It was a myvb_ issue.
I got it working now. I would only like to have the pages time stamped.

I do not know how to do that however.

There is a time stamp on the messages you receive, right on the top of the message where it says "Hello Member 1,Member2 has send you a message" and then it has the time and date. Where else do you want a time stamp?

I have one question here, maybe you folks would like to comment. From what I see in the code, when someone sends you an SMS, you will not see it, unless you change the page you are viewing, or reload it. Another option would be to be in the "Who's On-Line" page, which gets refreshed every so often, so SMS gets delivered.

I was thinking on doing some coding, which will do the followings:

- Upon user's first logging in the site, it will open a new, tiny browser window.
- This browser windo will remain open, and be refreshed every few seconds. In reality, the only code in that window, will be the code, which shows you the received SMS's.
- The user will thus be able to close the main forums window, and leave that small window open, so his SMS's will pop up, when received, even if he is working with something else.

What do you think of this?

just have it set up to work with the buddy list.

Well, for those interested, I've ... hacked this hack enough, to allow you to receive and send SMS messages, even if you do not browse the site. I have created a small window, that you call it from a link in the navbar. That window, checks for new SMS messages by refreshing itself every so often. If you get a new SMS, a new window will pop up and show you the SMS.

The small window, also contains a link, through which you can send an sms to another member. You click on it, a window pops up which prompts you for the recipient name. Enter it click the button and you are ready to type in, your SMS.

My users find it extremely useful, since they no longer have to have the site open, in the Who's On-Line page, to get their messages. The small window is very unobtrusive.

The standard functionality of poping up your received SMS's when you are browsing the site, still remains, but is no longer necessary.

If someone is interested, I can provide you with the code mods, but I have not kept notes when making the changes, so don't expect that to be a fully documented mod.

Anyone know how I can make this so that Members can IM guests too?? Like a promotional type tool??

Also, how would I go about quoting what I said originally in my reply?? Sometimes by the time I get a message back I have forgotten what I had written in the first place. This would make it much easier to follow the conversations.

That would be nice. alot of times people are like... what?

That and time stamping is all this baby needs.

It has a time stamping already telling you when the message was sent. Anyone know how to make this work for guests?

Danke!

extremely useful indeed! Can someone port this to 3.5 please. It is not that much code. :)
