Integration with vBulletin - vbulletin-xml-rpc-server for instant Desktop Notification

Let's take a look at following screen-shots first.









Yeah.. these look like Gmail Notifer application which is actually vbulletin-desktop-notifier application. As a forum admin, you might want to offer such application to your members.



== Video tutorials ==
Editing
Uploading
Installation

You can use vBulletin Desktop Notifier as dekstop client or free to build your own following API-DOC .



== Demo watch video ==
I'm offering demo in my forum. Here're the steps.

Download vbulletin-desktop-notifier and install in your machine.

Run vbulletin-desktop-notifier and login using
username: priti
password: 123456

Create a new thread at Demo vbulletin-xml-rpc-server threads or reply to existing thread.

You'll see notification in your desktop within few seconds.

Request: Please do not change password for user Priti. If somehow the login does not work you can try by creating a temporary user.



== Coming up next ?.. ==
Based on feedback I'm listing few of the enhancements that will be part of upcoming releases.

• [S]Server Compatibility check script[/S]
• [S]Options to select forum ids in User CP[/S]
• Display avatar of the person who made post in the notification window
• [S]Unread private message notification[/S]
• [S]Support for PHP4[/S]

Alfa1 came up with these ideas which hopefully will be integrated sooner or later in future releases:

- friends coming online

Which of the following events does this notifier alert to:
Member notifications:
- profile messages awaiting approval
- requests to join your social groups
- invitations to join social groups
- unread picture comments
- picture comments awaiting approval
- group messages awaiting approval

Moderator notifications:
- post awaiting approval
- threads awaiting approval
- events awaiting approval
- attachments awaiting approval
- members awaiting approval
- blogs awaiting approval
- blog comments awaiting approval
- profile comments awaiting approval
- group comments awaiting approval
- pictures awaiting approval
- picture comments awaiting approval

== Ongoing Discussions ?.. ==
discussions on release-02 starts here

== HOT FIX [release 2.0]?.. ==
Rename all files in system/application/models directory into lowercases. i.e:
Forum.php => forum.php
Settings.php => settings.php
Token.php => token.php
User.php => user.php

The first time I installed was fine with the test, after giving the issue of:
"Failed to parse servers response: Expected methodRespones element, got html"

I uninstall the mod and installed again and gave the following message:

"The XML data receieved was either invalid or not in the correct form for XML-RPC. Turn on debugging to examine the XML data further. Top-level XML RPC element is missing"

What should I do? How to proceed?
