Coping with callbutton issues

admin — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 19:34:33 +0000

Unless you are using the old pre-transition callbuttons (which stopped working but then later became active again), your flirt-installed callbuttons do not change status when you change status. Code for those callbuttons is no longer distributed.

The link to callbutton code on your My Account page no longer is present. The link on our listings has not been coded, and if you click it the page ends up being refreshed. The only way to get current callbutton codes for your listings is to open a listing as if to edit it, submit twice without editing (unless you need to edit, of course), then click the link on the page that also has links to your account and help in getting started.

A callbutton whose code is obtained in this way while you were available is static code. It will always be set to available, though customers cannot complete a call by clicking it when you are unavailable. It will not send mail when you are Away.

I got this button while I was available:

A callbutton whose code was obtained while you were away is also static code. It is supposed to send mail, and cannot change to “taking calls”. But the server is left off the code, so it refers back to your own server, and actually can never do anything if you place it anywhere but on your Niteflirt page. And why would you need to do that? There already is a ‘send mail’ option on your pages.

I got this code while I was set to ‘Away’:

If someone were to try to click it to send me mail, the address it would try to send mail to is http://help4flirts.com/messages/compose?message%5Blisting_id%5D=5734291&message%5Brecipients_list%5D=Principal+Angela+Quattrano, which is definitely not a real email address.

With the pre-transition codes, both the image and your availability are controlled by the Niteflirt server, not by the button. So the image changes when your availability changes, as does what happens when the button is clicked.

This pre-transition callbutton displays my correct availability status:

I have changed the listing SID number to a series of x’s. Just substitute your listing SID number (found in the url of your listing).

Niteflirt upgrade most frequently asked questions

Q: Where is my callbutton? I can’t see my callbutton in my listing, I can’t see it in the category indexes! Nobody can call me, I won’t get any calls!

We have never been able to see our own callbuttons in our listings while logged in except in the ‘edit preview’ mode. Now we are also unable to see them in the category indexes. Everyone can see them but you. To see them, log off and look again. If you have another account, log into it and you will see it, too.

You can’t call yourself, so you don’t need a callbutton to click. That callbutton being missing from the category index makes it easier for you to find your listing’s position, too.

Q:I keep getting calls and missing them even though I’m on a call already!

The old call status used to go into ‘busy’ well in advance and stay that way. This one goes in at the last minute and comes out when the customer is adding money. Sometimes it doesn’t go into busy at all, or resets itself to available even if you are still on the call (and ultimately correctly credited).

The solution is simpler than the explanation. Shut off your account when you start a call, and it will stay off until the call has ended and you turn it back on.

Q: The new callbuttons don’t change from available when you take a call!

Nope, they don’t. This is a major issue, because the callbutton is static. The code they give you permanently reflects the status you were in when you took it. The system will put through calls to you if someone clicks a button that says you are “available” even if you actually are not, and you will miss them. Somebody messed up when they were designing the code. It is going to be a big deal for them to fix it.

The only thing you can do is to not use the callbuttons. Instead link to your homepage or to a listing you would want them to call. The callbuttons Niteflirt displays on your account will correctly show your account status. See that button in my sidebar? It is always live. I am on 24/7 and only flirts see this button, so it’s not a big deal for me.

Whatever you do, don’t put callbuttons into your listing! They will see buttons that say you are both unavailable and available and click the available one.

Q: I can’t tell what account or listing the call is coming in on!

Pick an account (I used a slow one) and add a listing from each of your accounts to your favorites. Keep that page open. When a call comes in, after you click ’1′, refresh the page until it shows one as ‘busy’.

Proflirts site down – callbutton script

admin — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 18:29:02 +0000

The original open source callbutton script was written by Mistress V and graciously provided free of charge on her Proflirts website. Since then it has been modified by Hypnotic Guy into a thing of remarkable versatility. However, the original is simpler and may meet the needs of most flirts.

I had heard rumors that there were some changes going on, so I saved the script package for download. I was disappointed to hear this week that the Proflirts site was down. But since I have the script, I can supply it here. I even added a little text file on how to make your button script, which used to be on the Proflirts blog.

Keep in mind that this is not a beginner project. You will need a website of your own, and you will need to be comfortable following instructions to edit files in Notepad, even though you may not understand exactly what it is that you are doing.

Right-click, save, and unzip.
