MGC Chatbox (with AJAX)

[gothicuser]

I have tried both doing an upgrade, and uninstalling then re-installing to the newer v1.4, but nothing I do seems to get the vBAdvanced module to work.
I have followed your destructions to the letter, re-read them, got a third-party to read them, but alas, still no module appears.

This morning I did a 'virginal' install of vBulletin on one of my office dev machines ('nix box) no mods/hacks at all, went through the install procedure precisely to the letter, the chat box works perfectly, but still no vBA module :( :(

[alseef]

First of all I would like to thank you , and thanks also to mr. alessai for the translation.

but still I cant read the Arabic in the chatbox, as you say before this is from the provider.

Is there any other solutions ??

What also Provider has to do to solve this problem?

Thanks

[Tulsa]

This mod has progressed wonderfully! :)

The only thing I think this mod needs now is to store the users selection of font and color so they don't have to set it every time.

On monday evening, I'll check that out on a clean vbulletin install.

But it was working wonderfully on my local forum it's strange.

What you could try to do is find in the vba files in the include directory the print_portal_output function (I don't have my notebook so can't tell which one) and then at the start of that file find add : global $mgc_chatbox;

There is an option in vba which can also allow variable globalizing so you might as well at mgc_chatbox in that field instead of doing the file editing.

Tell me if that solve the thing !

This is a problem of encoding, i had the same problem with accent on an old forum but I really don't know which provider parameter it's due to :(

My skills lack on that part.

The only thing I think this mod needs now is to store the users selection of font and color so they don't have to set it every time.

But it already does as users can do that through their acp. I won't make it through the selection in the chatbox.

Read all thread on page 38 but i want still ask.

How to show user who use the chatbox on current time?So we dont need to ask "Anyone in?' or "John Doe are you on chatbox?"

Actually, there is a who's online channel which is accessible through a button in the chatbox (on the left).

However, it doesn't work very well actually coz I have problems with session and ajax calls.

To see the channel's button, you have to allow your users to see who's online in the chatbox (usergroup permissions).

[Tulsa]

lol - I totally missed that VBDev! Sweet!

[HDT]

Thanks VBDev,hope you can made this features more great.

[ButtCrackAttack]

You haven't upload the bitfield product :)


The files in the "p" folder? I'm confused, where should they be uploaded?

[Mastar]

Good to go... the Display on defined pages above the navbar setting was it.

Just arrived home, will try this in the morning..... kids need too much attention right now :(

[VBDev]

Thanks VBDev,hope you can made this features more great.

I am planning to find a fix for that :)

Just arrived home, will try this in the morning..... kids need too much attention right now :(

He he that's ok you should learn your kids coding for vbulletin :D ! Take your time this is no big deal, this should fix it but not sure.

Anyone has managed using it on vba with my howto ?

Little question gothicuser, did you update the product and all the files with the corrected one (actual 1.4 available for download).

[ButtCrackAttack]

Hey guys I think i've uploaded everything, but I keep getting this when I set the permissions in the admin cp...

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'mgccustomusergroupperms' in 'field list'

Did I upload something in the wrong place?

[Nimrod.]

Yeah, I kind of get the same thing. Everything in my AdminCP looks great, but when i try to go to my site, it says that I have an error on my global.php file on line #34.

[gothicuser]

Little question gothicuser, did you update the product and all the files with the corrected one (actual 1.4 available for download).
Yes I did but made no difference I'm afraid.
As i said, will play again in the morning :)

[Sofia]

Why there is few folders with letters in the Zip , Mr Clement ? I think you must classify folders by languages or by products/php/readmefile. No ? Good Night, my darling !

[stangger5]

I finally got it working with vBadvanced..

Display on defined pages in a variable: YES

I added adv_index in the Display and position (Other pages list) box..

Create a new vBadvanced template based module with the following parameters :
Title : MGC Chatbox
Template to include : mgc_chatbox
Styles : the style on which you want the module to be shown

This depends on what version of VBA and the way you want to display it..

Template content :
$mgc_chatbox
you could use wrapper template option: YES or NO..

Use this in older VBA:

$mgc_chatbox

or


<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
$mgc_chatbox
</td>
</tr>


In the edit modules page, add the chatbox module to the homepage on the center wherever you want it to be positioned.


Heres a Demo... (http://www.thefulcrumpoint.org/index.php)

:D

Hello VBDev!! ;)

I share with you a little Bug in the ShatBox, that I located 5 minutes Ago:

When Selected as "YES" the Option "Display on defined pages above the navbar" (This option lets you activate the mechanism which allows the displaying of the chatbox on defined pages of the forum under the navbar (except from the forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread pages which have their own option)), in the ChatBox Page (http://inciarco.com/foros/mgc_chatbox.php?do=view_chatbox) the Chatbox Duplicates it self, one for the ChatBox in that Page and other for the Added ChatBox activated by this Option.

You Can see it in the Following Link:
http://inciarco.com/foros/mgc_chatbox.php?do=view_chatbox

(When that Option is Set to "NO" the ChatBox Page works with just One ChatBox and Not the Two that you'll see if you visit the Link).

(One of the ChatBoxes Loads the Contens and the other Just show the "Loading" Text).

The Code shall Identify the ChatBox Page and not Include another ChatBox Above it.

I hope this helps for your Next Version of this Great Hack!! :up:

My Best Regards To You!! ;)

:)

[ButtCrackAttack]

Awesome mod dude 5 thumbs up !!!!

[gothicuser]

Forget this one, I must have had a blonde moment :(
I totally uninstalled the original installation of MGC then re-installed, following your instructions but adding 'vba_index' as strangger5 suggested and all works perfectly now.
Thankyou once more for a brilliant mod :D

[unitedpunjab]

There is a little problem. I have enabled PM feature on my shoutbox and i have enabled the PM feature for every usergroup. But when i ever a Registered user send PM to some other group member it appears in shoutbox in PM channel. But when ever a member from some other group rather than registered member group send message to that group the PM channel doesn't displayed anywhere.

e.g Letz i m admin and i sent mssg to a member dream. In pm channel it shows that mssgz has been sent to dream. But dream is unable to see it anywhere. But when dream send mssg to admin it appears in PM channel.

Did i missed something anywhere ... ??

[VBDev]

Hey guys I think i've uploaded everything, but I keep getting this when I set the permissions in the admin cp...

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'mgccustomusergroupperms' in 'field list'

Did I upload something in the wrong place?

This is error must be because you didn't import the two products.

I think you've uploaded only the mgc_chatbox product not the bitfield one, this could be the only possible reason :)

Yeah, I kind of get the same thing. Everything in my AdminCP looks great, but when i try to go to my site, it says that I have an error on my global.php file on line #34.

Error in global.php ? This is strange and have never been experienced with the chatbox. Which version of vbulletin do you have ?

Yes I did but made no difference I'm afraid.
As i said, will play again in the morning :)

That's ok :)

I finally got it working with vBadvanced..

First I put $mgc_chatbox; in the cmp_index.php file
right above
print_portal_output($home);Display on defined pages in a variable: YES

I added adv_index in the Display and position (Other pages list) box..

He he lol

Yes I have forgotten to put the condition with chatbox script :D

I did it for forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread so that it doesn't show doubled but not for the chatbox file itself lol

Thanks for the report

Hum, if you have enabled it for both then dream user should be able to see it in the pm channel.

I think I'll have to check that out :D But I will do it tomorrow when my headache will be passed (too much alcohol yesterday :D)

[Tulsa]

In the usercp section where you can choose what font and color, it was working fine yesterday. I upgraded to 3.6.8, now it's gone. I reimported the product files without success in getting this back.

Is there a template edit to the usercp you're doing that I can just edit myself to get this working again?

[gothicuser]

You mean adv_index ? I am a little lost on the way you and strangger5 achieved it :D

Sorry, yes, that was the only difference from your instructions and appears to have done the trick.
Am experimenting further today as hard-coding the paths is really a non starter :rolleyes: got to find a suitable alternative.

I think the upgrade might have removed the modifyoptions template modification which you had modified (following my readme instructions).

You should do it again :)

But I thought I did tell to add adv_index, that's strange.

Which path did you hardcode ?

[Megatr0n]

Can this mod be switched on/off whenever?

[VBDev]

Can this mod be switched on/off whenever?

There is an option to activate or not the chatbox in the acp :)

[stangger5]

There is something strange with your first line ? how adding $mgc_chatbox; would do something ??

Are you sure of that first part ?

Never mind editing the cmp_index.php file...

It was adding adv_index in the Display and position (Other pages list) box..

Your Readme.! html file said to add arcade ...

Integration to vBadvanced CMPS
This integration works only if you activate the display on defined pages in a variable.

Here is how to make it work:

Go in the admincp, in the "Display and position" chatbox option page.
Activate the "Display on defined pages of the forum in a variable" option.
Then in the pages list, add : arcade and then validate.
Create a new vBadvanced template based module with the following parameters :
1. Title : MGC Chatbox
2. Template to include : mgc_chatbox
3. Styles : the style on which you want the module to be shown
4. Template content : $mgc_chatbox
Select no for the wrapper template option
Then validate
5. In the edit modules page, add the chatbox module to the homepage on the center wherever you want it to be positionned.
6. Enjoy :)

I don't have photoplog installed and I suppose it's a bit hard to install (so don't really have the time).

To find how to correct that showing problem in photoplog, could you search in the photoplog files how the display is constructed ? I think that this problem comes from the fact that the photoplog display is done through a function so the mgc_chatbox variable needs to be globalized in that function (global $mgc_chatbox;).

I'll see later in the week if I had time to dig into that but cant' promise that I will.

For the error and warning messages I think it's the same problem but I will provide a fix (it will need file edit).

[Krieg]

hi, i wanted to install this mod and followed every step (i uploaded every single files from v1.1 to 1.4)
i imported the products and did the templates modifications.

but the chatbox does not show (i switch it on in the admincp) and i am helpless.

the source of my forumhome page looks like this for instance :

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php">Calendrier</a></td>

<!-- modif chatbox -->

<!-- modif chatbox -->


<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?do=getnew" accesskey="2">Derniers messages</a></td>

in the templates i added the small commentary lines so that i find the mods afterwards. i must do something wrong but cannot find what

PS: je suis francais et si ya besoin de l'url ya pas de soucis, je pourrais la donner ;)

[maidos]

theres a issue, i have set a usergroup to be able to use mp/pm command on the admincp.. the member can view the brushes icon however what theycant see is the pm channel icon at all

[Nimrod.]

Error in global.php ? This is strange and have never been experienced with the chatbox. Which version of vbulletin do you have ?3.6.7 PL1

Yeah, I couldnt figure out why it was messing with the global.php file.

[blueraider]

how do i fixed the date. it keeps saying 7/13/07

[AdmiralGeek]

one of my users has a prob with the shout box, THE ONLY ONE, it constantly is laoding (has the text loading in the shout box area) i checked his cookies, and java script and all is fine.

any ideas?

[Mastar]

Is it possible to have an option for an sound alert when a new message has been entered?

[inciarco]

Hello VBDev!! ;)

I almost forgot to share witn you another little Bug I detected on the Chatbox, and is that When I press the Collapse Icon (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/) the ChatBox Displays itself in a Bigger Height, and Not Collapse itself at all but the Opposite it goes Bigger!! ;) (This also happens on the ChatBox Page (http://inciarco.com/foros/mgc_chatbox.php?do=view_chatbox)).

You can see this at:
http://inciarco.com/foros/

Do you know why this could be happening?? :confused: I Can Collapse every other Table in my Forum except the ChatBox!! :( (you can see that in the previous Link and in Sections like the Gallery (Galer?a) and others).

I hope this Helps for your next Release!! :p

That's not a bug , please update your setting > MGC Chatbox : Shouts display >Number of displayed shouts in collapsed mode > set it to whatever number of messages you want to be shown in collapsed mode . 0 for none.

[unitedpunjab]

Hum, if you have enabled it for both then dream user should be able to see it in the pm channel.

I think I'll have to check that out :D But I will do it tomorrow when my headache will be passed (too much alcohol yesterday :D)


I have enabled the PM function for both the usergroup. But still it's not showing up anywhere for simple user. For Admin usergroup it's showing.

Never experienced that, maybe the file wasn't uploaded correctly (ie, error during the upload).

There are options in the acp to configure that :)

but i`am sure there are another users !

It can't be disabled, but you're right it should.

I am going to add that in the todo list.

By userid, yes I could, I'll put it too in the list.

By the way its always say to me
"you are the only user in the chatbox"
but i`am sure there are another users !

Yes I know, this an issue I have to look at. The result will be complete removal of that functionnality if I don't find a clean and not too heavy on server load solution

[redraider]

I have to ask, is this working with vbadvanced yet, I would like to install it as a side module.

Thanks

[pewp]

hello there. i just installed this wonderful addon to another forum i'm working on and it's a smaller forum (only 600px wide). the smallest size the chatbox seems to go is 800px. is there anyway to modify this to get it to shrink down more?

[VBDev]

Yes it does :) There is an howto in the readme (with a small error as you have to add adv_index and not arcade ;)).

But due to its size, it wont fit in the side colums, so can only in the center (which is good IMO).

hello there. i just installed this wonderful addon to another forum i'm working on and it's a smaller forum (only 600px wide). the smallest size the chatbox seems to go is 800px. is there anyway to modify this to get it to shrink down more?

How you could achieve that :

Reduce the size of the input box (option in the acp)
Disable some bbcode (option in the acp) for the chatboxThis will allow you to reduce it's width and I think it might fit in 600px.

[pewp]

i was just going to tell you that i disabled bbcode, and a few other things and got it to fit. thanks for the fast response though!

There is some thing werid every time i ban a user after 1 or 2 day i see him chating in the box ??? and i am sure i ban him with unlimte time !!!

[Karabaja]

I've been away for a week or so and I noticed there is new version so I upgraded. But now I am stuck with random smilies and no option to disable it. Pls VBDev could you help on how to set it to display order like it was in previous version. I'd rather not have to downgrade. Sorry if I missed an option somewhere in acp. Got some big smilies and really looks bad when it pulls them by random.

Here is how you could temporarly remove the random thing (I will make an option in the next version):

Open includes/functions_mgc_cb.php
Find $smileys = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT smilieid, smilietext, smiliepath, title
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie
ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT " . $vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_editor_nbsmileys'] . "
");
Replace it by $smileys = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT smilieid, smilietext, smiliepath, title
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie
ORDER BY displayorder
");
Here you go :)

In the product_mgc_chatbox, find

<phrase name="mgc_chatbox" date="1176242966" username="mtor" version="1.0"><![CDATA[MGC Chatbox]]></phrase>


And replace by :

<phrase name="mgc_chatbox" date="1176242966" username="mtor" version="1.0"><![CDATA[Chatbox]]></phrase>


For the next version, users can choose their title

^^^Sry didn't mean to post there, was making some notes.
While I'm accidentally caught lurking tho...great mod. ;)

[Karabaja]

Here is how you could temporarly remove the random thing (I will make an option in the next version):

Open includes/functions_mgc_cb.php
Find $smileys = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT smilieid, smilietext, smiliepath, title
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie
ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT " . $vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_editor_nbsmileys'] . "
");
Replace it by $smileys = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT smilieid, smilietext, smiliepath, title
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie
ORDER BY displayorder
");
Here you go :)

Thanks, I've tried that but in that case it shows me like all available smilies or too many of them, not sure which, but much more then it is chosen in acp.

[VBDev]

yes.
clientscript forde:( is error Upgrade from v1.2
:(automatic refreshment error:erm:

Don't have you make modifications in your templates ? This could be a reason.

Which error does ie tell you ?

Sorry, this was :


$smileys = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT smilieid, smilietext, smiliepath, title
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie
ORDER BY displayorder
LIMIT " . $vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_editor_nbsmileys'] . "

I installed v 1.4 as a new installation. I got this message when I opened the forum

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: can_use_mp_cmd() in /home/xxxx.xxx/public_html/forum/index.php(537) : eval()'d code on line 293

If I incativated the Chatbox, everything was fine.

Please help

[VBDev]

This is because you haven't uploaded the includes/functions_mgc_cb.php file (as I can deduct from the error).

[MarkEE]

Installed and working. Thank you!

Is there an easy way to clear the archive?

Thanks

[VBDev]

/del all in the chatbox :D

[jamper]

Forgive me, but i'm a noob:D

I have the latest mgc chatbox installed in my vbulletin 3.6.7 version. If i upgrade vbulletin to 3.6.8, does the mod still work?

Thank you

[MarkEE]

Thanks...that worked!

[VBDev]

Forgive me, but i'm a noob:D

Thank you

Sure :) Anyway you might have to modify vb templates that you might have to revert during the 3.6.8 install.

[AdmiralGeek]

I upgraded to the new version, and for the new feature that allows users to initiated in a private message within the shout box, well the explanation for this is in some foreign language when the help icon is clicked. Also the "close button" to close the help window is also in a foreign language. And the icon that lets you open the shout box on its own, is also in a foreign language( the label, when someone moves their mouse over)

I installed the language file when upgrading.

But i suppose i did it wrong, tried is several times, but no luck.

Any help?

[unitedpunjab]

For admin it works ?

Hum very strange, do the user which don't see it belongs to 2 usergroups ?

No the are just simple registered users....

Hum yes it seems like there are untranslated phrases.

I'll correct that for the next release.

No the are just simple registered users....

Do they have the option set to no in their ucp options (hide chatbox one) ?

[Captain Kirk76]

I installed this, but it appears i have it in french, how do I change the language, I am somewhat confused.

[Mischievious]

It would be nice if this mod were all in english. It would make customizing the templates and phrases easier.

[da420]

Did you install the english version of the product xml from the zip archive?

[morrow]

Installed with no issues. Thanks a bunch for making this available for vBa.

I made a quick search on the web and it seems like this is usually due to a configuration of the server.

Maybe you can have a look at this page for example which explains it a bit : http://www.tech-recipes.com/mysql_tips762.html

VBDev, Congrats on mod of the month! :up:

Thanks Tulsa and Thanks to all of you who voted for me !

i have a member that cant get the shout to load .,. he is running vista and its a new install it says loading but never loads .. i can log in as him and see it fine .. what can his pc be missing that would cause this? .. and thank you for the great .. FREE shout box :)

I use vista and never experienced such problems so it's quite hard to know what could be wrong with him.

Anyway, if he's using IE, does it tells me any js errors ? Has he installed particular addons to his browser on vista ?

[paldo]

he tried firefox and i.e he is the only person so far that had such problems .. i dont understand it .. and no errors are shown .ty for your replies

i just upgraded to the new shout yesterday .. he seen it before but he has a new vista install and has been using motel internet for 2 days . think the motel could be blocking somthing he needs ?

[paldo]

also he can read the archives he just cant load the shout ..

[VBDev]

also he can read the archives he just cant load the shout ..

The only difference between the chatbox and its archive is that in the chatbox shouts are retrieved through ajax.

I am not used to everything beyond ajax (I mean all the server part and http requests) so I can't tell if this come from that part.

Does he encounters problem with other vbulletin ajax functionnalities ?

As a matter of fact, yes maybe there could be a possiblity that the motel internet has blocked port which might be used by the http requests of ajax but as I told ya I am not really skilled in that area ;)

[dirty68]

Do they belong to the same usergroup ? No DEV ones a member and the other is a supermod, i do think that they are both using firefox tho

[VBDev]

No DEV ones a member and the other is a supermod, i do think that they are both using firefox tho

Then this may be due to the configuration you made for their usergroups permissions.

Check them out, especially the number of posts to see the chatbox one :)

[dirty68]

yea i did that Dev i found that members need 100 posts to view which ive just changed to 1, but my supermod has been a member for years and has over 4000 posts :(, oh and he used to beable to view the shouty before i upgraded to 3.6.8

[VBDev]

Did you verify that the modifyoptions template still contains the modification after upgrade ?

Coz maybe the modification needed for the chatbox has disapeared and your supermod has modified its option after that upgrade and if options were not appearing then they would have been seen as equal to 0 making the chatbox hidden.

[dirty68]

Dev he can see the shout template and all the bits but the little refresh thing just keeps going round and thats it

[rainyleaves]

Thanks, VBDev.

Great mod!!
Working fine.
But this mod working fine for only admin.
Another registration user group can't see MGC Chatbox.
Of course I changed permission to 'yes' for other registration groups.

What am I doing wrong?
Please help...
* I installed MGC V1.4 with VB3.6.8

Thanks. :)

[sys4096]

Similar issues here, 1.4 with VB 3.6.8.
Very strange.

Usergroup perms set to yes, permissions to view the shoutbox are correct, posts required set to 0.

Just doesn't display for some users. I thought it would be not displaying for an entire usergroup, however I made a test user and put him in exactly the same usergroups as a user who was using the chatbox - and I still couldnt see it. Users are identically configured except for the name.

Using the same PC and same browser logging in as the other user, I could see it.

[nyk_user]

I've installed (or at least tried to) and I'm having 2 main issues:

First, the MGC Chatbox box on the admin control panel is all in French.

Second, I don't see where the module is anywhere on any pages... I've gone through the installation html file inclued in the zip but don't see anything on my navbar or any of my pages, someone please help

thanks

You can use English with this product.
This product's version V1.4.

Does they have an error shown in IE ? Which browser are they using ?

Maybe you didn't do the modifyoptions template modification thus leading to those error type if user edit their option as chatbox options are not in the page so considered as null.

Verify that you have modified that template like told in the installation and then if not do it. The user will then have to go to its ucp to put yes in the view chatbox option.

[Mastar]

If you use upload the english language file as da420 said, this should be good :)

The only change I've made was a php upgrade to php5

[VBDev]

That's not really illogical as upgrading infers templates changes.

So this might be as I told in my previous post, the modifyoption template modification might be missing.

thanks

For the language, have you installed the language file correctly?

For the module, this is maybe because you didn't set permissions well. If you're not sure of what you're doing, put a screenshot of the usergroup permissions you have put for the chatbox.

You can use English with this product.
This product's version V1.4.

I don't really recommend multiplying the xml files for my hack so plz try not to modify it as far as possible. This could lead to errors which I won't understand why user complains about and so leading to harder support :eek:

Anyway ones can use your "language"ly modified version at their own responsibilities :D

[VBDev]

Don't be sorry ;) This is just to ensure there is only one product version running everywhere at a given time :)

So this might be as I told in my previous post, the modifyoption template modification might be missing.
dev i took off all your files and the products and got rid of the template changes and then put them all back on again, still the same im sorry to say at the mo there are 3 people on my forum that can't see the shouty one of them is using firefox and the other IE, i have sett all the permissions right and even went into mysql i cant see anything out of place at all

[VBDev]

What do they see in their ucp in the options part for the chatbox ?

There shall be an option telling if they want to see or not the chatbox.

[dirty68]

What do they see in their ucp in the options part for the chatbox ?

There shall be an option telling if they want to see or not the chatbox. yea they see that Dev, and they can see the shouty to, its just that its allways loading all the time and nothing else

member has just posted this
(I can see it, using IE as browser, and I do get an error message at bottom; "Done, but with errors on page." Shoutbox continually says "Loading.")

[paldo]

i have postcounts set on 0 for the allowed usergroups he is the only member having issues with all browsers he trys he can see the vbshout on other sites just not this one ..

Has he checked his options in the user control panel ?

[slyreptile]

Is there a way to turn off the chatbox specifically for IE? The reason I ask is I have my test forum running with transparent images and the javascript used to make it work seems to be conflicting with the chatbox.

Course it would be better to get the chatbox to work in this type of setup. But I'd be happy just being able to turn it off.

There also seems to be an issue with the time/username staying in the chatbox. I'm not sure what is causing the problem, but I'm sure it's something in my template as it works in the default one.

[VBDev]

I can't log on your forum, the htaccess is ok but then I need a test account to see the chatbox :)

[slyreptile]

Oops, I forgot to set the Unregistered Users minimum posts to 0. You should be able to see it now as a guest.

[paldo]

well his chat is turned on like i said i logged in as him and seen it just fine ..

[VBDev]

Oops, I forgot to set the Unregistered Users minimum posts to 0. You should be able to see it now as a guest.

Yup, wow that's a very strange behaviour. This might come from the overflow property but I don't see why it would work on other website and not in that particular one.

I don't have js error with ie7, could you tell me which error is fired ?

well his chat is turned on like i said i logged in as him and seen it just fine ..

Do you have multiple styles on your forum ? If he goes to the full page mode, what can he see ?

[glennno]

I'm unfamiliar with Chatbox. Is this like Live Chat? Thanks.

[paldo]

yes i do he hass tried all skins to the same result and all he can see is the loading message on full page or on the forums index ..

[VBDev]

* Zip file v1.4 updated with german language and xml file for the TMS template edits management system of Andreas thanks to captainslater

[VBDev]

I'm unfamiliar with Chatbox. Is this like Live Chat? Thanks.

This a little chat box but not a real chat, thus being very similar.

yes i do he hass tried all skins to the same result and all he can see is the loading message on full page or on the forums index ..

And you have tried with the same browser as he has ?

[paldo]

yes i dont use i.e but i tryed it .i logged in with his username and pass and it worked .. he also tried firefox which i use myself it wouldnt load for him neither on firefox .. as i said i can log out and log in with his username and it works just fine on i.e and firefox ..its got to be somthing missing on his pc or somthing being blocked on his end

I've found and fixed the problem with the overflowing time/user. Now is just the issue with the disabled textboxes and buttons in IE6. No javascript errors occur, but they are disabled in IE6. BTW, the text out of the box was caused by an errant css entry.

I don't see what could be blocking, maybe is firewall not allowing my ajax calls ?

[slyreptile]

Wow you respond fast! :D

Disabled as in greyed out. Can't click in the textbox at all, thus can't be typed into. However, I also noticed it happens with the vB login and password box, so I'm sure it isn't problem with your script. Now to figure what's causing it.

[slyreptile]

Found the greyed out problem, but not really sure how to resolve it. To achieve the transparency, I use an css file that contains lines similar to this under each div tag:

filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImag eLoader(src='../trans.png', sizingMethod='scale');

This is what is causing IE to show the boxes as disabled. At the same time, without this line IE does not handle the transparent png file properly. If a png file is used where a textbox exists, it will cause this issue. I know this isn't your problem. I'm just updating my previous posts. I'll take this conversation elsewhere.

I know this is not your problem, nor have anything to do with your script. Just updating my previous posts with new information. I'll take this topic somewhere else.

[Forza]

excellent work! this is what vB was missing.

thanks!!

[Karabaja]

Does anyone have who's online working?

whats with the new file today its the same version whats been fixed ?

edit .. i see the templates has been updated by the looks of the date ..

hello,
all the mod is fine
the users of vb-brasil choose this hack of chat !
But...
How integrate with vbadvanced 3.01?

This integration works only if you activate the display on defined pages in a variable.

Here is how to make it work:


Go in the admincp, in the "Display and position" chatbox option page.
Activate the "Display on defined pages of the forum in a variable" option.
Then in the pages list, add : [B]arcade and then validate.
Create a new vBadvanced template based module with the following parameters :
Title : MGC Chatbox
Template to include : mgc_chatbox
Styles : the style on which you want the module to be shown
Template content : $mgc_chatbox
Select no for the wrapper template option
Then validate
In the edit modules page, add the chatbox module to the homepage on the center wherever you want it to be positionned.
Enjoy :)

I make all - changing the 'arcade' do adv_index and don't work ... Any suggestions?
[in vblinks - script=adv_links] don't work too...

But thanks for your finest code and support

Templates updated ? No they haven't, this new file only contains the german file plus and xml file for automatic template modifications with the TMS hack of Andreas.

You have carefully followed all the steps described in the readme (with the modification of arcade to adv_index) ?

This should work. You can also try to add mgc_chatbox in the globalize var field of the vbadvanced settings.

[dirty68]

When you double click on that error, what does ie says ? ....

[VBDev]

Hum, I have made a little search on the web and seems like I could have figured out what's going wrong.

In the 1.4 version, I have put full urls in the javascript files by using the $vbulletin->options[bburl] variable.

However in javascript, it's forbidden for a code sample to call an external url from a different domain.

So I suppose this might be what's going wrong, do you have a bburl variable corresponding to the real domain url ?

[itzxmikee]

how do you make the chat window narrower? Currently the chat window is too wide for my site. Thanks

[VBDev]

Here is one of my previous posts which should help you :)


How you could achieve that :

Reduce the size of the input box (option in the acp)
Disable some bbcode (option in the acp) for the chatboxThis will allow you to reduce it's width.

[dirty68]

So I suppose this might be what's going wrong, do you have a bburl variable corresponding to the real domain url ? ??? sorry Dev still new to all this i dont understand this bit

[VBDev]

Does the url of your website corresponds to the one of your domain or do you have a kind of address translation ?

I mean dirtysplace.com is the real url or just a redirecting one ?

[beduino]

hello

You have carefully followed all the steps described in the readme (with the modification of arcade to adv_index) ?

This should work. You can also try to add mgc_chatbox in the globalize var field of the vbadvanced settings.

I did it. 3 times, but no results.
If I send mgc_chatbox.php to /modules and change the type of module [template -> php module] is possible to work?
tks
beduino
ps. the adv_portal_mgc_chatbox template contains only $mgc_chatbox... right?

Nope if you put php module it won't work.

Yes it contains only that.

Have you tried the mgc_chatbox add to the parameter in vba acp options ?

[aranthorn]

I know it may be pedestrian, but I've updated 1.4 at least twice now. Would you mind incrementing the version number? I get a hack updated email and when I go to the hack, the version is the same. I then try to figure what's been updated by reading all the posts... It's time consuming!

Thanks for the great hack, it truly is an awesome shoutbox :)

[VBDev]

He He lol that's ok I will ;)

[aranthorn]

Thanks a ton, VBDev. I hope that didn't read as complaining, I'm very grateful for the fine work you've provided everyone gratis :)

[VBDev]

No No you are right on that point ;)

In my job I won't release the same version two times or more like that so I should apply it to my hacks too :)

[dirty68]

Does the url of your website corresponds to the one of your domain or do you have a kind of address translation ?

I mean dirtysplace.com is the real url or just a redirecting one ? yea dirtysplace.com or the full url to the site www.dirtysplace.com/forums could it be my vbadvance? i could never get that going and dont know how to take it off haha

[VBDev]

Does all the users of your forums with IE have this problem ?

This could be a configuration of IE (security) to restrictive thus blocking xhttp chatbox requests.

[slyreptile]

I've found and fixed the problem with the overflowing time/user. Now is just the issue with the disabled textboxes and buttons in IE6. No javascript errors occur, but they are disabled in IE6. BTW, the text out of the box was caused by an errant css entry.

Okay, I guess I do need some more help. I believe this to be a shortcoming in the chat script. Here's the code I have in my css. This code is necessary. Without it, links don't work properly. This code causes the overflow problem. I also have Dream's chatbox to show that that box isn't affected.

/* hyperlink clickable fix */
a, {
position:relative;
}

I've disabled the transparency for IE6, so this problem is not being caused by transparent pngs. Any ideas?

[paldo]

i now have a few regulars that cant see the shoutbox sinse i have updated .. i see it fine with my setup but they cant see it ..

i have one member that couldnt see it with his desktop pc but logged in with his laptop and could see it .. what could possibly be effecting these people ? its got to be a setting much needed on sombodies computer effecting whether they see it or not .. i know its their setup effecting it because i can log in with the same browser as them with their user and pass and whalla theres shout.. im cunfuzzed in a bad way here .

this didnt start til the last upgrade im about to go back to the older version somthing changed in this version thats effecting my users being able to see it

all they can see is the loading message .. it just never loads

i will also add i installed a firefox toolbar a member made for my site and i couldnt see the shout after install .uninstalled the toolbar and shout came back ..

[LjubavnaZona]

Ok I love this hack and I desperately want it on my forum, and I installed it and uploaded everything that needed to be uploaded. I completely followed everything and yet I cant see it. I dont see the chat at all.

I went to see if it was enabled and it is. Everything looks fine yet I dont see it
What am I doing wrong?

I got 1.4 version and its my first time installing it. I havent upgraded or anything.
I did everything I was asked to do...

Help please!

[paldo]

you set up permissions in the usergroup permissions ?

Site is . Username = user Password = hinkley

The problem is the relative position value for your parameter as I think it's override the overflow css of the chatbox table.

Dream's chatbox is using an iframe to load the contents of the shouts from another file this is why you don't have this problem with its chatbox.

I think you would have the same problem with vbshout as zero tolerance uses overflow property too.

I am not a css master at all so I won't be really useful to you on that problem :(

It doesn't load an tell them of an error in IE that's right ? And this error is the same as dirty68 I suppose ?

This problem is due to the changes I made for vbadvanced integration I think.

You could see it's working by replacing all

bburl + '/

by

'

from the clientscript/mgc_chatbox.js file and I think this problem would disappear. Can you try it ?

However with that modification integration with vbadvanced wouldn't work anymore.

If the problem is coming from there, then I'll have to change something from the next version to manager in a better way the vbadvanced thing.

you set up permissions in the usergroup permissions ?

That also could be a style issue.

Verify the permissions (especially the number of posts to see the chatbox).
Try the different positions
If the chatbox displays in one of the position but not the top one, then you should follow the little how to for styles issue which can be found in the readme file.

Replace this with what Dev? or just get rid of all the bburl +'/ code?

I edit the post :)

[dirty68]

sorry Dev that didnt work, now its coming up as loading for everyone

[VBDev]

sorry Dev that didnt work, now its coming up as loading for everyone

In vbadvanced ?? If yes that's normal I told it wouldn't work anymore with that modification and if it did work on other parts of the forum then I'll have to dig into that.

But if you did modified the clientscript file well this should be good. In the clientscript file each function parameter in which you found it is now starting by mgc_chatbox.php right ?

[dirty68]

i changed all the bburls like you said in that folder and yes its not workin on the main forums now i dont use my vbadvance anymore

[itzxmikee]

Here is one of my previous posts which should help you :)

Still not working for me. Whatever I set the input width at, the size of the chat box stays the same.

[VBDev]

I think you haven't followed carefully the uninstall instructions, you should have removed the files prior to removing the product.

Now you have to rebuild manually the bitfields (the rebuild bitfield link in the acp is available only when you activate the debug mode).

[Karabaja]

That's ok then, I know what to do for the next version to manage that problem :)

Actually when I had same problem, I just installed mgc chatbox again, then removed the files and unsintalled it, that took care of mysql error.

[benjaminbih]

There is a phrase not in french in the admincp ?

Did you uploaded the english language ?

It means :

Yes i uploaded german & english, but not all phrases are translated.
but anyway i dont need no of booth, i help my self only to make a BiH (Bosnian) translation with booth language. And gonna post the bosnian trasnlation here, when i get it finished.
Maybe today :D
the only phrases i have to translate at this moment are the phrases for AdminCP, this can take some time :D

lol There are also phrases in the user side ;)

You should start from the xml files not directly within the acp.

Once you have finished could you please send it to me I would rather prefer so that I could update the zip file at the top and of course quoting you :)

You also plan to translate install instructions ?

haha :D i finished a few hours a go with Global and Cpanel phrases. only 50% of the vb settings phrases are left to translate.

And of course i can translate the install instructions too.
It will only need a little bit more time to finish all :D
I gonna try to finish it today, if not inshallah (so God will) tomorrow.

I found a bug. On my forum, the shoutbox doesnt load for everyone. To make it work you have to press archive and then load the forum home again. It seems to be just IE users but 1 firefox user has reported this also

[VBDev]

Hum ? How could that happen, it's really strange.

You're the only one experiencing that, maybe it comes from the same problem as dirty68, the next version will say if so :D

[cOuNtErFiET]

Hi! Great mod! Already installed it! But tell me, how do I edit shouts?

im also wondering this.... i dont see it anywhere in the instructions or in the popup via the sb with the list of commands

[gforce75]

Works fine, just install the language update.

[LjubavnaZona]

I love it :) thank you... installed.

[JakkFrosted]

I've got an unusual problem, unregistered and not logged in users cannot see the chatbox. I have gone through and adjusted the usergroup permissions but it just wont show up for the unregistered people. registered users and administrators can see it fine when logged in. anyone know whats causing this:confused:

When will the next version be out? Every time users come online they get the same bug and i dont know how to fix it

The new version will be in September as I'll be on holiday in a week on half for a duration of two weeks.

If this is a big problem, You should rather use the 1.3 which I think worked for you. This would help no bothering your user with my bug :(

[JakkFrosted]

ok that did the trick Dev:) I didn't think to do that because the option is to allow users to post not to view. I'll try more options next time befor posting. Also I found a glitch with internet explorer, its not a big problem, I really don't even care tbh. When I enable images in the chatbox and I post an image thats to wide to be completely displayed, in firefox I'll get a side scroller to view the image but in IE there is no side scroller and the image stretches the whole forums.

[VBDev]

That's maybe because I put a overflow-y only css and not the overflow one

I had the same issue....when you install the images for the chatbox put the whole folder itself (mgc_chatbox) in your misc folder cuz its looking for that directory. of coures you can change some code somewhere to fix that too but his was easier for me:D

You haven't followed correctly the uninstall instructions. You were supposed to remove the files before uninstalling the product.

Now you have to remove manually the bitfield by activating the debug mode to be able to see the menu item to do that.

[Captain Kirk76]

That's ok then, I know what to do for the next version to manage that problem :)

Coz in case of update, they might have forgotten to update the js files.

What about users who want to change their colored text for their whole time shouting. Like, user a wants to always type in blue font... does he have to select color=blue every time?
No he picks it from his profile, profile options, and it stays there with the font the user pick untill they want to change it

[VBDev]

No sorry, I have to but I spend my evening on a new product for my forum and haven't had time to do it.

I'll try to make it before the end of the week.

I've figured out that if i change the Forum URL in the vBulletin main options so that it doesn't have the www. part in the url then the problem reverses itself.

Hopefully that make sense to you all....please help :D

There are no reason why it wouldn't I remember having tested it.

Do you have a particular hack installed about threadS?

[Eddie Raps]

A few of my users (and I have, once or twice) have experienced "loading..." on the shoutbox screen when they go to the forum home... and sometimes refreshing it a bunch of times still doesn't help.

Any known solution? Also, I see in the list of upcoming features you have a more smilies link planned... any way to get that now?

[Roxie]

I have post thanks, ignore a thread and ban a user from thread. I tried disabling them all and still have the issue. hmmmm

[Kelmar]

Have you sorted out a fix for me yet Dev?

yup, I'm having the same problem as dirty68 and a few others here too I think.

It's just showing loading all the time and when I click the ok button I'm redirected to the archive page but the latest shout just posted isn't there.


hope you can find some time to fix this Dev... my members looove your shout box

thanks
Kelly.

This might be due to an issue actually experience by some users.

I have to dig into that for the next version.

When is this next version likely to be released?

[Roxie]

Sorry. I had to downgrade to the previous version b/c of the loading issue. I hope it gets worked out!

Thanks!

For installation it just says "upload files again". This is the first 5 mins I've ever checked out this mod - what does "upload files again" mean?

In the zip I just downloaded I have a bunch of letters as subdirectories, and atemplateedits-mgc_chatbox.xml file.

What do I do next? (if someone could re-write the instructions so they're more step-by-step and easier for 1st timers it would be much appreciated)

If there was an easy way, it would have already been implemented ;)

By the way this one is not high priority IMO as too much smileys in shouts kills the shout so I am not sure this one will be in the 2.0 version as it will depend of the time of development I have.

I have post thanks, ignore a thread and ban a user from thread. I tried disabling them all and still have the issue. hmmmm

Could you try on a test forum plz ?

I wish I could have time :D

Sure it will ;)

When is this next version likely to be released?

The one with the bug correction is likely to be released during the weekend because I am off for 2 weeks holiday from the 17 august till the 2 september.

And for the 2.0 with all new functionnalities, check out the planned release date in the thread first post.

Read the file "Installation" in the pack.

As yaoren stated, the upload files again is for user which have installed earlier v1.4 version before the vbadvanced integration modifications.

So if you do a new install, check the right install instructions which are clearly explained with an exact step by step of how to install it:)

Hi VBDev,

i love your Shoutbox and support and can't wait for 2.0 ;-)

My wish is to think more about Non-JavaScript user. An /announce as non-javascipt user in not working etc.

A second wish is to make the /announce command AJAX combatible, i hate to refresh the site, if not really needed. ;-)

Kind Regards,

Stoebi

[pmkb]

How does this mod compare to Flashchat (with the vB flashchat integration mods)? Has anyone done a comparison? I'm specifically interested in knowing how they compare in terms of server load/resources.

[srt10etr]

I have a few users getting this screen.... any suggestions??? thanks for a great mod btw...

I didn't really understand your phrase about the non-javascript thing.

You know that all the chatbox is built aroung javascript even the refresh thing through ajax so thinking about the non javascript users would lead to a complete different version as ajax won't work (it's based on javascript you know).

Regarding the announcement, yes this could maybe be done through ajax, I will think at it.

There could not be any real comparison between flashcat which is a real chat and my product which is only a chatbox.

I think my chatbox is not very server intensive :)

Hum this is strange, do you have any particular information about those users ? (configuration or any other information).

[benjaminbih]

@VBDev on translating the installation guides i found out that in the german and english readme.txt it says:


Accents
It is possible that some of you meet problems with accents in the messages of the Chatbox. This problem is inherent to the server and can't be easily managed without modification.

If you meet this problem, edit the file functions_mgc_chatbox.php and replace: $chatbox_utf8 = 0; by $chatbox_utf8 = 0;.


But it have to say the following such as it says in the france readme:

Probl?me d'accents
Il est possible que certains d'entre vous rencontrent des probl?mes d'accents dans les messages de la chatbox. Ce probl?me est inh?rent au serveur et ne peut pas ?tre g?r? ais?ment sans modification :-)

Si vous rencontrez ce probl?me, ?ditez le fichier functions_mgc_chatbox.php et remplacez : $chatbox_utf8 = 0; par $chatbox_utf8 = 1;


This have to be corrected

Greetings from Germany

[VBDev]

Sure this will :)

[schmidtm]

When I enable the product MGC Chatbox I get these errors on my forum:

Any Help?

Could you please explain what the difference is between a real chat and a chatbox? They both look like they are doing the same thing to me.

Thanks for the hint, I will correct the german readme in the next version.

[VBDev]

@schmidtm :

I think you haven't uploaded the includes/functions_mgc_cb.php file :)

@pmkb :

I think a real chat is something with rooms and else, which the chatbox don't exactly do the same way.

Of course they are similar in a way but using a chatbox as a chat could become hard to manage.

I think you should give them both a try to really view the differences.

[Lilyandy]

This was has translated partial the traditional Chinese language
family files

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=68259


How ask should completely the language family remove, please？

Thinking You~~~~~~^___^

[VBDev]

Hum, I think you've used an automatic translator coz I can't understand anything :(

What you want to say is that you partially translated the language file bu you search for someone to complete it that's right ?

[Stoebi]

Hi

@vBDev
Thanks for your answer :) Perhaps a option like "Should display shoutbox to Non-JavaScript user - Yes/No", or a notice, that "this" command is not supported without javascript activated?


Kind Regards,

Stoebi

[VBDev]

But I don't understand, this only this command which is not working with javascript users ?

If it was not working then the full chatbox wouldn't be working for those users.

[GoNz00]

i tried updating from 1.2 to 1.4 and it doesnt work, so i uninstalled the hack, reverted all templates and tried a fresh install. still the same, the refresh icon spins none stop, thats all it does?

[VBDev]

Does this give you an error in ie telling you that the action was forbid ?

[GoNz00]

no errors, says loading, and the loading gifs a spinning, in a loop.

[VBDev]

No javascript error at all with ie ?

[GoNz00]

i get an acess is denied on ie's faults

line 822
char 3
access is denied
code 0
url http//www.clandesertrats.co.uk.forums/

soon as i disable the product the error is gone.

[GoNz00]

working now, reinstalled 4 times?

[VBDev]

Yes so this error is the one experienced by a number of users.

I'll release the 1.5 version (which will only contain that bug correction) before going on holiday next week.

[GoNz00]

any chance you can tell us how to fix it in the mean time please?

thanks for all the hard work and efforts :)

chat works if i click on the archive then go back, otherwise im faced with the error and no load all the time.

[schmidtm]

When I enable the product MGC Chatbox I get these errors on my forum:


Any Help?
Thanks

That was stupid of me!! I read the instructions as to upload the "f" folder in the root not the contents..

Thanks

Hi,

great Chatbox thx.
I use vbcms from vbdesigns.de and i wish to use the Chatbox on the Portal.
Is there a way to globolize the chatbox for this portal??
I have put the code from vbadvanced but there comes the chatbox without buttons and shouts.

[schmidtm]

Hopefully final question,

I have all installed and set my permission in usergroups for the chat. I'm the superadmin and people with less privileges are able to access it. I have created a regular account and still am unable to access the chat. ???

Any help
Thanks

I have never used vbcms but I think it might use a function to print the portal.

So if the chatbox var is not globalize in that function then it won't be possible to make it worked well.

Hopefully final question,

Did you set the option to show the chatbox in your usercp to no ?

By the way have you done the modification to the modifyoptions template ?

[Roxie]

I thought I re-installed an older version (files/product) but afterwards it still looks and functions like the newer version...only, it works. lol

Who knows.

[schmidtm]

I have checked over the install and reinstalled too. The modifyoptions does include this:
$mgc_cb_ucp

If it supposed to be in the uscp edit options, it's not showing up? I'm not sure where this function is:
have the chatbox in your usercp to no

Thanks

[VBDev]

yes it is supposed to for users which have the right in their usergroup to access to the chatbox.
