This modification thread will not be upgraded, since it is possible that some users may prefer v4.
Compatible with 3.6.x and 3.5.x
vBStatus allows your users to update their status to tell other members what they are doing/thinking at any given time. A user's status is displayed under their names in their postbit, in their User Profile, and anywhere else you choose!
User's can edit their status quickly and easily via AJAX.
Administrative options include:
Banning a list of usergroups from using the hack.
Allowing a list of usergroups to change other users' status.
Limit the # of characters used in Status Messages
Word wrap status messages to prevent broken templates.
Turning the hack on/off.
Option of In-Line editting or a popup. (Defined in the admincp)
Default status for users with a blank status. (Defined in the admincp)
Status prefix to append an admin-customizable forum standard. (Attilitus is doing something)
There are 3 template edits for this hack. The installation readme file will guide you through the entire process. Update 2.0:
Please reinstall the product xml file, and re-edit your templates following the new instructions in the readme file. This is to correct a small cosmetic bug that displays non-functional links to guests and non-admins.
Update 3.0:
A number of bugs were fixed, and a few new admin options were added. Please uninstall the previous product and reinstall this one. Please re-edit your templates and reupload all files. Sorry for the inconvenience (but at least we are getting this handled in the first 12 hours of release.)
Update 4.0:
This is a fairly comprehensive update. You must remove all previous template edits and add the new template code. You must also "Allow Overwrite" when importing the new product. The DB structure hasn't changed.
New features include:
In-Line Editting (This is on by default, but you can return to the previous popup style by changing an option in the admincp)
Default Status: If a user doesn't have any status message it will be set to a default status which you can define in the admincp
Visual improvements: Various small visual improvements were made, including a change in the location of the small "edit" link.
Update 4.01
I added status prefixes. If your updating from version 4 just reimport the product (with overwrite set to yes), and reupload all the files. No template edits necessary when upgrading from v4 to v4.01. (And I'm not going to change the file version because this update came so quickly on the heals of v4.)
When I installed this wonderful mod, it worked great. But now today, one of my mods told me that it doesn't work for her so I tried it out again and now it doesn't work for me. When you edit it, it is fine but then when you go the "save" it you get this messege.

I am having a problem, great feature, but my problem is, I can't change the status. I click the edit button and nothing happens.
Please help!
Thank you.
Make sure that you set the permissions for the vbstatus folder so that it is web-accessible. There is javascript in that folder which is loaded by the browser in that folder, and if it can't be assessed then the javascript won't work. Chmod the vbstatus folder to 777 to see if that is the problem.

There is no "save" link/button. If you are using in-line editting you click edit, change the status, then click edit again. If you are using the popup you click edit, edit the status in the popup, and click the "Edit" link within the popup.
If it worked before it ought to still work, unless something changed. My guess is that nothing changed but you/your mods forgot which button to click.

OK the reason why I shouldn't try to figure things out when I an tired. My brain stops working and others have to think for me!
It works. I forgot to click edit again. I am use to the facebook one where you can just click somewhere else on the page or hit enter and have it save.
Daft question - i have tried with inline and the pop up - after typing in the inline box how do you actually send the text so it shows I'd have thought Enter but it doesn't work, also in the pop up it only has a Cancel bit ? What am I missing ?
