BB| Messenger 1.5

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.

My modifications takes directly any cookie prefix defined in ./includes/config.php. Don't know why this don't want to work :surprised:

I have retry to re-install the hack and replace with my file and all works.

I tried everything in all the previous suggestions, it was only when I uploaded YOUR version of vb3.inc.php that I at least got the thing to start. THANK YOU.
Still having issues but am getting closer to getting this to work. I agree with others though- this could be hack of the year if it was all clean and fully functional as a full release add-on.

Awesome. Got it working now!!!

location.href="../index.php";
}

</script>


then where every you want your link add the link like this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="launchbbm()">your link</a>

or any other type of link you want be it a img or what main thing is that the link stops as:

href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="launchbbm()">

because thats calling the java.

2) not me personaly because im to busy to support this hack but yes it can be done if someone feel's like it.

3) yes but again someone else will have to do it.

4) not really not with out doing alot of recoding and basicy aking the hack again.

5) no because it use's vb's cookies and user info.

i could be wrong about some points but like i say people are free to help out with this hack.

Just a note for newbies- You must add the javascript to the "headinclude" template for your forum, and you have to edit the code to reflect the proper path to your forum or else all you will get is your forum main page when you click the link.

Got it running perfectly on my forum. http://forum.yeix.com

managed to correct most coding errors, i find that it needs cookies to run you so you have to have "Remember Me" checked when you enter the forum, so it reverts to that cookie and logs you in

Just need to edit the look of the login of the index page now and should be sailing.

Thanks for the hack

I've found if I use the vb3.inc.php provided by PitchouneN64ngc, there are no login/cookie issues at all. One other thing I did is to add the javascript popup link to the user CPANEL via the USERCPSHELL template; this makes it so the only way you even see the link or can access the BB Messenger is to be registered and logged in to the forums, so when you click that link, the messenger starts right up, you never see the login page. It also is very easy to customize this feature to match your forums, including the logo. Just create a new logo, making it 150x44 pixels, call it "logo.jpg" and upload it to the folder /bbmessenger/style/images/ (I know this is basic stuff here but it helps those who are less experienced to make this a great feature)

I have this installed on both my forums and the members love it.

Good work dude. I read the thread from start to finish, made the adjustments and it works like a charm on v3.0.3
