Profile Enhancements - vBStatus - Facebook Style Status Display (v4)

vBStatus has been released for vB 4.x.x

vBStatus v5 for vB 3.8 has been released.

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.)


Please do not forget to click INSTALL

LOL - Are you kidding? It hasn't worked for a lot since it was 1st posted.
Unfortunately a waste really, as the premise is wonderful - the author apparently lied when the "Supported" formfield was checked in the affirmative.

This Hack Works Fine...

Jacquii, you should be able to get this hack working with the help of ShadowOne. He has been supporting this hack, even though it is not his hack.

[trilljester]

I'm having no issues with this hack, other than I'd love it to do editing inline instead of popping up a box.

Explain what problems you're having with the hack, Jacquii and we can help, I'm sure!

Well - I must admit - I was only a little enibriated when I posted my last comment LOL
But so many in this thread (myself included) have reported issues with the Edit button not working when clicked. So the modification doesn't "work fine" --- Basically I've given up on trying to get the modification to work because the Author has done absolutely nothing to support it.

Thanx YAWL for the offer of help - Perhaps when I'm a bit less jaded I will consider :P

Jacquii.

[trilljester]

True about that Jacquii. I think I might rework a mod a bit like this but make it more Facebook-like, which is what I was requesting. I think the way the status is displayed is a bit goofy as well. I'll look into it when I get some free time.

[PoetJA-1975]

That would be so kewl! I'll look forward to the share no doubt!

Jacquii.

Hi ... this is really simple and good hack :up: I just try it, but I have a problem because when I'm writing status update in cyrillic, after i click edit, below my username there are some strange characters showing up Does it means that this hack has no cyrillis support ?

[RedTrinity]

Installed and running flawlessly, our members are loving it!!!

Thanks Attilitus

What code will i need to place if i wanted my members to be able to edit their status on all pages? I want to place the code in the header template.

Edit:
So far, I have made it so the status of the member displays. However, whenever a member clicks the "Edit" hyperlink, nothing happens. What do i need to change this code into, so members can edit their status from the header.

		<if condition="$vbulletin->options['vbstatus_inline']">
			<a href="javascript:Att_AjaxDiv('inline=1&userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]&postid=$bbuserinfo[userid]','vbstatus/vbstatus_ajax.php','vbstatus_$bbuserinfo[userid]')">Edit</a>

		<else />
			<a href="javascript:Att_Ajax('userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]&postid=$bbuserinfo[userid]','vbstatus/vbstatus_ajax.php')">Edit</a>
		</if>

EDIT:::::

Fixed! All sorted
