BB| Messenger 1.5 · **Released**: 07-08-2004

Please press install if you install this hack

Support Can Not Be Given For This Hack

BB|Messenger is a user to user messenger system for vb3 that runs off your user database.

This hack as been made for my own forums and has not been tested on any other forums, so its very likely that errors might be found on other system set up's.

To Install:

upload all the files in the same way that they are in side the zip.

once all files are upload load the page http://www.yourdomain.com/bbmessenger/
note that the address before bbmessenger/ will be the path to the folder on your site.

Follow the install page and your all done.

The only other thing that needs doing is the editing of the address's in the marquee.php file that you upload to your forums root.

Find:

PHP Code:


			
 echo "<tr>\n";

    echo "<td width=\"$marquee_width\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px inset #000000; background-color: #4C6CA4\" onMouseover=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#607DAE';\" onMouseOut=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#4C6CA4';\">\n";

    echo "<font size=1 face=\"Verdana, Arial, sans-serif, Helvetica, Times\">\n";

    echo "<b><a href=\"http://community.ultimate-music.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=" . $latestthread['threadid'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['title'] . "</a></b><br>\n";

    echo "Started by: <a href=\"http://community.ultimate-music.net/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&username=" . $latestthread['postusername'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['postusername'] . "</a><br>\n";

    echo "Last Post by: <a href=\"http://community.ultimate-music.net/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&username=" . $latestthread['lastposter'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['lastposter'] . "</a><br>\n";

    echo $numreplies;

    echo "\n</font>\n";

    echo "</td>\n</tr>\n\n";

and edit it to meet your own needs.

User linking to the messenger

put a link anywhere you like on your forums linking to /bbmessenger/index.php

How To's

To edit the colours edit the css in the files in the style folder.

Support

Can not be given via my self due to work load please do not e-mail or pm asking for help in anyway because the reply will more and likely be no, this does not stop user's from helping each other with probs in this topic and if a fix or addon is made i will update the zip with it up on the asking of doing so.

Fix's

1) check your vBulletin cookies Prefix in vb's config file is set to bb like below:

// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = 'bb';

if not set it to the above, if setting it to the above gives you errors with other hacks follow the steps on page 3 for editing messengers cookie call's.

this fix's the login error.

2) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=164 Zip will get updated when next version is out.

If i do that ill have to wait two weeks to install. The reason for that is i am only a co-admin, i dont have access to the root folder, i have access to a sub folder. I guess ill just have to wait

yep because installing in a user sub folder would not be a very good idea due to how call's to other files are made. anyway in a few weeks i might even have the new look posted up if i get time to do the chat window.

I must be missing something but the only install file I see is install.css ?????

where is the install file??

I have it..it's the index file

Romeos Tune · #98 07-11-2004, 03:55 AM

I'm having the same error as MissKalunji and running 3.01 VB..... Everything works except the latest news..... Actually, here is my exact error:

mysql error: Table 'vb.thread' doesn't exist

My table prefix is vb3 so where can I go to change this in the program?

I have installed the BB Messenger and it works fine.
I must say that I have never seen an addon like this before. It really is amazing!

I would suggest that C.Birch continue to make it better than it is now and lets see how far this thing can fly.

Here are a few suggested addons:

1.Ability to add users to your buddylist directly from the messenger by their username.
2.The ability to accept or reject users wanting to be added to your buddylist.
3.The ability to block and remove users on your list.
4.Users' avatar displays when you are chatting with them one on one.
5.I have HiveMail installed on my site. Can I get a notification in BB Messenger when a new email arrives?

6.I have V3Arcade installed in my forum. Can I challenge and play games with my buddys in BB Messenger?
7.Add a radio stream of your choice to BB Messenger.
8.Webcam and Audio.
9.Send files and photos.
10.Send links.

Really all I am suggesting are the typical features you would find in messengers like MSN and Yahoo. I am sure that if we put our minds together we can come up with new ideas that those guys never thought of.

If the BB Messenger got this far then why not?

Romeos Tune · #**100** 07-11-2004, 05:44 AM

I'll just be happy when I figure out where to put my database prefix.... lol And it's a must to only allow it to certain usergroups....

Great hack, thanks for sharing.

I have one little problem with it tho. When I click on the link for the java I don't get any chat window. How does the chat window work? What makes the chat window pop up? Does another person need to have the java open to be able to call to them to chat with? Sorry if I sound dumb on this.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
