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.

just after the file edits i get this message:

 
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ']' in /home/bozzy/public_html/msg/includes/functions.php on line 1842

i used dreamweaver forgetting that it doesn't agree with functions.php

any ideas, i get this message when i visit any part of my forums

[Bolas]

check that line (1842) and find ']' char.
Maybe it's an error in a string... missing " or '...

Check the validity of the PHP in that line (also in previous and in next one).

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 !!!

what ever happened to the dhtml popup ?????

[Bolas]

I don't know, but I'm mixing pager 2.0 code with dhtml. For now user receive dhtml pager, but I'm working for the other features. If the hack will work and Pager author allow me, I will share it.

[mrboz]

the popup window is not big enough fo it's contents and the buttons are half hidden and sometimes completly hidden! - and there are no scrollbars

how do i make it so it fits? - see picture for example...

[D|ver]

i had the same problem. just increase the height of the popup by 20-50 px
