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

@subnet_rx, user permission is controlled on the Forum preference page. a user gets list of forums on which s/he has read access.

@t.uzuner, did your setup pass TEST? btw, u do not need to put hands on Cookie settings. if needed feel free to consult me over IM. once we get your problem fixed we shall share the procedure here.

@lnxtr, if you want to do it yourself options are open. download compile the JAVA source code, make jar file. use an executable creator to create EXE from that .JAR.

Very great hack mate!
Bookmarked this, too and waiting for the avatar and friends online feature.
Also waiting for a VISTA solution.
Then I am about to donate! Add ur PayPal axx to ur account

[lnxtr]

thanks.
is there any program you know converting .exe from .jar ?

[sf.nsuers]

@lnxtr, please watch this video for tuning up the EXE for your forum.

I use install4j for making executable from .jar.

@FiMeTi, thanks! that's very kind of you

I will be providing updates time to time. Everyone is requested to TAG this modification. Your ratings and marking 'installed' and donations would encourage me a lot!

Hi,
the Vista "Bug" is easy to fix, the config.cnf does not have the rights to be edit by the normal user. Just change the permissions on the file, and it works.
Regards,
todin

Try replacing the "vb_" prefix with your own "myprefix_" prefix (if that's the one you are using for vBulletin).

Edit: Yours would then read...

FROM myprefix_thread t, myprefix_forum f, myprefix_post p, myprefix_user u

I hope this fixes the problem you're having.
