UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Icu 0.9

Hi there,

because we do have sometimes more than 30 users online and they's like to chat with each other without using the PrivateMessage or ICQ, I just installed a little Mod called 'ICU': It's based on the CYMPH1.5 and is some sort of 30second-refresh-Chat. Well, it's nearly the same like the PrivateMessage but without icons, without a message (the subject IS the message) and I'm going to use it via an auto-refresh JavaScript-PopUp. The messages are stored in an own folder and the send/receive-html-Pages are very simple. So, if you'd like to check it (it's just a beta I coded yesterday), drop me an EMAIL ([email protected]) and I'll send you a testaccount.

I'm also going to include a check-routine (like the privateMessage-Check) in Ultimate.cgi so the ICU-window appears if you have NEW 'messages' there.

I'm sure that this hack will increase the traffic on my site and is an very attractive feature, like a board-internal ICQ Some users who tested it some minutes ago LOVE it...

Thanks for the PrivateMessageHack, I hope that noone is angry that I used it for 'ICU'

Hihi, i installed the 'Icu 0.9' 2day and the database seemed to explode - the users love it, although it's really simple to use and it has no features like smilies, the codebuttons or whatever. just a simple text-base-talk, based on the privateMessageSystem with an auto-refresh...
You might give it a try? The instructions: go to my site, open the forum by klicking on the 'black man', then klick on the 'ICU'-textButton right after the 'online.gif". A new PopUp will appear. Left (neue ..) you can write yourself a new test-message, on the right you can have a look at your Inbox. To reply just klick on the message

Hmm..sounds like one very interesting hack you've created there techno. This would probably make a great addition to those larger ubbs out there, who ususally have 10 or more online members. Great work!

Is this creating a cgi page every time to hold the message? If so your isp is going to shoot you..LOL

Just Curious..

Is this available for download somewhere?

it's not yet available - the ICUversion i created is in german language only and there's a little bug: when replying to a user you have to type in his username again, so i have to make some changes to the script; as well i'm going to include a routine which checks for new ICUs (since last login); I'd also like to include a cgi.routine to my who's-online.cgi so you may send the users a message by klicking on a special button @ the who'sOnline-List. as you see, this is just a beta - in case that more users from ubbdev.com are interested in, i'm going to finish it very soon - otherwise it stays a beta, because it's just a little hack i wrote for my own and i'm not really into perl/cgi-scripting: so version1.0 would be some hard work for me let me know what u think about it..!
best regards,
