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.

Ok, [Normal] vB Pager 2.0.0 has been updated with the table prefix thing, hope it would go smooth now.

Myself and nexialys will be following up with this, and will try to come up with a cleaned version the next few days.

Thanks Nexialys, and all of you guys.

any way to get the popup to be a DHTML poupup .....

that way we could avoid the popup killers .....

many members have popup killlers and when a member
sends another member a message that has one of these
there message never gets read leaving them to think
there message was ignored ....

maybe even have a switch in the user cp to switch from regular popups to DHTML poupup .... also to have a notice at the bottom or the messages telling there message may not be read if the other member has popups blocked....

dhtml is good, i have plan to use something like;

i hope to find the best dropin, because many browsers have trouble with them...

What is the difference between this and the "SMS System"?

Good point! many of our members are using popup killers. Maybe dhtml can deliver the messages.

Not much i guess. You can send a message to guests which is cool. The sms and this pager can work together without problems.

hope you find something soon.....

i'm reworking the tool by this week-end, to make a new release by monday... i think i will have that dhtml thing in it anyway...

for now, anybody is free to TRY this hack, but the next release will be built with a different structure for the template and lang files, so you'll be able to install a better version... no HTL, but the HTML version will be easier to understand, with less code changes... so for the ones that installed it, i hope you backed up !!!
