User Away Messages

[ Feature Description ]
This hack allows users to easily set themselves as away via the Edit Profile page. An optional away message can be added along with the away status. Away messages are viewable at the top of the user profile (by the avatar/user picture). If a post is made when a user is in away mode, the user is automatically set off away mode.

[ Hack Concept ]
Credits to bira for making the original away message hack for vBulletin 2. This is a complete remake however.

[ Future Plans ]

• Show away status in postbit. (If you want, you can add this right now by using an xhtml conditional ($bbuserinfo[awaystatus] == 1)).

</fieldset>
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table><br />

then you say

[EDIT TEMPLATE MEMBERINFO]

then more how do you edit these templates?

[womensden]

Go into your Admin Control Panel --> Styles and Templates (on the left) --> Style Manager-->

Click on the button to the right that looks like this --- [<< >>].

The templates will be shown on that page. Find the template you want to edit and open it --> then edit.

[womensden]

How about adding something in the postbit to show when a user is away? For instance a small image or something? Maybe near the "online" light?

--I really like how it takes the away message when a post is made by the "away" user.

[Starsurfer]

Its on the first post but where do you implement it?

[Sir_Yaro]

Click install

btw. change content of "userawaynopm" phrase to:

<u><b>Attention : </b></u> Your PM cannot be send to its intended recipients.<br>User <b>$user[username]</b> is away since the $awaysincedate.<br>
User leave message - <b>$user[awaymessage]</b><br>
Expected return date was $awayuntilmsg.<br>Your PM was not delivered to  <b>$user[username]</b>.

it looks better

[RGSMDNR]

[ OD is away since - ]
Reason:

thats all it says?

[SHANE-D-PAIN]

Have you ran the SQL Query at the top of vb3 userawaymessages install.txt, that should add the phrases, if so then check through all the file edits, works fine for me!
