vBpad - Your personal notepad! (v1.0)

[Admin]

This will add a speical section to the User CP, called "My vBpad".

Started a reply but don't have time to finish it?
Need to save a certain sentence you use a lot? (*cough*)
Just put it there, and hit save!

Each pad can store multiple notes. Maximum number of notes can be set in the Admin CP.
You can also allow/disallow use of IMG code, vB code, smilies and HTML in notes.
Also storing the last time the pad was changed.

I was hoping that I could get fedback from you guys, and maybe turn this into something a lot better
So if you got any ideas, how this can be used to make life easier on a forum, please do not hesitate.

Wow, a great hack again. May I gonna try it later on my home PC since I don't need it on my server (yet).

[Admin]

Thanks orca.

Here is a screen shot of the main thing - for now, the only thing.
But I'm already working on a little add-on... :)

[Admin]

Figured it's a waste of time to navigate thru the User Control Panel just to read the notes, so I added this.
(screen shot attached)

Will update first post in a couple of minutes.

[chrispadfield]

this is a great plan, until now i have sent pms to myself ;)

the next feature would be able to have more than one notepad per person and an admin option to set the limit.

cool hack :)

[maverick1236]

WELL DONE FIREFLY!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!:D

[Admin]

Wait, it gets better.
I added a couple of new features:
Now with support for multiple notes.
Admin can set max number of notes a user can have, and max chars for each note.
I just need to fix a few things and I'll release it.

Until then I remove the code from my first post to avoid too many people installing an old version. :)

[MarkB]

Brilliant! I look forward to the release :)

[hacker]

GREAT HACK AGAIN FROM FIREFLY!!

Now, shouldn't it be just called vB Pad or My vB Pad instead of Your vBPad to be consistent :)?

[Admin]

Thanks hacker, I'll edit the templates.
(the reason I added "Your" there is because just vBpad looked small :p)
So I'll make everything "My vB Pad". (can someone edit the thread title for me? thank you!)

[tubedogg]

Keep in mind that $usercpnav is pretty wide as it is...Kier and I spent some time a few months back trying to fit a new link on it (and keep it fitting within 800x600) and it wasn't fun. :)

[Admin]

Then I think I'll remove the link from the navigation, and just link to that page from that box that shows the notes.
You don't happen to know if it's possible to add something like maxlength="xx" to <textarea>, do you?
I don't want to add Javascripts... ;(

[kamrad.ru]

I`m I want it :D

[Admin]

In a couple of minutes (really!).

[Admin]

Ok, it's done.

I added a lot of stuff, you can see everything by the screenshots I posted:
Main thing - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/attachment.php?s=&postid=182455
User control panel - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/attachment.php?s=&postid=182457
Admin options - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/attachment.php?s=&postid=182891

[webhost]

All works but the box does not show up to place notes in, a box comes up that has the following information in it
"Your notes:
Last updated: 10-08-2001 06:15 AM
You are allowed to have 10 notes, each can contain 250 characters
IMG code is , vB code is , smilies are , HTML is "

and says update my pad at bottom. When you click on update pad it gives you this error and then automaically goes back to the user profile.
warning varaiable passed to each () is not a array or an object at home/blab/blab/blab
on line 536

line 536 is this


while (list($key,$val)=each($notes)) {


I have ran queries and they look correct in database, also went into control panel set all vb pad options to yes and saved, and also updated all counters/
Any Ideas?

[kamrad.ru]

Database vbulletin
Error
SQL-query : [Edit]

INSERT INTO settinggroup (settinggroupid,title,displayorder) VALUES ('40','vBpad','32')

MySQL said: Duplicate entry '40' for key 1

Back

[webhost]

Did you install his first version, if so that might already be installed in that table. That is the reason you are getting the error, I got that error also but when i looked in the table it was there, so i went on with the install.

[Admin]

kamrad.ru, run this query and attach a screen shot of what you get (don't worry, no private info will be displayed):
SELECT * FROM settinggroup WHERE settinggroupid>'30'
OR PM me with access to phpMyAdmin and I will install this for you.

Webhost, very strange.
I thought it's a problem when the table is empty, but I already ruled that possibility out.
Are you sure you created the table?

Anyway, I updated the first post. Updated part is the code for member2.php.

[shadowbreed]

The pad works fine now, but nothing shows up on the My Vb Home page

[Admin]

Nothing at all?
Then you either didn't add the code to usercp.php, or didn't create the templates usercp_mininotepad and usercp_mininotepad_bit.

[shadowbreed]

oops,
i actually did all the changes but somehow it kept the old usercp.php in stead of the changed one, sorry to waste your time

GREAT HACK!!!

Maybe that can be kept shorter: All the Edit xxx is really redundant. Edit is not really needed as it is understaood. If so, vB Pad is sufficient instead of My vB Pad.

Installation was easy - thank you for this great hack!!!

(couldn't post any more in my post because I was over the max-chars limit! :eek:)

[BradC]

Great idea and great addon, I am going to install it on a dev board here in a bit before my college class :)

thanks FireFly :)

[Steve Machol]

Another excellent hack FireFly! :)

I have one question. How difficult would this be to limit to specific user groups? For instance, I am going to create a 'Premier Member' program for those people who donate to my site and something like this would be perfect as an added-on benefit for contributors.

[poil11]

i don't know if there is such a need for multiple notes fields. i think one semi large field would be fine. i don't know, because people can just add there notes into the one main one. either way i like the idea for notes. on newpost, or newreply or whatever, there should be a link directly to go to your notes. or an option in the cp to display your notes on those pages. i like how yu used my post for testing.

[kamrad.ru]

All work`s it`s realy COOL, thanks :)

[Justice]

great job FireFly

Also, I feel the same way as smachol, about the user groups...

[SirFaraz Khan]

when i run install_vbpad.php, it gives me this message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cpheader() in /home/411hype/public_html/forums/install_vbpad.php on line 15

[MarkB]

Just installed it! Thanks, it went flawlessly :)

- although, in the installer, it's a little confusing when it comes to editing the usercp template, as you actually need to edit usercp_nav to add in

<td bgcolor="$cpnav[8]">
<smallfont><b><a href="member2.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=notepad">My vBpad</a></b></smallfont>
</td>

not usercp itself...

Mind you, I'm easily confused :p

[SirFaraz Khan]

nobody can solve my problem?!
When i run the install file, the following error comes up!...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cpheader() in /home/411hype/public_html/forums/install_vbpad.php on line 15

[tubedogg]

You need to put that file in your /admin directory to run it.

Also, please enter your license information in your profile (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/member.php?action=editprofile). See the link in my sig for more info. Thanks!

[Admin]

Yup, sorry I didn't write it in my post.

MarkB, thanks for that, I'll fix it right away. :)

Steve, yeah it's very possible. Give me a couple of hours and I'll get to it. :)

Alright Steve, Justice, here it is.

[Admin]

Found a little (big) bug:
In member2.php, this code
if ($maxpadnum!=0 and $counter<=$maxpadnum) {
should be like this:
if ($maxpadnum==0 or $counter<=$maxpadnum) {

Updated the installer, but if you already installed this then you should do this change yourself. :)

[Justice]

thanks again FireFly. I'm gonna install this when I get home and tell you how well it goes

I guess I'll have to install phpMyAdmin or whatever it's called first. I haven't needed it thus far. :(

[Pingu]

Updated the installer, but if you already installed this then you should do this change yourself.
Which one? There's two installers posted: one in the first post and one a bit further on

And does the installer include the "only available to certain groups" thing?

[Admin]

There's only one installer, I'm just linking from the first post to the other.
And no, it doesn't have the usergroups thing.

[magistr]

I HAVE A PROBLEMS!

i tested installer in my local server for win2000 prof and installer not replace and changed fies!

what i do it incorrect?

installation script working, but not replace files

[jamesdasher]

Okay, these probably hook together...

1. Update it so that the submit system is a little more 'advanced' basically make it similar to the post form (with the vB code buttons, etc., and such) also add a "Subject Field" to it...

this would probably include changing the layout of the "vBPad" page some...

2. On the usercp page instead of listing the whole note list the titles, add a 'delete' button to each listing by the titles and an 'edit' button...

3. On the 'post' and the 'reply' forms add a link that says "save to vBPad" so in case they didn't have the time to finish it and all they would have to do would be click on that save it to it and then open it later on...

couple of suggestions these could be expanded a bit...hope you can do something with them, I would appreciate them a lot!

[SirFaraz Khan]

thanx tubdogg....i'll add my customer info in a sec.

How do i edit my usercp template?!

[Admin]

SirFaraz Khan, enter your license information and I'll tell you. :)

jamesdasher, these are really great ideas.
Specially like the third one!
I'll work on that when I get the time. :)

[DarkReaper]

Ah..the infampus "Unknown location" problem. Someone forgot to add support for this to online.php! Doh! :)

I'm workin on it, gimme a few minutes :P

[DarkReaper]

In online.php:

Find:


$userinfo[activity] = 'buddy';


Add below it:


} else if ($token1 == 'action=notepad') {
$userinfo[activity] = 'notepad';



Find:


case 'addprivateevent';
$userinfo[where] = "Adding Private Event to the <a href='calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'>Calendar</a>";
break;


Add below it:


case 'notepad':
$userinfo[where] = "Editing their <a href='member2.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=notepad'>vBpad</a>";
break;


Just noticed a bug! In online.php, the line "case 'addprivateevent';" should be "case 'addprivateevent':"

[beatbox]

My problem still stands.

[the_sisko]

Great thing!!!

What about a javascript popup on the reply and post pages so the user can put in all their notes with just one click!? For this it would be great if the notes could become a subject field!

[Admin]

The_Sisko, I'm working on adding titles to the notes.
It shouldn't take too long, but I don't have much time recently.

After that's done, it shouldn't be a problem to add a "Save to vBpad" feature. Just give me time... :)

[beatbox]

I got my problem fixed.

[the_sisko]

@FireFly: take your time....I know how it is with time ;)

But I think you got me wrong, I don't ask for a "Save to vB Pad". I'm thinking about a feature to output all your vB Pad data!

Lets say I use sometimes the same sentences. So it would be great if near the smilie popup on the post and reply page would be a popup where I can select my notes and with javascript I can so to speak "copy paste" the notes back into my message. Wouldn't be so hard to do this on my own. But would be a nice feature from the beginning! :)
So if you have time, think about it!

[jamesdasher]

The_Sisko, that is a very good idea, I would like that to be fitted into the idea I had with saved posts so you could just just select an entry and it would be inserted into the post...good idea!

FireFly,

Outstanding hack :)

Iv'e never been a big fan of most hacks but yours makes a huge step in improving the functionaility of vB for certain types of Communities.

Your hack should clearly be part of v 3. I encourage you to continue it's development. Gosh, take your time.

Time and date stamp
Pop-up to save data in pad
Quick printer dump of each note

A marvelous idea

[Silviu]

I got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: show_nopermission() in ......\member2.php on line 452

Make sure you link to member2.php?action=notepad and not ?action=vbpad.

<td bgcolor="$cpnav[8]"><smallfont><b><a href="member2.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=notepad">My vBpad</a></b></smallfont></td>

That's in usercpnav template. Shud i redo the complete install?

Did you add the code to member2.php?
Looks like you didn't...

Lemme adding it again, or at least check it :)

Find this code:

Replace it with this code:
(3 times)
$cpnav[7]="{secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[8]="{secondaltcolor}";

I only had it twice. It's not there a 3rd time. ??

[SirFaraz Khan]

Sir Steve...Same here...

FireFly, Yes i ran the queries. I don't think it created anything though.

[jamesdasher]

well, just to add some variety, FireFly, I just wanted to say GREAT HACK, got it working, and boy is it cool, look forward to more features!

[SirFaraz Khan]

FireFly, please help me. I would love to install your hack. I have a hiphop site and no other forum has a better use for this.

[SirSteve]

Mine seems to be working just fine with just replacing them twice instead of three times.

Thanks to Webhost I have corrected the problem. Was missing a template...doh!! :-)

[WEBDosser]

So where can i download this hack?.. i clicked on the link and just get told i am not logged in?..

[silence]

You have to enter your customer info in the user cp, or in the members area at vBulletin to download files.

[WEBDosser]

Sorry i have got it now.. just needed to change the vbulletin.com to vbulletin.org..

Thanx anyway..

[JZarate]

There are a free adjustments you need to make to the installer. Like the usercp part. V2.2.0 now has its own template for the usercpnav, so you need to alter the one too. I was actually able to do it myself. :)

[SWFans.net]

My customer info has been input at both vbulletin.com and vbulletin.org, yet I still get a permission error(standard vBulletin permission error like you get when trying to edit a post without appropriate rights) when trying to download the installer.

EDIT: Firefly and I have worked through the issue and my downloading problem has been resolved. Many thanks Firefly. :)

[JZarate]

I believe that vpad installed is in the admin folder of v.2.2.0

[mojotim]

Seamless install, nice job! :)

A question for you:
How would I got about adding fields into vbPad?

What I want to do is set up a ride log for users with it. It would have a field for time, distance...you get the idea.

[fury]

ok, THIS HACK ROCKS!

You rule, d00d! :D

Do you think there is any way to, for instance, make the vBpad notes and last updated time appear on the forum home page?

[Admin]

mojotim, I'm afraid it will be a bit hard considering the way it works now. :(

fury, I'll post the code here in a bit, ok? :)

[epi]

how do i make the data base changes on the first page? is there a php file to edit or do i have to add it too the data base? If i have to add it to the database how do i do that?

[DarkReaper]

Firefly: are there any differences in the code to be changed for 2.2.0? I went ahead and re-hacked it using the old install file, does the new one have anything different?

[Admin]

epi, all database changes are done automatically.

DarkReaper, I'm almost sure this works on v2.2.0. :)

[cyrus]

i installed this hack when i had 2.3.0 , worked GREAT ! had no problems what so ever.

no that i upgraded to 2.2.0, i get this error :-

i dont know what to do now as I dont know how to uninstall it or fix it.

can you help me FF ?? thanks

[mojotim]

I installed on 2.2, no problems :)

[Admin]

cyrus, have you rehacked your member2.php file already?
You get that error when you go to member2.php?s=&action=undefined-action.

[cyrus]

REhack ? I only modified member2.php when I first installed vbpad to my site when it was running on 2.0.3

I have done nothing to the vbpad side when I started using 2.2.0

It doesnt work in 2.2.0 if you installed it before on 2.0.3 and upgraded.

FF, do I need to change anything to make it work with 2.2 ?? I can send u the member2.php so you can have a look if you want ?

thanks FF !!!

[Crinos]

Got an error :(

Anything I did wrong along the way? Thanks.

That's because you overwrote the old, hacked file, with the new, unhacked file. You'll need to re-hack all the files :)

[over]

nice hack :) used ur last ver b4 and it rocked thnx

[bira]

FireFly, really nice addition - thank you!!!

One suggestion: it would be nice if I could set limit character and number of notes per usergroup. Eg, I'd give registered users only 5 notes each limited to 1000 characters, but I'd give my moderators more than that and the admins unlimited.

What I'm suggesting is moving the limitation from Options to the usergroup, like Private Messaging max buddies feature.

[Scrooge]

This sounds great and I am trying to install it but am confused. This is my very first attempt at installing a hack and I am very new, so please bear with my ignorance.

Here is what I did so far. I ran the script and started following instructions using myphpadmin. I ran all the queries on the first page, successfully. Kinda proud I got that far :)

Now I'm stuck. Okay, so I didn't get very far after all. The next step is "New Templates to Add". How do I do this? I looked all over and am not sure what to do. I looked under "templates" in myphpadmin but don't see add templates. Please help a newbie if you can. Thanks in advance.

[Scrooge]

doh! After spending two hours looking in the wrong place I think I found it :) This is done through the VB Admin CP right? Well, at least I got some reading in on phpadmin.

[tbloom2002]

excellent.. first installed hack for me and i wish they could all be this easy!! ;):D

[the_sisko]

Todays my hacking day so I put this one on my list and did it!

Users love it and I'm happy!
Well done!!!

Hi All. Just reading through the thread. How well does this install into 2.2.1? Completely compatible?

Thanks.

[Hooper]

Well Thank you FWC for the fast response. Glad you were around this evening. ;)

I noticed in the install file there are a few queries to make. No problem to do them manually but I guess the install script doesn't make the queries for you by any chance? May sound like a silly question, but I was wondering why there is an install script if it doesn't set up the tables, run queries etc....




Oh, before I forget FWC. What hack does your rollover effect on threads?

[Sinecure]

I installed this, but it doesn't even show up with anything in the admin panel, nore in the CP, weird :(

May sound like a silly question, but I was wondering why there is an install script if it doesn't set up the tables, run queries etc....Yeah, that's the exact gripe I had about this hack ... I ran the install file and made the changes to the PHP files yet I got the error (even posted (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=199144#post199144) about it in this thread, but no one bothered answering it).

Then I realized the install file wasn't actually "doing" anything, so I had to view the PHP file and run the queries one-by-one in phpMyAdmin ... it worked like a charm after that ... so I was kinda confused that the install file "worked" for everyone else but it didn't for me ...

[exodus]

vBpad rocks.

[Afterburner]

good work, its a great hack.

[White Knight]

I installed this for 2.0.3. I upgraded to 2.2.1.

I would really like to reinstall this hack but I need to know the files i need to edit since i cant run the installer. Can someone please help?

[bira]

run the installer and select "upgrade"

[White Knight]

i tried that.. i get this error.

Warning: Failed opening '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/forums/admin/install_vbpad.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in Unknown on line 0

[DelusionalMind]

SWEETNESS!!! installing this now!! :)

awesome job once again :)

[Andrus]

Well, I must have done something wrong. Not getting any errors, but when I go into user cp and click on the myvBpad link all I get is a blank white page? Any idea where I might have screwed up along the way?

[Andrus]

Nevermind! Doh! :rolleyes: Dummy here created a new template set rather than adding the new templates to the default.

Super Hack!

Andrus

[Lucky]

Great hack!

Just wondering if it can at all be made possible for the Admins to view members vBpad?

[Admin]

I wouldn't do that... but if you really want you can always check out the usernotepad table with phpMyAdmin.

[bira]

first PMs, now notepads :rolleyes:

[over]

excellent hack cheers :)

[Shenlong]

Hack gets bad rating on my part, didn't work for me, heh. i got this error:

so, :(

[Lucky]

This hack works perfect for me on 2.2.1.

Just follow the directions to a T.

I found this hack extremely easy to install.

[Shenlong]

Well I am glad you think so, but it wouldn't work for me, I don't know why that error just kept coming up, I wanted this to work but I guess it won't oh well, 1 hack i cant install :(

[Stretchr]

I've done quite a few hacks on our boards and initially had a problem with this one. Not saying it's the same for you but I found that, somehow, I'd missed a step. Even though I thought I'd gone over everything, still had made a mistake. With so many steps on the one page, I'd just skipped one. Once I corrected my error, the hack works great! Thanks!

[Admin]

Shenlong, you didn't run the queries you were told to run (CREATE TABLE and some more).

[Xelation]

Just installed it with no problems.... I have a question though... Is it possible to have admins and moderators to have a different ammount of characters than members? I want my mods and admins to have a 2000 character limit.

[Lucky]

That is a good idea!

[Sparkz]

I was looking through the code in the installscript, and I saw something that made me wonder a bit, namely:

INSERT INTO settinggroup (settinggroupid,title,displayorder) VALUES ('40','vBpad','32')
INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,'40','Maximum Characters per note','maxpadsize','250','The maximum number of characters that you want to allow per note. Set this to 0 to disable it.','','1')


For actions like this wouldn't it be wiser to do something like this:

$DB_site->query_first ("INSERT INTO settinggroup (title,displayorder) VALUES ('vBpad','32')");
$settinggroupid = $DB_site->insert_id ();
$DB_site->query_first("INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,$settinggroupid,'Maximum Characters per note','maxpadsize','250','The maximum number of characters that you want to allow per note. Set this to 0 to disable it.','','1')");


That way you should (in theory) be sure that you don't try to use some settinggroupid that is already in use.

Sure, it might be easy to edit the install file if this happens, but isn't my way much cleaner (again, in theory)? :)

[Sparkz]

...only now realising that you don't actually run the queries from your code *tired* :)

But my way would work pretty well, I think :p

[PhotoGenie]

I just installed this hack on 2.2.2 .. This hack was a brilliant idea in my opinion. Only thing i ran into during the install was in /root/members2.php where it tells you

Find this code:

$cpnav[7]="{secondaltcolor}";

Replace it with this code:
(3 times)

$cpnav[7]="{secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[8]="{secondaltcolor}";

I only found it twice so I only made 2 of the changes. I had it installed on 2.2.1 and its working just as well now as then. Colors are alternating right and everything. My personal rating on this hack is a 10!

[Admin]

I hate this hack. :(

[mondaynightmike]

So this does not run on 2.2.1 only 2.0.3?

[PhotoGenie]

It runs on both 2.2.1 and 2.2.2..

[Lucky]

Awww, FireFly! Don't hate this hack - it's really good! Just maybe a bit confusing. I have it working great on v2.2.1

[Lucky]

Me too.

Works great.

I hope it is incorporated in 3.0

[X-Fan]

Okay, I followed the install instructions to a "T" through all of the steps on my v2.2.1 board (upgrading to 2.2.2 soon), and I'm getting the same error that others have gotten:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: show_nopermission() in /home/virtual/site15/fst/var/www/html/xfan/forums/member2.php on line 577

The My vBpad link in the User CP of my board links to

http://x-mencomics.com/xfan/forums/member2.php?s=&action=notepad

So what could the problem be? For a news/articles heavy board like mine, this hack would be a dream come true. Someone please help!

[White Knight]

i dont know how i did it.. but i got the stupid thing to work!

[Admin]

X-Fan - You need to make the changes to member2.php and upload it as well. :)

This hack, is by far one of the dumbest, densest, stupidest, useless, pointless hack I ever wrote... I wouldn't install it for anything. Nor use it. I thought it would be a good idea but I soon understood it's worthless.
But, if you guys like it then my goal have been accomplished. :pleased:

[Cloughie]

Believe me, it is a very useful hack for such a news/articles focus heavy site such as mine. Thanks for your time and effort!!!

Hi

I Uploaded the file and ran it, the installation went through pretty smoothly but I dont see any options for it in the admin control panel. I am running V2.2.2, Is there anything I am missing or need to do?

help!!!!

[Omero]

I'd love to see a "Save post to Vbpad" button in new reply/new thread... its very useful if you don't have time to finish the post, and wanna finish it later.

Also a "Load note from vbPad" would rock :) Anyone can help me with that?

[DiscussAnything]

Sorry if this has been asked or explained already, but im a bit new to the code munching...

I installed the script, got no errors, completed the install...

but no changes appear in my 'user cp' area.

What should I look into changing?

[Admin]

Did you make all changes to the files? The installer doesn't do that by itself.

[Xelation]

I just recently found this problem with mine, when ever I go to edit password, or edit options... my vbpad goes black, does anyone know what could be happening? look at this....

thanks!!!

no problem buddy. :)

didn't work, I tried earlier today... sigh, now what could be the prob?

the problem exists in your member.php

Send member.php to me and I will take a look at it.

pm me for email addy.

I have found your problem.

I sent your member.php back to you.

Let me know the outcome.

[Robert9]

[ExcErr]

ok, i have some idea!
let's make some COOL, very cool VBPAD:
1. user can add some settings to this vbpad:
a) how can see it(usergroups or usernames)
b) how can add comments to his vbpad
2. all vbpads of users can see other users. all vbpads are stored in vbpad top(store by number of comments)
3. user can choose his own vbpad style - color, text size...
sorry for my english

[OpalCat]

I downloaded the hack, went along smoothly... downloaded and successfully installed phpMyAdmin ...

Got to the part where it asked me to edit the various php files for vbulletin and it went smoothly except that one of the instructions said to find a certain line and replace it 3 times in a file but it was only in there 2 times as far as I could find both using a Find command and looking manually...

...the settings show up in my admin area but when I go to the actual pad in my user cp... I get a big white blank nothing. :(

You did not create the table, run the query as the install file tells you to.

I've gotten mine working (somehow I must have clicked the "next" twice by mistake as the first time around I never even saw the part where you add templates... LOL!) but there is one part still not working, and that is on the main user cp page. It says I've never updated, and shows nothing. I have two notes currently.

Hi :)

I uploaded this file and ran the install, but when I go into usercp, I dont see anything! What am I doing wrong??? :dead:

[Jeremy W.]

I'm getting a generic "Parse Error" at the end of my file, in this case, line 577.

Help! :(

edit: whoops, sorry, member2.php
I ran all the queries, did all the file changes, add all the templates, modified all the templates.

[Admin]

You probably forgot to close a bracket in your code, might have pased the new code in the wrong place.

Email me with your member2.php and I'll see what I can do.

[Jeremy W.]

I was having some other problems so I took it back to the original member2.php file and then did the 2 minor changes as required in the install sequence.

I've emailed you the file, I'll try and work on stuff at my end as well.

[Jeremy W.]

K, I added an extra bracket (though it wasn't in the install sequence) as suggested and now the rest of the features work, but vBpad doesn't.

The only alteration to the code I sent you should be an extra } at the end of the file before the ?>

edit: and the final result I have now is a white screen when I go to vbPad, but the rest of the site now works (:phew:) :)

[Admin]

I sent you the updated file, you missed a bracket before the vBpad code.

[asarian]

I must be doing something wrong. I ran the script, it said it installed just fine, never gave any error message, but it never actually added anything, nor created any new tables and such. :(

- Mark

[Admin]

You need to do that yourself...

[Jeremy W.]

Yeah, I simply installed FireFly's SQL tool and was away to the races. Truly sorry for the confusion FireFly... After doing it 5 times I thought it was just about impossible I had missed such a small thing.

Thanx for your help :)

i however have no clue about mysql.

I only know how to create the db's, not "run querys".

and about: "If you with your "poor lame ass" reading skills can't read what the script says, don't even bother installing hacks. "

I've installed more then 300 Ultimate Bulletin Board hacks and they have all worked. And PLUS! their readme's were in detail so that even a n00b like me can install them.

You however, Just keep saying "Run the queries"

well, HOW?

I promise that I have searched every thread in this topic and cannot find the answer to my problem.

I installed this hack on my 2.2.6 board. Everything appeared to go well. Before testing it out, I went into the admin controls and altered the settings to only allow one box with 1000 characters. I then went to the VBPad option in the UserCP, and I saw TWO boxes that said 'Welcome to your personal vBpad!'

I entered some test texted into one and clicked update my pad, and they it took me to the main userCP section.

I then clicked my vbPad again and now it still shows the 'Welcome to your personal vBpad!' twice, but now also the test test I had entered... but there are TWO boxes for that as well, as if I entered it in twice.

Why is this happening, I would appriciate any help.
Thanks in advance...

BUMP!

[2 X Viverridae]

@ DanIAm - I attempted to duplicate your problem on my test board, and came up with the following.

Check your usercp_notepad_bit template.

It should be...

<tr>
<td bgcolor="$bgcolor" nowrap><normalfont><textarea name="notes[]" rows="5" cols="62">$val</textarea></normalfont></td>
</tr>

If, you check, I think you will find you have the above entered 2 times in the template, and it should only be once.

Hope this helped.

[2 X Viverridae]

@ Firefly - I just noticed that if you delete ALL your notes, the last updated says 'Never' as opposed to the time you last deleted all your notes. Not a big deal...:D

Any word on this and 2.2.7?

[DanIAm]

I decided to go ahead and reinstall the hack on my 2.2.7 board.

The vBPad itself works fine and seems to be without error.

However in my admin control>vBulletin Options
panel> the vBPad section duplicates every option. I have included a pic for reference. <see below> It shows the default option settings, as well as the option setting I had configured when 2.2.6 was installed. What can I do to correct this?

i've install on my forum 2.2.7 and work fine, great hack!

[Boofo]

Did anyone ever come up with a way to have this have different option limits for different usergroups? Or even have an option to have the Admin and whoever else he wants to bypass the max notes and max character limits?

[Boofo]

Does anyone know the queries I need to run to set the max number of notes allowed and the max characters allowed for each usergroup in the database for this? I can figure out the rest if I can get that part done.

[Erwin]

There's no need for queries. If you install the hack correctly, you can set those options in your Admin CP under vBulletin Options, vBPad Options.

[Boofo]

No...No...that's not what I mean. I want to be able to set the max notes and max characters for EACH usergroup, not just global, which is the way it does it now.

Could anyone please tell me what I did wrong for my admin options to look like this only for vbPad:

I got the following error

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/mindsigh/public_html/path/member2.php on line 148

Parse error: parse error in /home/mindsigh/public_html/path/member2.php on line 148

Does this work in 2.2.8?

How many queries per page does this add?

If it does add queries, which pages does it add and how many?

FireFly I keep getting an error when I try to run this:

INSERT INTO settinggroup (settinggroupid,title,displayorder) VALUES ('40','vBpad','32')

I think that 40 is being used for the g-forces warning hack and if it is the 32 that something is there also. Do you know what I can do?

I've meticulously followed all the directions in the install, checked and rechecked several times, and still get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/mydomain/public_html/forum/member2.php on line 493

I don't see it.

I'm running vb version 2.2.6

What gives. Anybody know?

[BigCheeze]

OK...I'm sorry... I guess I'm being stupid. (Like normal)

This Install PHP is an acutaly installer? Or a set of instructions. And I need to install phpMyAdmin prior to installing???

Sorry... for the stupidness.... And Thanks!!!

[N9ne]

Bump, can anyone confirm this working with 2.2.8 without any bugs?

Also, Dark Shogun: I have the warning hack installed too, so I will encounter the same problem as you, can a whizz at PHP help us out please?

[Data]

I installed the install_vbpad.php file correctly, but I don't know what to do now. What exactly do I have to edit, and what's this about the license information...

[Data]

OH wait, I updated my profile info, I'm Redshifted. I just use Data too. What's more, I edited my usercpnav template to add the My vBpad cell, but when I click on the link, I get a blank page.

[Data]

Well, I'm glad that no one wants to help me out. */sarcasm* :p

[N9ne]

Hehe no one wants to help me out either, we're on the same boat and it's sinking ;)

[Dean C]

Works fine for me on 2.2.8 :D

Right, got it installed. For those of you who have the Warning System hack by g-force installed, in the queries you have to run, replace all instances of 40 with 41.

Is it possible so when someone is posting, they can "call" something from their vB pad? Ie. it could just include the code into their post...from their pad. Like maybe have it so when they add a note into their vB pad, a number or some sort of indentification is assigned to it and while posting [newthread, newreply, quickreply], they can simply type some variable in and it will be parsed?

[Data]

Eh, I "installed" the file, but I get a blank page with the member2.php file ...that's when I click on the My vBpad link. What does that mean?

[N9ne]

Did you create all templates correctly?

[Data]

You say all......I edited one. Which are they, and what do I put?

[N9ne]

Did you run install_vbpad.php in your admin directory? It gives full instructions, first it tells you which queries to run, then it tells you which templates to create and what to put in them and then it tells you file edits you need to make, then it tells you what template modifications you need to make...

[Data]

Yeah, ugh. I need to double check things, but that's on Friday. The PC lab administrators at my university don't allow program installations, and I don't have one at my dorm. :(
...I'll get back to you on it, though.

[BigCheeze]

Awesome hack!! I just got it installed. BTW.. Take a look at this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39663 to have an EASY way to run the SQL Querys!!

[DanIAm]

Is anyone still providing support for this?
