No, it takes you to another web page that is user-defined (default set to google or whatever the admin chooses).

File updated.

ok 2 things im running vb 3.0.7

1- after i finished the installation the option was set to yes but the deafult url was empty(even though i added it when making the profile field as per the instructions)

2- i fill in the url and than try the panic button .... and it tries going here http://www.wirelessolution.net/www.google.com

any ideas??

it sounds to me as the problem may be with #1 above. delete that profile field and rebuild it. you can change the default value of the URL to anything you want. in fact, try http://www.wirelesssolution.net .

make sure all the other "yes" and "no" fields are correct.

/me comments on how nice a hack this is

I was having a problem with this when I installed... it wouldn't show the button till I did this edit you posted to the header... it came right on.


Great job and great idea... thanks for the hard work and support! excellent hack

okay I have a problem...

with the regular code in the install readme, the panic button will not show at all.

I thought I had it fixed when I used that other code that was posted in this thread, it worked.

My only problem here is that for some user on my site, they said it slowed down their loading of the site. When they would set the option to NO, it would still be there anyway.

There was no way to set the panic button on and off.

Can anyone fix the code for the header, and make it correct so this whole hack works? it's a great thing to add to mysite, but I don't want to put users who have slow connections or java problems out in the cold.

Thanks in advance.

If it doesn't turn off you need to check the values and filed numbers for the yse and no option.

Remember they are case sensitive.

Turned it right on...........great hack

It won't shut off........i have even set the default to no..........i rechecked my header and set the yes to capitol Yes........and still no go.....

this is what is in my header: <!-- PANIC BUTTON 1.0.1 for vBulletin 3.X by YinYang/dsboyce8624-->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field66] == Yes">
<!--[if lt IE 7]><script src="$vboptions[bburl]/clientscript/panicbutton.js" type="text/javascript"></script><![endif]-->
<div class=panicbutton>
<a href="$bbuserinfo[field67]"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/misc/panicbutton.gif" border="0" alt="Panic Button">
</div></if><!--[if lt IE 7]><script src="clientscript/panicbutton.js" type="text/javascript"></script><![endif]-->
<div class=panicbutton>
<a href="http://www.google.com"><img src="images/misc/panicbutton.gif" border="0" alt="Panic Button"></a>
</div>

this code above works, like i said, you just can't shut the panic button on/off.......please help. I have some member's that love this and some that hate it.........so on/off would be awesome.
