vb.org Archive - Away message for users

How to get this hack to work with 2.2.6 starting with the original installer:

Now here's how to get past the problems with usercp.php step 2/2 and user.php step 1/4 when installing for vB 2.2.6. All credit goes to Boofo (who provided the final replacements) and talon3dhq (who found the right code in 2.2.6's files)! Here we go:

a) usercp.php, step 2/2:

Bira wants us to find:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ((!$buddy[invisible] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6) and $buddy[lastactivity]>$datecut) {

    $onoff="on";

  } else {

    $onoff="off";

  }

Instead, search for (thanks talon3dhq!):

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($buddy['lastactivity'] > $datecut and (!$buddy['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $buddy['lastvisit'] != $buddy['lastactivity']) {

$onoff="on";

} else {

$onoff="off";

}

And replace it with (thanks Boofo!):

PHP Code:


		
			
// Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.2)

  if ($buddy[away]=="1") {

      $onoff="away";

  } else {

      if ($buddy['lastactivity'] > $datecut and (!$buddy['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $buddy['lastvisit'] != $buddy['lastactivity']) {

        $onoff="on";

      } else {

        $onoff="off";

      }

  }

// Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.2)

b) user.php, step 1/4:

Bira wants us to find:

PHP Code:


		
			
user=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT *,FROM_UNIXTIME(joindate) AS joindate,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastvisit) AS lastvisit,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastactivity) AS lastactivity,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastpost) AS lastpost

Instead, search for (thanks talon3dhq!):

PHP Code:


		
			
$user=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT user.*,FROM_UNIXTIME(joindate) AS joindate,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastvisit) AS lastvisit,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastactivity) AS lastactivity,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastpost) AS lastpost,

And replace it with (thanks, Boofo!):

PHP Code:


		
			
  $user=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT user.*,FROM_UNIXTIME(joindate) AS joindate,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastvisit) AS lastvisit,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastactivity) AS lastactivity,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastpost) AS lastpost,FROM_UNIXTIME(awaydate) AS awaydate,

Besides, I ran into some minor problems most of you won't have a problem with. Anyway, here we go again:

a) usercp.php, step 1/2:

Bira wants us to find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$sql="SELECT userid,username,invisible,lastactivity

You will find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$sql="SELECT userid,username,invisible,lastactivity,lastvisit

Replace it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
$sql="SELECT userid,username,invisible,away,lastactivity,lastvisit

b) user.php, step 4/4:

Bira wants us to find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='$birthday'

You will find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='$birthday',options='$options',usergroupid='$usergroupid',username='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($ausername))."'$pwdinclude,email='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',styleid='$userstyleid',parentemail='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."',coppauser=$coppauser,homepage='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."',icq='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."',aim='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."',yahoo='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."',signature='".addslashes($signature)."',adminemail=$adminemail,showemail=$showemail,invisible=$invisible,usertitle='".addslashes($usertitle)."',customtitle=$customtitle,joindate=$joindate,cookieuser=$cookieuser,nosessionhash=$nosessionhash,daysprune='$daysprune',lastvisit=$lastvisit,lastactivity=$lastactivity,lastpost=$lastpost,posts='$posts',timezoneoffset='$timezoneoffset',emailnotification=$emailnotification,receivepm='$receivepm',emailonpm='$emailonpm',ipaddress='".addslashes($aipaddress)."',pmpopup=IF(pmpopup=2 AND $pmpopup=1,pmpopup,'$pmpopup') WHERE userid=$userid");

Change it to:

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET away='$away',awaydate=$awaydate,returndate='$returndate',awayreason='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($awayreason))."',birthday='$birthday',options='$options',usergroupid='$usergroupid',username='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($ausername))."'$pwdinclude,email='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',styleid='$userstyleid',parentemail='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."',coppauser=$coppauser,homepage='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."',icq='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."',aim='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."',yahoo='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."',signature='".addslashes($signature)."',adminemail=$adminemail,showemail=$showemail,invisible=$invisible,usertitle='".addslashes($usertitle)."',customtitle=$customtitle,joindate=$joindate,cookieuser=$cookieuser,nosessionhash=$nosessionhash,daysprune='$daysprune',lastvisit=$lastvisit,lastactivity=$lastactivity,lastpost=$lastpost,posts='$posts',timezoneoffset='$timezoneoffset',emailnotification=$emailnotification,receivepm='$receivepm',emailonpm='$emailonpm',ipaddress='".addslashes($aipaddress)."',pmpopup=IF(pmpopup=2 AND $pmpopup=1,pmpopup,'$pmpopup') WHERE userid=$userid");

--- snip ---

Don't forget, the installer has another error! Thanks to Birdie501 for pointing this out to us.

a) member.php, step 4/4:

Bira wants us to find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    eval("\$referrals = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_referrals")."\";");

  }

And place this after it:

PHP Code:


		
			
// Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.2)

  if ($userinfo[away]=="1") {

      $sincedate = vbdate($dateformat, $userinfo[awaydate]);

    if ($userinfo[returndate]=="0000-00-00") {

        $returndate = "Unknown";

    } else {

          $returnaway = explode("-", $userinfo[returndate]);

          $returndate = vbdate($dateformat, mktime(0,0,0,$returnaway[1],$returnaway[2],$returnaway[0]));

      }

      eval("\$away .= \"".gettemplate("getinfo_away")."\";");

  } else {

      $away = "";

  }

// Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.2)

Instead, place it after:

PHP Code:


		
			
eval("\$referrals = \"".gettemplate("getinfo_referrals")."\";");

  }

else {

        $referrals = '';

    }
