Thanks to: brett (raiyan) for javascript loading idea, Kwik for time/select all idea, cal for telling me how to use regex in javascript.

thanks LK

I think the Netwerkin members like this hack better than any other...

Correct there X. Use it often. Very nice LK.

LK, isn't the .zip missing vars_wordlets_im.cgi? mainly because there is a call for it and its not there that i can see :x...

I put it in the multihack file so I forgot about the zip one

Fixed

, I don't like multihack's, I figure that if something doesn't work, better to blaime myself lol...

I agree, multihack is a great little proggy but it's nice to have a choice.

hmm, I don't think you understand what I mean, I mean that because I added the wordlets file to the MultiHack file I forgot to put that file in the ZIP file, not that I didn't want to

The multihack step for cp_wordlets.cgi needs to be adjusted, seems that the spacing in the base code is a bit different

Hi LK,

its a great hack

but my members complain about it

because the IM appear to them every time when they viewing my UBB

and they need to refresh the page to get rid of it

but in the last version of IM nobody complained

i think because you used javascript instead of ifram !!!!

im not expret in these things

can i have a solution

@LK, hey, i'm missing a comment like 'hey chris, thanks for the idea of the IM-thing you used to coded for 5.x *g* in the earlier times' i think it was my 'invention' bringing an IMfeature into an ubb... mhnn..

No, well, i think i'm gonna give it a try as soon as i made the upgrade.. i love the idea but i was too busy to finish that hack even for ubb.v5x :-/

shouts!

tiger - yes, that's why... if you wish, you can add the previous version again, then in ubb_checkmsg.cgi add:[code][/code]to somewhere in the beginning..

techno, I guess I could say that but because I've never used UBB 5.x I didn't know you made an IM hack

Awwe LK, you never used a 5.x? I think I have a zip here somewhere in my archives lol...

Since the Javascript is in the footer how long does it take for a user to get an IM that you've sent? Also, is there a setting where I can reset the refresh rate lower to say, 60 seconds?

In the IM instructions it states:

"FILES MODIFIED: public_common.pl, ubb_lib_files.cgi, ultimatebb.cgi,
cp_common.pl, cp_wordlets.cgi, ubb_lib.cgi, ultimatebb.php

Where are the modifications for - ubb_lib_files.cgi and ubb_lib.cgi?

LK didn't update the "Files Modified". He wants to keep us on our toes and such.

OOOOOh I see - just a little test.
Nice Hack - works great

Thanks

is it possible to make the IM sending only avaible for mods and admins ? but every user still can receive ims.

In Modification Settings in CP, there is 'Who can send IMs?' in the instant message part.
