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'm using 3.0.4 as well and have it working except for the link in the welcome section of the navbar. I can't seem to get that to show to save my life. If you have that portion working, can you share what you did to get it to work?

Find in navbar on 3.7.0 :-

<div><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></div>
		</if></if>

Add below :-

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 3 ] -->
            <if condition="$show['pager']"><br /><a href="#" onclick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/pager.php?action=pager&do=log&folder=inbox','pagerinbox','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=650,height=500'); return false;">$vbphrase[pager_pager_messages]</a><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[pagerunread]" 2="$bbuserinfo[pagertotal]">$vbphrase[pager_messages_nav_x_y]</phrase></if>
<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 3 ] -->

Well this is what I was doing to start with and no joy. I'm using the template modification system. So I decided to just apply it directly to the template, when I tried to save the template it told me I had a missing < /if > statement far into the template, line 165.

So I just backed out of that edit since I didn't save it and then loaded the same unmodificed 3.7 navbar template and tried to just save it without doing anything else. VB still flags this template with the missing < /if > this time on line 160 as one would imagine from removing the earlier edit for the pager.

In looking at line 160, I can't see why VB thinks it needs this closing IF statement?

I am getting this error

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in /home/sonscafe/public_html/forum/admincp/vbpager_install_2_05.php on line 521

[Mrdby]

when will this be updated?

[johon]

For me it's working fine in 3.7 - my users definitely don't want to miss it....

I can't download 3.0.4 anymore as it is in the modification graveyard. I uninstalled the mod a long time ago, and my members still miss it. I'd rather take my chances at this point. Can anyone direct me to a download?

I installed this a log time ago and t has worked fine. Just updated to a new style that doesntuse a navbar so I put the code in the header and itworks fine on my work computer but my home computer I cant readthe pages...and othermembers cant read paes either. Buttheycan be sentjut fine. So basically the little pop that is supposed to happen and allow youto readthe message doesnt pop up.

[Trana]

Try putting it in the headinclude instead of header.
