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.

Looks like one of the best hacks I saw, setting a new standaard in bulletinboards imho.

Im a bit in the middle of the users who do get messages and those who dont... Some come through others not, makes it hard to rely on.

Playing with the numbers 1 and 200000 did not change anything, it just seems the database drops the messages on initial request but sometimes already before they are actually send.

I tested it with my connection (22ms ping to the server) and two friends, one with 36ms and the other 93ms and it seems the one with the highest ping to the server loses most while 93 should be accepteble imo.

Isnt there a way to delay the drop?

Im tryin to install this but when I go to the index.php file and I enter my admin details and lick login, nothing happens, it just brings me back to the same login screen.. What should i do?

Dennis01 · #**234** 08-17-2004, 01:21 AM

Did you read this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=188 and did a logout/login ?

heres a screeny of my jabber set up, you see i have added a bit in the user pc that gives you a download link for the software plus install steps, and also says what your jabber id is because jabber can not have gaps and that so the codeing removes all that from your forum id and says what your jabber one is.

it also acts as away to auto set up a persons jabber id just by viewing the user cp save them having to go to a specail page that would set up there id.

and the other is just the user end, theres a few other ones that work but i personaly use that one because i found it the easyest to edit the server login info and that so it would auto show in the settings boxs.

Looks great - it would be a whole lot less server intensive than the html refreshing in the bb messenger.

I would be interested in looking at this - are you willing to share or sell this particular hack?

right first of all to use it you would need full root control of your server so you be albe to install the edited jabber server.

next you have to edit a file that comes with the exe what basicly fills in the server info when the settings on the exe is loaded, this saves having to try and make your users understand what they got to fill in. make a zip with all the messenger files in it and upload to your server.

do a temp edit on vb to add th bit to the user zip.

tell your users its there then they just go to usercp what on first time of loading sets up there jabber username from there board name but pulling any gaps or things like #~* out of there names, then they just download the zip you uploaded and unzip the file to a fplder on there pc and just run the exe and login useing there forums password and jabber id.

not a matter of cost because we never do stuff for a cost its a matter of being able to put it here telling people how to install it and being albe to give support all im not able to do right now.
