You should be able to use the old file from the original package here, I will rewrite it later if anyone has problems installing this.There is a working version on my site, see sig below, you would need to register on site before using vBmessenger, did not want to use demo account as it is a live board. file needs to be uploaded here vbmessenger/sources/lib/

Thx Spikeman. It works good. There is few things though. Since I use firefox I noticed that that when you send new messege to person. First line will not appear to that user, it will only open his pop up. Second message will display fine. With IE there is no such problem. And it only applies to first message you send to someone.But if you are in the middle of conversation and you close that window, then send message again to the person you were chatting with it will not show first message again. All messages after that are fine.
Changing text color is also wrong with FF, but that is not that important.

And I am not sure why is contacts.php there, it is just a blank page.

i would like to see a picture of it to see what this is please....i don't want a demo just a screenshot please

You have screenshots for old version:

And I have to correct myself about that first message not showing up. I was using FF 2 beta that was released recently and it seems to be buggy. I installed back 1.5.0.7 and first message is ok. Color thing still stands though.

I guessed it would have been a bug ;) I will look into the changing text colour, I rushed it all out there so users could get it working, it all needs cleaning up.

thanks so much that is what i wanted! perfect for my needs i do have vbpager but i will add this also! thanks!

install.inc doesn't work for me

Not a big deal at all, I was glad to have this installed asap. I hope we'll see a lot of progress on this like other functions being activated etc. And thx again to all involved.

blackwidow you are the best! so you all know, blackwidow took time away from moving servers to solve my problem. that was way beyond what i expected!

thanks so much for pointing out that if you have a portal you might have to update your image paths in order to see the install script.

your welcome tyegurl.
but you have gotten it wrong, if you have a portal and you would like to have the messenger redirct to the portal then you have to change a single path, is what i ment to say.
as for the forums forum that does not make a diffrence i just double looke the codes when helping tyegurl.

any update for 2.03?

install.inc doesn't work, still got fatal error.

im very sorry everyone i have not had time to work on the codes, im am trying to move my server, and get the domain transfered but i have a very big problem im trying to get solved with my domain. but once i finish all that and i get settled into my new server i will. try my best to get 2.03 rolling out, dont loose me here:)

you have to put install.inc.php in
forum/vbmessenger/sources/lib/install.inc.php
then after you put that into that section
you go to www.your_site.com/forum/vbmessenger/
and it will bring up the install page, this page will show up in error form, du to the fact thats its somewhat old code and the image dirs are not hte same in 2.xx version.
but ignore all that and just type in your admin user and password in the boxs given and press install.
it should load the main page where you open the messenger.

*tips to get it working*
i donno why this is but when i help install this for a user i was on firefox and the install page came up, but that user was on ie and just saw white page, so try and use firefox to do the install.
also it has ben found that if you log out your forum then long back in makeing sure the remember me checkbox is checked then the messeger works better in connecting to your user table. so check the checkbox and log in

How is your forum configured?

http://www.domain.com/forum/ or
http://www.domain.com/index.php for example?

spikeman*
i looked into the code and i noticed that the only links that need to be changed if you have diffrent forum setup is the links inside the vb plugin. and even so those link would not cause this problem they are basic links the redirect page to index and get your pm info and profile info

but yes we can always work fromt he top, it would be goood to knowthe forum install dir pehchaan

http://www.domain.com/home.php << vba CMS
http://www.domain.com/index.php << vb Forum
http://www.domain.com/vbmessenger/ << vb Messenger

i tried many time with install file, but still not, just getting errors, i posted before.

let me take a look for you, now you know why I asked about directory structure, things are not always that simple.:)

Yeah,
Thanks man you have done it !! i really appreciate your work. :)

My pleasure ;)

I have a couple of questions...
1. when I click on Latest Topics I get this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/admin/domains/bostonerotic.net/public_html/board/marquee.php on line 36
2. The rest of the settings all say coming soon... How do I get them?
3. I want to disable word filter... Where would I do that?

Thank you,
Ella

Are you using the marquee.php from the downloaded package or the one posted by me post#38? the one in the download package does not work.

spikeman i think the marquee that you posted also didn't work for me i will double check tomorrow.
im not sure about word filter i don't remember seeing any codeings for it int he files but i will see maybe its a simple $ from vb

Thats strange, just change this path to match your own require ('global.php'); and it should be good to go.

i got it to install my prob is it keeps saying for me to login when i go to /vbmessenger

Are you logged into your site when you click on messenger?

In reply to who had taken over this hack, If i recall right PixelFx had taken over this hack and was planning on redoing it from the ground up with flash video support and that. But i got no idea what happened with that, I'm personaly fine with you taking over this hack as i was working on a v2 and windows basiced version but due to time mainly the lack of it, the idea was put on hold for good.

I would also like to warn people that this hack can over load your server if used on a busy site due to the page reloading to check for new messages and people online and off line.

There was also a very big prob with aol and how aol works that in return stopped this working for aol users.

works for me if i download the install.php

altho its a tad bit slow.. maybe having an option for refresh time.. dunno what that will do for server loads tho.

I'll wait for next version before i start using it.

PS: im on vb 3.5

It would be nice if we had something like this but only to have private one on one chat. So that you can load messenger window from user profile to have a conversation with. That way it could load faster. And wouldn't have to refresh all the time to check who's online. But would still be very useful.

nevermind...

nevermind..

Hello,
I installed vbseo or another reason.,before vbmessenger works perfect but now
it doesnt work I get this error.

How can we fix it ,seo friendly?

Those errors all concern the settings and connection to your mysql db, have you changed anything else? I would also suggest that if it did indeed stop working as a result of vbseo that you contact them and ask them why it would occurr.

how can I uninstall this..and than I'll reinstall again..

if anybody can run this hack I will install ? anybody can give me installed link

I put the vbmessenger folder in the same directory as the rest of my vb
using ASCII upload.
Put the marquee.php in the same vb directory with the other "loose" single vb files.
No effect I can see on my vb.

What should I see when I login?

Went to my admincp and checked the Plugins Manager.
Can't see anyhing new.
Nothing in Manage Products either.
Checked the upload plugin. It refers to xml files and I didn't see any in vbmessenger at least not at top or second level.
There's just a vbmessenger folder + the marquee.php

What do I do please?
