Hi,

This is something that is common in IRC - /me is away

In BBs, a user is either online or offline (or invisible).

But, on my Bulletin Board, the folks created such a community that every time someone goes on a holiday or goes offline for a while, he/she posts a new thread to annouce they're 'away.

So, I wrote a hack allowing a user to change his/her status to "away", including a return date and an away reason which will show up in their profile.

Likewise, the online/offline icon in postbit and buddy list will change to an away icon (a very faded version of the 'offline' one).

Some demo captures:

The Edit Profile screen, when a user is NOT away:

The Get Info (User Profile) screen when a user IS away:

The postbit icon when a user is away:

How to install:

Download the attached zip file. Upload away.gif to your images dir (or create your own away.gif).

Upload install_awayuser.php to your admin dir and follow the instructions.

Cheers,

Bira

I think it should work, yes. The line you have is basically the one bira's original installer tells us to search for - one reason I re-released the hack is because you can't find this line in 2.2.6 final, among other errors.

Good luck!

if upgrading from original hack can i leave templates as is?

Sho · #**354** 08-24-2002, 04:57 PM

Yep, the templates are unchanged.

Curiously when I removed the 'usergroupid==6' bit I got a parse error. So I put it back, and it worked fine. So even tho it wasn't there originally, it makes no difference having it there. Everything works a treat.

Thank you sooo much!

Good! :classic:

All "or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6)" means is "or Admins".

Great hack, I've install it on my forum 2.2.7 and fine working.

Sho · #**359** 08-30-2002, 02:49 PM

Great!

Thank you so much! I tried to install this hack since 2.2.4, and I never got it working, since some of the code changed. Now I have it on 2.2.7, and it works perfectly.

Sho · #**361** 08-31-2002, 12:38 AM

I am currently in the progress of updating my own forums to 2.2.7. If everything works as expected, I will edit my initial posting in this thread to reflect that his hack works with 2.2.6 as well as with 2.2.7.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
