One suggestion that I have is come up with a different name. I know many people on my forum have suggested that vB pager is a bit mis-leading. This brings me to my next question. How can I change it so instead of vB pager it says vB instant messagenger? If someone would be kind enough to PM me a responce that would be great.

Thanks for your help,

~Ownage

now i have a slight problem after setting permissions it keeps telling me i have no permissions to send pager!?!?

this is awesome, thanks for updating it :D

Both the new things seem to work great, thanks!

i figured it out!

I'm currently using 3.0.2, to upgrade to 3.0.4, do I also have to follow the upgrade steps for 3.0.3?

Upgraded from 03 to 04 perfectly on VB v3.5.4

Thank you

Just reimport the product file, I think you should be fine, but you might want to redo the footer template edit.

You can always edit the product xml file and change the phrases, that is the beauty of the product system :)

Hi, I Have Run The Product And Installed It, Edited And Added The Templates And When I Go To The Usergroup To Set The Permissions There are No Usergroup Permissions For vB Pager. There For The Pager Will Not Work.

Please Help.
Thanks In Advance.

have you rebuilt bitfields?
that might be the problem

Did you upload all the rquired files?
Make sure you uploaded the files to their directories.

This sounds a lot like the product XML file wasn't imported.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ :up: It seems to be working fine. Thank you.

You can alleviate your users typing in domain.com instead of www.domain.com by adding this to your .htaccess file (this redirects them to the correct url....the www.domain.com )

This also has the added benefit of keeping your "PageRank" juice to just the "www.domain.com" version of your site and eliminates possible "duplicate content" penalty that some search engines may see from having the same content at domain.com and www.domain.com. FWIW

P.S. you should put this above any other RewriteCond or RewriteRules you have (and just below "RewriteEngine On") and obviously substitute domain.com with your real domain name.

updated and working great. thanks

I have to remove it because of high server load

20.83% 0.72s POST /forum/pager.php?action=page

I have installed this for someone on their forums vb 3.5.4 and have this problem !
I have read every page of the thread, several have had the issue but no fix has been posted. The "page user" button does nothing in IE 7 b2 and Fx 1.0.5.1 no popup to appears to type a message into. Apart from that everything else seems to be spot on but till messages can actually be sent we arent really going to know. :)

I haven't tried the hack with IE 7, but Firfox should be fine!
Make sure you got your forum URL filled out and you are accessing the forum with the same url. See this post

Works fine in IE 7 Beta 2 for me :cool:

As I said I have read the whole thread and checked and adjusted that allready.

But I think I have figured it out, you need to update your instructions Forum directory shoud be webroot forum path. ;)

Thank you uae for the gr8 hack

am woundering, is there a change to add NEXT and Prev buttons to the popup window to read the next msg or get back to the prev one, as many times we reply to somthing and found out the next msg did not require our reply, or have to refresh the page to read the next..

Kind regards.

hack works gret!! but! ew issues!

1. when you go to click "Pager Messages: " it takes you to a flase part of the forum where you see little red x's any idea how to fix this!?
2. the avtars do not show up when paging each other..

other then those 2 issues the hack works fine!

When you update your IE with the optional Update KB912945, the vBPager-Popup is deactivated under a windows popup
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
This is a change because the EOLAS patent and it will be in all further cumultative patches of the IE and also in the IE 7 final.

It is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ng_activex.asp

What changes have I to make to get rid of this windows pop-up? As far as I understand, the function must be no embedded but an external call.

Any suggestions? Even if I uninstall the patch - it will be just a question of time when the problem pops up again.

Thank you for your support!

can this be done?

usergroup #1 = vB Pager off by default

usergroup #2 = vB Pager on by default

or if not can I make it so all usergoups are OFF by default and they must select in their options to turn it on, I only want users subject to messages if they want them

I'm looking to only allow moderators and above to see the page this user. Any help would be great.


for example, but this does not work!

UAE, could you please have a look at my question. ;)

You are welcome sir :)
I like the idea, but I will need a time to figure that out and see if I can implement or not.

Have you tried this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=496

As I said befor, I am not using IE 7 as it's still on a beta stage.

To turn pager off by default, you will need to run two quries.
First query, to make sure that all new registerd users should have pager off by default.
From phpMyAdmin, run this query:
Now, let's do the same thing but for all existing users.
Run this query:
Good Luck

Change x to your moderators or admin usegroups.

I'm sorry but I didn't get it!
you want to page some user while selecting allow reply, but you don't want them to reply and instead show an error message saying that they're not allowed to reply??
are trying to humiliate your users lol.
Why don't you just uncheck the allow to use reply from the usergroup permissions and never show allow reply option!

I think what he's saying is that users can't respond to pager messages that they get from the admins because they don't have permission to use the system.

he would like it if anyone who gets sent a pager could reply to the pager message regardless if they're allowed to send a pager themselves.

hmm.. For some reason the pager will only pop up when u go to the User CP...
Does anyone here know why this would happen?

Great hack!

Thanks for clearing that up. This is exactly what I'm asking. ;)

Simply put, i want everyone to be able to reply, but i only want admins to contact others.

Everything is working only there is no access to the inbox.
Its pointing to: http://www.myweb.de/forum/pager.php?...g&folder=inbox
But it is loading for about 20 sec. and a blank page is coming.
On Version 3.02 it was ok, now on 3.04 not working more.

What I mean is, pages are not even received until the receiver visits usercp.php...

I refresh the home page of the forum, click quick links, open pager and view inbox - it does not get there until i visit specifically click User CP in the navbar. Everything else works great.

Please help me with this.

Thanks,
John

I was still wondering if there would be some simple way to make this work in 1 popup instead of embedded in the page like pop up in a new window like the buddy list and message list do when they are open or when a new pm comes says you have one kwim just a 1 time pop up hey here is your message I use to use something on BB boards called prillian it worked this way to send new message it opened a lil box you sent it etc then when recieveing it came in a lil pop up box with a lil quick reply under it like thing..I am still having many crashes with it esp when it opens and I have 3 or more pages of my site open you will get say 3 sound notice for 3 pages same message and have to close all 3 if your lucky to do this before you crash..I would really love to see this made into a pop up instead of embedded into the page when a new message comes I would even pay some if it could be written out like that if you don't want the whole script changed I just think 1 pop up of the message would be much better for my site and work well without the crashes

Okay, got it... it's not there right now, but I might have it in the next version as a new usergroup permission.

Get me an account to your forum.

I guess your problem has been solved, where you have missplaced the code edit in the footer template ;)

I'll try to come up with a new option in the next release where you can switch between DHTML POPUP or a normal POPUP.

One quick request for you. Could you add a "reply" button on the window that pops up when you get a message? Clicking on the user each and every time is getting to be a pain. >_<

Lovely! You da man! :cool:

Thanks Uae this is still one of the best and most used hacks on my site esp for those online from work who can not use certain features behind firewalls this allows them to still chat etc just want to get it where it works with all users without the crashes I think a popup would solve alot of the issues ppl on my site are having thanks for trying
