Updates in Version 2.0.4

DHTML popup for Sending New Pager and Replying.
Upgrade from version 2.0.0 and 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 inlcuded.
New option in ADMINCP for Hard deleting messages.
Introduction:
vB pager is a new refined & light paging system that enables authorized users to exchange short & quick messages amongst each other. Unlike the regular private messaging system, the paged user is guaranteed to read your message & reply to it (if you choose this option) instantly & easily.

Features:

You won't need to log on your CP to send a message, just click on the pager icon next to the name of the user you'd like to page! (See Screenshots)
Switch the paging system on or off anytime you wish!
Specify who gets to use the paging system by Usergroup, or even User IDs to send messages to your forum members.
vB Pager users can send pager messages to members of the forum and/or non-registered guests from the WhoisOnline's page.
Optional Anonymity: you can choose to hide your username when paging another user on the forum, & define which Usergroup or User IDs can utilize this option.
Restrict the number of characters in each message: you can restrict the use of this paging system to short messages only by simply typing in the maximum number of characters that can be used. The window comes in with a built-in character counter to enable the user to keep track of the characters typed.
Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages member has, can be viewed and deleted.
Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages (Deleted and Unread messages) for all members can be viewed and deleted through the Admin CP.

[NuclioN]

so far no errors :) Is it correct by upgrading you don't have to overwrite/replace the pageradmin.php?

[uae]

nope, you don't need to replace it :)

what you will need to replace is pager.php only and the installer for upgrading.

[Polo]

Cool :cool: thank you for sharing with the community uae ;)

ERROR TIME!

Fixable, I am sure. :nervous:

I uploaded all of the files, checking them twice.

When I run the vbpager_install.php file (from admincp folder), I get the following database error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE vb3_language ADD `phrasegroup_vbpager` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'phrasegroup_vbpager'

Do you have any ideas as to what went wrong?

[C.Birch]

Duplicate column name 'phrasegroup_vbpager'


you already have a column by that name in your database, so the edit that the upgrade code is trying to do can ot work due to it.

[TwinsX2Dad]

I figured that, so I went into phpMyAdmin and searched for all examples of it. I found one, then deleted the table.

Then I went back in and tried the install again - same result. So, I used the install file to uninstall whatever it had done, then checked the database again and deleted the table (again), then retried the install.

Same result.

This is driving me nuts! :)

[dr-jamal]

well .. I did everything ..
but nothing showed up .. I mean .. I can't activate it .. see the picture I attached ..

[BarHopper]

I tried the last veersion and it messed up my vB. Although nice, idea, i will not be implementing it.

[TwinsX2Dad]

So, no solutions for Dr-Jamal & me?

TwinsX2Dad, I have no idea about what causing that problem with your setup!

sorry guys, but I have installed this thing in like five different sites, and never faced any problem!!

can anyone look into the installer please??

[uae]

sometime and for some reason, users gets blank messages from guest!

to fix this problem

Open file includes/functions.php and FIND

return $pagerinfo;

ABOVE ADD

if (!$pagerinfo[pagerid])
if ($bbuserinfo[pager] > 0)
{
$result = $DB_site->query("UPDATE ". TABLE_PREFIX . "user set pager=pager - 1 where
userid = " . $bbuserinfo[userid] . "");
return false;
}


Open file yourforums/global.php and FIND

eval('$pagermessage = "' . fetch_template('vbpager_popup') . '";');

ABOVE ADD

if ($pagerinfo)

Installer has been updated.

[uae]

well .. I did everything ..
but nothing showed up .. I mean .. I can't activate it .. see the picture I attached ..
can you try editing any phrase, then save it!

let's see if this will help, cos I have faced the same problem only with vB 3.0.0 and below, but never with 3.0.1 or above.

[kamu]

Great hack.

Unfortunately, I must advise all with my unfortunate experience after installing this hack.

I have the latest version of IE, and this hack will cause my IE to crash by loading into my forum. Also, the template additions for the MemberInfo did not plant the Message link.

If there is a fix to these issues I'd appriciate the help.
Until then, I have uninstalled this hack.

Thanks kamu, and sorry for that, but causing your IE to crash is something I have never experienced, strange!

Regarding the MemberInfo template, is it only with this template where you can't see the links to send a pager to others??

can you see the little button for sending a pager from whoisonline page?

have you set the right permission to use pager with your userid or usergroup?

[kamu]

It may possibly be my computer, maybe Adware is causing some kind of conflict. I had some of my members play with it just before I uninstalled and they advised me that there were no problems. Unfortunately, until I can find a solution I will not be able to install :(

Yes, only with the MEMBERINFO template. The images within my onlinebits worked fine. The link within my vbmenu also worked flawlessly. I didn't review the template coding within the MEMBERINFO template extensively, but I did triple check my modification according to your instructions and it appeared non-existent on my Info page, in other words it looked exactly the same as before I added the modified code.

Hope that helps :)

[TwinsX2Dad]

Me too :squareeyed: .. that's why I decided to forget all about it .. Uninstall everything..Ditto here.

There is something wrong in the install file, as I triple checked my DB, then ran the installer - it crashes, telling me there is a duplicate. I check the DB and, lo & behold, there is a dupe - JUST CREATED BY THE INSTALLER! So, I delete the referenced bits, check again and yes, the offending bits are indeed gone. So I run the installer again with the same results.

The error is happening before the file is even done building the phrases.

Maybe this thing works on a plain vanilla, unmodified copy of vB. With minor hacks installed, the thing just doesn't work.

[docvader]

I feel kind of stupid too. I've installed this, (it was easy, with no errors), but I can't see any pager image anywhere. I assume it's supposed to be next to the reputation scale in the upper right corner of the postbit template version of the post. There is also supposed to be a link in the navbar, under "Quick Links". Apparently, there needs to be certain permissions for people to use this, and view this, which is why maybe I can't "see" it. But, in the Usergroup Manager (admincp), there is no option for granting this permission.

Any suggestions?

[docvader]

Oh, in my Admin Control Panel, in the vBPager Options, I don't get anything to choose in that page. So, I must be missing something... What file edit controls that? Same as Dr Jamal's problem above. I've "saved" the phrases, etc.

[docvader]

Interesting, the phrases for the Pager Options in the Admin CP are present in the forum database. I've tried saving a few of them to see if they'd "appear", to no avail. I guess I don't see the Pager stuff in the forum because I have not turned it on. And I can't turn it on, because the admin cp/pager options shows what Dr Jamal's post above shows: nothing.

So, what do we do to get the pager options to "appear"? The admin cp/ pager messages panel seems to work fine.

[TwinsX2Dad]

I guess some things, some promises, are meaningless.

[docvader]

This lack of vbpager options in the admin cp is not uncommon apparently. It was noticed in the previous thread for this hack, before it was supposedly upgraded to vb 3.03.

In the admin cp, the vbpager options calls to ./admincp/options.php..., but, we didn't alter anything in that during the install. Something simple is missing here. Either I missed it, or it's not in the installer.

Would love to get this working. Looks like it could be a great addition. I've been looking for something like this for a while.

[Polo]

Insalled succesfully with tons of hacks installed in my site... seems to work ok... but i'm also having the problem other member had of not viewing the pager in the memberinfo template....

Ok, never mind.. the image and info is there in the template is just that if you look at your own profile you wont see it... so far this is the best pager around congratulations uae

One last thing... how can I make the little "Allow Reply" box to be checked by default... I know this must be exremely easy right... thanks in advance...

[docvader]

How did you get it to work, and we didn't? LOL. Can you see the VbPager options in the admincp??? I'm not sure why that is not showing, what file makes that appear?

[Polo]

How did you get it to work, and we didn't? LOL. Can you see the VbPager options in the admincp??? I'm not sure why that is not showing, what file makes that appear?

in the installation you need to make the changes to the admincp/index.php files... unless you edit that file, you wont see the menu in your admincp

[docvader]

I see the menu in the admin cp; that's not the problem. Two items are there in that litle menu section, one is vbpager options, the other is the messages list. The vbpager options section does not show (it calls to ./options.php, which we don't edit in this install), the messages list section does (it does not call to ./options.php). So, I'm a bit bewildered at this. I have all the phrases in my phrase manager, the three templates were transcribed, the file edits have all been done (for the fifth or so time), but I can't seem to get the vbpager options showing in the admin cp. Which is what the other guys (twindad and drjamal) seem to be having problems with.

Any ideas Polo?? You've got an elaborate forum man, I have no doubt that you can figure this out. What did you do differently than the rest of us?

Thanks!

[TwinsX2Dad]

It seems to be one of a couple of possible issues, Rich - and I am not certain which one it is.

My assumption is that it is either table prefixes or a conflict with another mod. I use prefixes and have a heavily modified board. I tried it on a plain vanilla test board and got it to work, but with the same issues Polo is now bringing up.

Once I started adding mods, the board locked up. The odd thing is that I added a mod at a time until I had DB issues, then removed the last mod. I still got the DB issues. I double and triple checked the coding, even restoring the files I just modified and still I had the problems. This leads me to believe that the root issue is in DB changes. But, as we all know, a vB database is a rather large creature and I don't have all the time in the world to figure out where things are breaking.

[docvader]

I'm not sure it would be a conflict with another mod, I"ve got a bunch of hacks on my board, and they all peacefully coexist with each other. Why this one shouldn't, with relatively minor file edits, is beyond me. I think that your idea of the table prefixes is a good one; but, I agree, I wouldn't be delving into that monster either.

Sure hope Uae figures this out. It looks like it could be an awesome hack to have. I'll leave it "installed" for now....

(The installer that was provided with this hack was by far, very pretty, and well thought out, but, most definitely hard to work with when going back to reinstall and evaluate. In my opinion, simple text files are much easier to deal with when doing template and file edits).

[boo.3]

Can't wait for full version for this! :)

[uae]

One last thing... how can I make the little "Allow Reply" box to be checked by default... I know this must be exremely easy right... thanks in advance...

Replace it with

Polo, is that your footer attached to the vbpager_popup??

I didn't get what exactly wrong with the image!

[uae]

I have updated the installer, and hope that will fix vbpager options not showing in the admin cp!

Guys, please do clear your browser cache and download the latest release.

[uae]

I guess some things, some promises, are meaningless.
I'm trying my best, and there seem no one wants to help with this hack, I just can't see the problems you're getting installing this hack, where all of my friends are using it in their boards!

I can try looking into your board and install this myself if you want!

Other than that sorry, but I can't do much where I'm still trying my best!

Why is it that the link in the ADMIN CP/VBPager/vbpager options calls to /forums/admincp/options.php..., and we have NOT altered anything in that options.php file?? Is that why nothing shows up in the ADMIN CP?

Still "installed". Would love to see this working.

rich, we don't need to modify that file to call vB Pager's options, that link is correct and should call the setting from database.

admincp/options.php?dogroup=vbpager&do=options

it's just strange that some of you can see the options!

anyone please?? or I'll need to look into your forums!

[docvader]

OK, understand. I think, LOL. I'm really not sure why I don't see that one panel, that turns it on. (Which, I'm sure, is the reason why it doesn't show at all in the postbits). So, the issue now is, how to get that visible. I'll try any suggestions that you might have. I did install this, now, many a time. And I must have at least twenty or more other hacks on my forum, all of which are co-existing together just fine.

Maybe twinsdad is right, it's a database issue. What are the attributes of user / pager in phpMyAdmin that we should see? Where else is there database changes?

[docvader]

That did it man. It works. We're testing it now.

Only thing I've found so far, is that the pager pop box is too small. And, in Netscape, for some strange reason, when you respond to a page (within the page itself), it shrinks the entire browser down. In IE, it seems to be working perfectly.

Thanks. We'll play with it and look for bugs. This should most definitely be a regular option in vbulletin. It's awesome.

[boo.3]

awsome

[docvader]

OK, we found two issues.

ONE: If you send a pager message to someone, and you leave the "send reply" box unchecked, the pager message that the recipient gets cannot be closed.

If you send a pager message to someone, with the pager message box checked, the recipient has the option to respond, but, he cannot close the pager box unless he either types in the box, or space bars three times in the box.

This inability to get rid of the pager box under these circumstances is an annoyance to some, not to others.

Also, it would be nice to have scroll bars in the pager box (easy to add some sort of autoscroll feature), as some of my members cannot see the bottom of the pager message within the pop up box, and prefer to have scroll bars so that they can see you can scroll down to "more stuff".

TWO: We can no longer see member profiles. Clicking on "View Public Profile" in the drop box under the member's name (in postbit) leads to a blank white page. Not sure what happened there! LOL. You cannot access member info from the postbit or from the member list.

rich, can you please try uninstalling the hack, and reinstall it, no need to go with all steps, just do the database altering step, then reinstall it.

Now, I did not do the file or template edits, as you suggested, assuming nothing had been changed within those. Not sure if you changed anything in there to fix these problems in the past day or two.

Otherwise, I agree. This is awesome. HOTM material. Let's help Uae get it buffed up.

Do you mean that they can not see the close button? or they see it but when clicking on it nothing happes?

There shouldn't be any problem with this, cos we haven't touched either files.

Exactly, there were no changes made to the file nor the template edits.

True :)

[docvader]

It seems to occur, if A sends a pager message to B, without checking the "reply" box, that is, B gets a pop up window, WITHOUT the usual Internet Explorer frame (latest version) around it (so you can't click on the red X box and close the window); this window has a "close" button in it which does not work.

IF you sent B a message without the reply box option, B gets this pop up window that remains in the center of his screen. If B clears his temporary internet files, closes IE, shuts down his computer, and restarts it, once B returns to my website, that pop up box (without IE frame, with "close" button) pops up again. As if the server is sending it yet again, because it did not get a response, in my opinion.

Again, if A sends B a pager message, with the reply option checked, B has to respond within the pop up box, to be able to send, and close that box. Or, B has to put cursor in respond area of pager pop up box, hit space bar a few times, and then either send or close pager box. B should have option to close box without responding.

Autoscroll in pager box should be easy; however, I personally have not had problems with pop up box appearance (I did with Netscape Navigator, latest version).

As for my member profiles, I'm lost, LOL. I did the file edits exactly. I reverted memberinfo back to original, without getting it to work. I reverted member.php back to original, without getting it to work. Could this be a database error? Did the new install do something to warp the database in some way that member profile stuff no longer works? (It worked yesterday, so I don't think it's my file edits.

Thanks
rich

[ethank]

I installed but had to turn it off.

Pages kept popping up even after a user already read them and clicked "close"

After a user responded and sent the response, a new window would pop up with the site in it.

Any idea what would cause these problems?

[TwinsX2Dad]

Okay - got all installed & checked the edits twice. But when I try to page someone, I get no options, buttons, nothing to send the page. I get the text entry box and hitting Enter/Return simply calls up a new line.

Pager popup box attached.

[docvader]

dad, did you make sure that your new vbpager templates have been copied to all of the styles that you are using? The new templates, more specifically, vbpager_popup, I think, has the buttons. There are three new templates, each having a "vbpager" moniker attached within them.

[TwinsX2Dad]

On this particular board, I am running only one style - no different ones, so I have but one set of templates.

The original file came with just a single image - I placed it in /images/buttons/ - but nothing shows up.

Here is my vbpager_popup template:

<style type="text/css">
#PLAYER { position:absolute; height:1; width:1px; top:0; left:0; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
chanceAd=1; // The chance in X times that this signup reminder will be shown

var ns=(document.layers);
var ie=(document.all);
var w3=(document.getElementById && !ie);
var calunit=ns? "" : "px"

function initAd(){
if(!ns && !ie && !w3) return;
if(ie) adDiv=eval('document.all.PLAYER.style');
else if(ns) adDiv=eval('document.layers["PLAYER"]');
else if(w3) adDiv=eval('document.getElementById("PLAYER").style');
randAd=Math.ceil(Math.random()*chanceAd);
if (ie||w3)
adDiv.visibility="visible";
else
adDiv.visibility ="show";
if(randAd==1) showAd();
}
function showAd(){

Now I am wondering if the popup window might be too small. How would I increase the height?

[TwinsX2Dad]

Well, here might be an issue - a DB error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE user set vb3_pager = pager + 1 where userid = 2

Could this be something?

Please see two previous posts, as well

Your user table doesn't exist in your vbulletin SQL? Are you sure? Have you looked in phpMyAdmin to see if it's there? I never got this error with this hack.

[docvader]

Uae, one other thing. Not sure if it's just sloppy editing on my part, but, I figured out, with the help of some of the digital masters on this board, where my member profile issue is.

Altering the /includes/functions_online.php file caused my member profile link to crash, ie, one could not view individual member profiles. Not sure if anyone else has noticed or experienced this, but, it's something to keep an eye out for.

I tried editing that file again, with no success. What's your take on this? Any ideas where it might be triggering problems?

rich

Sorry. My mistake. I added the bottom edit of /includes/functions.php to /includes/functions_online.php. These html install things are sometimes tricky to see (a plain text file with all the template and file edits, though not as professional looking, or nice, seem to be more effective and easier to work with, in my opinion, especially if you have to go back and dig around in them.)

Board's working fine. Waiting for a work around with the persistent pager pop up. Wish I new more about this stuff to help.

'mydatabase_forums.vb3_user' does.

I have table prefixes.

[docvader]

Understand. Just curious, could you solve the problem by adding "TABLE_PREFIX" labels to his pager.php code, in the relevant places? Doesn't look like they're all there, from my quick perusal. I'm far from a whiz when it comes to databases, but you seem to be pretty savvy about it. Just curious about this.

[TwinsX2Dad]

Databases, I am not too bad on. It is php calls to a database where I have troubles. Yet I am not certain my problem lies within pager.php - here is my file:

I have the popup problem that Dad has only with Firefox.

[ethank]

Any fix for the messages keeping appearing on every page even after you have read them?

thank you i will test this one out :)

so there will be no more errors with popup killers now?
does every browser support dhtml?

On firefox the box isn't big enough and you have to highlight to click reply. How can i sort this?

Back on track...

Sorry guys, but I'll be done with vB Pager 2.2.3 with all bugs fix.

So we skipped from 2.0.3 to 2.2.3, without a 2.1.3, or did I miss something?

Will 2.2.3 have a beta tag?

When will this be out?

:banana:

[uae]

oppss, I meant 2.0.3!

[TwinsX2Dad]

I figured that ....... :D

But you didn't answer the 'when' question!

[Deaths]

I installed it and it worked OK.
Now, I've upgraded to 3.0.5, and it only opens a pop-up, with no content.

As far as I know, I made all file edits.
Could you please tell me where the pop-ups content is handeled (which template(s) and/or file(s))?
Thanks

vB Pager 2.0.4 has been released :)

Please Backup your database and files befor upgrading or installing a fresh copy.

Installing this version will require the uninstall of any previous versions.

Uninstalling of previous versions are included in the zip file.

First Post has been updated.

Installed on VB 3.0.5, I see the options in admin panel and I have edited a phase but I see no links or gifs next to a username to use the pager?

If I run the pager.php file it brings me back to my forums front page?

vbpager2_04_file_edit.txt
and
vbpager2_04_template_edit.txt

??

:) must be blind, missed that.

Working fine, but I will test it shortly.

Thanks.

One problem I see is I have to refresh the page to see any vbpager messages and its the same for replies?

How can I get it to automatically refresh?

I didn't get it, but you have to click the close button and refresh the page to get a new one.

Pager messages boxes does not refresh automatically, it's the page you're viewing which should get refreshed, and alwayes click the close button to get the next one, if you got any awaiting!

what where the updates to this new version? can we know? oh and I will try it as soon as possible... I liked the previous version but I was getting some erros on IE, hopefully in this new version they have been fixed now :)

thanks alot uae :)

Polo,

vB Pager 2.0.4 does not use any pop up windows anymore, which means that you don't need to worry about pop up killers nor the size of the new pager window.

All Pager messages windows are DHTML, and should work with All browsers.

Should be faster when clicking to send a new pager message.

Other thing is that I have added an option in the ADMINCP under vB Pager Options, where you can select to have the messages hard deleted whenever someone delete them from his/her Inbox or Outbox.

So, no need for an Admin to log into ADMINCP and hard delete hundreds of messages anymore, unless you want to keep a record for all messages and hard delete them yourself "as an ADMIN" whenever you wanthttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/3.gif.

[docvader]

Uae, thanks for getting this out. But you mention that we should uninstall the old version first. Will this upgrade, or, should we completely take out everything from the old version, before installing this?

Just trying to diminish the amount of work I have to do. My gf is annoyed at me, LOL.

Edit: Sorry, just read the new zip file, that answered my questions.

GF's gonna be pissed.... LOL

[docvader]

OK.

Truly impressed. Damn. Really impressed.

It works. And it works great. Not a hitch so far. Installation instructions and edits are exact, a true example of how hacks should be put together. And what an addition to a forum. Move it out of the beta section boys, this thing is ready.

ONE ISSUE. The smart guys here will figure this out:

I'm using vba cmps; and I've noticed when people get a message while they are in the adv_index page (the vba cmps page, when you are using the navbar on that page as I do), a pager message will pop up, and "stall", ie, get stuck. (You can't close it). I'm wondering if the footer pager hack part, not being there, is causing this.

So, can we put a conditional in the navbar hack section, along this idea (I use this to change the links in the navbar depending on where you are in the site):

<td class="vbmenu_control"><if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'"><a

href="$vboptions[bburl]?$session[sessionurl]"> Forum/Library <else /> <a

href="http://x.russbo.com/index.php"> Forum News </if></a></td> that shuts off the pager mechanism if one is viewing the vba cmps index page???

Great job Uae. Truly awesome. Most definitely should be a part of the next vbulletin.

Oops. Gotta run. GF is really pissed....

I am using vba cmps and never had that problem with all browsers I've been testing the hack with!!
hmmmmmmmmmmm

I'll look into it.

Thanks again

[OrangeFlea]

Hi, I'm still using 3.0.3. Will this hack work for that version still or do I have to make some slight adjustments? Thanks!

Hi, I'm still using 3.0.3. Will this hack work for that version still or do I have to make some slight adjustments? Thanks!
It should work fine with 3.0.1 and UP.

So, no problem with 3.0.3

[Sooner95]

looks lile even in beta, it works well.. defintly gonna add this to my site, might wait till final rls tho.. thx!

[OrangeFlea]

How long before the final version is released and do you plan on adding anything else of significance? I'm very eager to put this up.

[OrangeFlea]

Also, I have the "Who's online" disabled on my forum. Is it possible for members to simply click on an icon in the postbit area to page another member? And does the pager icon appear only when the user has a message (page) or is it always visible?

I still have a problem with messages keeping popping up even after they're read. Every page load makes this happen. How do I fix this?

A note that this happens even after I delete the message from my box. THis only happens in Safari, not FireFox

[ethank]

Also, still, upon reply it causes a new window to pop up.

[uae]

How long before the final version is released and do you plan on adding anything else of significance? I'm very eager to put this up.

I am just making sure that there are no bugs with this hack, and I'll move it to the full release forum.

Basically, I have written this hack for my "Lazy" S-Moderators and Moderators only, so no other usergroup is using it.

However I am thinking to give the permission to my members to use, but I don't want to go beyond the logic of this hack and change it to a chatting tool!
There are many out there.

I would think that I will add :
1- Number of pager messages can be sent per day, hours... per usergroup.
2- Require X posts befor getting the permission to send pager messages... per usergroup.

[uae]

Also, I have the "Who's online" disabled on my forum. Is it possible for members to simply click on an icon in the postbit area to page another member? And does the pager icon appear only when the user has a message (page) or is it always visible?

If you have allowed that usergoup to use vB Pager, then yes, they can send messages to another member from postbit, Member info page and forumhome_loggedinuser anytime and the icon is always visible.

A member can NOT send a pager message to him/her self.

Uae, getting a mysql error when trying to access the Who's Online section of my site:


My online.php relevant section looks like this:


Any ideas? It was working before the hack.

You have missed something there, let's do it again.

In ONLINE.PHP FIND

SELECT user.username, session.useragent,

Replace it WITH


SELECT user.username, session.useragent, session.sessionhash,


AGAIN in ONLINE.PHP FIND

$guests["$count"]['username'] = $vbphrase['guest'];

Add Below


// [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='WwW.UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='2.0.4' CHANGEID= 3 ]
$guests["$count"]['sessionid']= $users[sessionhash];
// [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='WwW.UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='2.0.4' CHANGEID= 3 ]

[uae]

mmmm, Guys, can anyone test this with Safari please? cos I don't have it installed.

[docvader]

Uae, I have online.php as you dictated. Again, here's my relevant sections of online.php:
// [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='WwW.UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='2.0.4' CHANGEID= 3 ]
$allusers = $DB_site->query("

SELECT user.username, session.useragent, session.sessionhash, session.location, session.lastactivity, user.userid, user.options, session.host, session.badlocation, session.incalendar, user.aim, user.icq, user.msn, user.yahoo,
// [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='WwW.UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='2.0.4' CHANGEID= 3 ]
IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid

and, the second change:
$guests["$count"]['username'] = $vbphrase['guest'];
// [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='WwW.UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='2.0.4' CHANGEID= 3 ]

$guests["$count"]['sessionid']= $users[sessionhash];

// [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='WwW.UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='2.0.4' CHANGEID= 3 ]

$guests["$count"]['invisible'] = 0;

$guests["$count"]['displaygroupid'] = 1;

$guests["$count"]['musername'] = fetch_musername($guests["$count"]);

It's this file edit, that's causing the member profile from working properly. When I revert to my older online.php, member profile works, AND, the pager system seems to work too.

Also, I've noticed that the pager box stays open when you have asked for a reply. The message gets sent, and if the other person does NOT reply, they cannot get rid of the pager box. Therefore, maybe having the "add reply" box checked, unchecked as default, would solve this annoyance for some.

Hope you can figure this out. Otherwise, it seems to be working very well.

[docvader]

Yes, yet another brilliant move on my part, LOL.

It's working fine, but I've got some people complaining about the message box not closing. I think it has to do with the "reply box" being checked, but I need more time to figure this out.

Great hack. Very useful for my community.

[AlexanderH]

I am confused.

I did all the steps, yet no changes to the forum !

Also, my ACP was mucked up (See the quote)

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/element/public_html/admincp/index.php on line 547


Any ideas ?

[docvader]

Uae, we seem to be having a small problem with the pager. It might be the way you designed it, as opposed to it being a bug.
If someone gets a page, with the respond box attached, they cannot get rid of the page unless they respond.

So, either we fix that, so that people can ignore the page, or, make the check box "unselected" by default. I prefer to do that now, but I don't know where in the code that is.

Where do I change that?

Otherwise, it seems to be working well.

[docvader]

We've been using the pager now since the new version came out. Working great, but, some people, not all, are having problems with the pager box not disappearing, despite trying to close it. Not sure why, not always related to the checked "allow reply" box.

Is there any way of putting some sort of time limit on this pager box, so that it "self destructs" and disappears, on its own, within a minute or two???? That might be the easiest way to solve this issue.

Otherwise. it's impressive. The pager icon shows up in the vba cmpls "who's online" box, which I found surprising. Also, having it in the "Who's Online" section was pure genius.

Let's get this thing to go away, and move the hack out of beta. AS I see it, it's the only issue.

[wolfe]

m8 i also got this working with the Who Was Online Hack :)

also m8 i have fixed up the vbpager template replace the whole template with the attached file

also m8 i might add a title to the pager messages because if itsshowing the message it will take up alot of space could be title Oi

lol

[docvader]

Hey, m8. Did you attach your new file? Not sure if it changed anything for me.

Also, I noticed that if you don't check the allow reply box, you can't close the pager. You can if you check the allow reply box.

[laborer75]

I installed this hack to a tee and get this error when trying to get in my forums. Won't even let me log into admincp unless i overwrite my global.php file back to original. I see the options in admincp. The button to click and page is all there too.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: can_pager() in /home2/laborer7/public_html/forums/global.php on line 300

Ive checked everything and can't figure this one out. i have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times. Any suggestions? Kinda new to this all but I have installed other hacks no problemo........Thanx in advance :)

fixed a few bugs in this file overwrite your old one with it.

[docvader]

Can you show us what your global php hacked area looks like, around line 300??

[mello_mike]

For some strange reason.. all my members can send messages .. but we cannot GET any. I made sure permissions were correct.. still no luck

All message are marked unread.. members aren't getting their messages.

[docvader]

Wolfe, what are you fixing? The persistent pager box problem?

[wolfe]

Wolfe, what are you fixing? The persistent pager box problem?
the guest popup one i fixed i have also fixed some bugsin the pager file where there was no " . TABLE_PREFIX . " where it was needed ;)

my guest box don't pop up no more

[docvader]

Wolfe, nice, but, I instituted your changes, and it wiped out the user's ability to see anything in the board, once I sent him a message.

I sent myself a message, from one of my test accounts, and bamm. I got mysql errors for every damn page of my site. Other users had no problem. Just the guy that got a message.

I reverted to the originals, and my board works for me again.

I don't use table prefixes. Might that be the cause??? There's also a line where you changed the UPDATE pager table. Wonder if that screwed me up. I can see why you added quotes to everything. But the UPDATE command change, was that necessary?

Scared the living s... out of me man.

[docvader]

I've also noticed, that if you have a pager box that you cannot close, and, you just leave it be, it will cause your forum page to refresh, every minute or so. Yet, it won't go away.

[mello_mike]

I'm getting this SQL error when I got to view messages in the AdminCP

Any ideas why this is happening? I read a couple others are having the same problem in this thread. Wondering if anybodys figured out why yet? Thanx in advance.......

Hey, I just registered @ your forum http://x.russbo.com/vb/
I logged in as a registered user "uae", then I went to WOL page using Internet Explorer, and I opened FireFox and logged in as a guest!
I was able to send a pager message from uae to that guest, and both buttons were working fine, Reply and Close button!
I haven't noticed that if you got a pager message popup opened, the page will keep refreshing!

Close or Reply button, both should update DB and set that message as READ.
So, that message should never popUP again!

I just can't see your problem!

[wolfe]

m8 the table prefix will only come into action if you have got a prefix if not it will not do anything also that file stopped all the mysql errors on my site

[docvader]

Understand, m8. You've got a New Yorker talking like a Brit now. Anyway, I noticed basically two portions of code that you put into pager.php, that changes it. One had an "else" statement, the other changed the way the table updated. The rest, were quotation mark additions.

I'm not sure which one caused my mysql errors throughout the board. Got any idea???

Uae, keep checking into http://x.russbo.com/vb/index.php. You'll see the error. Use IE.

[uae]

I did not see no errors!!!

I used IE!

Hey, there should be one space in that query, after SELECT!

DO the changes again for functions.php

Here it is again,

Seems to be working now. You are the man. I looked over that code so many times and you caught it right away. Thanx a million bro. I really appreciate it!!!

[docvader]

No, still get problems with people not being able to close the box, even with this new functions.php. For some strange reason, now, it's just intermittent. Again, it ONLY occurs when you send someone a message WITHOUT the reply option checked. Let me play with this for a day or so, and get back to you. It seems better, but, still the occasional problem. Maybe some things have to "clear" out of the database?

I've got it running on http://x.russbo.com/vb/index.php I invite you to come play with it.

[mello_mike]

I'm guessing no one knows the solution to my issue.. .because no one has helped me..

[docvader]

For some strange reason.. all my members can send messages .. but we cannot GET any. I made sure permissions were correct.. still no luck

All message are marked unread.. members aren't getting their messages.

Are you sure that you did all of the file edits??? Because, we've had problems with this hack, but this was not one of them. The issues that we've had, revolved around the pager box being stubborn. But, it did work.

[wolfe]

K-I got it installed. When I click to send a messagein IE, it errors and I have to shut IE down. It does not do this infirefox though. My members are all having the same problem. Any ideaswhy this is happening? I read a couple others are having the sameproblem in this thread. Wondering if anybodys figured out why yet?Thanx in advance.......

m8 mines the same now i got it working perfectly with Firefox but it crashes IE 6 out when it tries to receive a page.

i have added the function code and its still crashign out.

[docvader]

I'm not having any problems with IE6. Got the new function.php code, which seems to keep the persistent pager box problem away. I didn't do all of your changes though wolfe, all I changed was the function.php the way uae put it in his last post.

Hope this helps.

[yoyoyoyo]

I installed this hack, and did the most recent file edits and this is what I am getting:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare can_pager() (previously declared in /home/mysite/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php:3916) in /home/mysite/public_html/forum/includes/functions_online.php on line 1571

can someone post an update with all of the necessary file edits, etc. in one post to make it easier to figure out?

[mello_mike]

I'll do a re-edit to my files and see if that works... hopefully it does.

[docvader]

Yoyo,

Install the vbpager zip as Uae has it, make sure that you uninstall previous versions as he explains in the zip, and use this functions.php file: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=604013&postcount=135
That's all I did, and it works fine for me.

[yoyoyoyo]

I just checked my file edits, and I had put some stuff in the functions_online.php file that should have gone in the functions.php, and it is working PERFECTLY now! excellent hack!


*******clicks install*******

[Sooner95]

i really woul dlike to instal this.. is the file(s) for this up to date?

[docvader]

Read post 144 on this page. It works great. Follow the instructions carefully. They are easy to follow and well written.

[yoyoyoyo]

It has been working without a hitch!

[uae]

fixed a few bugs in this file overwrite your old one with it.

Thanks Wolfe,

I have updated the zip file with your changes to pager.php

[wolfe]

Thanks Wolfe,

I have updated the zip file with your changes to pager.php

nps

ok m8 i uninstalled and reinstalled it and it works gr8 on ie firefoxand opera ;) i now see no need for the pm system lol vbulletin shouldput this on vb.3.0.7 as default ;) better and quicker that pms ;)

[docvader]

The PM system still has its uses. but, this, is great for directing people into a chat room, or, Hubz, or whatever, as you can easily catch them onlline. I love it.

Still have some people complaining about persistent pager boxes. Now, it's not IE or Netscape specific; on one of my computers, it's persistent (in IE); in my other, it isn't. I think it might have to do with some of the preferences settings in the browser. I just haven't figured out what it is yet though.
