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.

You may install v2.0.5 fresh

Would be nice

This hack works great, I love it. But yes it does cause a page fault in IE, and other browsers. I use "AM browser" and it crashes too.

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!

Did a search in the instructions and template changes and still can't find where to edit this. :ermm:

Has anybody gotten this to work on 3.0.7? I installed it and I have the icons and everything and changed the settings to allow admins and mods to send and put in there user ids into the settings, but it still wont work. It pops up with the pager popup box, and I can click send and it looks like it send, but the users never get the pages. I have double checked all my template edits and file edits and have reuploaded all the edited files and it does the same thing. Can anybody confirm to have gotten this to work on 3.0.7? Perhaps this hack is buggy and doesn't work for anybody?

Im using 3.0.8 and it works, so I don't see why it wont work for 3.0.7 The Its works very fast, pops up as soon as they refresh there window. I just get the IE page fault and IE closes. the page fault doesn't happen everytime but is annoying.
