- vB Pager Ignore List ?pop-up? window lists are used for those people who's messages you wish not recieve from.
- Received Pager Messages are Draggable Inline Popups.
- Sending a message opens up a small window where you can type in message to be sent.
- Optional Anonymity: you can choose to hide your username when paging another user on the forum, & define which Usergroup can utilize this option.
- 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 ?Inbox/Sent Items? member has, can be viewed and deleted.

Make sure you got your forum URL filled out and you are accessing the forum with the same url. See this post

As I said I have read the whole thread and checked and adjusted that allready.

But I think I have figured it out, you need to update your instructions Forum directory shoud be webroot forum path.

Thank you uae for the gr8 hack

am woundering, is there a change to add NEXT and Prev buttons to the popup window to read the next msg or get back to the prev one, as many times we reply to somthing and found out the next msg did not require our reply, or have to refresh the page to read the next..

Kind regards.

Treak · #**624** 03-10-2006, 05:44 AM

2. the avtars do not show up when paging each other..

When you update your IE with the optional Update KB912945, the vBPager-Popup is deactivated under a windows popup

This is a change because the EOLAS patent and it will be in all further cumultative patches of the IE and also in the IE 7 final.

It is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ng_activex.asp

What changes have I to make to get rid of this windows pop-up? As far as I understand, the function must be no embedded but an external call.

Any suggestions? Even if I uninstall the patch - it will be just a question of time when the problem pops up again.

Thank you for your support!

Regards

Johon

dsotmoon · #**626** 03-10-2006, 11:31 PM

can this be done?

usergroup #1 = vB Pager off by default

usergroup #2 = vB Pager on by default

or if not can I make it so all usergoups are OFF by default and they must select in their options to turn it on, I only want users subject to messages if they want them

gyankow · #**627** 03-11-2006, 03:51 AM

I'm looking to only allow moderators and above to see the page this user. Any help would be great.

Code:

<if condition="$vboptions['vbpager_active'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid']">

for example, but this does not work!

Code:

<if condition="$vboptions['vbactive'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid'] AND $userinfo[moderator]">

UAE, could you please have a look at my question.

But if they reply (and we ticked on the allowe reply box) they get a message that they are not allowed to use vb pager.

It was possible with the old vb pager vor vB 3.0.x, but I cant seem to figure it out for 3.5. Something I miss?

You are welcome sir

I like the idea, but I will need a time to figure that out and see if I can implement or not.

To turn pager off by default, you will need to run two quries.
First query, to make sure that all new registerd users should have pager off by default.
From phpMyAdmin, run this query:

Code:

ALTER TABLE user CHANGE pageroption pageroption SMALLINT( 6 ) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;

Now, let's do the same thing but for all existing users.
Run this query:

Code:

UPDATE user SET pageroption = 0;

Good Luck

Change x to your moderators or admin usegroups.

I'm sorry but I didn't get it!
you want to page some user while selecting allow reply, but you don't want them to reply and instead show an error message saying that they're not allowed to reply??
are trying to humiliate your users lol.
Why don't you just uncheck the allow to use reply from the usergroup permissions and never show allow reply option!

EasyTarget · #**631** 03-12-2006, 03:53 AM

I think what he's saying is that users can't respond to pager messages that they get from the admins because they don't have permission to use the system.

he would like it if anyone who gets sent a pager could reply to the pager message regardless if they're allowed to send a pager themselves.
