===========

What It Does:

With VBM your members can login to the messenger with thier membership details , add other members to thier contact list (for VB 3.7 contacts are the friends in the friend list) , communicate with each other with smilies , fonts , colors ... , also they will be notified about newest forum posts and threads and view "last 10 posts" in the forum in an easy and fast way with a "Read More" button that will open the thread/post when clicked .
VBM has a public chat room , that can be accessed by all members that use the messenger .
Your members will know about the newest posts in the forum and will open the new post in a new browser window once they click the notification , which means a more active forum members and a better moderation .

Features:

- VBM is easy to install and manage .
- VBM Means less resources required from your website server (MySQL Queries > CPU , Bandwidth) .
- VBM Means a more living forum , and a better moderation .

- It is easy to install and manage your VBulletin Messenger system .
- Fully Supported
- VBM takes less queries from DATABASE and takes less resources/bandwidth because it dosen't have to load the pictures/CSS/backgrounds or any other files from your server , it only loads a small list of online/offline contacts with information about last 10 posts and threads in the forum , which takes about 10-15 queries and max of 5kb-15kb transfere which is less a 1000-10000 times from only opening the forum home page .

Installation:

1 - Download the Server Side Script and Open the file "include.php" and edit the database details to match these of your forum config.php entries

2 - Upload all the PHP files in the "vbmsngr" directory in the root directory of your website "/public_html/" (You may need to create the "/public_html/vbmsngr" folder) .

3 - Tell your members and/or moderators about The Messenger Installation Pack which is the messenger desktop software
Every one who installs this software and have a membership in your forum can chat to each other .

To login to the messenger use your user name then the "@" sign then your forum URL . example : me@myforum.com , enter your password and you're in !!!
You can make a subdomain and add the Server Side Script in it , but then no one can login to the messenger unless they know the subdomain address .

Notes:
- Messenger accepts only usernames and passwords in english chars! ( other languages support coming soon! )
- There will not be any options of editing the [Sitename] Messenger / theme / skin / removing the @domain.com login method unless in custom versions , please refer to the website .

wont install on my pc. I go through the installation but after the installation is complete, the files aren't on my pc and doesn't show up in the start menu. im using vista. maybe compatibility issues.

[Amman-DJ.CoM]

it works perfectly on vista , maybe administration issues , just right click the setup file and "run as administrator"

[esperone]

tried that but still no luck. nevermind. good mod though

[esperone]

quick question. are you gonna make a white label version where forum admins can have their forum logo on the app for example?

as the logos does not have a standard size/url address this option is delayed till the creation of an administration panel for the messenger in next version .

Pehchaan , you server for some reason block the connection from the messenger , this maybe caused for one of the following reasons (or else) :

1 - you server rejects the User Agnent Header in the HTTP request
The Messenger Sends the following user agent :
"User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; MRSPUTNIK 2, 0, 0, 36 HW; MRA 5.1 (build 02228); SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; Seekmo 10.0.424.0)"

2 - You have wrong permissions set for the vbmsngr folder or files in it
we couldn't find any other reasons / problems , the connection from the messenger to your server just drops for a "closing" state .

-- Common installation problems --

1 - the folder "vbmsngr" should be in the "public_html" folder and all php files from the "server side script" should be in it.
2 - You should edit "include.php" file to match the database entries of your forum
3 - You should have zend core installed on your server (ask your host) < Not needed any more
4 - yuou should login as "username@website.url"

you may contact for further information .
