FF, I don't give two flips what anyone else says... this hack rocks. Especially with the add-on so that admins & mods can keep track of users & what not and the regular users can't use it.

i installed this when i had 2.2.1 now i upgraded to 2.2.6 ...will this work with 2.2.6?

Yes it will.

thanks firefly :)

I just read through the whole thread and I don't think I missed anything. Chen, did you ever post the code to be able to post something directly to vbpad like from a message or link or something? :) If I missed it, I'm sorry.

No I haven't.

I would like to try out this hack but I dont understand how to do that? I see an install button and an unstall button but not sure what they are doing?

hmm.. how do I un-install this script? :p

(nothing personal firefly, but I cant get it to work, and then I realise that I dont need it)

What addon is this? I must have missed it or already installed it. :)

EDIT:

Nevermind, I missed one line with copying :(

Great hack!

very nice hack firefly (as usual)

can the admins also see what the users have in their vBpad?
or is that restricted info? :p

I seem to have gotten everything working, EXCEPT for member2.php - it's not loading up in vbpad mode :(. Can someone take a look and tell me what's wrong?

Thanks!

(running vBulletin 2.2.6 with several other hacks installed FYI)

FIrefly, will you marry me? God i just love your hacks, you rock*hail hail*

Pretty outstanding. That installer is the best idea I've seen. Clicks Install twice cos I like it that much. ;)

I promise that I have searched every thread in this topic and cannot find the answer to my problem.

I installed this hack on my 2.2.6 board. Everything appeared to go well. Before testing it out, I went into the admin controls and altered the settings to only allow one box with 1000 characters. I then went to the VBPad option in the UserCP, and I saw TWO boxes that said 'Welcome to your personal vBpad!'

I entered some test texted into one and clicked update my pad, and they it took me to the main userCP section.

I then clicked my vbPad again and now it still shows the 'Welcome to your personal vBpad!' twice, but now also the test test I had entered... but there are TWO boxes for that as well, as if I entered it in twice.

Why is this happening, I would appriciate any help.
Thanks in advance...
Dan

Wonderful hack - installed in 10 minutes, works like a charm!

Thanx much!

BUMP!

@ DanIAm - I attempted to duplicate your problem on my test board, and came up with the following.

Check your usercp_notepad_bit template.

It should be...

<tr>
<td bgcolor="$bgcolor" nowrap><normalfont><textarea name="notes[]" rows="5" cols="62">$val</textarea></normalfont></td>
</tr>

If, you check, I think you will find you have the above entered 2 times in the template, and it should only be once.

Hope this helped.

@ Firefly - I just noticed that if you delete ALL your notes, the last updated says 'Never' as opposed to the time you last deleted all your notes. Not a big deal...:D

Thank you very much! This indeed was the problem, and upon your suggested corrections, the issue has been resolved. Thanks again.

:D

Glad I could help! :D

Any word on this and 2.2.7?

I decided to go ahead and reinstall the hack on my 2.2.7 board.

The vBPad itself works fine and seems to be without error.

However in my admin control>vBulletin Options
panel> the vBPad section duplicates every option. I have included a pic for reference. <see below> It shows the default option settings, as well as the option setting I had configured when 2.2.6 was installed. What can I do to correct this?

Thanks in advance,

i've install on my forum 2.2.7 and work fine, great hack!

Did anyone ever come up with a way to have this have different option limits for different usergroups? Or even have an option to have the Admin and whoever else he wants to bypass the max notes and max character limits?

Does anyone know the queries I need to run to set the max number of notes allowed and the max characters allowed for each usergroup in the database for this? I can figure out the rest if I can get that part done.

There's no need for queries. If you install the hack correctly, you can set those options in your Admin CP under vBulletin Options, vBPad Options.

No...No...that's not what I mean. I want to be able to set the max notes and max characters for EACH usergroup, not just global, which is the way it does it now.

nice as allways

Could anyone please tell me what I did wrong for my admin options to look like this only for vbPad:

http://www.mentalmingle.com/images/VBPAD.jpg

I got the following error

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/mindsigh/public_html/path/member2.php on line 148

Parse error: parse error in /home/mindsigh/public_html/path/member2.php on line 148

Does this work in 2.2.8?

How many queries per page does this add?

If it does add queries, which pages does it add and how many?

bump

FireFly I keep getting an error when I try to run this:

I think that 40 is being used for the g-forces warning hack and if it is the 32 that something is there also. Do you know what I can do?

Dark Shogun

I've meticulously followed all the directions in the install, checked and rechecked several times, and still get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/mydomain/public_html/forum/member2.php on line 493

I don't see it.

I'm running vb version 2.2.6

What gives. Anybody know?

OK...I'm sorry... I guess I'm being stupid. (Like normal)

This Install PHP is an acutaly installer? Or a set of instructions. And I need to install phpMyAdmin prior to installing???

Sorry... for the stupidness.... And Thanks!!!

Bump, can anyone confirm this working with 2.2.8 without any bugs?

Also, Dark Shogun: I have the warning hack installed too, so I will encounter the same problem as you, can a whizz at PHP help us out please?

I installed the install_vbpad.php file correctly, but I don't know what to do now. What exactly do I have to edit, and what's this about the license information...

OH wait, I updated my profile info, I'm Redshifted. I just use Data too. What's more, I edited my usercpnav template to add the My vBpad cell, but when I click on the link, I get a blank page.

Well, I'm glad that no one wants to help me out. */sarcasm* :p
