Hi,

This is something that is common in IRC - /me is away

In BBs, a user is either online or offline (or invisible).

But, on my Bulletin Board, the folks created such a community that every time someone goes on a holiday or goes offline for a while, he/she posts a new thread to annouce they're 'away.

So, I wrote a hack allowing a user to change his/her status to "away", including a return date and an away reason which will show up in their profile.

Likewise, the online/offline icon in postbit and buddy list will change to an away icon (a very faded version of the 'offline' one).

Some demo captures:

The Edit Profile screen, when a user is NOT away:

The Edit Profile screen when a user IS away:

The Get Info (User Profile) screen when a user IS away:

The postbit icon when a user is away:

How to install:

Download the attached zip file. Upload away.gif to your images dir (or create your own away.gif).

Upload install_awayuser.php to your admin dir and follow the instructions.

Cheers,

Bira

I am very happy to announce that this hack works perfectly well with 2.2.7. I modified my initial posting accordingly.

In the modifyprofile_away template, there really isn't a need for this piece of code:

Code:

<option value="01" $year2001away>2001</option>

As you will not be returning in the past

In fact, if you could, it'd be a great feature if you disabled return dates in the past. If it's too hard I will totally understand, I'm just being picky. Great hack, I had a lot of problems with the original hack, this one works flawlessly though. Thanks for updating it!

Actually, I'm working on it.

Will take some time, though. Busy updating my own forums to 2.2.7 right now.

I can understand that. Moving over 70 hacks is a pain.

I've just applied the critical security patches so far, not sure if I will convert to 2.2.7 all the way yet, maybe just wait for v3

Installed it, and the away system works, however, when I click on a username I get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: dotimeonline() in /www/g/groove_salad/htdocs/forum/member.php on line 1412

how can I get this corrected?

Unknown553 · #**367** 09-02-2002, 12:54 AM

When I PM an away user I get the auto reply, but there are no contents inside the PM, it's just blank. I do have the priv_autoreply template too, I double checked....Ideas?

Does anyone have the away.gif?

I'm getting the following error within the member.php file:

Parse error: parse error in /home/gaming2/public_html/forums/member.php on line 1413

It's funny, because I tried to locate the line, but when opening the edit menu to search for this, the option was gray, meaning that I couldn't select it to see what was going on.

Um, let me see if this helps. Download the file from the server and when you open it in notepad it'll show all nicely organized. Does anybody know what the problem might be anyways?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
