yay got it working anyway how do I make it so that a users avatar, or no avatar shows up in place of the vb pager graphic ?

Its the administration page that you are accessing, the vbpager administration page. The query that you are trying to execute (changes that you are trying to make) are trying to modify the following rows

`title` = 'Administrators',
`description` = '',
`usertitle` = 'Administrator',
`opentag` = '',
`closetag` = '',
`passwordexpires` = '1000',
`passwordhistory` = '0',
`forumpermissions` = '1048575',
`genericpermissions` = '205520831',
`attachlimit` = '0',
`pmquota` = '100',
`pmpermissions` = '3',
`pmsendmax` = '5',
`calendarpermissions` = '63',
`wolpermissions` = '31',
`adminpermissions` = '3',
`genericoptions` = '31',
`profilepicmaxwidth` = '120',
`profilepicmaxheight` = '120',
`profilepicmaxsize` = '65535',
`avatarmaxwidth` = '120',
`avatarmaxheight` = '120',
`avatarmaxsize` = '30000',
`profileviewpermissions` = '0',
`pagerpermissions` = '1',
`pagerquota` = '0',
`pagerminpost` = '0',
`pagerminpostperday` = '0',
`pagermaxperday` = '0',
`pagersendmax` = '0',
`pagersendmaxchar` = '300'
WHERE usergroupid=6;

in your vb_usergroup table

the rows that vbpager requires are

`profileviewpermissions` = '0',
`pagerpermissions` = '1',
`pagerquota` = '0',
`pagerminpost` = '0',
`pagerminpostperday` = '0',
`pagermaxperday` = '0',
`pagersendmax` = '0',
`pagersendmaxchar` = '300'
WHERE usergroupid=6;

You are getting the error for `profileviewpermissions` as it is the first one in the list. You can try contacting the module developer and ask him if there is any .sql file that can be used to create the necessary entries. If not, you can ask him if you can provide you with the SQL commands that have to be executed.

Ok, this is the message that my host has given me. Can anyone help me on this issue? What .sql files is he talking about? Can someone provide me with the SQL commands that I need to have it executed? Please, can someone please help?

I think your problem has been solved.

That will need a new a lot of time, maybe a new class file or something and knowing exactly the hacks you're talking about!

Thank you!

As I said befor, you can always set the number of maximum stored messages from the usergroup permissions, which should force users to delete old stored messages.

The hack works fine and everyone loves the Pager, but many are having trouble with it logging them completely out, including me. It's not a problem for me, but some members have kids and they don't want them to "stumble in" by accident.

Try to uninstall the pager hack, revert the edited templates, then see if the problem is still there, then reinstall the hack, I think it has something to do with template edits, and I don't think it is the pager hack, but try that first and see.

Make sure that you uploaded all the files to the correct places.

Everything is set correctly

Are you sure you have set the usergroup permissions for the pager?

from the looks of things in this thread, there's a lot of fires to put out. so no rush on my issue. i'll just keep an eye on this thread and contact you again when it doesn't look so crowded in here.

Get me a user account to your forum and PM it to me.

For all who thinks vB Pager's increasing their server loads, I'll be releasing an updated version (3.0.2) where an Admin will be able to disable/enable the display of the avatar images, which should cut one query if Avatar was disabled.

Ok when I send a message I then go into my pager messages and it says I have sent a message,I click on it and nothing shows up,plus no one can even reveive them-all user groups have been set correctly.

My apologies if this has already been mentioned-this is a long thread

All sent messages should be under the sent items, so look in the sent items, not your inbox!
