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.

Ok, never mind.. the image and info is there in the template is just that if you look at your own profile you wont see it... so far this is the best pager around congratulations uae

One last thing... how can I make the little "Allow Reply" box to be checked by default... I know this must be exremely easy right... thanks in advance...

How did you get it to work, and we didn't? LOL. Can you see the VbPager options in the admincp??? I'm not sure why that is not showing, what file makes that appear?

in the installation you need to make the changes to the admincp/index.php files... unless you edit that file, you wont see the menu in your admincp

[docvader]

I see the menu in the admin cp; that's not the problem. Two items are there in that litle menu section, one is vbpager options, the other is the messages list. The vbpager options section does not show (it calls to ./options.php, which we don't edit in this install), the messages list section does (it does not call to ./options.php). So, I'm a bit bewildered at this. I have all the phrases in my phrase manager, the three templates were transcribed, the file edits have all been done (for the fifth or so time), but I can't seem to get the vbpager options showing in the admin cp. Which is what the other guys (twindad and drjamal) seem to be having problems with.

Any ideas Polo?? You've got an elaborate forum man, I have no doubt that you can figure this out. What did you do differently than the rest of us?

Thanks!

It seems to be one of a couple of possible issues, Rich - and I am not certain which one it is.

My assumption is that it is either table prefixes or a conflict with another mod. I use prefixes and have a heavily modified board. I tried it on a plain vanilla test board and got it to work, but with the same issues Polo is now bringing up.

Once I started adding mods, the board locked up. The odd thing is that I added a mod at a time until I had DB issues, then removed the last mod. I still got the DB issues. I double and triple checked the coding, even restoring the files I just modified and still I had the problems. This leads me to believe that the root issue is in DB changes. But, as we all know, a vB database is a rather large creature and I don't have all the time in the world to figure out where things are breaking.

[docvader]

I'm not sure it would be a conflict with another mod, I"ve got a bunch of hacks on my board, and they all peacefully coexist with each other. Why this one shouldn't, with relatively minor file edits, is beyond me. I think that your idea of the table prefixes is a good one; but, I agree, I wouldn't be delving into that monster either.

Sure hope Uae figures this out. It looks like it could be an awesome hack to have. I'll leave it "installed" for now....

(The installer that was provided with this hack was by far, very pretty, and well thought out, but, most definitely hard to work with when going back to reinstall and evaluate. In my opinion, simple text files are much easier to deal with when doing template and file edits).

Can't wait for full version for this!

in the TEMPLATE vbpager FIND

 
<input class="button" type="checkbox" id="pager_reply" name="usercanreply" value="1">$vbphrase[vbpager_allow_reply]</label>

Replace it with

 
<input class="button" type="checkbox" id="pager_reply" name="usercanreply" value="1" checked>$vbphrase[vbpager_allow_reply]</label>
