Advanced Instant Message Box 2.1
Jan 7th, 2004 at 7:58am
Print Post  
It's time to get the new ImBox out now. I've tested it a lot this time and if you still find bugs you can keep them! Grin

Please notice that i've rewrote some routines for saving the ims in the old order. so if you used already an old imbox mod you have to upload the convert.pl and run it once!!!!!! if you install imbox mod the first time please don't use that file!!!!!!

If i've done it right it should now be compatible with Attachment mod and the Instantmessage.pl does already have the Advanced System Emails code built in. So you just have to overwrite your old instantmessage.pl without replacing the code again.

Shocked

Woohoo, late Christmas present, fantastic news! I've been using the older version for ages. I can't wait to try it out. Just need to check on compatibility issues with the other mods and test it out. Thank you! Grin

this would be interesting for me too. I tried to make it compatible to some more mods again. But since i have no internet at home atm i could not test much mods with ImBox 2.1. But those i tested had no problems (on install).

Thank you docda!
I hope this resolves that mysterious bug that deletes all messages in the inbox. Any attention to that specifically?

I look forward to testing it.

Uninstalling the first version was more difficult than installing this one. Wink

Failed at one step, 20, caused by the search update mod, which added a highlight tag and something else into the yabbc stuff. I remember having that with the first one as well.

Ran convert.pl and first got a cgi config error, changed chmod to 755 instead of 777 and it worked fine then. No problems at all. I did have my own AMMpatch mod which adds the functionality to IM membergroups from the Admin area, will attach that for you.

List of all my mods to date which there seems to be no conflict with on my test board:

Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\quiz.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\MemberMap_sp13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\yams402_sp13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\yams_402_map_addon.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\RefererControl_SP1.3.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\extended_profiles_v12_sp13_YaMS-compatible.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\move_board_sp13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\print_who_is_online_sp13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\BackupCenterB9SP13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\yabb_SP1.3.1_upgrade.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\mbc2_sp13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\recycle_bin.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\greetplus_v_1_0a.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\addsmilies2_sp13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\rebuild_index_SP13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\rebuild_index_recycle_patch.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\search_update_SP13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\search_log_SP13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\search_color_options_update.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\SplitSplice_1_SP13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\img_tag_bugfix.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\chatirc.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\who_is_on_IRCChat.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\Polls_3_SP13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\mbco2_polls_patch.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\amm_sp131_15.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\advanced_registration_options_2_sp1.3.1.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\report_to_moderator_sp.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\advanced_imbox_2_sp13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\amm_patch.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\quick_reply_box_13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\notify_once_2d_sp12-13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\ManageNotificationsSP1_3.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\Smiley_Themes_SP13.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\UserMoreMembergroups4_for_AMM_and_YaMS_modified.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\newcalendar3_7a_SP_1_3.mod
Yabb 1 Gold - SP 1.3\uplava_14beta.mod

There was also a previous version conflict with  NotifyOnce over a variable, enablenotifications or something like that. I'm too tired to go look at it right now. There was a fix, I'll test tomorrow to see if I need it.

I do however have a custom color nightmare on my hands as my new IM screen is all white with white text. Why on earth did I ever get so radical with my color changes? Roll Eyes Until I fix that, I can't put it on the main site for real use. A week or more.

Great job though. Thanks. Smiley

Pardon my coding illiteracy, but I have a couple of questions before I go ahead and upgrade to AIMB 2.1:

How does one "run" the convert.pl? Is it done via the admin center?

And about amm_patch.mod is there a major incompatibility with AIMB 2.1 and the amm_sp131_15.mod to where this patch is needed?

Thanks

Errm read the mod history and begin from bottom with 1.0 Grin
It does actually change the most of the Instant Message System.

Hmm whisper68 you seem to have the wrong mod attached then. it looks like it's patching some code for the im display. Also there's already an IM Membergroups in the Admin Panel with AIMB.

No you have to start it manually via your browser adress line.

Oh sorry, I couldn't quite remember why I had it patched and I'd been up 40 some hours most of which modding my boards, I could barely see straight. Wink Without the patch, the IM Membergroups does not work, it gave an error so I ran the patch and it fixed it again. I guess I was daft thinking AMM had added the link. Roll Eyes

A thought here, I have fixed the old DropDown IM mod from SP1 to work with this, I can post it if you're interested in working it in or adding it to the zip. Smiley

Just copy the lines that you do have into the mod file step (carefully) to replace the original text it's looking for. Smiley

Just to be real clear on this, this 'convert' file is to be run if you have a board currently running with members, etc.?

In my case, I am upgrading from 1.1 to 1.3 YaBB, the new board does not have the old messages and such yet. After I move the messages over, I should run this file, yes?

@ms_ukyankee  - Thank you for your initial tips on installing this, that saved me a lot of time. Although, I didn't have the step 20 problem, I did have a problem on the last step of the uninstall of 2.0 with Printpage.pl due to the search mod AND mediaplayer. Anyway, thanks again!   Smiley
