No not an integration. Members now have to refresh a page to see the pager message but the vbshout has an automatic refresh in it so members can exchange messages without refreshing the forum index. There's a popup for the reciever when a message is send depending on the refreshrate of the shout which is rather high in most cases.

In the old sms and shoutbox system i had code connected to the refreshbutton so when people refreshed the shoutbox the pager/sms appeared. Now if that is possible it looks also possible with vbpager/vbshout. :)

It's already there!
vB Pager has its own AJAX refresh system, you don't need to refresh the page you're viewing to get a pager message!

-edit- ow i see it now. You can set this in the options. :) Cool!

Look at this attachment
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=40492
Change the value for vB Pager AJAX check Period to x seconds.
let's try 5 seconds.

so every 5 seconds, ajax will check if there is a new pager message awaitng, and it will pop up without a manual refresh.

Yes :) This will improve functionality. Very nice!

Thank you. Working well. However, in the navbar, there is always a number for Total. User has deleted all messages when he/she clicks on Pager Messages, but it still shows a Total number.

Any thoughts?

IE crashes as soon as you recieve a msg

any ideas ?

I have the latest IE and it doesn't crash.

This solved it http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889389/en-us

Hi

I have installed and have this issue please see image,
Please can you let me know how to resolve this please as there is no way
to see all the message :(

Ps. the length/depth of the pager poup is about twice the length/depth of the forum lol

Didnt see this one here yet .

Ive installed and all seems well.. except that i dont have an option to enable/disble the vbpager in the UserCP. I see the icon in the postbit and in the whos online and in the memberinfo.

But as of right now i have no permissions.. there is only banned users and not registered users disabled from using vbpager..


so whats left to check? the modify options edit is correct.. so im kind of lost at this point..

Thanks in advance..

Lenny :)

Edit: errrr... Should include the need to edit the usergroups permissions for the pager in the install file.. I was under the impression everyone had the permissions except the userids listed in the area for banned users.. :) well off to to toy and see if we find any bugs :p

Has anyone who had high server load issues tried the new version?

What exactly has changed, refresh frequency, or something more fundamental.

mine did....buy at least 25% but i'de have to wait couple more days for members to use it more see if it would be higher then 25%

nice hack installed but need the arabic version

awesome hack - is it possible to use this on non vb pages? I'd love to incorporate it on my whole site!

Well Uae, it all seems to work as it is supposed to. Quite impressive. But, we've been finding that the vbpager is crashing people's browsers; only when they're using the latest version of IE. It appears to work flawlessly with Netscape and FF. I'm not quite sure why; I've reinstalled the software, and it all appears to be correct.

I did upgrade my boards from 3.07 to 3.52, and, also, moved everything to a new server. But, all works well. Can't seem to figure out why we're getting these browser crashes. And, they most definitely are triggered by the vbpager popup.

aside from the hack.. i dont know if youre aware how horrible and what a bug that IE7 is alone .. so it doesnt surprise me that it cant handle this and im sure much much more outside of vbulletin ..

just my 2 cents..

Lenny :)

As long as you can fetch userinfo on non vb pages, then sure you can use it.


I haven't tried this, cos I'm not getting my IE crashed with the hack, but please do try the update from microsoft and see.

Thanks all, I'll send this out to my members and see what happens.

Hallo can you make a Fix to use vB Pager and MkPortal together.

Sorry 4 my bad English

This is my problem also...I am awaiting a fix :)

So am I right in thinking that with the fix it still increases loads considerably, or is it now a negligable difference?

IE still crashing for me, not sure why .. going to go over all the code again, after I've had some sleep.

I can't seem to get my messages to show. Everyone has the correct permissions, I'm using VB 3.5, etc. This is all it shows: HERE


Any clue to why it says I have new messages, yet not showing them once clicked? Also is it away to tie in the blinking red private message alert hack (the one they use here) with this hack?

I am sorry but I have never tried MkPortal and vB Pager was written for vBulletin only!

I haven't upgraded my forum to vb 3.5 yet :cry: poor me, so I am not using the hack yet.
I just did all the work on a test board, and I can not really tell if there is loads on the server or not, I ain't got a lot of online users on my test boards.

Have you tried the update from microsoft? the link is in my previous post.

Are you saying that you are not getting pager messages? or you got them but when you go to your pager messages inbox it's not there?
Have you tried your sent items? cos a lot of people never try looking at their sent items and it always says there is number of messages stored!
The total number of pager messages you got to see in the navbar are messages from both, your inbox and your sent items folder, so please do check both.

Uae, the upgrade from Microsoft seems to have done the trick with respect to IE crashing. But, we'll continue to test.

Amazing piece of coding. Nice job.

rich

Thanks for pointing me to the sent items box. That did the trick.

For the next version, it is very hard to see the dropdown arrow next to the word inbox. Actually, it is hard to see the word inbox if you have a dark style. Perhaps you can make it bigger or in a color that stands out more?

*voted this for HOTM* :)

*voted this for HOTM* :)

I am not getting pages (messages or whatever) at all in the inbox. If I log into a test account on a different browser and send my username a page (or the opposit) the text in the navbar says "Pager Messages: Unread 1, Total 1." but when I click Pager Messages, it says "No Pager Messages to Display!" I can see the pager message(s) in the sent box of the one that sent it, and the numbers seem to always be correct either way, but the messages never show in the inbox. I am running 3.5.3 by the way, it that makes any difference.

Snap But Running 3.5.2

Okay, I'm having this strange issue with the AJAX popup. If you take a look at the attachment, for some reason the height of the window is staying at 1px (yet the width appears to be correct). The grey line is my border colour, and the white line is the scrollbar. The width seems to be fine, but not the height.

When I send a message, that line appears in the middle of the screen (as the window should, but obviously larger height-wise). At this point, my Total and Unread counts increase, but I can't view the message in the Inbox (presumably because I need to click 'Close' first in the popup, which I can't do with the height the way it is). It's all working fine, it's just this display issue that's puzzling me. I've tried displaying this in both IE6 and FF v1.0.4 and they both have the issue (on Opera it doesn't even display the line, so I can't tell if it works or not there).

Even when I don't have a new pager message, that funny line is still there, but tucked in the top left corner (which makes sense as you don't adjust the position unless a new message is here?) I'm just not sure if that's what it should be like, and right now I can't do anything with it other than send messages. Any idea?

Salam Alaikom,,
Thank u really uae,,

it is really GREAT,

Uae, really nice product...

I have two questions I can not resolve:

1) Is there are way to respond to Pager Messages ? Currently I only see where I can delete them.

2) The chat box dissapears once you send a message. How do you keep it open ?

<font color="SeaGreen">* christianb subscribes to this thread</font>

Right! Look at my example. It shows the messages should be there, but when I go into my inbox they aren't. I look into my sent messages and those show up. I don't get why I can't recieve any. I even tried to download option just to test it and I got this: (You have no pager messages to download.)

I really need this. I don't know what to do. Anyone have an idea?

This works perfectly for me in firefox. Lots of crashes in Internet Explorer with AJAX turned on. If I turn AJAX off, then it works great in IE. Any idea why AJAX is causing IE to crash?

Is it AJAX? Interesting concept, I'll have to try playing with that.

I'm not sure if it is AJAX or not, but when I change the setting from 0 to any number, IE starts crashing on me. Otherwise, the popup works great and I can move it around in the browser. Only downside is I have to refresh page to get updated pages. Boy, AJAX would be great! I hope you can figure it out.

Seems like I'm not the only one with the same questions....
