Vbulletin Notification Application Stay Updated With Your Favorite Forums !!!
___Download Mirrors___
This is a selection of mirrors that I will try and keep updated with the latest releases.
Please use these links when linking to the product on your site.
This it to be the first publicly released Application (Ever) on vbulletin.org and as such is currently in Beta phase and I would like as many people to help test and give ideas for new features.
This application does not incorporate any Vbulletin Code and thus does not require any modification to existing forum software, it should work with 99.9% of Vbulletin Forums.
If you wish to tell your members about this application please do, if you can offer a mirror for this file for the casual user to better enjoy using your vbulletin forum; please send me a private message or email at Trigunflame@charter.net so this can offload some of the transfer from Vbulletin.org
On a further note, the creation of this application was to promote the growth of Vbulletin and expand its current userbase.
PS. Be On the lookout for a new Application (Vbulletin Control Center); this will allow administration of multiple forums within a single application providing speed, reliability and cross platform interoperability.
Summary:
The primary goal of this particular application is to provide a 'live' notification system for the user who would like updates on his/her desktop when they receive new PM's as well as New Posts to threads they are subscribed to at the Forums they wish.
This application being very small in size will quietly sit in your taskbar and notify you when your selected forums have new private messages waiting for you

This is an open-source project after all, and with this not being a PHP project some people might not like the idea of not having source code. I have a CVS server that I plan to keep updated with any changes made to the code which can be viewed here: http://bleach101.com/cvs/?&cvsrep=vbcp&file=vbnotify/

Noticed your reply. If you have any more information ie. some examples of how the page with the hack looks, ie. url to the board that would help a lot.
This hack relies on regex matching of the Vbulletin Phrases (x unread, or unread x) where x implies the number, more specifically (<strong>x</strong> unread) and vicer versa.
If any of that is changed it will not work; if you need to support how you're hack changes the pages; then you will have to edit the source of the connection.cpp with your own regex.
Sorry, but I only aim to support the Vast Majority of Vbulletin installations, and this is the best I can do until (if ever) implement an API that allows access to major features of the board.
I understand, I was mostly just posting it so others were aware. Since I ported it to 3.5 I'll look into fixing the hack itself.

looks VERY nice right now but i was thinking, why not include an option for admins to install a plugin that creates maybe an XML feed or something for logged in users to reduce the amount of downloading and parsing that the client does and also to allow for server-side query caching by the plugin.
