VB Messenger Desktop Application for vBulletin forums
 

What It Does:

With VBM your members can login to the messenger with thier membership details , add other members to thier contact list (for VB 3.7 contacts are the friends in the friend list) , communicate with each other with smilies , fonts , colors ... , also they will be notified about newest forum posts and threads and view "last 10 posts" in the forum in an easy and fast way with a "Read More" button that will open the thread/post when clicked .
VBM has a public chat room , that can be accessed by all members that use the messenger .
Your members will know about the newest posts in the forum and will open the new post in a new browser window once they click the notification , which means a more active forum members and a better moderation .

Features:

- VBM is easy to install and manage .
- VBM Means less resources required from your website server (MySQL Queries > CPU , Bandwidth) .
- VBM Means a more living forum , and a better moderation .

- It is easy to install and manage your VBulletin Messenger system .
- Fully Supported
- VBM takes less queries from DATABASE and takes less resources/bandwidth because it dosen't have to load the pictures/CSS/backgrounds or any other files from your server , it only loads a small list of online/offline contacts with information about last 10 posts and threads in the forum , which takes about 10-15 queries and max of 5kb-15kb transfere which is less a 1000-10000 times from only opening the forum home page .

Installation:

1 - Download the Server Side Script and Open the file "include.php" and edit the database details to match these of your forum config.php entries

2 - Upload all the PHP files in the "vbmsngr" directory in the root directory of your website "/public_html/" (You may need to create the "/public_html/vbmsngr" folder) .

3 - Tell your members and/or moderators about The Messenger Installation Pack which is the messenger desktop software
Every one who installs this software and have a membership in your forum can chat to each other .

To login to the messenger use your user name then the "@" sign then your forum URL . example : me@myforum.com , enter your password and you're in !!!
You can make a subdomain and add the Server Side Script in it , but then no one can login to the messenger unless they know the subdomain address .

Notes:
- Messenger accepts only usernames and passwords in english chars! ( other languages support coming soon! )
- There will not be any options of editing the [Sitename] Messenger / theme / skin / removing the @domain.com login method unless in custom versions , please refer to the website .

Remove post content: I posted before author updated his hack settings :)

you replied too fast , was updating the mod settings
its first time i post on vbulletin

anyway , thank you

mod Updated

WOW Wicked Sick! LOL Sorry about that! This looks awesome! Is there a chat log for admins? On my board due to age of members I must be able to see all chats in a log. Is that an option?

So rude.

No you dont understand it was before he had posted details! LOL Just bad timing so lets please move on and try this awesome looking mod!

there are currently no chat logs , because private messaging between members is thier privacy , for future versions there maybe a log for the public chat room , we just released this version to see what more it needs . and thank you for the comment .

And about support , we provide support for installation / uninstallation , usage or any other problems you may encounter with the messenger .

Does this mean that English Usernames aren't supported? *Confused*

no KuJoe , that means the messenger accepts only usernames and passwords in english , any other language is not supported yet . but chatting and communicating in any other language is OS dependable .

any idea on resource compare to a chat room ?
I mean for example does this hack use more resourse than flash chat ?
