[AJAX] vB Pager 3.0.4
Hack Version: 3.0.4
vB-version: 3.5.x
Developer: WwW.UAEWEB.CoM
Install-difficulty: Few minutes!
Introduction: vB Pager is a text-based instant messaging system over your community between members. Users can 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:
Uses AJAX Technology to Send pager messages / Get pager messages / Add & Remove a member to buddy list / Add & Remove a member from Ignore list. (No Refresh Required)
Main Features:
vB Pager Buddy List ?pop-up? window is used to keep track of the friends you wish to interact with. By going to your "vB Pager Buddies", you'll be able to see which of your friends are currently online and offline, and be able to send them a pager message. 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.
vB Pager Ignore List ?pop-up? window lists are used for those people who's messages you wish not recieve from.
Received Pager Messages are Draggable Inline Popups.
Sending a message opens up a small window where you can type in message to be sent.
Optional Anonymity: you can choose to hide your username when paging another user on the forum, & define which Usergroup can utilize this option.
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 ?Inbox/Sent Items? member has, can be viewed and deleted.
Download Stored Messages as XML, CSV, TXT.
Members can turn the vB Pager Off anytime they wish not to receive pager messages, and they can select the option to receive pager messages from those who are in their Pager Buddy List only.

Known Issues:
Permissions are not being inherited from secondary usergroups.
Maybe a bug, if there are around 2000 messages stored the pager system is not working more. After deleting them all now everything is fine.
From the database sturcture of the vbpager hack, that shoud not be a problem, but you might want to check with your host porvider where they might have a row limitation per tables!
Well Uae popped onto my system yesterday! Thank you kindly sir!
He found the footer was the issue. He moved his code to the top of the footer and everything worked out fine. Not sure why though as the only other code there was my google ad and that's been there since before the pager but hey, I don't care, it's working again.
HUGE PROPS to Uae for going that extra mile in support!
First of all, what a hack! I LOVE IT! I am even considering disabling the PM system, so people use only VBPager.
Anyway, I have a question. On my site, I have a Flash Banner being displayed and sometimes, when VBPager pops up with an incoming message, any part of the VBPager window that overlaps the banner, will be BEHIND the flash banner, and I cannot read the contents of the message.
And if the area where one clicks to drag the window, falls behind the flash banner, then I can't possibly move the window.
I'd love to be able to use this, but it don't like IE very well, and sometimes when people tried to type something in the messenger it auto-deleted them. I hope this get's updated soon to fix those problems though cause this is something i have wanted for awhile, but it's too buggy as it is.
i dont knowwhat i did wrong... in navbar it shows pagesr msgs unread 3 and total 3 but when i check the msgs it shows no msg to dispaly in popup.
Can you please help me which setting did i not configure properly?
Can somebody help me? or i asked a question which is too dumb?
Installed that great "product" and everything works fine. BUT: when i ban a userid, in this case is was "9606", NOBODY could send a pagermessage anymore. Can somebody confirm that bug ?
