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.

Okay, I fixed this. I didn't have the script loaded into the proper template.

Can anybody assist in making this pager implement unlimited messaging...

Currently,

pager1 > pager2
pager2 > pager1 .... end of cycle.

I'd like this to continue forever.

The error apears randomly ONLY in Internet Explorer 6 in Windows XP.

Thanks, this is a great hack..

PD: I modified an instance of your hack, let's the user to send messages indefinidly, ej,

Actually:
user1 -> page -> user2
user2 -> page -> user1 (and here the chains cut)

My mod:
user1 -> page -> user2
user2 -> page -> user1
user1 -> page -> user2 (infinitly)
and i disabled.. the anonymous messages (let's set usergroups for anonymous and userids, not only userids) and disabled the check box thats allow reply.

greetz!

This is what I've been asking for. Somebody was able to modify the code and get it working for infinite replies but apparently their code is not posted yet or not being shared.
