Major Additions - [AJAX] EWT Chat 3.0.1 Lite [Archive]

eXtremeTim

04-20-2007, 10:00 PM

This is a php/mySQL powered chat system.

EWT Chat 3.0.0 Lite Changes
-Complete Recode
-Enhanced ajax which performs much faster and should allow for an additional load of 500% compared to the last release of 2.9.x
-Many changes to everything
-Remove private message system for now
-Remove /cmds besides /me for now

EWT Chat 3.0.01 Lite Changes
-Redid layout and javascript for planned changes to the pro side and to make things look cleaner.
-fixed various little things.

Whats the difference between pro and lite?
Lite:
The lite version supports only one chat room with no ability to create custom rooms.
It doesnt have any user preferences anymore either.
Basic yet functional chatroom without advanced features

Pro: (Still being developed)
Ability to create custom and private rooms
Plus many more things soon to come.

I think this release fixes every reported bug that I have read about.

Version 2.9.x to 3.0.0 Upgrade Steps:
Upload all the files
Upload the product file
Delete any old files from the previous versions
Disable the minichat addon if you have it for now as it wont work with v3 just yet until I release an updated version.
Open up the fresh install readme and follow the steps for editing ajax_chat.php (just a few settings I didnt feel we needed to use a query for)

2.9.1 to 2.9.2 Upgrade Steps:
Open up template navbar find:

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>
Replace with:

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php?$session[sessionurl]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>
Demo:
http://www.extremewebtech.com/forums/chat.php
User/Password: test2323 / test2323

Please if you use this hack click install and feel free to donate to help support the future development of this system.

V3 is a highlight release for this product as it runs and performs much faster then ever before and can now handle a considerable amt of load.

This chat script should technically be able to support 1k+ users on a good high end server.

Thanks for porting the greatest chat hack ever to 3.6, Tim. And thanks to Zero Tolerance for the original code as well. I have been waiting for this sucker and now it's finally here! :D

I'm also the co-author and a supporter of this hack so if you have any other suggestions or ideas on your mind to make this hack even better, feel free to share them below.

Is this a port of vBChat from ZT?

nevermind I read the thread

Right now its a rough port of that code it looks like.

Yes, it is a port of vBChat by ZT but Tim and I are going to add a couple of new major features and additions to this hack so stay tuned. ;)

04-21-2007, 12:16 AM

Cool.

Working fine so far, but smilies and bbcode are not parsing for me.

JamieLee2k

04-21-2007, 12:16 AM

ok so there are so many people raving about this chat, what makes it sooooo good?

Snake

04-21-2007, 12:21 AM

Cool.

Working fine so far, but smilies and bbcode are not parsing for me. Yeah I have noticed that already though HTML codes seems to be parsing just fine. I'll look into that soon and inform Tim about it.

ok so there are so many people raving about this chat, what makes it sooooo good? Because there aren't any good chat rooms out there for vBulletin and the fact that vBChat is definitely much better to use than vBShout. How come, you ask? Because of the server loads and all? Haven't you heard or read the complains about that hack lately?

Dream

04-21-2007, 12:25 AM

You need custom WOL (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82882) location too.

Snake

04-21-2007, 12:29 AM

Why's that? Are you saying it doesn't show up whether you're in the chat room or not while viewing the online list?

Dream

04-21-2007, 12:34 AM

Yeah Who's Online shows unknown location.

Also adding WOL support would be useful if someone wants to release a "who's chatting" mod.

Snake

04-21-2007, 12:37 AM

Alright, I'll take a note about that and fix it. I'm not sure about the "Who's Chatting" feature but I'll mention that to Tim. It's all up to him, you know.

Dream

04-21-2007, 12:49 AM

No problem. I'm not asking for a "who's chatting" feature, I might do it myself.

The install.txt file has some issues, it says "Step 4" when there are no steps 3/2/1, also it doesn't say that you have to upload the files, just a heads up, you'll get support questions on that in no time.

Ok got it installed backend seems to work but when I got to the URL I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/stuntusa/public_html/forums/vBChat.php on line 224

You can also see the error here http://www.stuntusa.com/forums/vBChat.php?

I must have missed something simple as I have installed lots of mods, any ideas what I might have missed?
Are you sure that you uploaded all the new files?

Whos chatting will be coming soon. Right now I didnt spend the time to make it since I am going to release it as an addon for those who wish to use it.

Html parsing was fixed before the hack was ever released. The bbcode and smilies is my bad I forgot to setup the new bbcode parser stuff for 3.6.

04-21-2007, 02:30 AM

The easiest hack I've ever installed ... *CLICKS INSTALL* I think I am going to like vB3 a lot more then vB2. One quick question though.

How do I delete "Default Room" ? I can't find an option to do so. Or How I edit it's name?

I couldn't find it in the admincp or the main options.

Thanks again for the amazing hack.

Edit: I was also wondering if you could tell me how to make it so I can restrict each room to different user groups? It doesn't have to be coded amazingly. Just a basic way of doing it. (I don't need it as an option on the user groups, if I could just put it in the hard code that would work.)

Ok so I noticed on the demo site that you have the shoutbox installed and the chat? I assume that is ok having both installed at the same time? I hope it is I'm downloading this and waiting for a reply to install....

I have installed the chat and everything is perfect except: I am not getting your image, (powered by VB Chat in the room and the smiles are not imaging in the board and all of the BB codes are activated. Could I have forgot something? I know that I uploaded the image, I uploaded to: /images/misc ! Was that the right place to put it?

I am currently looking for people who have some free time tonight and would like to help me test and work on v2.6. Since I am working on it right now to get rid of the page reload using ajax.

If you are interested show up in the chat demo and let me know. Since I am currently using the demo as my dev site.

eXtremeTim

04-21-2007, 06:11 AM

This is the file I have so far of 2.6 where I have fixed a few issues already such as the smilies and bbcode not parsing.

eXtremeTim

04-21-2007, 06:49 AM

The demo site may be going down for a while as I am contemplating moving it over to ajax in a bit.

Right now I am hard at work cleaning up the core of the system to optimize it and get things running smoother.

Great Job, dude

1- how about adding an option that can let the admin to choose which group can create a new room and who can't , it will be great

2- an option that can allow the admin to turn on and off the private msgin

thanx alot

wizardan

04-21-2007, 10:54 AM

Installed.
Minimal issues. Most are likely to be because of my heavily hacked and styled board.
Would love to see the chat template centered in some way, as opposed the the full page view now.
Stunning work, eXtreme:)

auctionguy

04-21-2007, 01:24 PM

I have worked everything out but I cannot get the smiles to work!! I notice that the smiles in your test board do not work either, is this a bug?? And yes, everything is activated and installed correctly!!

Ryloth

04-21-2007, 01:35 PM

How about the ability to set usergroup access?

For example:
I don't want Registered Users (Primary Usergroup) to have access but I want my VIP Members(Secondary Usergroup) to have access. And deny permissions to other Usergroups as right now all usergroups have access and the "usergroup banning" is not in the AdminCP.

Also, set the ability for only Admins to create rooms and the ability to rename the "default" room.

Oh, INSTALLED

Staxed

04-21-2007, 01:37 PM

two questions....

I never used the vbchat by ZT because of the server load issues i always heard about...does this version fix the server load issues?

Also...where is the link to the shoutbox that works with this? (i don't see it in 3.6 forums...but i may be blind)...you don't have to answer this question...but i thought i'd ask since you said you had it installed :D

How about the ability to set usergroup access?

For example:
I don't want Registered Users (Primary Usergroup) to have access but I want my VIP Members(Secondary Usergroup) to have access. Right now I can't prevent any usergroup access, its not in the AdminCP.

Also how about the ability to create permanent rooms and password protect one if needed?

Most of that is already planned. :)

I am already hard at work on optimizing the load issues to make this hack server friendly.

Ryloth

04-21-2007, 02:20 PM

I see in your code right now you have usergroup control over creating new rooms and a usergroup column in the DB but no interface in the CP to impliment. can a quick patch for that be released? this way, yea, all people can access it but i wont have 16K members creating their own chat rooms. only the vips.

if not, how can i serialize a usergroup value for that column so i can just go into my database and add it?

eXtremeTim

04-21-2007, 02:42 PM

I am currently working hard to move the chat system over to using the vbulletin options and usergroup controls instead of its custom system to free up 2-3 queries per page load. Thus why I have the usergroup stuff disabled right now. Since i never finished porting it since I was remaking it.

Ryloth

04-21-2007, 03:42 PM

sounds good. any idea of when the next release would be? i have this installed on my board, but turned off pending usergroup release.

BadgerDog

04-21-2007, 08:55 PM

Is there any way to be able to "open" and "close" the chat box as an option?

In your demo area, it seems to be opened at the top of the forum all the time? I can't see how to close it up?

Thanks

The box at the top of my forum is the shoutbox hack. It is different then the chat hack.

I cannot get the smiles to work in my 3.6.5 . Will there be updates to that function in the new updates coming or what could be wrong?

I released part of v2.6 on page 2 that has that fix and others in it.

04-22-2007, 10:42 PM

Found bugs (installed 2.6 for testing temporary)
-random smilies doesn't show up even if option is correctly set to "yes" and 10 random smilies are selected to display. Sometimes one smilie for selection shows up, but sometimes none not depending on how much smilies are specified to show up.

-If the chat is quitted by closing the browserwindow, a little popup begins permanently to appear and disappear and another person in the chat sees thousand messages about "X has entered the room" and "X has leaved the room".
Only if the little window is also closed (sometimes really difficult because it blinks permanently) the chat is finally closed.
I tested with newest Firefox. Other things seems to work fine.
I can finally install it, if those major bugs has been fixed.

2:How Can I Make It That Administrators And Moderators Are Not Displayed In Whos Online And In The Chat Room. So There Like Invisible???

3:How Can I Change Everything From Saying Vbchat lol

4: can i remove the logo but keep the copyright at the bottom of vbchat?

5: How Can I Remove The Big Ugly Space At The Bottom Like Here Is A Example

< where you insert you message>

Ryloth

04-24-2007, 10:21 PM

it doesn't have to be his product that you installed before. it could have been an old install of flashchat or vbchat etc. i am a double ms certified dba. his queries are sound. if you have these tables and columns already existing and you try to re-create the same table, mysql will throw the error u r seeing plain and simple. go into your database, delete the two vbchat tables and the 3 vbchat columns in the user table and re-install.

he could easily drop those tables/columns programatically but then people would complain about losing data. he could also run if exists in sysobjects (sql sorry) then alter instead of create object.

04-24-2007, 10:56 PM

hey tim, here is where the fun starts. i removed all database entries, overwrote all files on my server w/ the files in your download, uploaded a new product using your xml.... and i only see these options in my admin cp:

404 Not Found
The requested URL /board/vBChat.php? does not exist.

nevertheless its there... its in the root of my board, which is on /board

Am I doing something wrong?

Hello,

I have unistalled the product. But later on I changed my mind and want to install it again. But in some how it gave me this error message while uploading the xml file from plugins.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.5:
Invalid SQL:
CREATE TABLE `vbchat_store` (
`sid` int(15) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`s_postby` int(15) NOT NULL default '0',

`s_foruser` int(15) not null default '0',

) TYPE=MyISAM;;
MySQL Error : Table 'vbchat_store' already exists

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I forget to say: it will be great if the chat pop up window can be resized. At the time being, it occupies the whole of my monitor screen at full screen, so I cannot browse while chatting. I am using IE 7 and VB 3.6.5

But it would be great if you can give us information about how much care it will give our servers? And is it possible to have this on Forum Home replacing vbShout?

2.6.0 Repacked has been released.

Whats new?
First off the chat includes your header and footer.
Fixed the query errors on install.
Updated the footer to help support the hack.

If you wish to remove the ad from the footer please send a donation of $15 or more to tim@extremechatforums.com to help support the development of this hack.

Whats coming in 2.7?
Right now 2.7 is mainly planned to have usergroup permissions.
More code cleanup and style cleanup.

Ok, well I installed the updated 2.6 and the chat works. I was able to uninstall the old version and upload the product with no problem. The Ban Users AdminCP still doesn't work.

I will be patiently waiting for version 2.7 so I can control Usergroup access. If you can code it to have the Secondary Usergroup access override the Primary Usergroup access that would be AWESOME! As I said before, I don't want my Register Users (Primary) to have access but need my VIP User (Secondary) to have access.

Until then..... chat is turned off.

There have been major changes to the order of planned events. I ended up doing the ajax this morning instead of saving it for v3. Right now some new features and group permissions will make it into v2.9.x.

I will release 2.9.0 here shortly as we are giving it one last set of tests before its released.

P.S. the estimated bandwidth usage for one hour with 20 members in the chat is around 40-65mb. Average ajax page is around 1kb. Reloaded every 1.5 seconds right now.

eXtremeTim

04-27-2007, 11:06 AM

2.9.0 released!!!

Whats new in 2.9.0?
AJAX!!!!!
This means no more annoying reloads or iframe anymore. You can see it running over at the demo site and test it out all you want.

Yes I realize the ban user page still doesnt work. I am working on moving everything over to the vb permission system and usermanager.

Lemme know if that works or not. :)

Yikes again! I was going to install until I saw this: Shouldn't this script be reasonably mature and reasonably without errors before it is charged for? Your time is your investment for the future and you shouldn't ask people to pay for an immature script and neither should you force Adsense ads upon people. Sorry, no install but I'll keep an eye on this thread to see when the script is mature and then I'll consider forking out my 15 bucks! Oops, sorry, you're not charging people, you're asking for a donation. Well, others do that without forcing Adsense ads!

I like how this mod is shaping up, but I can't use it while Adsense ads are used. I cannot have them on my site unless they are my own. I'm curious how you got permission to have your ads placed on third-party sites. :erm: IMHO, the usage of ads has officially made this mod "adware", and it should be made obvious in the description before unsuspecting admins install this.

I'd love to buy a copy when usergroup permissions are implemented. It looks great, but I'm not going to risk my Adsense account to test it. Without usergroup permissions for things like viewing public rooms, creating rooms/private rooms, joining specific rooms, etc, I can't justify paying for it right now. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

For the fifteen minutes I had it installed, it ran very smooth, and I'm sure it'll become a great paid mod in the future once more advanced options are implemented. :up:

I'll make a suggestion: make a free version (like this version), and make a paid Pro version with private rooms, advanced usergroup permissions, etc. Use the free version to advertise the Pro version, and I think you'll do quite well. I'd pay for the Pro version in a heartbeat. Just a suggestion, mind you.

Keep up the great work.

I was under the impression the purpose of vbulletin.org was to "share" creativity not
"scheme" for solicitations. Yes, of course we all have the right to be "justly compensated", when properly justified and within the proper context.

However, when you invoke money into the equation...that's a whole new ball game...i.e., accountability, warrants as to merchantability...on and on. Let's all be cautious about putting our hand out for money, because there are dire ramifications on many legal fronts.

If you want to sell your wares...go ahead...but do it on your own site and let the rest of us interact with this site as it was intended.

Also, to the creator (extremetim) of this hack, you might want to take the google ads off...as that could be a problem for you if and when google finds out.

Also, you might want to let everyone know that if they uninstall the hack, they will have to manually delete "2" tables from the database.

Nice hack though...
You know what I dont think a $15 donation is to much to ask for this script compared ive been busting my ass on it. Without the ad nobody donates on this site besides maybe one or 2 people. So the ads were only put in to entice people to donate. If you have a problem with that dont use the hack I dont care. Im the one spending hours on end working on this hack and sharing it for free to the community. Be glad and enjoy it or there wont be a free version in the end.

Pretty cool and easy to install.

However it seems that my smilies break the formating. I guess I have some rather big smilies and when I disabled the smilies vBchat text messaging format was corrected. EDIT THE BELOW CORRECT MY FORMAT ISSUE:

Also, when going to chat it creates a very large window in FireFox that I can not resize [so I do a right click to open in a new tab]. Anyway not to have it open in such a large un-sizable window?

for all users having issues with the style spacing not being correct do the following.

in vBChat.php find:

$chat_page .= "<table height='100%' border='0'>";

replace with

This mod has a lot of potential!

One thing I would like to see added is a tick box for letting the visitor be informed if someone enters/exits the room he's in. I spend most of my time surfing and would like to be told if someone else is in the room. A very small "blip" sound or something would be nice.

Another thing would be the ability to be in more than one room at a time. Maybe have a tabbed arrangement at the top in order to switch between rooms :)

Thanks! I'm loving the first idea of yours but not the second one 'cause it's really pointless. Besides, you can do that already in the latest versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer using the tab system. ;) So yeah.

If I buy that, can I remove the Adsense Ads too? Yes, the copyright will be fully removed including the ads.

I can't find it... but I downloaded the most recent version and the > < ' " are still not working.

EDIT: Moreover, the commands are not working. I'm referring to the /ban and /unban commands. The PM feature is also not working.

Once these errors are fixed, I am willing to purchase a Branding Free option. Yes, we are aware that the commands aren't working already including the PM (Private Message). We're hoping to release v2.9.1 real soon which includes all the bug fixes mostly but please be patient.

Hmm a chat log viewer. It would be great to have something on our forum home where it shows the current conversation happening on vBChat and having text over that saying "Click Here To Join The Chat!". So instead of stressing our server having the vBChat on our forum home, it will just update throughout every refresh someone does and clicking that chat viewer will direct them to the chat in a new page?

I am planning to remove them in the upcoming 2.9.2 because of issues in the current manor for how they work.
Thank you for the answer.

What can I do with my other problem? It is black text on the black background. :o

I actually don't have a problem with the idea of programmers putting (obvious) ads in a mod and paying to not see them (as long as they are not hidden, its standard practice for lots of internet forums and stuff).

however, this is correct:
The AdSense in in clear violation of Googles policy !

You are at risk of getting your adsense banned from google. And believe me, they are better than you think at find out this stuff. and its very much a pain in the arse to get it back.

that said, it IS possible that this puts people who INSTALL and USE your mod at risk of Google TOS violation as well...like if they already have Adsense on their site and this puts them over the limit. That is clearly unfair. I mean one thing to add it to your mod for donation incentives (again, which I think is fine), but its another thing for it to put users at risk).

its your gamble, but I recommend finding another Ad network for your mod... there are plenty out there, and in fact, some of the other ones pay out a lot better anyway. ;)

ps. I've been in internet ad industry for years. but you don't have to believe me, check out from other sources yourself.

good to hear. great mod btw. :)

also, do we have reupload the files for the upgrade? or is just reimporting the product (overwrite) good enough?

reupload the files.

Hello,

Still no working version on Portuguese characters.

If you try to shout ol? como est?s you get no result, and get the posting in progress message.

Sorry for this again but it's the only error i've found in the mod.

The system is working perfecty thanks. But i have a suggestion,
the message box that it shows when you press enter if there's not text entered is so annoying.

how can i change the Vbchat button to just Chat? i updated the mod but still the same.

thanks

isn't putting google ads on 10mil sites using a modifacation a form of breaking the tos on google ads?

just a question

sonichero

yes it is. he is working on it.

I do believe it is also illegal to have them on your site at all because it is not the assigned site.

so does that mean i can remove them i know how...

i will remove the ads

but keep his copyright intact on the chat thingy i hate ads ROFL XD

EDIT: removed the ads.... if they needed to be on then i will put them back but will need the ad code

You can't expect us to support "illegal" activity, as i dont want to be banned from adsense (i dont know if i can because of this). Give me another Ad program and ill be happy to implement it.

If you so absolutely desire ill uninstall Chat until you do, but i dont think you would much care as my board isnt active yet...

2. user group option to "see chat, but can't login/chat" :)

any thoughts on these?

3) Smilies not to show up more than once

Other than that... the chat rocks!

1) Can we have the The color codes of usergroup in the Room also? Because it becomes tough to recognize admins and mods for members, so you know they spam n give us pain.:mad:

2) Can we delete a single message [spam/bad words] in the chat room?:erm:

3) How to Display smiles in more then 1 line? [all the smiles streches the page and appears in single line]:erm:

I have a suggestion. OK in javachat you can set a message which will always show up once someone enters the chat is there anyway that we can do that with vbChat? So we like type in a message and that message is automatically showed whenever someone joins the chat? I also have another suggestion i see that when someone is in the chat and if you go to view whos online it doesnt show them as if they were in the chat it simply says there viewing the index. Can you set it so that when someone is in the chat and if you go view the whos online it says there in the chat?
