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.

Does this work with vb4 4.2 version?

EDIT: Also, how can I make status updates appear in a forum block on the side? Like showing a list of users with their status...

Would appreciate any assitance with this.

Thanks

Sorry for double post. I installed this plugin on 4.2... and it pretty much disabled posting on the forum. No one could post, except for me. So.. i had to uninstall it to reenable posting.

I've got this working on 4.2, if I remember correctly you've got to make a few changes as it doesn't 'working out of the box' as there is a conflict with the CKEditor - if you check back through the thread you should see some changes that are required to work with 4.2

Can a dev/coder update this modification so it works with vb 4.2.1? It is a mini mod but it is a great one.

[ozzy47]

It is not marked as reusable code, so someone could update it for you, but it would only be of use to you.

Best place to ask may be here in the paid requests section, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=30

[unit12stealth]

Anyone know where I can get the code to have a forum block of status updates?

Would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks
