BB| Messenger 1.5 · **Released**: 07-08-2004

Please press install if you install this hack

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:

PHP Code:


			
 echo "<tr>\n";

    echo "<td width=\"$marquee_width\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px inset #000000; background-color: #4C6CA4\" onMouseover=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#607DAE';\" onMouseOut=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#4C6CA4';\">\n";

    echo "<font size=1 face=\"Verdana, Arial, sans-serif, Helvetica, Times\">\n";

    echo "<b><a href=\"http://community.ultimate-music.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=" . $latestthread['threadid'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['title'] . "</a></b><br>\n";

    echo "Started by: <a href=\"http://community.ultimate-music.net/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&username=" . $latestthread['postusername'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['postusername'] . "</a><br>\n";

    echo "Last Post by: <a href=\"http://community.ultimate-music.net/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&username=" . $latestthread['lastposter'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['lastposter'] . "</a><br>\n";

    echo $numreplies;

    echo "\n</font>\n";

    echo "</td>\n</tr>\n\n";

and edit it to meet your own needs.

User linking to the messenger

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.

this fix's the login error.

2) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=164 Zip will get updated when next version is out.

Can you tell me how to make the link from the forums popup the messenger directly instead of going to the "bbmessenger/index.php" file first?
Can you add an option to ask the user when they come to the forum if they want to run the BB Messenger?
If the answer to #2 is "yes" can it have an "On/Off" option in the ACP and the UserCP?
Can this messenger be expanded to act like a chatroom in addition to a one-on-one chat?
Is there a way to have the forum not show users as online if they are only running the messenger? I have users showing up as online when they goto my site and load the messenger and then close the site. It is misleading.

1) add the following java to the header:

<script language="Javascript1.3">
function launchbbm()
{
s001 = window.open("index.php?func=m_frameset", "", "width=233, height=450, address=no, toolbar=no, status=yes");
location.href="../index.php";
}

</script>

then where every you want your link add the link like this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="launchbbm()">your link</a>

or any other type of link you want be it a img or what main thing is that the link stops as:

href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="launchbbm()">

because thats calling the java.

2) not me personaly because im to busy to support this hack but yes it can be done if someone feel's like it.

3) yes but again someone else will have to do it.

4) not really not with out doing alot of recoding and basicy aking the hack again.

5) no because it use's vb's cookies and user info.

i could be wrong about some points but like i say people are free to help out with this hack.

C.Birch - this is a hack of the month.

Very well done, and thanks for releasing it.

#54 07-09-2004, 11:19 PM

the who's online can be hacked easily, because we can edit the online file to not display users when they use it... i may come with the hack later... for now we're mourning someone here, so we don't do any coding, but when this is finished...

MissKalunji · #55 07-09-2004, 11:33 PM

i dunno if someone can help me but when i log in the messenger it gives me an error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_permissions() in /home/dancehal/public_html/forums/marquee.php on line 47

It logs in i can see my buddy list but i cant see the latest post
n e one knows how i can fix that?

Thx

P.s Thx again C.birch for realeasing it :nervous:

Thank you. Seems to have done the trick. However, I had the change index.php?func=m_frameset to bbmessenger/index.php?func=m_frameset.

What is the location.href="../index.php"; for?

Pitman · #59 07-10-2004, 02:25 AM

This is awesome... I have a few ideas and suggestions for this as well...

Menu at the top of the messenger using vB Popup menus with options
Ability to group private IMs and invite people to those.
Ability to create public chat rooms that are listed (maybe like the latest topics are listed now)
Maybe a non annoying sound when receiving a message and maybe for sign on and sign off
If a window is open, don't move it on top (If you're talking to more than one person, it jumps back and forth and can really get aggravating)
and everything else that has been mentioned... but if it's turned into a live support thing where only admins and others are shown, please leave an option to change that to everybody

dndog · #60 07-10-2004, 03:59 AM

How can I eliminate that marquee totally?

Thanks.

Tested this on vb 3.03. Installed fine, was able to login but messages not getting through between different users. I tested myself on two networked computers..... sending messages between two different accounts and nothing arrived. Checked the DB via phpmyadmin and the message entries were there.... messages automatically deleted automatically as expected but never displayed on either messenger screen.

A pity. This looks a great hack... the messenger interface itself looks awesome.

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