Support Can Not Be Given For This Hack
BB|Messenger is a user to user messenger system for vb3 that runs off your user database.
This hack as been made for my own forums and has not been tested on any other forums, so its very likely that errors might be found on other system set up's.
To Install:
upload all the files in the same way that they are in side the zip.
once all files are upload load the page http://www.yourdomain.com/bbmessenger/
note that the address before bbmessenger/ will be the path to the folder on your site.
Follow the install page and your all done.
The only other thing that needs doing is the editing of the address's in the marquee.php file that you upload to your forums root.
Find:
put a link anywhere you like on your forums linking to /bbmessenger/index.php
How To's
To edit the colours edit the css in the files in the style folder.
Support
Can not be given via my self due to work load please do not e-mail or pm asking for help in anyway because the reply will more and likely be no, this does not stop user's from helping each other with probs in this topic and if a fix or addon is made i will update the zip with it up on the asking of doing so.
Fix's
1) check your vBulletin cookies Prefix in vb's config file is set to bb like below:
// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = 'bb';
if not set it to the above, if setting it to the above gives you errors with other hacks follow the steps on page 3 for editing messengers cookie call's.
It's a great hack once you customize it and remove some of the cpu/bandwidth hogging features. I had to remove the license check feature since all of our users and servers are intranet (internal) and have no outside internet access. I can't wait for the next version to see what it includes. Even better since I run my own local servers, I'm interested in the Jabber Server very much! As-is, this hack is a server cpu killer!
Help I have premium members on my site who pay to use the site and i would like for them,admin and the mods to be able to use the bbmessenger and not the non paying members how do i do this?
also the moving latest topics for some reason are linked to the community forums and not mine how do i change them plz help...
My guess the answer to your question is No. I've removed this from my Board hoping to find a way to solve the cpu killer built into it. I guess getting help on the Jabber Server won't happen, so when I have the time I'll try re-writing this one from the ground up and release it.
right first of all to use it you would need full root control of your server so you be albe to install the edited jabber server.
next you have to edit a file that comes with the exe what basicly fills in the server info when the settings on the exe is loaded, this saves having to try and make your users understand what they got to fill in. make a zip with all the messenger files in it and upload to your server.
do a temp edit on vb to add th bit to the user zip.
tell your users its there then they just go to usercp what on first time of loading sets up there jabber username from there board name but pulling any gaps or things like #~* out of there names, then they just download the zip you uploaded and unzip the file to a fplder on there pc and just run the exe and login useing there forums password and jabber id.
not a matter of cost because we never do stuff for a cost its a matter of being able to put it here telling people how to install it and being albe to give support all im not able to do right now.
Hey you mind sharing? im whilling to pay and im sure by working on it ill be able to make it work plz :banana:
