===========

What It Does:

With VBM your members can login to the messenger with thier membership details , add other members to thier contact list (for VB 3.7 contacts are the friends in the friend list) , communicate with each other with smilies , fonts , colors ... , also they will be notified about newest forum posts and threads and view "last 10 posts" in the forum in an easy and fast way with a "Read More" button that will open the thread/post when clicked .
VBM has a public chat room , that can be accessed by all members that use the messenger .
Your members will know about the newest posts in the forum and will open the new post in a new browser window once they click the notification , which means a more active forum members and a better moderation .

Features:

- VBM is easy to install and manage .
- VBM Means less resources required from your website server (MySQL Queries > CPU , Bandwidth) .
- VBM Means a more living forum , and a better moderation .

- It is easy to install and manage your VBulletin Messenger system .
- Fully Supported
- VBM takes less queries from DATABASE and takes less resources/bandwidth because it dosen't have to load the pictures/CSS/backgrounds or any other files from your server , it only loads a small list of online/offline contacts with information about last 10 posts and threads in the forum , which takes about 10-15 queries and max of 5kb-15kb transfere which is less a 1000-10000 times from only opening the forum home page .

Installation:

1 - Download the Server Side Script and Open the file "include.php" and edit the database details to match these of your forum config.php entries

2 - Upload all the PHP files in the "vbmsngr" directory in the root directory of your website "/public_html/" (You may need to create the "/public_html/vbmsngr" folder) .

3 - Tell your members and/or moderators about The Messenger Installation Pack which is the messenger desktop software
Every one who installs this software and have a membership in your forum can chat to each other .

To login to the messenger use your user name then the "@" sign then your forum URL . example : me@myforum.com , enter your password and you're in !!!
You can make a subdomain and add the Server Side Script in it , but then no one can login to the messenger unless they know the subdomain address .

Notes:
- Messenger accepts only usernames and passwords in english chars! ( other languages support coming soon! )
- There will not be any options of editing the [Sitename] Messenger / theme / skin / removing the @domain.com login method unless in custom versions , please refer to the website .

To all who installed the mod and messenger did not connect , please redownload the server side script from the attachment and replace the PHP files in vbmsngr , you can skip the include.php file .

we are sorry for the problem , we just did not notice that that script was for local servers testing only . thank you .

In the includes.php theres 2 parts that say "select * from" and "create table"

Those words have to be in CAPITAL letters (ie SELECT * FROM and CREATE TABLE)

when I changed that it worked for me nice mod!

-- BTW, is there any way for myself to customize the messenger? I would like to integrate my site's style and a few other things maybe, would love to have the ability to do that

it worker when i used test@www.boards-united.com but did not work when i used test@boards-united.com due to a "301 Moved Permanently" header .

it would be better if you place the vbmsngr inside a folder for example "m" and create a subdomain "m.boards-united.com" , this would be a solution for the 301 error and any problems with connecting to the server with a www or without .

unfortunatly there are no way we can give the EXE source code to change the title of the application or the skin/theme/design , but we make paid modifications to the exe , like removing the copywrite and site link from the bottom of the application , change the theme/skin , put the site/forum name to the title of the application , and remove the @domain.url to link directly to your forum (and link to other forums with the @ sign) .

And capitalization of MySQL queries does not affect if you use a new MySQL service running on the server with apachi and php4 or higher
