Seems like a basic modification but I like it. However how do I make the Chatbox appear on the top in the main forum homepage?
At the moment its appearing on the bottom.
I am not able to get the date to display when a msg is posted. The time shows up, but no date.
How can I correct this issue?
Thanks

being new to vb I thought I'd install this mod, and I got to say it's fantastic :), at first I thought I'd never be able to do but with the clear instructions given I had it set up in 20 mins :)

is it possible to forbid using only certain bb codes on chatbox? like size, quotes, perhaps certain colors etc.?

Now marked as uninstalled as I have upgraded to vB 3.7 and have installed to 3.7 version of this instead.
Note to anyone upgrading to 3.7, you MUST upgrade the chatbox as the 3.6 version is totally incompatible with 3.7. Dream's done a new version in the 3.7 mods section.

I cant find " <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>" in my template, is it supposed to be something else?
I cannot find it either. Any help would be great.

Here's the chatbox on my site:
http://www.darkportals.com/forum
I have installed this and it is working good, but I have a couple questions.
How do i set these items up?
- Who's Online Support
- User names linked and colored with their user group colors
Also is there a way to space out the messages a bit. Once people get posting message it starts to look a little bit like a cluttered mess and is hard to read. If I could just space the posts a cenameter or two it would be easier to read everyones messages.
thanks.
Also has anyone altered the default message for usersgroups who don't have permissions to use the chatbox?
You don't have permission to see the Chatbox.
I would like to edit this if possible.

Installed, and it's working. :up:
Though, there is no smilie box nor the setting to change font color and size.
Also, I only have one option in the AdminCP Chatbox menu: "Delete Messages". No other options.
What's wrong? :confused:
JeTBoy
03-26-2008, 04:41 PM
It's fine after all.
Figured it out. Other options are accessed under vBulletin Options > Chatbox Options menu. :)

I have problems with the option Auto Parse URLs?
The option Allow BBCode? is also on.
When i put some link adres in the chatbox then the autom. Parse works fine.
But after 1 a 2 minutes you can not click on this link anymore.
The chatbox put also the tag [url] ..[ /url] before and after this link so you will see this [url]Http://some-name.nl[/ url] and the link are not clickable anymore ??
Can i do something that this will work fine ??

sorry it seems to be a problem with that option. I'm not developing this mod anymore, but it can be easily changed in chatbox.php.

Hey everyone, I'm getting the following problem:
I uploaded all the files, did the whole setup and the chatbox works like it says. However, the chatbox logs the user out. As admin, I don't have a problem on my computer, but many others are telling me that the chatbox logs off. I mean, they are still "logged in" on the forum, but the chatbox area dissapears saying they have been logged off even though they are still logged in. Is this a chatbox problem or something else?

Ok I got 1 issue here on my VBAdvanced. I just installed a vbadvanced to make it my homepage:
http://philippinebasketball.net
Notice that on the homepage, the "chatbox" button on the main menu is not working. It is working on the http://philippinebasketball.net/forum page though.
Maybe some script fixing?

The link is wrong. It just links you back to the "forum/#". It should say "/forum/chatbox.php" or something to the like.

Thanks for the mod!
Is there a way to have it show up on the home page and one specific thread or board?
The instructions for it to show on the home page are included in the zip file.
For the chatbox to show on a thread or a particular forum, you would need template conditionals, but I'm not sure which ones you would need. You can try to ask for help on this forum (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=111).
Did anyone figure out how to show the chatbox on a particular forum? I couldn't find in anyone asked about it in the forum that Dream linked to.

Ok here is the situation. I had Dream's chatbox install on my forum before. Something went wrong where it stopped working. So I started to move things around and I can't get the chatbox to work. I uninstalled it and re installed it and still no go. So what am I doing wrong? or am I missing a file to make i work?
It shows fine on my forum. Installation was a breeze but when it comes to sending a post it doesn't do anything. To see what I mean go to here:
http://www.clubmustangempire.com/forums/forum.php
Try and post anything on the chatbox and see what I mean.
Please help this is very frustrating.....
