VBJv | mEssenger v2.02

Vbulletin Java Messenger
v2: instant messenger for instant community.
Hello everyone, first i would like to point this to the 2 year old Hack

BB| Messenger 1.5 for VB 3.0.1

now this thread didn't have hardly any support, but after i waited for almost a year now for someone to port this over to the latest vb, i came accross it again a week ago and i said thats it its time for it to get ported, so i went to work going through all the scripts seeing whats needs to be changed

What is this?
this is a messenger for vbulletin that is in jave it uses the forum's user tables from your database to host the user system, so automaticly the users are signed up for the forum's messenger.

What i have to change?
templates - (1)

To install:
i have made the codes work where you upload the VBmessenger folder with in your forums folder, if you would like it else where you will have to edit a few lines which im not gonna go through right now.

upload the folder VBmessenger to your forum root
upload the php fiile marquee.php to the forum root as well

test to see if it works, it should work, if not and it says give VB ID number then go to forum/vbmessenger/sources/vbulletin_3.xx_plugin.php and on line 15 you will see this

$VAR["vbulletinlicenceid"]  = "";

enter your vbulletin id code "code goes here";
if you need help remembering or finding your vbulletin id code, then open up any vbulletin php file and at the top it gives you your id code

How To's
To edit the colours edit the css in the files in the Style folder.
so files:

• chatwindow.html.php
• messenger.html.php
• userbanned.html.php
• pleaselogin.html.php
• openmessenger.html.php

Makeing the marquee work right
you must update this in the marquee.php which is located at this point in your forum root

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://domain.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=" . $latestthread['threadid'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['title'] . "</a></b><br>\n";
    echo "Started by: <a href=\"http://domain.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&username=" . $latestthread['postusername'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['postusername'] . "</a><br>\n";
    echo "Last Post by: <a href=\"http://domain.com/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";

How to add instant popup link instead of going to the domain.com/vbmessenger/ index to open messenger
add the following java to the header:

<script language="Javascript1.3">
function launchbbm()
{
    s001 = window.open("index.php?func=m_frameset", "", "width=233, height=450, address=no, toolbar=no, status=yes");
    location.href="../index.php";
}

</script>

then where every you want your link add the link like this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="launchbbm()">your link</a>

or any other type of link you want be it a image or what main thing is that the link stops as:

href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="launchbbm()">

because thats calling the java.

You must add the javascript to the "headinclude" template for your forum, and you have to edit the code to reflect the proper path to your forum or else all you will get is your forum main page when you click the link.

Support and Help

I will try my best to help with anyone's problems but i can't offer full support im not extreamly good at codeing nor debugging, but i can try and help to my best.
i also don't mind if anyone helps fellow users with support that would be nice.
i tired to make the code as easy as possible to install with no bugs, the only thing you would need to change is probably on some boards maybe ur Vbulletin ID number thats about it, otherwise upload zip and enjoy


IF YOU USE THIS PLEAS DON'T FORGET THE MAGICAL BUTTON

i would like to give most props to the 2 users who made this in the first place

C.Birch and TomUK

TomUK is the original writer of this scripts for bb|messenger, he wrote it for his friend C.Birch who then later took it and made it work for vb, then after 2 years of complete no support i took it and made it into V2.0 to work with the new 3.6.1 Vbulletin, its a shame to see this project go down and lost like this its a great SIMPLE addon that is FULLY customizeable to all sites.
i have changed the name and i will work on a new style in a week or so after i get some other work done, if ANYONE would like to help with this project its would be very nice just pm me with ur changes/ your version i will take a look and update this thread and give some credit. as far as features go i have a big list of things i want to do to this, i just need someone to help in codeing the ideas.
in the original thread it was said that C. birch is no longer in charge of the script but it was not said who took over so i guess, i have now,
any questions feel free to ask

Updates

• v2.02 the code uses images that link read with /forum/ in it, i forgot to make thise read with ./ instead that way forums with the forum located at forums/ can also use this with no changes
• v2.01 i just added the final touch to the intergration code for 3.6, now this addon to your forum is THE EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD all you do it upload to forum root and start useing it, its that easy, the intergrator read your db and forum settings automaticly

Yes thats the same error I got in my logs. I tried editing vbulletin_3.xx_plugin.php to add db info right in the file like:

$VAR["db_username"]     = 'mydbusername';
$VAR["db_password"]     = 'mydbpassword';

and so on.
And then I didn't get error that it can't connect to database but I got just blank page when I go to /vbmessenger/index.php

[bashy]

This dont work at all, I get a blank page at forums/vbmessenger/index.php

[ztempuser]
