Introduction:
vB Pager is a text-based instant messaging system over your community between members. Users can exchange short & quick messages amongst each other.

Adding people to your buddy list also allow you to send pager messages to multiple forum members at the same time. You may add any member of the forums to your buddy list by clicking the icon next to their names in the vB Pager Online Members Page or Clicking the Manage Buddies Link to add/remove members into your list.

  • Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages ?Inbox/Sent Items? member has, can be viewed and deleted.

It works but i'm having some problems. It causes my IE browser to freeze up and also I will sometimes only get about half the popup window display.

What can be wrong?

Thnx for your help.

I found the mistake!

The mistake was that into the group settings ist standing by default:

Maximum Characters Per Pager Message = 0

It must be set to >0 and then it works.

So maybe the install instruction has to be updated (would be helpfull for many users!)

Because I also read into a german VB forum that also other users have the same problem.

Want to fix those "no reply button" issues when you get a pager pop-up?

I was confused for a while why I could not reply but only close a pop-up well here is a quick fix.

Step 1. In Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > vBPager Templates > pager_newpager

Find This Code:

<if condition="!$pagerinfo[canreply]">
	<form method="GET">
			<center>
	<input type="button" class="button" onclick="Close_Pager('action=pager&amp;do=pagerreply&amp;rid=$pagerinfo[receiptid]&amp;touid=$pagerinfo[fromuserid]');closepager('PLAYER');" value="$vbphrase[pager_close]">
			</center>
	</form>
</if>
<if condition="$pagerinfo[canreply]">
	<form method="GET" action="$vboptions[vbpager_forum_dir_name]pager.php" name="frmpager" onsubmit="return SubmitForm(this, this.rid.value);">
	<input type="hidden" name="rid" value="$pagerinfo[receiptid]">
	<input type="hidden" name="touid" value="$pagerinfo[fromuserid]">
			<fieldset class="fieldset">
		<legend>$vbphrase[pager_reply_message]</legend>
	<if condition="$pagererror">
		<div class="page" style="border:thin inset; padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;<if condition="!is_browser('konqueror')"> height:50px; overflow:auto</if>">
			<if condition="$pagererror[pagercanuse]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>$vbphrase[pager_no_usergroup_permissions]<br /></if>
			<if condition="$pagererror[banuser]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>$vbphrase[pager_no_usergroup_permissions]<br /></if>
			<if condition="$pagererror[pagermaxperday]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font><phrase 1="$pagerinfo[pagermaxperday]" 2="0">$vbphrase[pager_sent_x_left_y]</phrase><br /></if>
			<if condition="$pagererror[pagerquota]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>
<phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[pager_message_qouta_reached]</phrase><br /></if>

Replace With:

<if condition="$pagerinfo[canreply]">
	<form method="GET">
			<center>
	<input type="button" class="button" onclick="Close_Pager('action=pager&amp;do=pagerreply&amp;rid=$pagerinfo[receiptid]&amp;touid=$pagerinfo[fromuserid]');closepager('PLAYER');" value="$vbphrase[pager_close]">
			</center>
	</form>
</if>
<if condition="!$pagerinfo[canreply]">
	<form method="GET" action="$vboptions[vbpager_forum_dir_name]pager.php" name="frmpager" onsubmit="return SubmitForm(this, this.rid.value);">
	<input type="hidden" name="rid" value="$pagerinfo[receiptid]">
	<input type="hidden" name="touid" value="$pagerinfo[fromuserid]">
			<fieldset class="fieldset">
		<legend>$vbphrase[pager_reply_message]</legend>
	<if condition="$pagererror">
		<div class="page" style="border:thin inset; padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;<if condition="!is_browser('konqueror')"> height:50px; overflow:auto</if>">
			<if condition="$pagererror[pagercanuse]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>$vbphrase[pager_no_usergroup_permissions]<br /></if>
			<if condition="$pagererror[banuser]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>$vbphrase[pager_no_usergroup_permissions]<br /></if>
			<if condition="$pagererror[pagermaxperday]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font><phrase 1="$pagerinfo[pagermaxperday]" 2="0">$vbphrase[pager_sent_x_left_y]</phrase><br /></if>
			<if condition="$pagererror[pagerquota]"><font class="highlight">$vbphrase[pager_error] </font>
<phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[pager_message_qouta_reached]</phrase><br /></if>

That fixed my issues, if it doesn't fix yours let me know and maybe I can help but remember I am no PHP coder, just another newbie like the rest. :banana:

I had this hack installed but had to remove it like most of everyone else had to due to high CPU spikes. Is this issue ever going to get resolved? Such a nice hack but the attention to fix the most criticle problem is being overlooked

I get no extra server loads from this script, I suppose depending on the server company and how much they overcrowd their servers it could have issues, but that is not the plugins fault. At least IMO.

I dont agree with your comment. There are many many people here that installed this hack that have had this happen. There is something withing this script that hammers at the CPU and no one know what yet, I have two vb sites on two different servers and different ISP and both sites running this hack caused the same issue. THe script workd nice but had to disable it until the CPU issues get resolved.
