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.

not that I've seen, I'm gonna install it on a test forum and see if there's something I can do. It's completely random, so it's a bugger to see what's causing it

because you put the link in the wrong place of your navbar template. You'll have to re-edit and make sure it's put in exactly as the instructions show

[aranthorn]

OK, I think have the fix for the infamous guest pages dated 1969...

This seems to be caused by the userager field getting set at -1

So, I went to my database and changed the field type for pager in the user table from INT to tinyint

INT type fields support numberical values from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647

tinyint type fields support numerical values from 0 to 255

This should eliminate the weird setting of value -1

since I don't want any private messages so I remove the code for it and used in place the code for the pager but still have problems
you may check the file

I added the code to navbar exactly how instructions say and there is not a trace of this in or near my navbar ..

Also for some reason this hack is not working. You can click on the pager in currently active users, a pager screen pops up, you send but members never recieves .. Does every id need to be added in order for member to be able to use this . Or could that be left default and the user groups be listed instead ?

its crap - too many errors,
also i came accross many errors listed in this forum and most are still unanswered..

[nnjj.net]

so no chance to solve my issue

First of all, I would like to apologize for being late..
I have been so busy with my work.

vB Pager 2.0.5 has been released with a bug fix for those who are getting blank messages from guests.

All should upgrade, it's a little change and should be easy to follow, just download the file and open UPGRADE.txt and do the changes.

I promise to have a better one with the coming vB Pager 3.0.0!
