vB Pager 2.0.4

vB Pager
Version: 2.0.5
vB-version: 3.0.6
Developer: WwW.UAEWEB.CoM
Install-difficulty: Easy


Okay, this is my first released hack here on vb.org, been using it in my private forum's with vB2 and finally, I've upgraded this hack for vB 3.0.1.


Introduction:
vB pager is a new refined & light paging system that enables authorized users to exchange short & quick messages amongst each other. Unlike the regular private messaging system, the paged user is guaranteed to read your message & reply to it (if you choose this option) instantly & easily.

Features:

• You won't need to log on your CP to send a message, just click on the pager icon next to the name of the user you'd like to page! (See Screenshots)
• Switch the paging system on or off anytime you wish!
• Specify who gets to use the paging system by Usergroup, or even User IDs to send messages to your forum members.
• vB Pager users can send pager messages to members of the forum and/or non-registered guests from the WhoisOnline's page.
• Optional Anonymity: you can choose to hide your username when paging another user on the forum, & define which Usergroup or User IDs can utilize this option.
• Restrict the number of characters in each message: you can restrict the use of this paging system to short messages only by simply typing in the maximum number of characters that can be used. The window comes in with a built-in character counter to enable the user to keep track of the characters typed.
• Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages member has, can be viewed and deleted.
• Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages (Deleted and Unread messages) for all members can be viewed and deleted through the Admin CP.

vB Pager 2.0.4 Updates:
- All popup windows are DHTML, so there should be no problem with popup killers.
- Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages (Deleted and Unread messages) for all members can be set to be Hard deleted, as a new option from vB Pager options in Admin CP.
- Many bug fixes.

vB Pager 2.0.5 Updates:
- Bug Fix: Getting blank messages from guest.

I just installed it on two forums of mine, the same copy we got in the attached one to this thread, there seems no problem with it :surprised:

are you just upgrading from 2.0.4 to 2.0.5?? or installing a fresh one??

[Lionel]

fresh one. I fixed it by putting missing brackets

Lionel, can you please post the lines which were missing the brackets?

Thank you

[Lionel]

that one was in global.php. There were some more in functions_online or online.php

PHP Code:

$uids = explode(',', str_replace(' ', '', $vboptions[vbpager_canhidename]));
if (in_array($bbuserinfo[userid], $uids))
    $canhide = 1;
if ($pagermessage)
{
$pagerinfo = show_pager();
if ($pagerinfo)
eval('$pagermessage = "' . fetch_template('vbpager_popup') . '";');
} 
if ( $vboptions[vbpager_canpager] )
eval('$newpagerpopup = "' . fetch_template('vbpager_new') . '";'); 


my changes that made it work

// [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='WwW.UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='2.0.5' CHANGEID= 3 ]
$uids = explode(',', str_replace(' ', '', $vboptions[vbpager_canhidename]));
if (in_array($bbuserinfo[userid], $uids))
$canhide = 1;
if ($pagermessage)
{
$pagerinfo = show_pager();
}
if ($pagerinfo) {
eval('$pagermessage = "' . fetch_template('vbpager_popup') . '";');
}
if ( $vboptions[vbpager_canpager] ) {
eval('$newpagerpopup = "' . fetch_template('vbpager_new') . '";');
}

hey, as for vB Pager v3.0.0 it won't be ready till I get back from my summer vacation, which is starting next week

I'll be having an upgrade file to v3.0.0, so you can try this one for now, and it's not that hard to uninstall if things went wrong.
