One way around adding cookies is to hard code variables in at least for yourself personally dictating what sections are open and which ones are closed

My question is what is it going through that takes twenty seconds to load for me

I mean I got 3.0 megabits down and a dedicated server, so its going through something like crazy in the database. I have a few thousand pms, but no reason it should be going through all of them?

ok still have not even delved into tracking down what is hitting the db so bad, but I really liked this idea so I am running with it

http://sportsforum.ws/assistant.php

Is what I got so far

I have all sections closed to start

Fixed the arrows so they are pointing the right direction (they point down when its open, should be up - if you are going to follow the existing model this is taken from, that being windows)

Made it so it can have only one open section at a time.

Before I saw this I was working on a taskbar thingy and this just fit in perfect, so I will post that in a bit, its not in the task bar, like the others mentioned (to do that like they described you just create a side task bar, then create a new task bar in that and use the url to your script, ie http://sportsforum.ws/assistant.php and then set on auto hide, on top, etc however you want it)

Also took out the javascript links, got to go back and read the reason on why that was done again before I fix it or just leave it.

Nice job and nice idea.

Hey guys.... I love the "right-click" activation for this, but we use that too much for copying and pasting stuff in the forums.

How could I change the command sequence to something else that isn't being used already? Maybe... shift key-right mouse click? Or Ctrl-A for "assistant" .... or some other combination??

Otherwise, could we add the vB Assistant to the Windows submenu that appears when one right-clicks the mouse? Instead of that working to launch the little window in it's place.

Thanks a bunch! :banana:

it shouldn't take that long to load. Mines load as fast as a regular page.

it does about the same amount of queries that forum home does when fetching PM count, unread, etc.... shouldn't be no more than 7 - 8 queries, i didn't count them all though so i am guessing.

can't understand the directions.......of course I am not that great at this stuff, my problem is on step3.

"Notes: Make sure you edit the "forums" name to the name of your directory!

Some where at the top of your template head insert above $headnewpm"

Where is this???

I have modified this hack to work as a docked frame instead of a popup, you can see it in action by clicking here (click Enable TK Assistant at the top left once you're there). If people like this for some reason, I can post the modifications here at vB.org.

I would like this very much. Have looked at your's and its just
what i'm lookin for. Thank you very much.

I would also like to see this as a dockable frame, as well as having the choice for popup.

It is a typo, it should read:

In the template headinclude add the following ABOVE $headnewpm

<snip code: (see install directions)>

Notes: Make sure you edit the "forums" name to the name of your directory!

I had looked at this hack when it was first released and I didn't think it was something I could use.....boy was I wrong. After some members suggested an easier way to browse my site I installed this. After only a few days it has become a huge hit on my site and I find myself using it all the time to.

Installation was so simple and this hack is such a great addition to any forum so I just want to say thanks Sebastian for releasing this.

This is a most excellent hack. Great Work :D

Cheers
Mike

I have a bit of an issue--I run my forum directly off of a domain, and not under a subdirectory. So how do I go about using this, as entering the forum directory as "/" doesn't work.

Thanks! :)

Sebastian, well my question was that my forum isn't in a directory (per se, of course it is in a directory, just the web site's home one). In other words, my forum is the site, the site the forum ie: http://domain.com

I solved it by removing:
$forumdir = "???"; // name of your forum directory

-and removing any mention of $forumdir anywhere.

Everything works now, and I'm sure members will really groove on it, DANKE! :D

I had same question (page 4 of this thread), and solved it via the method I posted above. Works fine now.

My quota is set to 100 ... my mods are 50, and members are 40.

Edit: My BAD ... I had this set to Zero (Unlimited) ... after placing the members amount into the box, the error went away.

Thanks for the heads up guys! :)

Setting Maximum saved messages in Vbulletin admin area to zero *IS* a valid option (0 means unlimited, it says in the configuration option's description!)

Yes, the code needs a few small bugfixes (marked by the // ADDED comments below) so as not not div by zero if in fact limit is zero :) If max pm limit is 0 (unlimited), just hide the PM quota stuff.

Around line 46, add a simple IF statement. Change this:

PHP Code:


		
			
           $amount = round(($allpm[messages]/$pmquota) * 100,2);



if ( $amount <= 15 ) 

{     

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full) <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\">¬¬¬¬</small>";

}

elseif ( $amount <= 30 ) 

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full) <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level2.gif\">¬¬¬</small>";

}

elseif ( $amount <= 45 )

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full) <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level2.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level3.gif\">¬¬</small>";

}

elseif ( $amount <= 60 )

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full) <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level2.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level3.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level4.gif\">¬</small>";

}

elseif ( $amount <= 90 )

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full)</small> <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level2.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level3.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level4.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level5.gif\">";  

} 

else

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><font color='red'><b>FULL</b></font>";

}

to be like:

PHP Code:


		
			
       if ($pmquota != 0) { // ADDED





    $amount = round(($allpm[messages]/$pmquota) * 100,2);



if ( $amount <= 15 ) 

{     

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full) <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\">¬¬¬¬</small>";

}

elseif ( $amount <= 30 ) 

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full) <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level2.gif\">¬¬¬</small>";

}

elseif ( $amount <= 45 )

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full) <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level2.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level3.gif\">¬¬</small>";

}

elseif ( $amount <= 60 )

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full) <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level2.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level3.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level4.gif\">¬</small>";

}

elseif ( $amount <= 90 )

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><small>($amount% full)</small> <img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level1.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level2.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level3.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level4.gif\"><img src=\"$images/level5.gif\">";  

} 

else

{

     $meter = "<br/><br/><font color='red'><b>FULL</b></font>";

}





} // ADDED

Around line 383 where it prints this messages section:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ( $bbuserinfo[userid] != 0 ) {

                        echo "<center>You have $unreadpm[messages] new messages. <br/> $allpm[messages] are old messages. $meter $lastpm</center>";

                } else {

                        echo $guestmsg;

                }

change it to be:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($pmquota == 0) $meter = ""; // ADDED

if ( $bbuserinfo[userid] != 0 ) {

                        echo "<center>You have $unreadpm[messages] new messages. <br/> $allpm[messages] are old messages. $meter $lastpm</center>";

                } else {

                        echo $guestmsg;

                }

the assiatant oopens but only blank...
http://deutsches-architektur-forum.de/forum

thx:)

seems like it is working to me. Opens up fine for me.

Yep, no problems here, it works fine wolfgang2 (unless you eventually got it working, and thus duh, heh).

First of all, very nice Hack.
What about a Option in the users Profile, wher Users can select to Popup the Assistant Window automaticly when visit the forums?

Thanks
Kars

/me licks install!

d00d can't you make it template based please it would be easier to edit the tables how people want them.

next version is going to be template based I think.

great hack really helpfull and easy to install

thanks man.

works great on vb2.3.0

somthing wierd happening on my site it does not seem to support java no more i added the links etc and nothing loads

is there anyway to get the last 10 post to appear in it?

I'm using v1.1 ... but my private messages section doesn't seem to have the features listed (ie- who sent the pm, read first 75 character, etc). Here is a screanie of my PM section. Did I do something wrong?

I would really like to know how you did this. Let me know when you can, I know others are very intrested as well.

theres something wrong with the javascript, my window simply pops up but is blank

hold on, fixed, sorry :P

Would there be a way to make this work with different styles? So that it grabs the proper colors set for the current scheme?
Without this I cant use it since I can already see users bugging me about the colors :(

Um... the ZIP file is corrupted.

is the templete style out yet?

Sorry to bring back a pretty dead thread but does ANYONE know how I can make the vB Assistant to automatically popup when someone goes to the homepage instead of having to click on it? Also is there a way to make it refresh automatically?

Dark Shogun

So, my vB Assistant seems to take around 20-30 seconds to load up, as well. I have a very active forum, around a million posts and some 12,000 users; we're on a top of the line dedicated system with 2 gigs of RAM. I hardly think that this is a hardware issue. I've reviewed the code though, and aside from heavy querying, I don't see why it should take so long to load. Any ideas on why it's taking long?

Bug (confirmed), in that vB Assistant cannot handle usernames with apostrophes or special characters, and uses malformed queries:

Quote:

Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads FROM thread WHERE postuserid = '12392' AND visible = '1' AND lastpost > '1074904556' AND lastposter != 'Euclides Ti'ran' ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 0,1
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'ran' ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 0,1' at line 1

this works great, except for that fact that the message preview doens't show up. it just says:

You have 1 new messages.
12 are old messages.

And there is no link to go to your PMs.

I also can't get any of the sections to collapse, could this be due to the fact that I'm on a mac?
