Alright, here it comes.. The 3.5 version of my famous AJAX hack

This one is using the new Product Manager.
That means to you: All phrases, all settings, all plugins are added with one simple file import

Just one single click - isn't that great?

complete Product
phrases, settings, plugins added automatically
on-click uninstall *

It took me some time to figure out how vB3.5 ticks but it's working now. This was my first try on the new Product Manager ever so there might be some errors but I installed it 10 times (because it is so easy

) and it worked. You can even uninstall it with one simple click

It works exactly like vB3 version, there are some minor tweaks to the code but those only affect performance

There's only one really new thing: If the username is not taken, the user will see a message (with a green background) telling him that he can register the desired username.

Sadly the templates must be changed manually but.. There won't be any fun without some handicraft

There's detailed instructions how to install this beauty within the package but let me explain some things first:

In the package you'll find 3 files:

product-ajaxcheckuser.xml
instructions.txt
ajax_checkusername.js

The first one is the most important one. It contains all plugins, phrases and the queries to add the new setting. You can easily import that file with the new Product Manager in your AdminCP.

The rest is even easier: Copy the ajax_checkusername.js to your clientscript folder and then open instructions.txt for the template edits.

Iam short of time at the moment but I'll do my best to support this plugin (or product or..).. Just ask here in this thread. If you like to donate something (I got one for the first release of the script) send me a pm for my paypal address.

Anything more to say? Happy importing and _always_ do backups first!

Ah for those begging for a screenshot or demo.. As there has not much changend on the frontend please see this thread for more information: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=81531

btw. Iam going to get some sleep now.. It's 5 in the morning here

* this includes plugins, settings and phrases.. Files have to be removed manually and templates must be reverted manually.

Change there

Code:

font-size: 70%;

to

Code:

font-size: 100%;

Then the text is bigger.

@JoergZ - Can you please post your addt'l checks? Thank you!

I don't know if this is o.k. or if it is against the rules.

Maybe Mr. Nase can give his o.k. for that.

It is ok to post fixes or hacks to a hack. The rules allow for this.

***************HACK**********************
Replace ajax_checkusername.js with the attached file which I altered.

Replace the contents of the plugin "AJAX: Username check" with this code.

PHP Code:


			
// ############################### start AJAX username check ###############################
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
    'username'      => TYPE_STR
));
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'checkusername' AND $vbulletin->GPC['username'] != '') 
{

    // set XML type and nocache headers
    header('Content-Type: text/plain');
    header('Expires: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    header('Pragma: public');
    
    $username = $vbulletin->GPC['username'];
    $unicode_username = preg_replace('/&#([0-9]+);/esiU', "convert_int_to_utf8('\\1')", $username);
    
    if (!empty($username) AND $checkuser = $db->query_first("
            SELECT username
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
            WHERE username IN ('" . $db->escape_string($username) . "', '" . $db->escape_string($unicode_username) . "')
        "))
    {
        echo 1;
    }
    else
    {
        echo 0;
    }
}

************************************************** **

This hack will update this product to use vb's built in AJAX functions.

It will also have it return the data as text/plain instead of text/xml. It wil return a 1 or a 0 instead of all that xml code to wrap the 1 or the 0. This eliminates some of the DOM code and should make it a hair quicker and a b it less use of resources.

Does this work with Styles other than the vBulletin built-in one? I ask because I tried installing this on my forum (where I use Aqua-Soft 2) and I couldn't find all the strings in the 'register' template that the instructions called for.

So I backed out and reversed my steps.

JoergZ · #38 02-01-2006, 05:10 PM

Thank you JumpD for posting your modification. I am very busy at the moment, so I had no time to post my modification earlier. Now I saw yours is much better, because I added hard-coded things to the plugin. So no reason to post my personal "dirty" modification anymore

When I have time, I will replace my modifications with yours.

I also released a hack with the complete code that I use which does much more with more to come. Live Feedback System:Registration.

I am sorry to disappoint you but having trouble with one member of the vBulletin team I decided not to support my products any further. I think my constant quarrel with Floris has had an impact on how the whole team treats me as a user and so I am holding up my mirror to them.

MrNase · #41 09-19-2006, 07:33 AM

A 3.6.1 version is out using phrases, plugins and more.
