vBStatus - Facebook Style Status Updates (v5)

[Attilitus]

Compatible with 4.x.x
vBStatus allows your users to update their status to tell other members what they are doing/thinking at any given time. A user's status is displayed under their names in their postbit, in their User Profile, and anywhere else you choose!

User's can edit their status quickly and easily via AJAX.

Features and Configuration options include:


Admin Option: Turn modification on/off
Admin Option: Ban usergroups from updating their status.
Admin Option: Set a max character count for status messages.
Admin Option: Set the number of characters of a status message displayed per line. (Word wrapping will occur for status messages longer than this defined value.)
Admin Option: Define a standard status prefix to be appended to the start of all status messages after the username. (i.e. Attilitus is doing something.)
Admin Option: Define a default status for users with a blank status.
Admin Option: Define the character set used for encoding status messages. (The default value of this option should work for most character sets.)



Feature: Status messages may be updated in-line.
Feature: All languages and character sets are supported. (Most, if not all, should work with the default encoding option. Others may require some configuration in the admin options.)
Feature: Users may press the Enter key to confirm their status update.
Temporarily Deactivated in v5: Admin Option: Allow defined usergroups to modify other user's status updates. (For moderation purposes)
There are 4 template edits for this hack. The installation readme file will guide you through the entire process.

Version 5.1


Support for non-english characters has been added.
A small modification was made to the installation script to make it more robust.

Upgrade Instructions: Reupload all files (allow overwrite), and reimport the product (allow overwrite). No additional template edits are required to for the upgrade.


Version 5.2


Users may press the Enter key to submit their status.

Upgrade Instructions: Reupload all files (allow overwrite). No additional template edits are required for this upgrade. You may reimport the included product, if you desire, to update the version number to 5.2

Version 5.2.1


Extra white space will no longer appear in the status update input field.



Version 5.3


Important security update to fix a cross site scripting exploit.

Upgrade Instructions: Reupload all files in the upload folder to your forum root, and allow overwrite. It is not necessary to re-import the product xml file.


Note: The files available in this thread will always be for the most recent version of the modification.

If you previously used vBStatus in vB 3.x your member's old status messages will be preserved.

Note: Please let me know immediately if you encounter any problems, so that I can iron out any bugs within the first 24 hours of release.

[Bacon Butty]

Brilliant. Rated 5 star and marked installed. Been waiting for this. Thanks very much.

Would be cool to see a forum block widget that displayed the most recent status updates :)

[Kolbi]

I guess yesterday there was published a very similar hack?

[Attilitus]

I guess yesterday there was published a very similar hack?
This is an upgraded version of a 3.7 modification that I published about two years ago.

[Bacon Butty]

Just one small thing Attilitus.

When you enter the status update and save, there is no space after the username and where the status update begins. This comes only after a refresh?

So immediately after saving the status update, it looks like this with no space;

Only after a refresh, does the space appear;

No biggie but I, and members did notice it;

[dianna]

Nice mod installed and working great!!!!

[Attilitus]

Bacon Butty,

I cannot reproduce your problem, the spacing works fine for me with the template code I provided in the installation instructions. You should be able to fix template bugs like this by manually editing the template code inside the <!--BEGIN VBSTATUS--> <!--END VBSTATUS--> blocks inside the postbit and memberinfo templates.

Also what browser are you using (including the version number)?

[daveaite]

nice hack

[doemasters]

tried to install but would not let me edit

Did you make all of the template edits detailed in the installation file? PM me your forum's URL and the username/password of a test account so that I can debug with Firebug. (If you want me to look for a quick fix.)

Ah. Suspected it was an error my end and it looks the case if you're not seeing the error. I'll have an edit later and see what I can do.

Strange one though, given that it's resolved on refresh/page load. I could PM you a test account login if you'd like to see out of curiosity.

The browser was Firefox 3.6.3.

Fantastic mod though. I'm just hoping some clever sod can work out how to pull all the status updates and display them on the forum home like on here (http://www.manlystuff.com/forum/index.php) and here (http://fmdiscussion.com/forum.php)

[Attilitus]

Bacon Butty,

There are some carefully placed whitespace characters in the template code blocks I provided. If any of them got deleted during your edits, things might be visually unpleasing. Its also possible this is an error on my part, or indicative of a "not-robust" component of my work. If that ends up being the case, then I'll issue a fix. (but I will wait until I see if someone else encounters the same problem.)

As for obtaining aggregate status update information: currently the status updates are not saved, nor are they associated with a timestamp. So it will not be easy for third party developers to create addons. I may consider adding these features in the future, or merely adding a status history table to make vBStatus more addon developer friendly.

~Tim

[doemasters]

thanks for the help, i uploaded it to the wrong area

Great mod

[Allan]

What is the difference with this hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243754) ?

[Attilitus]

Allan,

That hack implements similar functionality. Aside from that, they are not related. You can judge the differences for yourself, I have not installed the other modification.

[ChopSuey]

I prefer installing this one instead of the other one :)

thanx for the hard work

[War.Frog]

What is the difference with this hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243754) ?

The other one doesn't require any template edits - it's just an upload and install. Any possibility of implementing a similar experience here?

[SliceofLife]

Hey! Installed and tested and working very well on my forum! Thanks for this one, I really like it.

Just wondering how to make the text of the 'status update' to be bold?

[Attilitus]

SliceofLife,

You can make the status update bold by making a simple modification to the template.

Find <!--BEGIN vBStatus--> in your postbit/postbit_legacy/memberinfo templates and find the first <div> tag in the block. Replace that <div> tag with <div style="font-weight:bold">.

You should be able to figure out how to make other simple edits like this by looking at the template code.

War.Frog,

I am not planning on making these template edits automatic. They are simple, and would make the installation process less transparent.

Thanks so much for this Attilitus.

Working very well on my forum, no problems at all. Cheers. Very happy, great job - well done! :D

I too, had a look at the other status update mod and I preferred this one's functionality over the other one, and the members like the ease of use.

[Blackhat]

would be nice if recent status updates could be listed on the sidebar

[Attilitus]

BlackHat,

As mentioned before, the status messages are never permanently saved. Once you update your status, your old status is gone forever. If I ever decide to implement some kind of aggregate feed, like the one you described, then I will store a history of past status updates in a table.

[ivanp]

Are the phrases still hardcoded? It would be nice to move them to language part of admin panel, to be able to translate them :) Thnx.

[Attilitus]

ivanp,

Phrasing seems like a good idea, but I don't think it is all that important. Assuming that the forum administrator understands English, translating the sparse phrases in the templates should not be difficult. I believe the only words visible to the user are "Edit" and "Save," and the rest of the words (like the default status and status prefix) are already customizable in the admincp.

[STORMS]

We just installed this but it doesn't seem to be working. Where do we go to edit our status?

It is enabled and installed.

Any help?

[Attilitus]

STORMS,

Did you read the instructions text file included with the modification? There are 4 template edits that you need to make.

~Tim

[fluidswork]

Awesome .................

[betts02]

Great mod and working fine

I see the other post for the bold but how would i place the bold and a different colour ?

Cheers

[Attilitus]

betts02,

To make the status related text bold I edited the style attribute of a div tag. You can learn more about the style attribute of document elements at w3schools.com. Here is a link to the specific page that will help you: http://w3schools.com/html/html_styles.asp

By perusing w3schools.com you should be able to learn how to make any basic template change that you want, so it is worthwhile to spend a few hours going through their HTML section chapter by chapter: http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp

~Tim

[lucybb]

There is an option, for administartors or mods (basically any entered usergroups) been able to edit status of any user, It doesn't seem to work, also if I have a look into your code to be placed into a template I see only condition for usernames to be equal, nothing about usergroups. Did I missed something??

There is missing the condition "is admin??"
Regards
lucybb

[Attilitus]

lucybb,

You missed the part of the modification thread in which I stated that this option is temporarily unavailable in v5.

[lucybb]

I'm sorry my apologies, thanks for your reply, I will be waiting for your updates.

[Sports Investor]

Nice Mod. Installed and working fine!

[fire999]

Great mod, except that I am unable to change the STATUS via the Postbit.

Apparently, this is a Javascript error.

Am on 4.0.0, any idea on how to resolve this?

[Attilitus]

fire999,

Make sure that you have followed the instructions in the included text file and made all of the required template modifications. If that does not work, give me your URL and I will diagnose the problem.

i am having the same problem... it was working for a bit then stopped...

http://www.phantank.com :confused:

[Attilitus]

dankreiner,

The problem is most likely due to a conflict between two javascript frameworks: jQuery and mootools. I use mootools, and it appears as though tinychat, which you have installed on your board, uses jQuery.


<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.phantank.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.phantank.com/tinychat.js"></script>


The problem arises because both jQuery and mootools use the name "$" as a global reference to the jQuery and document.id objects respectively. To fix the problem do the following:

Open the file vbstatus_javascript.js

Find every instance of "$(" and replace it with "document.id("

Check to see if this fixes your problem.

~Tim

[gamerzhut]

Thanks a lot...!

Works like a charm :)

[Guest20210415]

Is it right that v5 doesn't use any more plugins and doesn't have any own templates?

v4 did have.

[sross]

anyone have a demo i can view? thnx

[RobbieZ]

Thanks - Great Mod

Because the Edit button is so close I changed it slightly.

In the code for postbit/legacy find Edit</a>

and replace with

<img alt="Edit" src="images/buttons/edit_40b.png" title="Edit"></a>

Now you get the nice pen feature :D

[Front Range 4x4]

Thanks Attilitus, nice & easy! Just the way it's supposed to be.

This worked for me brilliantly, thank you! :D

[Fishing620]

Attilitus

Just what I was looking for, thanks for putting this together. This appears to have a little better functionality then the other mod out there.

I saw it asked a few times here about the ability to save past updates and have a roll out page. You mentioned how you would do such a thing. I was wondering if for a few bucks you would move forward with that next version. Basically updates would be saved in a user's profile and there would be one page where status updates from all users rolls out. I know doing this stuff takes work and am willing to pay some loot to help get this done. Any chance you're interested in making it happen?

Thanks

[ivanp]

Attilitus, is it possible to remove dependency on mootols.js? Every page is loading this file having 100 KB.

[Nemke]

I wood like to know this also, really is there reason for this much of overhead on every page?

[ivanp]

Indeed, v4 used ajax_wrapper.js having 2 KB only. This should be incorporated in vbstatus_javascript.js and mootools.js dependency completely removed.

[Patrick Melton]

I second the removal of mootools, and a sidebar block that show the x most recently updated statuses would make this mod a killer!

[utahraves]

vBStatus v6.zip.... the thread here shows 5.3... and when I 'upgrade' I show 5.2 on my forums. :p

[sross]

anyone have this running on postbit legacy? If so can you post a link. thnx!

[PrincessFiona]

I really like this. Is there a way to add even more functionality? I would be neat if users could respond to the status update somehow (like facebook) with the status posting in the user's visitor message center and any responses posting there too.

I'm trying to add a little more FB style functionality to the forums that extends beyond the regular posting capabilities.

[everfresh2]

someone used this for 4.0.8 ?

[way2xtreme]

A great mod, is is possible to have 3 or 4 random default msg instead of just one?

Right now everyone all has the "has no status." message which looks funny,

"loves to eat."
"needs to study."
"is on facebook"
etc, etc, etc

[way2xtreme]

or, the "Mr Soso has no status" is only visible to Mr Soso himself.
Thanks..

[OurCouponHome]

We have had this running for awhile and all of a sudden, it won't let us edit the status.

[BioWaffen]

I got a question: Is it possible not to show the person´s name in the profile?
Because it is already displayed once in the MEMBERINFO, so it´s unnecessary I think.
I only want to use a Status Prefix + the Status itself, but not the name.

With best regards
BioWaffen

so this doesn't work for 4.1.2? too bad.

[Mark.B]

Instead of people just posting "it's not working in 4.1", could they please post WHAT aspect of it is not working and WHAT error messages they are getting?

Nobody has a hope of being able to assist and/or offer potential fixes for any issues if all we get is "it's not working".

[BlessedFWI]

I loaded it and it is enabled but it isn't showing in the postbit. I don't get any error messages...it just doesn't show up. I love this mod too. :(

[JasonReynolds]

All works apart from wont let me edit the status

Works fine for me, I'd just like to be able to have a status edit box on the forum home page.

[DNN]

Does this mod also update their Facebook wall automatically ?

[Mark Hewitt]

No.

[toxin]

I've had to uninstall this.

The javascript in the headinclude template caused the new CKEditor in 4.1.4 to stop working.

[S S0DEN]

Does not allow you edit your Status with the 4.1.4 update. Worked prior to the update, but not after. Had to uninstall it.

[sticky]

Is it possible instead of just banning usergroups to ban specific users?

[WDS]

I tried it in vB 4.1.4 and not function, everything is installed correctly and others, but when editing from the postbit is impossible.

as I can make it work?

Greetings.

Your instructions are VERY confusing and unclear. I'd like this mod, and I followed your instructions as best I could. I uploaded the contents of "Upload" to the forum, and then I added the product. It is not working. I dunno what to do. >.<

[Dave Hybrid]

What would be great is if status rotated in small line box oh forum home, say under the navbar.

So status updated in last x min show or something.

[howarde]

It appears as though this mod causes the CKeditor to not allow users to switch to "Source Mode" it makes the screen grey out. Any ideas?

[rajcolmo]

Thought it was working then found it does grey out the CKeditor box. Too bad... looks great!!!

[onealien]

looks dope...
installed and working great!
thanks

[Mark.B]

I have at least found the piece of code in Mootools that causes the conflict.
However I have no idea how to remedy this.

In mootools.js there is this function:

(function(){

var nativex = {'Array': Array, 'Date': Date, 'Function': Function, 'Number': Number, 'RegExp': RegExp, 'String': String};
for (var n in natives) new Native({name: n, initialize: natives[n], protect: true});

var types = {'boolean': Boolean, 'native': Native, 'object': Object};
for (var t in types) Native.typize(types[t], t);

var generics = {
'Array': ["concat", "indexOf", "join", "lastIndexOf", "pop", "push", "reverse", "shift", "slice", "sort", "splice", "toString", "unshift", "valueOf"],
'String': ["charAt", "charCodeAt", "concat", "indexOf", "lastIndexOf", "match", "replace", "search", "slice", "split", "substr", "substring", "toLowerCase", "toUpperCase", "valueOf"]
};
for (var g in generics){
for (var i = generics[g].length; i--;) Native.genericize(natives[g], generics[g][i], true);
}
})();

With that function in place, I can make the status editing work, but CKEditor is broken.

Now, you will find that if you REMOVE the second line of this function:
for (var n in natives) new Native({name: n, initialize: natives[n], protect: true});

It goes the other way round...the status editor is broken, but CKEditor works.

Sadly I haven't faintest notion how to resolve this, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know

[Levi75]

what a about á,é,í,ó,ú letters with accents

[gkuhlmann]

I had the same problem with CKeditor being broken with this mod on vB 4.1.10. I solved the problem by rewriting the mod's JavaScript to use jQuery (which we include in our forum anyway).

The functions vbstatus_formkill(), vbstatus_change_status() and vbstatus_update_status() in the file vbstatus/vbstatus_javascript.js need to be replaced with the following code:

function vbstatus_formkill(e){
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
}
function vbstatus_change_status(statusID,userID,inputID,edi tboxID,statusboxID)
{
jQuery('#'+inputID).val(jQuery.trim(jQuery('#'+sta tusID).text()));
jQuery('#'+statusboxID).hide();
jQuery('#'+editboxID).css('display','inline');
jQuery('#'+inputID).keydown( function(e){
if(e.which==13){
vbstatus_update_status(statusID,userID,inputID,edi tboxID,statusboxID);
e.preventDefault();
}
});
if( jQuery('#inlinemodform').length > 0 ) {
jQuery('#inlinemodform').submit( vbstatus_formkill );
}

}

function vbstatus_update_status(statusID,userID,inputID,edi tboxID,statusboxID)
{
var update_url = 'vbstatus.php?do=update_status';
var update_text = jQuery.trim(jQuery('#'+inputID).val());
jQuery.post( update_url, {'status':update_text}, function( response ) {
if ( typeof( response.updated_status ) != 'undefined' ) {
if ( response.updated_status ) {
jQuery('#'+statusID).html( response.updated_status );
} else {
jQuery('#'+statusID).html( 'hat noch keinen Status' );
}
jQuery('#'+editboxID).hide();
jQuery('#'+statusboxID).css('display','inline');
}
if ( jQuery('#inlinemodform').length > 0 ) {
jQuery('#inlinemodform').unbind('submit',vbstatus_ formkill);
}
jQuery('#'+inputID).unbind('keydown');
}, 'json' );
}

NOTES: The parts that set/remove the submit event handler on the 'inlinemod' form have not been tested yet.
The code above has been tested with jQuery 1.6.4
Accented and other special characters seem to work (tested with Firefox 10 and IE 9)
I used jQuery() rather than the shorthand notation $ because we set jQuery.noConflict() in the header. If you are sure the $ identifier is not used otherwise (e.g. no other javascript framework is included), you can of course replace the "jQuery" with "$"

[pyes]

this code odes not exist.
find: {vb:raw prepared.onlinestatus}

[DoubleGlasses]

I installed this today and I thought it was working but then when I switch pages - my status changes to just the text - utf-8

Is there something I did wrong?

[GhostHunter2010]

any live demo..

[ywwz]

working on 4.1.11?

[FTG LIQUID CL]

i added to 4.1.12,i see the status update,but when i click edit it does not do anything,any ideas why

[edytwinky]

How hard do you think it would be to make the vBStatus get posted to a specified thread. So there's on particular thread that shows all vBStatus' instead of having to look at the postbit?

[PrincessFiona]

I've wanted that for a long time!

[TerryMason]

gkuhlmann,
Thank you for posting that. It's alittle over my head, but it still allowed me to get everything working.

I updated the vbstatus/vbstatus_javascript.js file with the code that gkuhlmann provided, then changed my headerinclude template, replacing my old vbstatus information with this:


<!--BEGIN VBSTATUS-->
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->options['vbstatus_active']">
<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/jquery/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/vbstatus/vbstatus_javascript.js"></script>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>
<!--END VBSTATUS-->



I've removed the reference that loaded mootools, and added one that loads jquery-1.6.4.min.js, which is included in my copy of vbulletin 4.1.11. I wrapped this thing in an "if you are a member then show this" conditional, since I don't believe that guests need this 100k or so of javascript.


Let me know if I've done this wrong.

[unit12stealth]

Does this work with vb4 4.2 version?

EDIT: Also, how can I make status updates appear in a forum block on the side? Like showing a list of users with their status...

Would appreciate any assitance with this.

Thanks

[unit12stealth]

Sorry for double post. I installed this plugin on 4.2... and it pretty much disabled posting on the forum. No one could post, except for me. So.. i had to uninstall it to reenable posting.

I've got this working on 4.2, if I remember correctly you've got to make a few changes as it doesn't 'working out of the box' as there is a conflict with the CKEditor - if you check back through the thread you should see some changes that are required to work with 4.2

Can a dev/coder update this modification so it works with vb 4.2.1? It is a mini mod but it is a great one.

[ozzy47]

It is not marked as reusable code, so someone could update it for you, but it would only be of use to you.

Best place to ask may be here in the paid requests section, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=30

Anyone know where I can get the code to have a forum block of status updates?

Would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks

That caused by your language encoding. it must be utf-8, otherwise, it will be messy all the times.

if you have Arabic pack with utf-8 encoding then it should work fine, but you still need to add utf-8 to the mod setting

yes, that's right. There are 18 items of $( so you can do that using notepad++

if you are new to this, then here is the file with changes made.

just added that but the 'edit' link isn;t working

[fxdigi-cash]

make sure that the script is linked to where it has to be shown.

most of the times it is this issue...

also check your settings in your admin cp and save it...

try it out again and see...

you have vb4.x.x, right?

[DreadsUK]

make sure that the script is linked to where it has to be shown.
Do you mean right click 'edit' and see what link/url it gives?


you have vb4.x.x, right?

Yea 4.2.2

[DreadsUK]

if i right click and open link in new window, i get 'about blank'

if i hover over the 'edit' link, this comes up at the bottom of the screen

ok, can you use the inspection tool in the browser i.e. if FF then you need to download firebug as an add-on then right click/ inspect element with firebug

you need to reload the page to see what's happening..

if you can't understand that, then send me a PM with temp user and pass so I can look at it inside your forum.

I guess the issue is not that hard to resolve

[fxdigi-cash]

I just found out that your site is on your signature. I looked at it using firebug and found many issues lead to
Internal Server Error

you need to fix these issues. do you have your javascripts on subdomain or something??

if yes, then you need to reconfigure that one because it is misconfigured...

[fxdigi-cash]

This is a major update for this mod since no one has updated for long time!!

I had to re-modify the error and syntax issues to make it work on vb4.2.x

to install it, upload the files in the upload folder and then install the product .xml

if you had previous versions, either delete them or overwrite them.

enjoy the great mod!! :)

Edit: if you have vb.4.2.2, it may not work as the box editor is not compatible with this mod. That issue is fixed in vb4.2.2 pl1 so please install the latest version of vb4 ==> vb4.2.2 pl1

Update #2: I apologize for not paying attention to arranging the files correctly. I re-uploaded the files the right order so you have no issues or conflicts when uploading. Tested on the latest versions.

[fxdigi-cash]

I had to re-arrange the files correctly so now no issues when installing this mod.

enjoy! :)

[rbharathi]

Thanks for the Awesome Mod :D
Works perfectly in VB 4.2.2 :)

[Marcin1]

Very nice mod :)

Is possible to set automatically update status once a save button is clicked without reload a page?

The words like admin forum moderator should be exluded.

Censorship is disabled on this mod?

Any chance to add smileys replacing texts?

/edit

The users couldn't add posts after mod was installed (me too). The reply box was grey instead white and ready for writing words... What's happened?

[xyzmaria2001]

Works perfectly on 4.2.4. Thank you!
