2- Again, you can user your own icon, it's vbpager_icon.gif.
3- I did not want people editing a lot of their fourm's templates, since vb pager has it's own popup window with all online members.
but if you want to have it, I can provide you with the template edit for that.

Ok here is what I did:

I took the vbpager_user_buddylist_online.gif from the statusicon folder, copied it, renamed it to vbpager_icon.gif then I uploaded it to the /images/statusicon folder on my server and overwrote the original vbpager_icon.gif.

As for editing the postbit template to make the vbpager_icon.gif icon more visible here is what I did:

in the postbit / postbit_legacy template Find:

<if condition="$show['reputation']"><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: $post[reppower] </if><div>$post[reputationdisplay]</div></if>
					<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>

Below that Add:

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.0' CHANGEID= 6 ] -->
			<if condition="$vboptions['vbpager_active'] AND $bbuserinfo[userid]">
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('pager.php?do=buddylist&amp;puserid=$post[userid]','pagerbuddylist','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=$vboptions[vbpager_width],height=$vboptions[vbpager_height]'); return false;"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/vbpager_icon.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[pager_send_pager_message_to_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a> Send $post[musername] an instant message</if>
<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.0' CHANGEID= 6 ] -->

i think the error comes up with the html markup set for usergroups. the code interferes with each other. correct me if im wrong.

so how can we keep the color in the usergroup mark up and use the whosonline hack for the pager?? i hope its possible.

and thanks solby for all your help! you are the man!

I beg to differ. It may be the goal of chats to offer group based chat, but with the exception of a couple of hacks (1 beta), there is little VB integretion with IRC. Besides IRC offers more than what most need.

If this supported chatting to groups of people at the same time, it would be much more useful, 1vs1 chat isn't really that much use, you might as well use PMs really...

That said, this is a very good looking hack and shows good promise. Just get cracking on adding group support
