updated yes but where is the actual hack, cos its not in the 1st post?

2 minutes, I'll upload it

Sorry folks, last minute bug has reared it's ugly head - just fixing now - 5 more minutes...

ok bug (hopefully) fixed :)

v1.1 is now available for download

sweet new version is great.... :)

Personally, I don't like the punch starts even if Cancel is clicked on prompt window... if I click erroneously the user gets punched because I can't undo my action... that's not good for me, not intuitive ("cancel" usually means "cancel action"). I've changed "do_punch" to suit my needs: if (message != null) then punch else don't do anyting :)

I'll add also an alert box to confirm that punch was sent (no errors) because some browsers (eg. firefox by default) don't allow status bar text changing via javascript :)


Keep testing it... btw good idea :)

Security checks should be hardened... I was able to send a punch even if I'm not logged in. Try to write the url with the querystring and the user receive a PM from a "non registered" user...

A workaround that seems to work (but I don't think is the right way):

In vbpunch.php replace:
with:

Osmosis: Thanks for pointing that out, I forgot to add "$permissions['vbpunch']" in vbpunch.php - an oversight on my part :) I'll fix it in the next release.

hey I uninstalled everything cause I dont think it worked for me so now when I went to edit a usergroup it said this:
