Profile Enhancements - vBStatus - Facebook Style Status Updates (v5)

Compatible with 4.x.x

vBStatus allows your users to update their status to tell other members what they are doing/thinking at any given time. A user's status is displayed under their names in their postbit, in their User Profile, and anywhere else you choose!

User's can edit their status quickly and easily via AJAX.

Features and Configuration options include:

• Admin Option: Turn modification on/off
• Admin Option: Ban usergroups from updating their status.
• Admin Option: Set a max character count for status messages.
• Admin Option: Set the number of characters of a status message displayed per line. (Word wrapping will occur for status messages longer than this defined value.)
• Admin Option: Define a standard status prefix to be appended to the start of all status messages after the username. (i.e. Attilitus is doing something.)
• Admin Option: Define a default status for users with a blank status.
• Admin Option: Define the character set used for encoding status messages. (The default value of this option should work for most character sets.)

• Feature: Status messages may be updated in-line.
• Feature: All languages and character sets are supported. (Most, if not all, should work with the default encoding option. Others may require some configuration in the admin options.)
• Feature: Users may press the Enter key to confirm their status update.
• Temporarily Deactivated in v5: Admin Option: Allow defined usergroups to modify other user's status updates. (For moderation purposes)

There are 4 template edits for this hack. The installation readme file will guide you through the entire process.

Version 5.1

• Support for non-english characters has been added.
• A small modification was made to the installation script to make it more robust.

Upgrade Instructions: Reupload all files (allow overwrite), and reimport the product (allow overwrite). No additional template edits are required to for the upgrade.


Version 5.2

• Users may press the Enter key to submit their status.

Upgrade Instructions: Reupload all files (allow overwrite). No additional template edits are required for this upgrade. You may reimport the included product, if you desire, to update the version number to 5.2

Version 5.2.1

• Extra white space will no longer appear in the status update input field.

Version 5.3

• Important security update to fix a cross site scripting exploit.

Upgrade Instructions: Reupload all files in the upload folder to your forum root, and allow overwrite. It is not necessary to re-import the product xml file.


Note: The files available in this thread will always be for the most recent version of the modification.

If you previously used vBStatus in vB 3.x your member's old status messages will be preserved.

I change the Character Encoding to windows-1256 or utf-8

but when i reloaded the page the word will appear ??

That caused by your language encoding. it must be utf-8, otherwise, it will be messy all the times.

if you have Arabic pack with utf-8 encoding then it should work fine, but you still need to add utf-8 to the mod setting

yes, that's right. There are 18 items of $( so you can do that using notepad++

if you are new to this, then here is the file with changes made.

make sure that the script is linked to where it has to be shown.

most of the times it is this issue...

also check your settings in your admin cp and save it...

try it out again and see...

you have vb4.x.x, right?

ok, can you use the inspection tool in the browser i.e. if FF then you need to download firebug as an add-on then right click/ inspect element with firebug

you need to reload the page to see what's happening..

if you can't understand that, then send me a PM with temp user and pass so I can look at it inside your forum.

I guess the issue is not that hard to resolve

[fxdigi-cash]

I just found out that your site is on your signature. I looked at it using firebug and found many issues lead to
Internal Server Error

you need to fix these issues. do you have your javascripts on subdomain or something??

if yes, then you need to reconfigure that one because it is misconfigured...

This is a major update for this mod since no one has updated for long time!!

I had to re-modify the error and syntax issues to make it work on vb4.2.x

to install it, upload the files in the upload folder and then install the product .xml

if you had previous versions, either delete them or overwrite them.

enjoy the great mod!!

Edit: if you have vb.4.2.2, it may not work as the box editor is not compatible with this mod. That issue is fixed in vb4.2.2 pl1 so please install the latest version of vb4 ==> vb4.2.2 pl1

Update #2: I apologize for not paying attention to arranging the files correctly. I re-uploaded the files the right order so you have no issues or conflicts when uploading. Tested on the latest versions.
