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.

its like having a forum installed but people posting a topic every few sec because its live one to one chat.

I guess please was the magic word

thanks for the reply C.Birch
But I dont think i understand this correctly
The server is a 3ghz box with 1gb of ram.
and when 1 single user connect the CPU usage goes to 100% and stays there until they disconnect.
This makes the web site and server unusable.
i would think that if this is the case for everyone, then nobody would use it since it will cripple there servers with a single connect.
but nobody seems to complain about it but me, so i'm assuming i must have done something wrong. so i'm looking for suggestions.

Is this correct?

hehe yeah that would be right, will look in to that for the next version.

I really dont know what your prob might be one user would defo not do that much to your server load. Is yours the only site on the server?

yes it's a windows 2003 dedicated server
running
php 4.3.5
apache 1.3.26
mysql 3.23.57
vbulliten 3.0.1

i had no problems with the install.
i rdp'd to the server and ran task mgr. then from another computer launched a bbmessenger session and the cpu on the server went to 100% right away and stayed there until i closed the bbmssgr seesion.

anything i should try?

dndog · #**178** 07-15-2004, 04:55 AM

you not find it in the files

editing {var:sitename} to your site will do it but the real way to do it is to edit the database because {var:sitename} is a call to the database for the site name.

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