Hi,

This is something that is common in IRC - /me is away

In BBs, a user is either online or offline (or invisible).

But, on my Bulletin Board, the folks created such a community that every time someone goes on a holiday or goes offline for a while, he/she posts a new thread to annouce they're 'away.

So, I wrote a hack allowing a user to change his/her status to "away", including a return date and an away reason which will show up in their profile.

Likewise, the online/offline icon in postbit and buddy list will change to an away icon (a very faded version of the 'offline' one).

Some demo captures:

The Edit Profile screen, when a user is NOT away:

The Edit Profile screen when a user IS away:

The Get Info (User Profile) screen when a user IS away:

The Get Info (User Profile) screen when a user is NOT away:

The postbit icon when a user is away:

How to install:

Download the attached zip file. Upload away.gif to your images dir (or create your own away.gif).

Upload install_awayuser.php to your admin dir and follow the instructions.

Cheers,

Bira

ok, try this:

change:

Code:

  if ($awaydate!="") {
    $awaydate="UNIX_TIMESTAMP('".addslashes($awaydate)."')";
  } else {
  	$awaydate="";
  }

to

Code:

  if ($awaydate!="") {
    $awaydate="UNIX_TIMESTAMP('".addslashes($awaydate)."')";
  } else {
  	$awaydate="[high]''[/high]";
  }

And

awaydate='$awaydate'

to

awaydate=$awaydate

She's A-OK.

Thanks again.

SirSteve,

It's in admin/user.php

Don't know if you added the Admin CP add-on or not. If you did, just open it and make sure the code looks like that.

if you didn't have any problems in the user Admin CP page nor any errors, then most likely you don't need to change anything.

Cheers,

Bira

I get this
Parse error: parse error in /home/web+++++/public_html/XXXX/admin/install_awayuser.php on line 488

bira · #68 12-11-2001, 07:53 PM

sorry, my bad. Download the zip file again (from the first post)

[QUOTE]Do you have the normal Online/Offline status icons showing in your postbit template? Do you have the setting for those turned ON in your vBulletin Options??

OK,

I'm going to upload a new installer, which includes:

1) 'Away' auto-cancel when a user posts (optional)
2) Auto-reply to PMs while away (optional)
3) 'Away' details editable in the user's page in Admin CP

If you haven't installed the hack yet, then ignore this post and simply download the zip from the first post

If you already installed the hack, here's what you need to do to add the Admin CP bit:

Open admin/user.php

Find:

Code:

$user=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT *,FROM_UNIXTIME(joindate) AS joindate,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastvisit) AS lastvisit,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastactivity) AS lastactivity,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastpost) AS lastpost,

Change to (changes marked in high):

Code:

$user=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT *,FROM_UNIXTIME(joindate) AS joindate,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastvisit) AS lastvisit,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastactivity) AS lastactivity,FROM_UNIXTIME(lastpost) AS lastpost,[high]FROM_UNIXTIME(awaydate) AS awaydate,[/high]

Find:

Code:

makeinputcode("IP Address","aipaddress",$user[ipaddress]);

AFTER it ADD:

PHP Code:

// Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.0) maketableheader("Away Status"); makeyesnocode("User is away?","away",$user[away]); makeinputcode("Away since<br>(Format yyyy-mm-dd)","awaydate",$user[awaydate]); makeinputcode("Return date<br>(Format yyyy-mm-dd)","returndate",$user[returndate]); makeinputcode("Away reason","awayreason",$user[awayreason]); // Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.0)

Find:

Code:

if ($posts=="") { $posts=0; }

BEFORE it ADD:

PHP Code:

// Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.0) if ($awaydate!="") { $awaydate="UNIX_TIMESTAMP('".addslashes($awaydate)."')"; } else { $awaydate=""; } // Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.0)

Find:

Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='$birthday'

Change to (changes marked in high):

Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET [high]away=$away,awaydate=$awaydate,returndate='$returndate',awayreason='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($awayreason))."',[/high]birthday='$birthday'

Save and upload.
