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.

Is there a way to send a pager message to an entire usergroup?

[BarHopper]

In theory this is excellant. So, well done to you. But i just spent 1 hours and 30 minutes of my time, and there was quite a few errors.

[remlle]

these errors are probably mine but I have gone through the entire install a few times and still get the same issues.

1 when going to http://www.ratemylover.com/forum/online.php? trying to view who is online, I get the below error.

There seems to have been a slight problem with the Amateurchronicles.com database.

2 when the window opens it does not have the right demensions and some of the buttons are hidden.

[remlle]

to fix this I just used the code from the original online.php. in this section. I can not send messages to the guests but it works for members and thats all I really care about,. would stlll like to find out the sizing issue.
thanks

Got the same problem. Getting ready to disable the system...

Shame, because this is a great hack

[pf69.com]

does it work for 3.0.3?

[pf69.com]

this is what i am getting when I am trying to install it....
There seems to have been a slight problem with the xxxx and its content database.

[D|ver]

thanks for this hack, i am testing it out now

but the vbpager.gif images in the zip file is not working for me


hmm has anyone solved the problem with those popup killers?

maybe a small box like you get when you recieve private messages would solve this or not?

[D|ver]

i got it working now with the message popup
just add this code to your footer template instead of your existing one

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='WwW.UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='2.0.0' CHANGEID= 1 ] -->
<if condition="$pagermessage">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// script to show new pager message popup

	// Output when OK is clicked
	if (confirm("You have a new message. Open it?"))
	{

     function openPager()
      { 
 url = "$vboptions[bburl]/pager.php?action=pager&do=showpager&s=$session[dbsessionhash]";

PG = window.open(url,'pager','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,width=1,height=1');
       }

 openPager();

	}
	else
	{
	}
// end pager popup script
//-->
</script>
</if>
