Mini Mods - vB Screensaver

Maybe unusefull ... but funny.

What does it do.
This Mod will check the Users inactivity and after ... Seconds a Screensaver will start.
To retrun to the previews Page, simply click into the Screensaver Window.

Options:
After install, simply set the Userrights in each Usergroup to allow the Screensaver (Guests won't work - see Note).
Then under "vbulletin Options" serach for the Screensaver and set it to ON.
(I used 300 Seconds and the Standard Session-Timeout is 900).

Tested:
Tested under IE, Opera, Mozilla3 and Safari. I think WIO (Who is Online) doesn't work with the Standard Setting and what happend with a PopUP ??? Try it - don't know.

History:
v1.2
Tested and fixed the "Guest" Bug.
Better Location gets (*sorry* - what should I say ?)

v1.1
Added a "scriptchecker". You can now disable the Screensaver on some scripts.

v1.0
Works stable

Note:
I didn't test Guests, so I disabled them into the Plugin.
If you want to change it, simply modify the Product.
Search for:

PHP Code:

if (($permissions['screenspermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_screenspermissions['canusescreensaver']) AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['screensaver_onoff'] AND $screens_go) 


And change into:

PHP Code:

if (($permissions['screenspermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_screenspermissions['canusescreensaver']) AND $vbulletin->options['screensaver_onoff'] AND $screens_go) 


Screensaver and Product:
There are only 2 Templates. The 1st one extends the Headinclude. And the 2nd is the Screensaver. I'll wrote a little Javascript to set a TABLE on the whole Screen (1st I get the Width and Height of the Screen). The actually Time will shown in the Window on random Places. So, feel free to modify the Template as you like.

P.S. deutschen Support gibt es auch bei your-vb

This is a great idea!
Imagine putting rotating pictures "Logos" of your sponsors!

That would be awesome!

pretty cool hack, I don't think I'll add it, but it's an idea we hadn't seen before

Another idea would be to display the time within a vBulletin class="tborder" table, so that it keeps the look & feel of the forums, along with the message "move your mouse or click to return to the forums".
