Instant Messaging

[DelFDgfd_gT]

Is it possible to build a hack with which you can send instant messages to members online on your bulletin board, something like ICQ or MSN, but then integrated in vBulletin. I'm not referring to the Message center hack, but that there is something like an option like next to send private message, which is called instant message, where you can type your message and the message will be displayed on the online members screen immediatly
Thanks in advance,

I don't think this is easy. But its possible with java applet.

that would be a great hack if someone could make it.

I just made on that sends WWPager messages to people on ICQ.

There are two files.

admin/installicq.php

This creates the template, and installs it into all the style sets(-1).

/{vbinstalldirectory}/sendicq.php

That's the actual file. I have not really integrated this very much into vBulletin, but whereever you want it, just link to sendicq.php?icqnum=68970597 where 68970597 is the ICQ number(that's really my ICQ number).



This hack works with vBulletin 2.0.3.

PS: I haven't added any error checking to this code as of yet, I also haven't integrated it into the user's profile. Maybe if any of you find it useful and like it, I'll develope it further. :)

i would like you to develop it futher

[Dennis Wrenn]

Ok. What else do you want to see on it?

integrated into the user's profile?
...

That's about all I can think of right now...

-Dennis :)

[smithy256]

yes plz

[Dennis Wrenn]

It's finally finished.

vBulletin Dev's/Mod's:

In my install code, I 'edit' the getinfo template, I can't edit it while in the MySQL database, so I have the entire template in the file, modified (a javascript function added, as well as something on the ICQ line) a little bit. Is this a violation of the vB rules? I'm not posting the code until I find out.

Thanks,
-Dennis

PS: Here's a screen shot.

But now you need your icq to be on, to display the message, while I want the message to be displayed without the use of any external programs like ICQ.

What you're requesting is a feature called "Private Messaging" which is already built into vBulletin.

Here's my ICQ hack, I talked to Mike and he said it's Ok to post full templates.

You put installicq.php in your admin directory and run it(it produces no output, so only run once). You put sendicq.php in your vBulletin directory. The option to send the WWPager message to an ICQ member only appears on the persons profile.

Please Note: If you are using a style set different from the original you will have to change installicq.php or the getinfo template will be different from your current one.

Another note: I haven't added code to remove the "Send" link if the person doesn't have an ICQ number.

I want it to be displayed instantly, like in a pop-up window.
I know there is somekinda java script for it, that opens up wordpad with the message in it.
It's only meant to be send to online users, if i pm the user and he doesn't see that he's got a private message, it could be untill the next day he replies to my pm. But if the message popped up instantly, he would be alerted immediate with the message

I'm gonna trie your hack though :)
