

Thanks for your feedback!

Ever wanted this type of thing, but it would be awesome for quoted messages. eg. "You have been quoted by..".

Right.. you need to update JRE to 1.6.0_03 or newer. It'll fix the problem.

Yeh, I too think you have hit on something big here. It's a great idea with a ton of potential, but I pretty much squeak by with what I barely know in the coding world. Making an executable and bundling and such......I have absolutely no clue what that is or how to do it. I'll hope others help jump on board developing to make a complete plugin.

Great work

I downloaded the trial version of you posted, but if I put anyone he logs, it appears an error message.

If I make here in my custom version JAR, you can make it turn an executable?

what is that error


Fatal error: Call to undefined function xmlrpc_server_create() in /home/barakat/public_html/forums/server.php on line 37

[noppid]

This hack should be in beta with warnings in large red letters.

What's up with putting server passwords in the $GLOBAL array? I've already pointed out the queries reveal hidden forums.


Seriously people, this is a great idea, but no where near ready for production use yet.

It's not working for me, it's trying to use the "vb_" table prefix in the queries, where can I edit this?

[AcidX]

Great idea, but the notifier doesn't do anything usefull, yet.
It sure needs development. Stick to Alpha's post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1650095&postcount=23).

The instructions never included a query to create a xmlrpc_sf_user table.

I think this whole problem is caused because this app is trying to use a "vb_" prefix, and my db does not use prefixes, where can I change this in the code?

Hi, i am getting

com.nsuers.vbulletin_xml_rpc_client.ServiceError
at com.nsuers.vbulletin_xml_rpc_client.VbulletinXmlRp cJClient.require_token(VbulletinXmlRpcJClient.java :97)

in the error log and no messages via the notifier other than its running

also what command do i run to uninstall the sql code from this should I require too please?
Hi did you see this post please/? I should add that if I put your forum details in it works ok!

[ZomgStuff]

A recommendation I would add is to display the avatar of the person who made the post in the pop-up.

[sf.nsuers]

Hi did you see this post please/? I should add that if I put your forum details in it works ok!

yes.. I've updated MOD description and mentioned possible reasons for getting such errors. Please make sure you're running php5 and php is compiled with xmlrpc-epi lib.

C00L! Thanks for this idea. added in TODO list.

[ZomgStuff]

C00L! Thanks for this idea. added in TODO list.

A couple other reommendations here.
1) Forum checking. Currently all people using it will get notifications from any new post in any forum, including those that they do not have access to.

Should be something simple along the lines of
fetch_permissions($row["forumid"]) & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']

2) Have a link to go directly to the new post in the pop-up, and also having the option to right click the tasktray icon as well...

3) Don't display latest messages made by yourself. After you make your own post it will tell you that there's a new message by you several seconds later.

5) Add support for private-messages

6) Add support for new registrations.

I'd be willing to co-author this mod with you if you would like, I see a lot of potential in this. I'd be able to work more on the back-end of the PHP, SQL, and vBulletin integration than the Java portion. PM me if you'd be interested.

[Darkstarproject]

Love this mod!

Is there a way you can make it notify for a new PM ?

[WarLion]

is a shame i dont have php5 i have to unistall

[River_rush]

yes.. I've updated MOD description and mentioned possible reasons for getting such errors. Please make sure you're running php5 and php is compiled with xmlrpc-epi lib.
I will have to uninstall this then as lunarpages (a major host) is still running PHP Version 4.4.9

i will wait for that i really see this mod like a winner thanks sf.nsuers

[River_rush]

Well I would really like to see this work so I am looking forward to that :) also BIG bonus would be the ability to run it to monitor several boards at once, so those of us admin on more than one board dont have to keep trawling the sites, but let the messages come to us instead! Ace mod. looking forward to being able to use it.

[ZomgStuff]

excellent! I'll PM you about project hosting details by tonight. :-D

Awesome, I'm currently busy so I should have some free time this Friday evening and Saturday to work on it.

[Delphiprogrammi]

i believe executable (*.exe) addons are forbidden here ... do correct me if i am wrong

[Alfa1]

How would you code a desktop program without using an .exe?

[MrLovaLove]

well, is there limit for the login ?

it seems to me there is no limitation for the tries

i was trying to enter as admin manytimes and the message appears to me

the username and password are not match which mean the username is correct

so i was trying to guess my admin pass then reliszed that im trying to login to your site :S

[Ljusya]

Greate idea!!!
And in next release, this MOD will have PHP4 compatibility.
Good but how long We will be wait it`s?

[Keyser S?ze]

this is cool but can u add on the list of options "Read all new posts

[sf.nsuers]

This MOD is written in pure PHP. EXE is not part of this MOD but implementation only to show this API works :P. from my experience I can tell that forum members would prefer EXE than JAR. @ Delphiprogrammi

no there's no limit for login attempt. and compared to total number of queries running on a single VB page, this is ignorable and would put no pressure on DB server. I gave a thought about caching data in XML files but that makes no sense since we'll be using this application for most frequent updates. but yes caching technique will be used for other API services later @ MrLovaLove

releasing for PHP4 in matter of no time. but i'm heading for working on the features in TODO list. I think I will be able to release next version by end of this month. :) please stay tuned @ Ljusya

okie! (Y) @ Keyser S?ze

Are there any FREE program compilers? Install4j is nice, but the nag message sucks :-(

Thank you is great!

What next version?

[superjeff]

When i receive the new message notification, i get the "text" message and not the message i posted. What is the problem? Tried with your demo.

How do I edite the config.cnf?

[sf.nsuers]

nothing is wrong! it's designed to popup thread title only @superjeff
any text editor @ ExTincTi0N

--------------------------------
about the next version
--------------------------------

Having many positive feedback, I'm eagerer to invest more time for the development of this MOD. Even though I had plan to release next version at end of last month I could not reach where I wanted to be.

Few hints about next release:
---------------------------------------

I'm rewriting the whole server code in CodeIgniter (http://codeigniter.com/) Framework. Reasons for this move are:
cut dependency on XMLRPC-epi library
cut dependency on PHP5
get more developers to be involved into this project. CodeIgniter (http://codeigniter.com/) is lightweight and standard solution


I wish there is no restriction on developing vBulletin MOD on http://code.google.com .
Please confirm me ASAP.

I'm looking for developers who has experience in following areas:

Google Gadget (http://desktop.google.com/plugins/)
Firefox addon like TwitterFox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5081)
vBulletin product package


If you think you can build Google Gadget or Firefox Addon using this MOD please PM me.
For faster implementation of this MOD I need your time.

Thanks for your support and patience :)

[Alfa1]

I wish there is no restriction on developing vBulletin MOD on http://code.google.com .
Please confirm me ASAP.
Could you please explain what you mean with this?

[sf.nsuers]

I've plan to involve more coders to contribute in this MOD feature development. code.google.com could be one of the project hosting tools but then this MOD would be publicly available. i.e.: people without valid vBulletin license can download/modify/use this MOD.

so.. is it okay if I do so or it would be violation of vbulletin.com and/or vbulletin.org laws?

[ExTincTi0N]

Ok I edited the congif.cnf but it still doesn't work for my site. Do I need to upload the config.cnf or something?

[sf.nsuers]

uhu.. no need to upload config.cnf. Please check requirements, and follow the instruction provided in vbulletin-xml-rpc-server-v1.zip (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=88393&d=1224605921) .

If it does not work then please go through previous posts; solutions and/or reasons to "does not work" should have been posted earlier.

[logicuk]

I cant wait for the next version keep up the great work sf.nsuers

[logicuk]

any updates?

[sf.nsuers]

yes. next release is ready to fly. but still needs some tweaking.
I think I'll be able to launch it this weekend.

thanks for having patience :)

[Triky]

so.. is it okay if I do so or it would be violation of vbulletin.com and/or vbulletin.org laws?

I think you should PM a mod or a vB.org admin.

[logicuk]

yes. next release is ready to fly. but still needs some tweaking.
I think I'll be able to launch it this weekend.

thanks for having patience :)

Kool hope the new release comes soon

[Replicators]

I get a blank page when trying to do the test, does it mean somethng is wrong or?

[sf.nsuers]

yes. that means something went wrong in server side.
most likely it happens when config.php is not located in cd.php.
Please make sure there is a trailing slash (/) at end of $vbulletin_path.

Please check Editing files video demonstration and if it does not work pls IM me on MSN/GTalk. (swordfish@nsuers.com).

I get this error doing the test:

I'm getting the same error.

update:

In the system/application/models folder, you need to rename User.php, Token.php, and Forum.php to all lowercase. Try that!

[dvsDave]

the popups are just text, right?

could they be formatted as a url so that a user could click on the link and their default browser would open a new tab/window to go to the url of the message?

[Ozidoggy]

Ah thanks!!!.. renaming those files worked

[Ozidoggy]

I keep box appearing saying:

[B]Server returned error message
"token has expired"

Try again?

[sf.nsuers]

@dvsDave, yes. The pop-ups are text. Thanks for your idea :)

@Ozidoggy, right! that's a bug. It can be fixed by editing system/application/models/token.php. You need to replace update_count() function with this code:


function update_count()
{
$this->_add_life();
$this->db->set('use_count', 'use_count+1', false);
$this->db->where('value', $this->token);
return $this->db->update('tokens');
}

It is annoying when you log into the program and it pops up telling you, you have no forums selected.

Would be nice forum admin to be able to select which forums different Groups gets notifications on, based on their user group.

Any ideas?

@subnet_rx, user permission is controlled on the Forum preference page. a user gets list of forums on which s/he has read access.

@t.uzuner, did your setup pass TEST? btw, u do not need to put hands on Cookie settings. if needed feel free to consult me over IM. once we get your problem fixed we shall share the procedure here.

@lnxtr, if you want to do it yourself options are open. download compile the JAVA source code, make jar file. use an executable creator to create EXE from that .JAR.

Try replacing the "vb_" prefix with your own "myprefix_" prefix (if that's the one you are using for vBulletin).

Edit: Yours would then read...

FROM myprefix_thread t, myprefix_forum f, myprefix_post p, myprefix_user u

I hope this fixes the problem you're having.

is that correct?

[benstillman]

Took me forever to read through the posts fixing each little thing, but I've got it working now. Pretty cool. I'm going to play around with making my own client.

For users just installing:
- make sure you change the file names in ./vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/system/application/models so they're all lowercase
- if using Vista, after installing the client, right click on the c:/program files/vbdn/config.cnf file, click on security, and change your permissions so you can edit it
- edit ./vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/system/application/models/forums.php line 35 to use your db prefix. default for vBulletin is vbb_. in the file it's set to vb_.
- be sure to do this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1682216&postcount=94)to keep from getting the token errors

[benstillman]

My question is how secure is this?

[sf.nsuers]

@benstillman cool! can't wait to see how your client talks :-D
what security issues you are concerned of?

Hi,

When I go to the test page I get this error:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: parse_url(http://) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse URL

Filename: libraries/Xmlrpc.php

Line Number: 160


Any idea's?

[DangerousDale]

Forget the above... was being a complete idiot... fixed it now ;)

[flup]

Windows client is not compatible with Vista at this moment. I myself is not a big fan of vista for many reasons. but.. I'll keep it in mind to provide a solution for Vista users.

Must be kiddin me:( I love this mod but I'm running Vista..

[flup]

I got it working :) Here's what to do (thanks to Benstillman aswel!):

FILE MODIFICATION / UPLOADS

Step 1) Download this attachment, it has all changes in filenames etc set already, extract the contents to a folder

Step 2) Open 'upload\vbulletin-xml-rpc-server\cd.php', you need to make a change here, I made it a little bit easier for most users, change this part:
$forum_folder = ''; // WITH ending slash, example: forums/
To fit your forums, if your forum is in the root of your hosting, leave it blank, otherwise it will be forum/ or forums/

Step 3) Open 'upload\vbulletin-xml-rpc-server\system\application\models\config.php' and change this:
$config['base_url'] = "http://www.yourlinkto.com/vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/";
To the full URL of the vbulletin-xml-rpc-server url, including the ending slash.

Step 4) Upload all files from the upload directory to your forumroot.


Product Import

Step 1) Go to your admin panel and scroll down to Plugins & Products, choose 'Manage Products' and on the bottom of that page click [Add/Import Product]

Step 2) Select the 'product-vbxrs.xml' file which was extracted from the zipfile and import the product.

Forum Settings

Step 1) In your browser go to the 'vbxrs_preference.php' file (example: http://www.yourforum.com/vbxrs_preference.php)

Step 2) Select the forums you want to receive updates from.

The Client

Step 1) Download the client over at code.google.com: http://code.google.com/p/vbulletin-desktop-notifier/downloads/list

Step 2) Install the client to your PC, if you are using another system than Vista, go to step 6. Vista users also follow Step 3, 4 and 5!

Step 3) Open your explorer and browse to the directory you installed the client in, by default this is: C:\Program Files\vbdn

Step 4) Right click the file: config.cfn and select properties, click the tab 'Security' and click the button Edit.

Step 5) Click on your username and after that click the checkbox 'Full Control' (all checkboxes will be checked). Now click OK, followed by Apply+Ok.

Step 6) Run the client and edit the settings, both the Forum URL and VBXRS Url must have the ending slashes!

Step 7) Apply changes and restart the client, now add your user information in the login box and your vB Notifier is working.

Credits
Credits of course go to sf.nsuers for this great idea, which hopefully will be expanded soon! and to benstillman who got to explain alot of it already in the previous post.

I just packed it all together and perhaps made it a little bit easier for everyone to get this thing up and running!

[flup]

Some suggestions:

auto-login & auto-start (when windows starts)

[qberty]

I would Like to Code a NEW and more Improved GUI looking Applications. If sf.nusers Could help me Ill release it Here with Updates, I have enough time to invest into making the application work with This. Since its XML-RPC, All i need is Direct Contact with sf.nusers to Be able to code a whole new app with the same function and mabye more. How shall i contact him?

any idea? :(

[sf.nsuers]

jorge_kai,

- can you post steps you gone through configuration in detail?
- what does test script say?
- have you got any clue in PHP error_log file?

[jorge_kai]

hi!

the test script say all is OK

"Server returned: 1236531477
output looks good!"

i follow the steps in the installation doc (version 2)... i'd changed the files in system/application/models and changed the prefix table in forum file

[sf.nsuers]

cool! what did u set for VBXRS URL in desktop application settings?

[jorge_kai]

<a href="http://www.elclubdigital.com/foro/vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/" target="_blank">http://www.elclubdigital.com/foro/vb...ml-rpc-server/</a>

[sf.nsuers]

nice! URI looks okay!

do you see error_log file in vbulletin-xml-rpc-server directory? what does it say?

[jorge_kai]

i don't find any error_log :(

in which directory exactly?

thanks!

[jorge_kai]

next that error, another one

[jorge_kai]

[jorge_kai]

[qberty]

sorry I hadn't been on for while, will there be an update on this? and if so, is that help still open?

[MmS1]

uninstall
I like the idea but dosent support arabic

[Cipher5]

I have read the whole thread over and over and over and watched the videos. Still I cant get this mod to work. I edited the "cd.php" file right I am sure.

• I used this test link example:http://mydomain/vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/test and I get a message: "Server returned: 1245704959
output looks good!"

• After I put my URL in the config.php /vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/system/application/config/ I get this message now: "Did not receive a '200 OK' response from remote server. (HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found)"


• using the default config.php gets the good message, changing the url to mine gets me the error message... I can't figure this out. I have read and tested everything for the last 5= hours and still it will not work.

this website is hosted on a godaddy server running the required apps.

thanks in advance

[sf.nsuers]

cheykawebdesign, let us have a look at what changes you've made. If you do not want to share them here, please email them to me.

[yotsume]

Well I followed the below instructions and I get file not found when going to the test.

I try to login with the app and get an error.

I have vbadvanced installed and my index.php file is renamed to forum.php. I set the config to:
$config['index_page'] = "forum.php";

No variations I make work in either the config.php or cd.php file...

So whats next???

[yotsume]

Well I seem to have got this working by using the original forum.php file with the other files listed above. More testing to do! :) The other package seems to not have the db prefix coded right...

[softvnzla]

Installed and ready to walk the errors of the solutions given here are only a matter of searching ;)

[yotsume]

UNINSTALLED!

The actual windows program that is used for desktop notifications is PATHETIC as an interface.

This make this whole mod a pure waste of time...

Suggest code changes to improve this then.

[yotsume]

Suggest code changes to improve this then.

Agreed... I will come up with suggestion to make that program usable at all. As it stands its a huge waste of time to get this installed, working correctly, and then have such a limited program run on your desktop.

-List recent posts/threads
-List PMs inbox
-list anything would be good...

At some point Ill spend some time and make real details but I have wasted enough on this one already...

[squishi]

This mod looks great.
Unfortunately, I could not get this to work.
I get the message about problems on the server side.
I have edited all the config files and did all I could.
Very annoying...

[Negrosoo]

Good :)

But i use old methods xD


P.S: I install it :D , is very very beatifoul :)

[sixxkilur]

Took me maybe 5 mins to get this addon working, make sure you have PHP 5, and php_xmlrpc extension enabled the restart your web server. then #Editing

Rename all files in system/application/models directory into lowercases. i.e:
Forum.php => forum.php
Settings.php => settings.php
Token.php => token.php
User.php => user.php

if you are using a prefix for vbulletin in your sql database you need to make sure the forum.php in www/vbulletin-xml-rpc-server/system/application/models/forum.php
line 35: matches your prefix in your sql database example: FROM vb_thread t, vb_forum f, vb_post p, vb_user u if you are are not using prefix try this :FROM thread t, forum f, post p, user u save your edits and then configure your cnf speed dial file.

[sixxkilur]

now on to creating a custom notifier or modding this one for my forum, tried creating installer but not much luck there i get a main class error when executin launcher after install
install4j is new ground for me main class is not making since and help file sucks@$$ the box to input main class is blank and no item to search for so really could use some help on that if your not busy. other than that what it is it gets the job done.

What are you using to try to program your own notifier client? I might be able to help you out. if you want to work together on this just email: Ed@CheykaWebDesign.com

Thanks.

[Alfa1]

>>> search: config defined for package: vbulletin-xml-rpc-server
>>>> in this section set proper values to meet your needs
What do you mean by this? Search where?

now on to creating a custom notifier or modding this one for my forum
Are there instructions somewhere on how to customize the client?

It would be great if someone would rework the client, so that the information supplied is of better use.

I'd like to add important links, to the notifier.

Is it possible to have the notifier display all latest PMs, instead of just the last one?

I am not getting notifications about:

Member notifications:
- profile messages awaiting approval
- picture comments awaiting approval

Moderator notifications:

- events awaiting approval
- attachments awaiting approval

What am I doing wrong?

[sixxkilur]

Are there instructions somewhere on how to customize the client?


The documention included with the package is all I have found on it. This is located in the package in the apidoc directory. It is also located here http://www.nsuers.com/projects/vbxrs/apidoc/

[Alfa1]

That doesn't help me much. I am afraid. Did anyone else manage to customize the client?

Attached are the files. Backup your other folder and upload this one.

This works on my 3.8.6 with no issues. Try it and let me know if it works.

dear coder,
if possible, plz add arabic user name support

thanx in advance

[s810car]

I know this modification is probably long forgotten, but I always loved this application, so if anyone is interested, here is an updated product file and vbxrs_preference.php to use this with vBulletin 4. This was tested in 4.1, and only works IF you did all appropriate hotfix changes and meet other requirements of this mod, but no other changes needed to upgrade this to a vB4 version.
Another MAJOR thing you must do if in Vista or Windows 7 is run this the first time as administrator (right click exe file after installing, and select run as Administrator). This is so when you change the website to your own, the change will actually stick.
At some point I'd love to see this mod be brought back from the dead by the owner (or someone else with his permission), but until then I guess I'll have to hack this thing up myself :D GL to all!

[mykkal]

Does this work on 3.8.7 PL1?
