This modification thread will not be upgraded, since it is possible that some users may prefer v4.

Compatible with 3.6.x and 3.5.x
vBStatus allows your users to update their status to tell other members what they are doing/thinking at any given time. A user's status is displayed under their names in their postbit, in their User Profile, and anywhere else you choose!

User's can edit their status quickly and easily via AJAX.

Administrative options include:
  • Banning a list of usergroups from using the hack.
  • Allowing a list of usergroups to change other users' status.
  • Limit the # of characters used in Status Messages
  • Word wrap status messages to prevent broken templates.
  • Turning the hack on/off.
  • Option of In-Line editting or a popup. (Defined in the admincp)
  • Default status for users with a blank status. (Defined in the admincp)
  • Status prefix to append an admin-customizable forum standard. (Attilitus is doing something)
There are 3 template edits for this hack. The installation readme file will guide you through the entire process.
Update 2.0:
Please reinstall the product xml file, and re-edit your templates following the new instructions in the readme file. This is to correct a small cosmetic bug that displays non-functional links to guests and non-admins.

Update 3.0:
A number of bugs were fixed, and a few new admin options were added. Please uninstall the previous product and reinstall this one. Please re-edit your templates and reupload all files. Sorry for the inconvenience (but at least we are getting this handled in the first 12 hours of release.)

Update 4.0:
This is a fairly comprehensive update. You must remove all previous template edits and add the new template code. You must also "Allow Overwrite" when importing the new product. The DB structure hasn't changed.

New features include:
  • In-Line Editting (This is on by default, but you can return to the previous popup style by changing an option in the admincp)
  • Default Status: If a user doesn't have any status message it will be set to a default status which you can define in the admincp
  • Visual improvements: Various small visual improvements were made, including a change in the location of the small "edit" link.
Update 4.01
I added status prefixes. If your updating from version 4 just reimport the product (with overwrite set to yes), and reupload all the files. No template edits necessary when upgrading from v4 to v4.01. (And I'm not going to change the file version because this update came so quickly on the heals of v4.)


Please do not forget to click INSTALL

Also would it be possible to have a section that displays the most recent status updates?

hm. I'll add an inline option in the next version. The choice to have it be a popup was just a design choice, I happen to prefer it.

This hack has been updated to version 4.0

Please follow the update instructions to the letter!

In-line editting was added, as well as an admin-set default status message for users who have a blank status. More details are available in the original post (which has been editted) and in the update instructions within the download package.

Enjoy.

Please could you do a txt file set of instructions, as we do not use WORD.
We can open in editplus, but get unusual addedit codes on each line, which could knacker the file edits etc up.

Looks like a good mod, downloaded. Reserved

I have changed the files to Rich Text Format (.rtf) and have included an additional folder which contains the instructions in normal .txt format. I find that being able to use bold text makes the instructions easier to follow, thats why I use the different format.

Download the package again to get the new instruction files.

One question.

We have added this, and will mark as installed.

In Postbit/postbit legacy, where it says Username.

Example.

Timberfloorau has no status

if we then edit this, to say playing a game

can we add in template the word IS after username.

So status reads, Timberfloorau is playing a game.

Most members will forget to add the word IS
And seeing as that is the most common word after their username, would be good if we could add that particular mod.

Ozzy

I added a status prefix option. I am not going to release a new version I just updated the package. So re-download v4 (which I've modified to include this feature) and follow the following instructions:

Upload all files in the upload folder (overwrite any existing files)
Reimport the product with the overwrite option checked.
No template edits necessary.
