  • Received Pager Messages are Draggable Inline Popups.

  • Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages ?Inbox/Sent Items? member has, can be viewed and deleted.

If you look into your navbar template, You Can't tell if you have that edit duplicated?
It should be:

In the template: navbar
FIND

			<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

BELOW ADD

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.1' 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='3.0.1' CHANGEID= 3 ] -->

Well' you can run this query if you want to enbale the sound notification for all members!
See this post

[NuclioN]

Sound enabled in usercp and in vb options but ... no sound

This may seem a dumb question, but I have searched and read through and I'm not clear how this actually works in tmies of when it checks for and pops up messages.

In the description it says:

"# vB Pager AJAX Check Period control.
# vB Pager Display Window Refresh Period control ."

So, does this mean that a refresh takes place (Ajax) to check for new messages on the server, or does a complete page refresh occur? Does it also check when you load a new page? Can you switch the Ajax refresh off completely so it only happens when you change pages/refresh manually?

What does "vB Pager Display Window Refresh Period control" mean?

Thanks in advance!

I just installed the pager but I'm using opera too, so there had to be a solution.

I added an if condition to the PAGER template below

else if (w3)
	{
		documentWidth=self.innerWidth/2+window.pageXOffset-20;
		documentHeight=self.innerHeight/2+window.pageYOffset-20;
	}

if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("opera") != -1) 
{
	documentWidth=self.innerWidth/2+window.pageXOffset-20;
	documentHeight=self.innerHeight/2+window.pageYOffset-20;
}

This is working for me - I tried it also with 'Identify as IE' within opera which was working too...

The problem is that

var ie=(document.all);

is true for opera but

if (ie)
	{
		documentWidth  =truebody().offsetWidth/2+truebody().scrollLeft-20;
		documentHeight =truebody().offsetHeight/2+truebody().scrollTop-50;
	}

doesn't work with the browser...

uae,

Voted on this for HotM.

I have a recurrent problem with members who advertise through PM and who will certainly do the same with vBPager. When a spam-like PM is reported to me, I usually warn the user with a copy of that PM (I've installed one of the read-PM hacks). Do you plan on adding an admin option to read the users' messages?

Thx

[PJSkiboy]

I just installed this and i'm having some fairly major issues.

1. I have no way of editing the permissions for any of this. In your one picture you show the vb pager permissions at the bottom of the usergroups manager screen. I get none of those options.

2. My entire forum is repeating at the bottom of my footer. And it's repeating at only half the width?????

I'll keep looking through it all to see if I screwed up the template modifications, but I've done so already and haven't found it yet. I'll go through it again though.
