Here are some screenshots

Looks good. *installs*

Question...why does it appear in the postbit as a link?

Hover over it and you'll see :p Take a look at the screenshot.

Okey..it's the message. Got it.

2 things (nothing major). Can't use ( ' ) when adding new statuses to the menu and the menu of statuses is blank on a vbadvanced page. I think this would be awesome if the users could just add their on custom status.

Nonetheless, great hack!!

I'll try it.

I was able to use 't"'e's't'''' just fine. What are you trying to use? As for the users having their own statuses, that can be done by changing the drop down to another input. I made it like that just so that you can have some control. And the vbadanced page, options can't be called there at all for some reason. Vbadavanced uses the global.php file in a weird way. I will look into making it compatible with vba.

One of my options was Please Don't Bother Me. When I selected it, I got a database error:

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 't Bother Me',

I just changed it to Please Dont Bother Me.

I see the problem for that Roxie :p

Forgot to add Anyways, i updated the zip. Just add that code under In the "Save Away/Status Message" Plugin if you already installed it.

your 1st image is what I'm referring to.
anyway to change the text "away/status" to something else? Like,
Currrent game/project?
considering you can change the status name and the message that'd be somethin l'd like to do.
:-) Nice hack!

Thank you, and yes you can :p

Simply edit the following phrases:
sr_away_status
sr_away_awaystatus
sr_away_message

Also, do not forget to click install. Support will not be given to those who don't (i just realized you didn't).

hm.. can't find
in postbit.

Your template must have been customized. Try just searching for $vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts] and then look for a <br> or a </div> next to it.

Hi Gio! Nice hack! I am installing it now. One question, in the postbit, when they don't have a status selected, is there a way to NOT show the line "Status: None" at all? Leaving the complete line blank if they don't select any status?

found this

Ad an <if condition="$post[sr_away_status] != 'none'"> before the code that you need to add in postbit. And an </if> after.

Then add it after the </div> :p

w00t! that worked like a charm! Installed!

ok got that but now when I go to change the Member info template and edit I get this error. know why?
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /admincp/template.php could not be found on this server.

Does this happen while saving the template or viewing the page. If it happens while editing the template, then either you are putting it in the wrong place or you have a misconfigured if statement.

even if I don't edit the template, if I just click save or save and reload I get that error.

Then this means that your template itself has an error.

well that sucks, lol. How do I fix this?

You will have to post this in another forum for support. I will take a look when i can :p However, if it happens without you making an edit, then it's the template itself.

ok, thanks man, I appreciate the help and would appreciate it if you could look into it for me, I can send you the code if needed. when/if you get time.

If you'd like, you can PM me with details with admincp access and such and i will take a look at it tommorow if it has not yet been solved, as it is getting late for me :)

everything installed just wonderfully....two problems...yes it doesn't work on vbadvance's pages....secondly i can get it to submit rather quickly but then it tries to open misc.php and it takes forever to load....i haven't had the patience to wait past 2 minutes....any ideas?

1) Yes, i need to look into the vbadvanced situation.
2) I suggest you take a look at your misc.php and hooks on it, as this shouldn't happen.

what am i looking for? cuz i have no clue.....lmfao i am sorry...i am still learning to understand this stuff. please be patient with me.

Ah i see. Well, it will be a bit difficult to locate the problem if you do not know what it is. Try disabling certain products (besides this one) and see which one causes the lag. This hack shouldn't take anywhere near long to update your message as it doesn't do many things :p. The only thing it can be is either a little connection issue on your side or a hack you have installed.

Mine is working good! Users are loving it. I had to change it up a bit with the locations of things since my templates are modded up pretty good. It did help that I have a pretty good knowledge of the inner workings of vB though :-)

Thanks again

great hack... but when will you be adding th ability for users to have a custom status?
