Support Can Not Be Given For This Hack

BB|Messenger is a user to user messenger system for vb3 that runs off your user database.

This hack as been made for my own forums and has not been tested on any other forums, so its very likely that errors might be found on other system set up's.

To Install:

upload all the files in the same way that they are in side the zip.

once all files are upload load the page http://www.yourdomain.com/bbmessenger/
note that the address before bbmessenger/ will be the path to the folder on your site.

Follow the install page and your all done.

The only other thing that needs doing is the editing of the address's in the marquee.php file that you upload to your forums root.

Find:

PHP Code:
 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://community.ultimate-music.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=" $latestthread['threadid'] . "\" target='_blank'>" $latestthread['title'] . "</a></b><br>\n";
    echo 
"Started by: <a href=\"http://community.ultimate-music.net/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&username=" $latestthread['postusername'] . "\" target='_blank'>" $latestthread['postusername'] . "</a><br>\n";
    echo 
"Last Post by: <a href=\"http://community.ultimate-music.net/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"
and edit it to meet your own needs.

User linking to the messenger

put a link anywhere you like on your forums linking to /bbmessenger/index.php

How To's

To edit the colours edit the css in the files in the style folder.

Support

Can not be given via my self due to work load please do not e-mail or pm asking for help in anyway because the reply will more and likely be no, this does not stop user's from helping each other with probs in this topic and if a fix or addon is made i will update the zip with it up on the asking of doing so.

Fix's

1) check your vBulletin cookies Prefix in vb's config file is set to bb like below:

// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = 'bb';

if not set it to the above, if setting it to the above gives you errors with other hacks follow the steps on page 3 for editing messengers cookie call's.

this fix's the login error.

2) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=164 Zip will get updated when next version is out.

vB Pager is completely different, as it's a Instant Messenger without any interface... you don't need one or the other to run these... and they can work together in the same install.

this BB Messenger is more like a ICQ for the board... vB Pager is more like a PM with a popup...

this hack does not need any editing of vb files or database. its got its own messenger interface and was first coded about a year ago for vb2 along with support for vb3 beta and ipb and was let to be posted in the vb2 forums due to the fact the vb3 support made no edits to vb3 in anyway.

anyway vb pager is just basicy still a pm system apart from the fact the pm now shows up in a pop up. messenger gives your users live person to person chat with muti chats open at once eg like you can with ice, yahoo & msn and that.

also you dont need to reinstall this everytime you update your vb again due to the fact no edits to vb are made.

also due to the fact its stand alone and just use's vb's userdata base you dont need to have the forums open they my be closed because all you need open is the messenger interface.

it also tell's you if you have new pm's and also lets you send offline buddys pm's via clicking on there name on the buddy part of the messenger.

hum.. i just had an idea about the system...

we had the idea to have a specific version modified t obe a Live Support... BUT!

why not having a specific block instead, displaying the admins/mods online ?!... replacing the New Threads with that one... would make it!

Very sweet. Installed perfectly. Thank you. A couple of questions/suggestions if you don't mind.
  1. Can you tell me how to make the link from the forums popup the messenger directly instead of going to the "bbmessenger/index.php" file first?
  2. Can you add an option to ask the user when they come to the forum if they want to run the BB Messenger?
  3. If the answer to #2 is "yes" can it have an "On/Off" option in the ACP and the UserCP?
  4. Can this messenger be expanded to act like a chatroom in addition to a one-on-one chat?
  5. Is there a way to have the forum not show users as online if they are only running the messenger? I have users showing up as online when they goto my site and load the messenger and then close the site. It is misleading.
