vB Pager 2.0.4
 

vB Pager
Version: 2.0.5
vB-version: 3.0.6
Developer: WwW.UAEWEB.CoM
Install-difficulty: Easy


Okay, this is my first released hack here on vb.org, been using it in my private forum's with vB2 and finally, I've upgraded this hack for vB 3.0.1.


Introduction:
vB pager is a new refined & light paging system that enables authorized users to exchange short & quick messages amongst each other. Unlike the regular private messaging system, the paged user is guaranteed to read your message & reply to it (if you choose this option) instantly & easily.

Features:

• You won't need to log on your CP to send a message, just click on the pager icon next to the name of the user you'd like to page! (See Screenshots)
• Switch the paging system on or off anytime you wish!
• Specify who gets to use the paging system by Usergroup, or even User IDs to send messages to your forum members.
• vB Pager users can send pager messages to members of the forum and/or non-registered guests from the WhoisOnline's page.
• Optional Anonymity: you can choose to hide your username when paging another user on the forum, & define which Usergroup or User IDs can utilize this option.
• Restrict the number of characters in each message: you can restrict the use of this paging system to short messages only by simply typing in the maximum number of characters that can be used. The window comes in with a built-in character counter to enable the user to keep track of the characters typed.
• Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages member has, can be viewed and deleted.
• Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages (Deleted and Unread messages) for all members can be viewed and deleted through the Admin CP.

vB Pager 2.0.4 Updates:
- All popup windows are DHTML, so there should be no problem with popup killers.
- Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages (Deleted and Unread messages) for all members can be set to be Hard deleted, as a new option from vB Pager options in Admin CP.
- Many bug fixes.

vB Pager 2.0.5 Updates:
- Bug Fix: Getting blank messages from guest.

So it wont work for vb3 gold :/

I haven't tried installing the hack with vb3 gold, cos I have vb3.0.1 installed.

But yeah, it should work with vb3 gold.

This looks like a very good hack. *clicks install!

Looks good but won't install or uninstall. This has to do with table prefix. When i install it, it alters table but then an error because of the missing table (prefix). When i uninstall it won't let me do that because of missing tables. :(

Can you give a list commands to remove them manualy from mysql so i can install it again with the right prefix?

Sorry for that, both installation files been updated, should be ok now.

Ok Tnx. :) Installed but not working. The popup is showing a moment and disappears. There is also something wrong with the admin index.php because all links don't work after uploading .. page error (Dutch) "Tekenreeksconstante niet afgesloten" Regel 322 teken 33

In page.php and (admin) pageradmin.php there are also missing prefix

What version of vB you've got??
are you using any kind of "popup stopper"?

admincp/index.php should not have any problem, cos it's only a small mod, which adds vB Pager's links to it!

That's weird, I have been testing this for the past 5 days, and never had that kind of problem :ermm:

Strange, the admin index is working now. (??) Testing pager messages right now. It seems that it blocks sms messages (other IM system hack). The reply pager message show all as guests, not with username(s). In the admin section you can specify which user id's and groups can post etc. Does the usergroup settings overrules the user ID settings or do you have to specify all id's?

Working perfect for me EXCEPTTTTTTTTTT the link in the drop down menu under Quick Links does not show the messages, it just shows the forum in a pop up window

Looks good, I think I'm going to have to install this one soon :)

wasn't able to make it work... it install mostly ok, but have a LOAD of errors i had to correct myself... not all table_prefix are placed in the admin, the legend in the admin is not shown correctly... is a mess in the message admin too, maybe you'd be better to rework it to suite vB3 protocol.

was not able to make the popups work either... you did not used the protocol for templates, globalized, and code structure... looks like coded for vb2...

also, the detect for redirecting to the index.php when not in a popup, desable this, because it'S not detecting in new browsers like safari or mozilla... so that's why many are going to hit the index instead of the real popup...

also... instead of having a global template for all the features of the pager, why not build a single template for each page displayed ?!... this would be easier to manipulate, and to load... ;)

btw, chat functions are just great, don't think i'm bad, it's just that many errors only occurs because php is not written properly.

if you want someone to play with it and clean, i can do it by the week-end, and even add some functions in the game! (even add a button for arcade challenges in the chatbox, etc)

NuclioN, I have installed this hack on a fresh vb3.0.1, without any installed hack, execpt for HTL Installed, and I can not guarantee that this hack will work with your already hacked files of VB3.

usergroup ID will overtake the user ID setting, so you don't need to sepecify any user ID if that user's from the same usergroup you've already specified.

Again, sorry for that...

Open vbpager template and find

Change it to

Both installation files been updated with this silly thing.

As I mentioned in the first post, this is my first hack, and I'm just getting into these s...!

Which one did you try to install? the normal one or HTL hack?

I'll look into this tonight, and yeah, if you can help and tweak my little baby, that would be great.

PM me!

Question: Are the pager icons visible to users who are not authorized to use the pager system?

Works but now the popup stays visible after sending a message

No, unless you set that usergroup ID in vB Pager options.

Check this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=17

i get this error after i edited the global.php file:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: can_pager() in /home/ezilli2/public_html/gramps/forums/global.php on line 309

what am i doing wrong?

do i need to go into my database and rename "pager" in the User Table to "can_pager"?

Well, I downloaded the latest version and there's still the problem ith the table prefix. At least in the normal install.

nope, you just forgot to add the other parts of the files in...

you had to add some parts in includes/functions.php ... and that's where the function is located...

if i'm taken the job to update, i'll take the TEXT version of the install and update every details... there is a load of malfunctions, even for the guys that tested it today, because many features are not working because of improper variable calls... so even the guys that have tested it will have to upgrade and see more features in it... ;) :ninja:

i did that. still won't work. weird.

that would be a total godsend. i wonder how it worked for others then. anyhow, you rock for trying to help me out.

I get that when i do step 2 of the install.

Ok, [Normal] vB Pager 2.0.0 has been updated with the table prefix thing, hope it would go smooth now.

Myself and nexialys will be following up with this, and will try to come up with a cleaned version the next few days.

Thanks Nexialys, and all of you guys.

Try grabbing the latest updated [Normal] vB Pager 2.0.0 I got in the first post.

any way to get the popup to be a DHTML poupup .....

that way we could avoid the popup killers .....

many members have popup killlers and when a member
sends another member a message that has one of these
there message never gets read leaving them to think
there message was ignored ....

maybe even have a switch in the user cp to switch from regular popups to DHTML poupup .... also to have a notice at the bottom or the messages telling there message may not be read if the other member has popups blocked....

dhtml is good, i have plan to use something like;
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/amazondrop.htm

i hope to find the best dropin, because many browsers have trouble with them...

What is the difference between this and the "SMS System"?

Good point! many of our members are using popup killers. Maybe dhtml can deliver the messages. :)

Not much i guess. You can send a message to guests which is cool. The sms and this pager can work together without problems.

hope you find something soon.....

i'm reworking the tool by this week-end, to make a new release by monday... i think i will have that dhtml thing in it anyway...

for now, anybody is free to TRY this hack, but the next release will be built with a different structure for the template and lang files, so you'll be able to install a better version... no HTL, but the HTML version will be easier to understand, with less code changes... so for the ones that installed it, i hope you backed up !!!

This is fantastic
