vB Assistant Details »»

|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Name: vB Assistant
Version: 1.1 templates to edit: 1 - 2 Description: vB Assistant is like a mini cpanel for your members, it small yet contains lots of information. It will help you get to things much faster in a organized fashion. It will tell you all you need to know about your private messages, How many you have, how many in total, and show you the newest one in detail. It will show you the name of the person that sent it, the link directly to the PM (no hassle with going to inBox first), When you get a new PM within 24 hours It'll let you know with a flashing image and a "Received Today!" caption. After the message ages (24 hours has past) it'll show the date instead. vB Assistant uses all your current forum settings, from date format, to forum title name. vB Assistant will also let you know when a thread you started has a new reply which you haven't read. You will see a "View Replies" when someone posts in your thread. It will also tell you who the poster is, without even visiting the thread!  It checks when was your last visit and determines if you read it or not. It wasn't easy since there isn't a "message unread" column in the database, so i managed to use the last login time.vB Assistant has a mini quick search box, just type and hit enter. When a user is not registered and he/she views vB Assistant, it will let them know what feature they have access to, and also tell them to register to get access to those features. (PM, cpanel links, etc...). The buddie list is also available, clicking the username takes you to the PM window, clicking the red X will remove the buddie. Each section in vB Assistant has a expandable/collapsible switch, If you do not want to see a part of it just click and it folds away with cool javascript affect By having expandable/collapsible sections vB Assistant becomes even more compact and organized. vB Assistant will also refresh every two minutes by default, it can be changed if wanted. I see vB Assistant as a mini messenger that you can keep open (since it's small) while you browse the 'net  There is also a mini statistics section that will show you some information about how many registered members, users online, total post, etc... Plus it will keep track of how many posts were made in the last 24 hrs. Anyway, you get the idea. Installation: Very easy: Instructions are attached. couple variables to edit, couple templates and your done. Other information: I wasn't going to release this yet, because i wanted to add more features, and remove anything that i later find unnecessary, But I am releasing in hope that i can get some ideas from you people on improving it. If you find any bugs let me know and i will fix them. I have tested it many times. And have been using it for a couple days. It should work with vbulletin version 2.x.x. I've tested it on 2.2.9 and 2.3.0 Please lick install if you find this useful  Updates: March 30th: New version 1.1 Released. Changes: - Added: a PM Meter, shows percentage of how full inBox is - Added: a preview of the private message, will show 75 characters of the message., - Added: 5 new images, for Meter. - Fixed: PM Meter disappears when you have 1 new message to make space for the PM preview, Meter returns once the PM is read. April 1st: - Fixed bug: PM would show 1% full inBox when you had no PM's, now shows 0% when you have no messages in inBox ---------------------------------------------------------------- To upgrade simply re-upload assistant.php and overwrite. Edit new configuration settings. Clear browser cache first to download the update. Show Your Support

I got red 'X's when I used "forums/images" as the $images directory path. The path came out as domainname.net/forums/forums/images. It was OK when I changed it to just "images".

Wow, i really like this.
If you have actrive desktop turned on, you can actauly have this window always open on your desk top. I find it really useful.

Let me start by saying the following observation is not Sebastian's fault, but part of the deal: when you have the vbAssistant as a Windows toolbar or as an Active Desktop element... you (or your users) always show up as online!
Is there's a fix for this? Probably a automatic logout after xx seconds (to be defined by the admin)? - djr

If you have the forum installed in the root directory of the site (ie: not in a directory called 'forums'), what exactly should this line be in assistant.php:
$forumdir = "???"; // name of your forum directory When I put nothing or a / only, the links inside the popup would go to the file, as in http://search.php (without the URL) and would obviously be blank and not resolve. Edit: (Version 2.2.9)

@Pollo: you still have to put the name of the forum directory in $forumdir. If your forums directory is called "forums" then leave it as default, cause it's for linking to private messages, cpanel, etc.. I do suggest you use vB Assistant in you forum directory though.

Sebastian, well my question was that my forum isn't in a directory (per se, of course it is in a directory, just the web site's home one). In other words, my forum is the site, the site the forum ie: http://domain.com
I solved it by removing: $forumdir = "???"; // name of your forum directory -and removing any mention of $forumdir anywhere. Everything works now, and I'm sure members will really groove on it, DANKE!
