Updates in Version 2.0.4

• DHTML popup for Sending New Pager and Replying.
• Upgrade from version 2.0.0 and 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 inlcuded.
• New option in ADMINCP for Hard deleting messages.

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.

Ditto here.

There is something wrong in the install file, as I triple checked my DB, then ran the installer - it crashes, telling me there is a duplicate. I check the DB and, lo & behold, there is a dupe - JUST CREATED BY THE INSTALLER! So, I delete the referenced bits, check again and yes, the offending bits are indeed gone. So I run the installer again with the same results.

The error is happening before the file is even done building the phrases.

Maybe this thing works on a plain vanilla, unmodified copy of vB. With minor hacks installed, the thing just doesn't work.

I feel kind of stupid too. I've installed this, (it was easy, with no errors), but I can't see any pager image anywhere. I assume it's supposed to be next to the reputation scale in the upper right corner of the postbit template version of the post. There is also supposed to be a link in the navbar, under "Quick Links". Apparently, there needs to be certain permissions for people to use this, and view this, which is why maybe I can't "see" it. But, in the Usergroup Manager (admincp), there is no option for granting this permission.

Any suggestions?

Oh, in my Admin Control Panel, in the vBPager Options, I don't get anything to choose in that page. So, I must be missing something... What file edit controls that? Same as Dr Jamal's problem above. I've "saved" the phrases, etc.

[docvader]

Interesting, the phrases for the Pager Options in the Admin CP are present in the forum database. I've tried saving a few of them to see if they'd "appear", to no avail. I guess I don't see the Pager stuff in the forum because I have not turned it on. And I can't turn it on, because the admin cp/pager options shows what Dr Jamal's post above shows: nothing.

So, what do we do to get the pager options to "appear"? The admin cp/ pager messages panel seems to work fine.

[TwinsX2Dad]

I guess some things, some promises, are meaningless.

[docvader]

This lack of vbpager options in the admin cp is not uncommon apparently. It was noticed in the previous thread for this hack, before it was supposedly upgraded to vb 3.03.

In the admin cp, the vbpager options calls to ./admincp/options.php..., but, we didn't alter anything in that during the install. Something simple is missing here. Either I missed it, or it's not in the installer.

Would love to get this working. Looks like it could be a great addition. I've been looking for something like this for a while.

Insalled succesfully with tons of hacks installed in my site... seems to work ok... but i'm also having the problem other member had of not viewing the pager in the memberinfo template....
