in marquee.php

find:

// connect to the database and pull the info we need.

$latestposts = $DB_site->query("
SELECT threadid, forumid, title, replycount, lastposter, postuserid, postusername
FROM thread
ORDER BY lastpost
DESC LIMIT " . THREAD_LIMIT . ""
);

and if your prefix it vb3 replace the above with:

// connect to the database and pull the info we need.

$latestposts = $DB_site->query("
SELECT vb3_threadid, vb3_forumid, vb3_title, vb3_replycount, vb3_lastposter, vb3_postuserid, vb3_postusername
FROM thread
ORDER BY lastpost
DESC LIMIT " . THREAD_LIMIT . ""
);

what link do you mean? the one to open the messenger or are you clicking on a user's name thats showing online in the messenger interface.

I am clicking on both. I just don't see how the chat window is supposed to open to chat with someone

The marquee opens fine when I go to the index.php file. I made a quick link on my navbar using the call to the javascript you posted earlier. I have a couple of buddies listed in the marquee window but how do I chat with them?

New main messenger window interface

to use this new interface download the below zip file and upload the bbmessenger folder in it to your forums root, so the files with in it copy other the other bbmessenger files with the same name.

Please note that this interface is a beta interface for a planned v2 and due to this the my status and other buttons down the side apart from the top 2 will not work, there just there ready for when other stuff gets added.

if you have buddys listing in the online buddy part of the messenger or the online users part you just click on there names.

if there in the offline part clicking on there names will take you to the user pm system.

also always make sure that no popup blockers are stopping the windows from poping up.

Ok I see.

Well how does a buddy show up in the buddies listing in the online buddy part? How does it get the buddy to be listed there? I'm very sorry for being dumb about this. I guess I don't understand how this is supposed to work exactly, sorry.

Just taking an educated guess here... the other buddie would have to have his bb|Messenger open to correct?

If this is correct is then is there a function that would notify your buddy to open his bb|Messenger if doesn't have his bb|Messenger open at the time you would like to talk to them. LIke a popup on his screen or something?

no there was a user invite but it stopped working in one of the vb3 betas and its not been fixed up yet.
