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.

in marquee.php

find:

// connect to the database and pull the info we need.

$latestposts = $DB_site->query("
SELECT threadid, forumid, title, replycount, lastposter, postuserid, postusername
FROM thread
ORDER BY lastpost
DESC LIMIT " . THREAD_LIMIT . ""
);

and if your prefix it vb3 replace the above with:

// connect to the database and pull the info we need.

$latestposts = $DB_site->query("
SELECT vb3_threadid, vb3_forumid, vb3_title, vb3_replycount, vb3_lastposter, vb3_postuserid, vb3_postusername
FROM thread
ORDER BY lastpost
DESC LIMIT " . THREAD_LIMIT . ""
);

I have one little problem with it tho. When I click on the link for the java I don't get any chat window. How does the chat window work? What makes the chat window pop up? Does another person need to have the java open to be able to call to them to chat with? Sorry if I sound dumb on this.

what link do you mean? the one to open the messenger or are you clicking on a user's name thats showing online in the messenger interface.

I am clicking on both. I just don't see how the chat window is supposed to open to chat with someone

The marquee opens fine when I go to the index.php file. I made a quick link on my navbar using the call to the javascript you posted earlier. I have a couple of buddies listed in the marquee window but how do I chat with them?

C.Birch · #**106** 07-11-2004, 07:25 AM

New main messenger window interface

to use this new interface download the below zip file and upload the bbmessenger folder in it to your forums root, so the files with in it copy other the other bbmessenger files with the same name.

Please note that this interface is a beta interface for a planned v2 and due to this the my status and other buttons down the side apart from the top 2 will not work, there just there ready for when other stuff gets added.

if you have buddys listing in the online buddy part of the messenger or the online users part you just click on there names.

if there in the offline part clicking on there names will take you to the user pm system.

also always make sure that no popup blockers are stopping the windows from poping up.

Ok I see.

Well how does a buddy show up in the buddies listing in the online buddy part? How does it get the buddy to be listed there? I'm very sorry for being dumb about this. I guess I don't understand how this is supposed to work exactly, sorry.

Just taking an educated guess here... the other buddie would have to have his bb|Messenger open to correct?

If this is correct is then is there a function that would notify your buddy to open his bb|Messenger if doesn't have his bb|Messenger open at the time you would like to talk to them. LIke a popup on his screen or something?

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