vB Pager 2.0.4

vB Pager
Version: 2.0.5
vB-version: 3.0.6
Developer: WwW.UAEWEB.CoM
Install-difficulty: Easy


Okay, this is my first released hack here on vb.org, been using it in my private forum's with vB2 and finally, I've upgraded this hack for vB 3.0.1.


Introduction:
vB pager is a new refined & light paging system that enables authorized users to 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:

• You won't need to log on your CP to send a message, just click on the pager icon next to the name of the user you'd like to page! (See Screenshots)
• Switch the paging system on or off anytime you wish!
• Specify who gets to use the paging system by Usergroup, or even User IDs to send messages to your forum members.
• vB Pager users can send pager messages to members of the forum and/or non-registered guests from the WhoisOnline's page.
• Optional Anonymity: you can choose to hide your username when paging another user on the forum, & define which Usergroup or User IDs can utilize this option.
• Restrict the number of characters in each message: you can restrict the use of this paging system to short messages only by simply typing in the maximum number of characters that can be used. 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 member has, can be viewed and deleted.
• Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages (Deleted and Unread messages) for all members can be viewed and deleted through the Admin CP.

vB Pager 2.0.4 Updates:
- All popup windows are DHTML, so there should be no problem with popup killers.
- Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages (Deleted and Unread messages) for all members can be set to be Hard deleted, as a new option from vB Pager options in Admin CP.
- Many bug fixes.

vB Pager 2.0.5 Updates:
- Bug Fix: Getting blank messages from guest.

It is a great hack, i give you that!!! I see a few errros. I am not a good coder but the stripslashes() needs to be added so when someone puts a (example) it's or you're it comes back with it'\s or You\'re

plus you cannot click on URLs that are sent through this system,!

I think it is great man, not trying to make you mad at all! i have been wanting something like this for awhile

Thanks Mike

i corrected the it\'s (example)
in pager.php
around line number 238 find:

PHP Code:

$message    = addslashes(htmlspecialchars(trim($message))); 


add below:

PHP Code:

$message = stripslashes($message); 


and around line number 366 find:

PHP Code:

$message    = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($message)); 


add below:

PHP Code:

$message = stripslashes($message); 


hope that helps.

now just need to find out how to incorporate BBcode for [url]

Sure you described that correctly? I'd rather have I'd than I\'d.

a lot of my members on my board have started getting errors in IE while using this hack.....when i get the error again , il post up the details.

[msimonds]

i have yet to see any errors on this except for the \ error which is now corrected!

Also let me see if i get this straight. when someone sends a message to another member, the other member can reply, but that is it. you cannot send more than one message each!!!

If so, and I am correct, is there a way to change this

well ive been back to the thread as it was in beta section, and theres quite a few ppl in there complaining of the same error...eg.....IE shutting down.

it seems to happen when members are recieving pages, not sending them.

all the members using IE so far on my board are reporting the same error.

windows pops up with the dreaded"internet explorer has encountered an error, and is closing down"..or whatever it is.

after disabling the hack in the admin cp, the board works fine.

as i said before, its all over the posts while it was in beta section, is there any idea as to what it might be???

i think it was displaying an error with "mshtm.dll" or something.

[docvader]

I haven't had problems with IE shutting down, but,some people are getting the persistent pager box still (can't close a pager box). For some reason, the same individuals are getting this error; not sure if something is amiss in the database for these people. But otherwise, it seems to be working well for us.

ive just isntalled and have already had problems with IE Shuttign Down
i hope someone can figure out this problem as this is a nice hack
