VBJv | mEssenger v2.02

Vbulletin Java Messenger
v2: instant messenger for instant community.
Hello everyone, first i would like to point this to the 2 year old Hack

BB| Messenger 1.5 for VB 3.0.1

now this thread didn't have hardly any support, but after i waited for almost a year now for someone to port this over to the latest vb, i came accross it again a week ago and i said thats it its time for it to get ported, so i went to work going through all the scripts seeing whats needs to be changed

What is this?
this is a messenger for vbulletin that is in jave it uses the forum's user tables from your database to host the user system, so automaticly the users are signed up for the forum's messenger.

What i have to change?
templates - (1)

To install:
i have made the codes work where you upload the VBmessenger folder with in your forums folder, if you would like it else where you will have to edit a few lines which im not gonna go through right now.

upload the folder VBmessenger to your forum root
upload the php fiile marquee.php to the forum root as well

test to see if it works, it should work, if not and it says give VB ID number then go to forum/vbmessenger/sources/vbulletin_3.xx_plugin.php and on line 15 you will see this

$VAR["vbulletinlicenceid"]  = "";

enter your vbulletin id code "code goes here";
if you need help remembering or finding your vbulletin id code, then open up any vbulletin php file and at the top it gives you your id code

How To's
To edit the colours edit the css in the files in the Style folder.
so files:

• chatwindow.html.php
• messenger.html.php
• userbanned.html.php
• pleaselogin.html.php
• openmessenger.html.php

Makeing the marquee work right
you must update this in the marquee.php which is located at this point in your forum root

echo "<tr>\n";
    echo "<td width=\"$marquee_width\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px inset #000000; background-color: #4C6CA4\" onMouseover=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#607DAE';\" onMouseOut=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#4C6CA4';\">\n";
    echo "<font size=1 face=\"Verdana, Arial, sans-serif, Helvetica, Times\">\n";
    echo "<b><a href=\"http://domain.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=" . $latestthread['threadid'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['title'] . "</a></b><br>\n";
    echo "Started by: <a href=\"http://domain.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&username=" . $latestthread['postusername'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['postusername'] . "</a><br>\n";
    echo "Last Post by: <a href=\"http://domain.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&username=" . $latestthread['lastposter'] . "\" target='_blank'>" . $latestthread['lastposter'] . "</a><br>\n";
    echo $numreplies;
    echo "\n</font>\n";
    echo "</td>\n</tr>\n\n";

How to add instant popup link instead of going to the domain.com/vbmessenger/ index to open messenger
add the following java to the header:

<script language="Javascript1.3">
function launchbbm()
{
    s001 = window.open("index.php?func=m_frameset", "", "width=233, height=450, address=no, toolbar=no, status=yes");
    location.href="../index.php";
}

</script>

then where every you want your link add the link like this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="launchbbm()">your link</a>

or any other type of link you want be it a image or what main thing is that the link stops as:

href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="launchbbm()">

because thats calling the java.

You must add the javascript to the "headinclude" template for your forum, and you have to edit the code to reflect the proper path to your forum or else all you will get is your forum main page when you click the link.

Support and Help

I will try my best to help with anyone's problems but i can't offer full support im not extreamly good at codeing nor debugging, but i can try and help to my best.
i also don't mind if anyone helps fellow users with support that would be nice.
i tired to make the code as easy as possible to install with no bugs, the only thing you would need to change is probably on some boards maybe ur Vbulletin ID number thats about it, otherwise upload zip and enjoy


IF YOU USE THIS PLEAS DON'T FORGET THE MAGICAL BUTTON

i would like to give most props to the 2 users who made this in the first place

C.Birch and TomUK

TomUK is the original writer of this scripts for bb|messenger, he wrote it for his friend C.Birch who then later took it and made it work for vb, then after 2 years of complete no support i took it and made it into V2.0 to work with the new 3.6.1 Vbulletin, its a shame to see this project go down and lost like this its a great SIMPLE addon that is FULLY customizeable to all sites.
i have changed the name and i will work on a new style in a week or so after i get some other work done, if ANYONE would like to help with this project its would be very nice just pm me with ur changes/ your version i will take a look and update this thread and give some credit. as far as features go i have a big list of things i want to do to this, i just need someone to help in codeing the ideas.
in the original thread it was said that C. birch is no longer in charge of the script but it was not said who took over so i guess, i have now,
any questions feel free to ask

Updates

• v2.02 the code uses images that link read with /forum/ in it, i forgot to make thise read with ./ instead that way forums with the forum located at forums/ can also use this with no changes
• v2.01 i just added the final touch to the intergration code for 3.6, now this addon to your forum is THE EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD all you do it upload to forum root and start useing it, its that easy, the intergrator read your db and forum settings automaticly

Demo is hosted by user azn_romeo_4u at http://www.flyffworld.com/forums/vbmessenger/

You should be able to use the old file from the original package here, I will rewrite it later if anyone has problems installing this.There is a working version on my site, see sig below, you would need to register on site before using vBmessenger, did not want to use demo account as it is a live board. file needs to be uploaded here vbmessenger/sources/lib/

Thx Spikeman. It works good. There is few things though. Since I use firefox I noticed that that when you send new messege to person. First line will not appear to that user, it will only open his pop up. Second message will display fine. With IE there is no such problem. And it only applies to first message you send to someone.But if you are in the middle of conversation and you close that window, then send message again to the person you were chatting with it will not show first message again. All messages after that are fine.
Changing text color is also wrong with FF, but that is not that important.

And I am not sure why is contacts.php there, it is just a blank page.

i would like to see a picture of it to see what this is please....i don't want a demo just a screenshot please

You have screenshots for old version:

And I have to correct myself about that first message not showing up. I was using FF 2 beta that was released recently and it seems to be buggy. I installed back 1.5.0.7 and first message is ok. Color thing still stands though.

I guessed it would have been a bug I will look into the changing text colour, I rushed it all out there so users could get it working, it all needs cleaning up.

Not a big deal at all, I was glad to have this installed asap. I hope we'll see a lot of progress on this like other functions being activated etc. And thx again to all involved.

[Tyegurl]

blackwidow you are the best! so you all know, blackwidow took time away from moving servers to solve my problem. that was way beyond what i expected!

thanks so much for pointing out that if you have a portal you might have to update your image paths in order to see the install script.

[ztempuser]

your welcome tyegurl.
but you have gotten it wrong, if you have a portal and you would like to have the messenger redirct to the portal then you have to change a single path, is what i ment to say.
as for the forums forum that does not make a diffrence i just double looke the codes when helping tyegurl.
