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.

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

I would love to install this modification on my forum. Would it be possible for anyone to create an update for this?

Use this and disable moods if you only want to use status. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243754

do not know how to install that program so it works like this ..
someone can tell me how I do it?

Thank you.

Your instructions are VERY confusing and unclear. I'd like this mod, and I followed your instructions as best I could. I uploaded the contents of "Upload" to the forum, and then I added the product. It is not working. I dunno what to do. >.<

What would be great is if status rotated in small line box oh forum home, say under the navbar.

So status updated in last x min show or something.

It appears as though this mod causes the CKeditor to not allow users to switch to "Source Mode" it makes the screen grey out. Any ideas?

[rajcolmo]

Thought it was working then found it does grey out the CKeditor box. Too bad... looks great!!!

[onealien]

looks dope...
installed and working great!
thanks

I have at least found the piece of code in Mootools that causes the conflict.
However I have no idea how to remedy this.

In mootools.js there is this function:

(function(){

	var nativex = {'Array': Array, 'Date': Date, 'Function': Function, 'Number': Number, 'RegExp': RegExp, 'String': String};
	for (var n in natives) new Native({name: n, initialize: natives[n], protect: true});

	var types = {'boolean': Boolean, 'native': Native, 'object': Object};
	for (var t in types) Native.typize(types[t], t);

	var generics = {
		'Array': ["concat", "indexOf", "join", "lastIndexOf", "pop", "push", "reverse", "shift", "slice", "sort", "splice", "toString", "unshift", "valueOf"],
		'String': ["charAt", "charCodeAt", "concat", "indexOf", "lastIndexOf", "match", "replace", "search", "slice", "split", "substr", "substring", "toLowerCase", "toUpperCase", "valueOf"]
	};
	for (var g in generics){
		for (var i = generics[g].length; i--;) Native.genericize(natives[g], generics[g][i], true);
	}
})();

With that function in place, I can make the status editing work, but CKEditor is broken.

Now, you will find that if you REMOVE the second line of this function:

for (var n in natives) new Native({name: n, initialize: natives[n], protect: true});

It goes the other way round...the status editor is broken, but CKEditor works.

Sadly I haven't faintest notion how to resolve this, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know
