User Away Messages · **Released**: 07-15-2004

[ Feature Description ]
This hack allows users to easily set themselves as away via the Edit Profile page. An optional away message can be added along with the away status. Away messages are viewable at the top of the user profile (by the avatar/user picture). If a post is made when a user is in away mode, the user is automatically set off away mode.

[ Hack Concept ]
Credits to bira for making the original away message hack for vBulletin 2. This is a complete remake however.

[ Future Plans ]

Show away status in postbit. (If you want, you can add this right now by using an xhtml conditional ($bbuserinfo[awaystatus] == 1)).

[ Example ]

Enjoy!

Will this also add away unilt a certain date so we might know how long they will be gone? And maybe have it automatically set them back on that day and time if they choose that option? Or can it be done?

This can easily be done using cron but I figured the auto-back when replying to a thread made things easier. I can look into it for a future version though.

this mod, added to LastSeenOnline is mostly complete... just need to add a WillBeBack at x date... but franckly, i don't see the use... just add the date in your away message, that's all...

but, a cool feature would be to have s select button for the away user...: deactivate PMs when away ... so if you go outside for a long period, users PMing you will have your away message in the face instead of the PM system ... kinda: don't PM me, i'm not here and don't want to be bothered...

I had users asking for something similiar for the PM system. Something like an email away message where if you sent them a PM it would reply back saying they were out untill XXXXX. Probably alot of work but it would seem logical to integrate that with something like this.

Hi to you if you are Gamingforce on this board

[/high]

Just so you know: that really really really good looking, nice girl has been shown your message.

While I appreciate your work,

mind taking a look at the section for profile.php. Steps 3 / 5 is identical.

So, I'm sure that we're missing something, *laughs*
