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.

One user was saying that she could not close one of her messages. I deleted this message, and she got the same message. Her messages were not showing up as read either.

This never occurred on my test forum I created to test for bugs. I then managed to narrow it down to her being 'invisible'. I think that may have something to do with it?

I've been having this "persistent pager box" problem, from the beginning. Not sure how to get rid of it, not sure what causes it. For some reason, I as admin, can shut off the boxes, but my users can't. Which means, I log in as them, shut their boxes off, and let them go their merry ways.

It's an awesome hack. But this issue needs to be resolved. I shut mine off, waiting for the answer.

I've noticed that this can happen if you're not using the Default vB template, or are using some of the other templates out there. Not ALL of them mind you.

UAE, I think most of us are having users report the 'persistant pager box'. I have around 2 users who report such a bug to me, and I really have no clue what's causing it, nor how to replicate it. It's not happening to everybody. When I delete the message from the AdminCP they end up receiving the next message which also continues to pop up.

I have added a new template to my forum. I currently have this modification added, but it will not allow me to run the install file again to update my templates. How can I update the appropriate template to work with vBPager?
