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.

I had to disable this as I was getting the IE crash.. It was the same DLL that was listed here.

Bad thing is, some users didn't know how to get past the error, as they would lose their IE as soon as they hit the forum.

Nice hack. We've been using it for the admins to quickly communicate with each other when no messanger program is available. Just one thing bothers me from a webdesigner's point of view.

It looks fugly in Mozilla Firefox (no round corners, no scroll bar from the get go) compared to Internet Explorer (normally its the other way around aranoid: ). Is there a proper stylesheet for this or a fix that it looks the same in Firefox (or a bit more decent), cause its very annoying.



If it is not possible to get it to be the same, could someone please hardcode the source so that at least the borders of the input field are white, in stead of just the bottom left corner? I can do it in CSS, but that would change all tables that make use of this style.

Many thanks on beforehand. :up:

i installed this hack but never got it to work proper.. wished it did.. but oh well!
anyways i ran the un-installer and now i'm getting a database error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL: select p.tosessionid from pager as p left join session as s on (s.sessionhash = p.tosessionid) where p.active=1 and p.tosessionid='379c7504c2770cf5cb8613477249b73a'
mysql error: Table 'hoodlege_vb3.pager' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

how do i fix this so i can get my forums back lol? plz anyone!!!

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You didn't remove a modification to one of your php-files.

Since the table is deleted by teh uninstaller, this will give an error.

Make sure you undo all changes made during installation.

[iceytdot]

thanks marco! i dont know how i managed to miss only that edit! lol gotta stop doin hacks at 3am

[Cyricx]

Hands down AWESOME HACK!!

I did the chmod to 755 and it's working like a charm

[dsboyce8624]

This hack is resulting in template vbpager_new being uncached for me.

Is this default or did I hose it up?

Either way, how can i fix it?

Thanks

[predatorkill]

i ve done everything 100% correct,i use a style that have been recently released in vbulletin.com,i use vb 3.0.7.

i ve setted correctly the options in forum ACP but i cant see the pager working...what am i doing wrong?

EDIT: ok,it works now,but i dont see an icon next to the users names,i see "send a pager message to user xxxxx"

i ve uploaded the image into /forum/images/buttons but the image dont show next to the user names.the pager works perfect,only this little problem.Imagine 100 persons inside the forum,and after their names shows "send blabla" it makes 20 lines!!!
how can i solve this issue?
EDIT2: problem solved,i had to put the image on my custom skin images folder!!

great hack <<installed>>

[predatorkill]

When i send a message(by clicking the white icon) to someone,from inside the "who is online" page,when this guy responds to my message,i cant see his respond if i am in a different page,for example "forum home".When i get back after 5minutes to the "who is online" the responder's message shows up and says "predatorkill 5minutes before".i hope i made my self clear and u can understand!

why this is happening?

Thanks
