yeah, I like those suggestions above.

I think making it so we can turn off the saved messages in both inbox and sent messages would be a good option too. (if it already exists then I probably just overlooked it)

also, maybe an option to keep the window open?

[mcyates]

Is it possible to click the names of the users in the "What's Going On? box" and page them.

[IrPr]

I think its to do with the footer code?

To everyone having the same problem, please make sure that you got your forum url filled in the Help Site Name / URL / Contact Details under your ADMINCP

See the attached Image.

I couldn't wait and have it installed as a test.

For the postbit it perhaps would be nice if the pager image wouldn't appear if the post was made by the user who is browsing the post. (Like: There's no need to page yourself).

Additionally I think it shouldn't list anything from the pager system if the user doesn't want to receive pagers, or if the user who browses the thread is in a usergroup that has no permission to use the pager.

Hm, I am also able to send msgs to users who are on my pager buddy list, but in a usergroup that has no permission to use the pager.

Few suggestions:

1. Need a default Avatar or a blank space for users without an Avatar.
2. Need a more visiable instant messenger icon in the postbit/post_legecy so users can easily find it.
3. Who's Online members on the forum home: when you click someone a menu appears giving you the option to send them an instant message, add to buddylist, view profile ect.

Excellent hack again

1. there is already one that you could change yourself :-)
2. Just make an icon :-p
3. thats a good idea!

Hi

I have installed and all is showing as it should be but
When i go to type in a message, the text disapears straight away,
not even time to show 2 letters disappears after the 1st letter..
the letter count does not change either due to nothing typed lol

Also this edit in the navbar template

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

My code is like this

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>$subscribed_threads_replied
<br /><if condition="$rcount != ''">$rcount<br /></if>

so i had to put your change like this

			<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>$subscribed_threads_replied
<br /><if condition="$rcount != ''">$rcount<br /></if>
<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.0' CHANGEID= 3 ] -->
			<if condition="$show['pager']"><br /><a href="#" onclick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/pager.php?action=pager&do=log&folder=inbox','pagerinbox','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=650,height=500'); return false;">$vbphrase[pager_pager_messages]</a><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[pagerunread]" 2="$bbuserinfo[pagertotal]">$vbphrase[pager_messages_nav_x_y]</phrase></if>
<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.0' CHANGEID= 3 ] -->

Was this right or not?

Any ideas as this looks brill!!

Regards

Bashy

EDIT: Isuue resolved, I had set the max character to 0 (disable) but would not let me type anything with this disabled, all is well now as i have set a limit!

You welcome
1- There is already one, and you can use your own if you like, just replace vbpager.gif with your own.
2- Again, you can user your own icon, it's vbpager_icon.gif.
3- I did not want people editing a lot of their fourm's templates, since vb pager has it's own popup window with all online members.
but if you want to have it, I can provide you with the template edit for that.

Hey Floris, thanks for stopping by
You know, I used to have this condition in the postbit/postbit_lagacy

<if condition="$vboptions['vbpager_active'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $post['userid'] AND $bbuserinfo[userid]">

but then I removed $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $post['userid'], I don't know why, but that how it went lol.

Your second thought, mmm, I had the Private Message Logic, like if a user has disabled PM, anyone try to send that user a pm will get an error message, so again, I went with that logic.

Usergroup with no permission to use pager will never be able to send new pager messages nor reply, but will always be able to receive pager messages from others.
You can always restrict individuals from receiving pager messages, by adding their userids in the vB Pager banned users.

You will need to change Maximum Number of charaters per pager message from the vB Pager usergroup permission.
