MGC Chatbox (with AJAX)

[VBDev]

Thank you but this was already done by bocek.

Not added to the zip file coz I was waiting for the bug correction release to update the zip file.

[GoNz00]

any idea when the bug release is :)?

Hope you finalize the bug correction sooner :up:

In fact, the Chatbox is working fine, but I get tired to calm the users down, for version 1.5. :)

[aranthorn]

I dunno what I'm doing wrong, but I followed the readme instructions to the letter and it just does not show up on the portal (vbadvanced)

Did you try the following:

> 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 : adv_index 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.

[aranthorn]

Thanks! That was it!

Don't worry I am actually doing the update of my projects hack (non free one).

The chatbox is the next on my todo list ;)

[FCDobbs]

This is a fabulous add-on. Thanks a TON !!!

It installed cleanly and easily. Installed the English translations,
Once I had made all the admin adjustments, I then looked at the operation.

Hmmmm... there are 4 or 5 translations that did not happen.....
so I did them myself.

The "mouseover (hint)" for the "Show Chatbox in a New Page" button was still in French.
The "help" screen... for the "/pm" or "/mp" command was still in French.
A few more phrases had not been translated...
"de" should be "from"
"vous dit" should be "you said"

Actually it was quite simple to find these untranslated phrases... they show up as white text on the "Languages" screen, whereas the translated phrases show up as orange text.

The "help" screen.... the "close" button still shows in French (Fermer), and I don't know how to change it.

Obviously these "fixes" are easy to do; I just thought I would point them out to you.

Thanks again, for a great product.

[VBDev]

Yup I know I'll correct them, thanks for the hints :)

[Nowy]

Hi all!

VBDev thanks for the chatbox, but it does not work with my forum.
When I installed the hack I get blank main page. Have You any idea how fix this?

My forum is on http://zielonairlandia.pl

Thanks for help!

[VBDev]

A blank page ? A blank page can come from anything unfortunately.

Did you upload all files before installing the product ?

Have you made modifications to any of the elements before installing it ?

[dirty68]

Signs in to see if mister nice man Dev has done that fix for me :)



Nope damn it man lol

[VBDev]

lol I told ya this will be done before my holidays ;)

I haven't been able to do it yesterday as I hurt my ankle and this was suffering so wasn't that able to code ;)

[VBDev]

I am really sorry but I have just encountered serious personnal problems.

And due to that I am really far from being in the coding mood.

I hope this problem will be solved so that I could get better and do it after my holidays.

I'll keep you in touch.

[GoNz00]

o dear, hope all turns out okay for you, and anyone else involved.

[Nowy]

Yes, I uploaded all files before. I found error i my logs:
PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/includes/functions_mgc_cb.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in global.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 2

Any suggestions guys?

[chillingcafe]

Do you have removed not cleanly a style ?



i guess i did remove a style as soon as i upgraded to 3.6.8 and that messed every thing.


This was my original error and this is the same for all the versions.

[lolo?]

hello
there is a problem with netscape browser
Salut il y a un soucis avec netscape les messages depassent dans les forums

[nymyth]

I have this product installed and its great....I did a search for vbadvanced, however I didnt see a response.

This isnt to have it on my vbadvanced page, the problem I am having is getting it to show up in the navbar for vbadvanced. I tried adding mgc_chatbox.php to the replacements but nothing happened.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks

[silvermerc]

I think in next versions people should be able to save colours ect... Like when you log in it says Remeber me,Instead it says Save this With the box,That would make me v happy
Ross

[nymyth]

ALSO: if you set this for unregistered users, the chat box just shows <>, any chance it can read <unregistered> and not have it linked?

[slyreptile]

I'd love to use this as a Joomla module. Don't really care too much for vba. If anyone's accomplished this, please let me know.

[JakkFrosted]

Some help needed here...

I'm having trouble changing the background color in the chatbox, no matter what I do I can't get it to change. I'm no coder but I usually manage to find my way around php and html, I've added the bgcolor tag to every td and table and the best I get is parts of the chatbox changing color:confused:

When I right click in the chatbox to view background image I get taken to my forum's background image:confused:

Heres a link to my site if anyone wants to take a look and see what I mean (http://teamcrysis.net/forums/).

[nymyth]

Ok so I have figured out how to add the chatbox link onto the navbar for vbadvanced (thanks to Brian from vbadvanced)

Add these 2 lines to your "Portal Output Global Variables"
vboptions >> vba cmps >> default settings >> main options >> portal output global variables

chatbox_permission
template_hook

ENJOY

[Henry187]

When using the PM/MP channel, all of the messages that get sent are forced into an all lower-case string. (By the way, what does "MP" stand for...?) If you edit the messages in the PM channel, however, and use upper-case letters, they stay in their upper-cased format.

[FinanceGuy]

This hack is great, and I managed to install it quickly and easily, but I'm running into one major problem.

A few of my members have reported a problem after I installed it; the word "idle" appears in the shoutbox when access it. Even if they try typing something, or going to a new page, the text stays there and doesn't go away, meaning they can't read anything.

Help?

[Henry187]

So far, three of my members can't load the chatbox for some reason, and I'm not sure why. :( By the way, yes, I allowed the usergroups to see them.

[lucky51]

after upgrading user option i can't see chatbox even i have down graded again to old chatbox version 1.3 but still the problem remains . any help please

Go into the usergroups area in your Admin CP, and change the permissions of each of your usergroups (Admins, Registered users, etc.). The ability to see the chatbox is way at the bottom of the permissions page (after you've clicked the specific usergroup, of course).

[Ba$im]

[Terminot]

I've just installed all the files, but I've becomming a problem.

I see the chatbox on the forum, but there's always the message "loading".

Version board: 3.6.4

I've uploaded the files, also in the different styles map. I've changed the templates. I've imported both products.

Hopefully you can help me. :)

[gforce75]

Ok, I'm having a problem, but it's not my usergroup. It's all checked yes across the board... and yes, I triple checked over and over and moved them to admin and everything... still having this problem. Problem is that some users just logon and poof, chat box is gone. I have to prune their name to another account... move it and move it back. Onced moved back, they see it again, but then falls off. Squall_Leonhart on my forum is going bonkers. I have to look for another product and uninstall. Man, ... great chatbox

[dellow]

it is really gratest hack for vb.

[skepticality]

I am having this same problem...

Were you able to figure it out?

I just get 'loading...'

No matter how long I sit there...

I've just installed all the files, but I've becomming a problem.

I see the chatbox on the forum, but there's always the message "loading".

Version board: 3.6.4

I've uploaded the files, also in the different styles map. I've changed the templates. I've imported both products.

[skepticality]

Nevermind!

I figured it out after banging around. My darn .js files weren't in the correct directory!:up:

[angy82]

Hello.
I have just installed this nice plugin and I have a problem: the MGC Chatbox menu on the top don't works.
What I can do? Thanks in advance.

[WhyDoesItMatter]

Thinking about installing this. Anyway to display the chatbox in v3arcade?

thanks

[SJ073]

Alright,

I read all 87 pages of this thread and am also getting the same error when trying to edit group permissions:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE vb_usergroup SET

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'mgccustomusergroupperms' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054


Now I know the answer will be because both products are not installed. By this do you mean both product-mgc_bitfield_custom.xml and product-mgc_chatbox.xml are not uploaded to the server?

In my case both files are present on the server along with all the other files in their respective locations. So if that's what you mean by both products then I've got that covered. If that's not what you meant then what did you mean? :D

*Resolved*

Alright I'll jump on the grenade here......in the instructions:

# Import the product-mgc_bitfield_custom.xml product from the p folder.
# Import the produit product-mgc_chatbox.xml product from the p folder.

It says to import which does not mean copy. You have to go into Admin CP under Plugins and Products then select Add\Import Product and path to the xml files. Hehe I didn't get it the first time around. :P

[Za4a Tuner]

i installed the hack -> but the XHTML-validation vailed ---> there are something about 70 xhtml-errors.
will this be cleaned out in a newer version?

[gforce75]

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 ..



As I posted just recently, I'm having the same problem. Site owners, beware, your chatbox will disappear randomly. My users complained about it. Had to prune, move, and remake their accounts so they could see it. It just happened to me just now. I log on, poof it's gone, log off, it's there... and nope, it's not a usergroup error. You have to prune your account to a second one (merge it). Then delete the first account. Then you have to create the first account again, and then merge the second one to the first one to get it working. Great chat box, but err.... if I log onto my test account, it's there, so the error just randomly happens to users regardless of group.

And whoever the coder is, I spent 4 hours of doing random test. Moving groups, creating accounts, and etc. There is a bug and it's hard to catch. If you wanna test my account on my forum, just pm here and I'll send you my info so you can see.

Been using this brilliant mod on four of my (now) six boards, two of which are very heavily modded, all without any problems at all. Unable to comprehend how you manage to create these errors.

[gforce75]

Who knows? But the coder can use my logon and test it himself. Anyways, one of my users complained about it two months ago and laughed at the thought. I then a few days ago logged into his account and it did the same thing. Then I did what I posted above and worked. Now, I've been logged on all day and just recently, it disappeared just like his account. Just posting incase... because i really don't wanna replace this. I'll post some screenshots.

--------------------- Screenshots

Ok, I posted some screenshots. Look at the first picture. You can see Cloud07 in usergroup admin, number 2. There, I took a picture of the permissions. See it? Now look at the chatbox below... poof, not there.

Anways, look at the second picture. Ripfuel, is in the same usergroup and guess what.... you see the chatbox. Look @ the CHATBOX. What username do you see in there? You guessed right! Cloud07.

I was sufing this morning and made no changes to the forum. I logged back on and you can see that it's gone. One of my users had the same problem and if you notice the quote, this guy had the same problem.

Please look into this. Hey, it may work great for some, but there may some hidden bug. On top of that, this only happened after 1 month, so it just didn't come out of nowhere :p

Thanks for the read. I know it's a pain code :) I love chatbox and proud of my screenshots :p We got a mystery here!

[Ranger187]

I run this on 5 forums and all users can see it. I think it's something else if you have to do all that. How many hacks are you running?

[gforce75]

It's not the number of hacks that I'm running. If this was the case, then I should see the chatbox here or there, would work or not work at all. No, once this error occurs, you don't get the chatbox back unless you recreate your own account. Someone one else complained of the same error. But anyways, just putting it up incase :p

Have a good one :p

[Ranger187]

I think it's something else... Have you tried this on the default VB style and replicated it too? Meaning the uneditied/unhacked style?

[Za4a Tuner]

@ gforce75
did "ripful" changed his ersonal settings?
if yes -> maybe he deactivatet the shoutbox at his usercp !!!

[Ohiosweetheart]

I'm having a problem with the unregistered/not logged in usergroup not seeing the chatbox. I want them to see it, and I have it enabled in their usergroup, but it's not there for them.

any ideas??

i recieve the following error when trying to change the usergroup permissions so that they can see the chatbox, can anyone provide an explanation?

[GoNz00]

if you take the time to read back through the posts, obviously most of you have not, then you will see the last release is bugged up to the eyeballs, and the coder has gone away and does not know when he will be back to support it.

try the 2nd release as that seemed to be the stable one.

[gforce75]

na, it has nothing to do with ripfuel changing settings. I witnessed it myself when one of my other users let me log on their account. Same exact error. I did tons and tons of testing before posting about this. It reallly comes down to the chatbox randomly disappearing even with the usergroup enabled. If a chatbox disappears, you have to delete the account, merge it to another, and then move it back, and poof... chatbox comes back up. If i have to record a video, i will :p

[GoNz00]

You got a point. I'll install verison 1.2. 1.1 was stable for me before, but 1.4 is so great though :(
so great it causes an IE7 error on page load (check out the task bar)

yeh it looks nice, but unless it works whats the point..

[UgLy-NeRd]

I disabled my private messaging through my control panel, and it won't show for me anymore. Bug?

EDIT: Nevermind, my fault. Great product.

[gforce75]

So what's a chatbox good as this one?

[adnedarn]

Great product, lovin it! Had to downgrade to 1.3 due to that constant refreshing thing people talk about on 1.4. Looking foward to checking out the next version. keep it up!



I'm having a problem with the unregistered/not logged in usergroup not seeing the chatbox. I want them to see it, and I have it enabled in their usergroup, but it's not there for them.

any ideas??



Make sure you have nothing (0) entered for "Minimum number of posts required to use the Chatbox". :) Even though that reads "to use" if you only have "view" selected that's all they'll get.

[Ohiosweetheart]

Thanks, that was the problem, and I fixed it yesterday.

Today, however, is a new problem, lol.

The chatbox is getting hung up during refreshing, and the little circle thingee just keeps going 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and.... well, I'm sure you get my point :)
Then when it does finish the cycle, the posts in the chatbox do a big leap.

Any ideas?

[tiredoff]

installed but not display anything , any solution?

[adnedarn]

tiredoff- did you make sure to turn it "on"
vbulletin options -> MGC Chatbox : General Options --> Enable the chatbox? *yes*

then go to

vbulletin options --> usergroup manager --> edit usergroup --> and at the bottom set settings for "MGC Chatbox Permissions"

Sorry if this sounds basic, but you gave not much details....

[gforce75]

Ok, I pruned my accouned from cloud07 to cloud2007. Then I pruned it back again from cloud2007 to cloud07 and now it works again... errr

[Ohiosweetheart]

Obviously the /prune command doesn't work on this chatbox, as it does on others.
Can this be added? I look at the planned features for future versions and didn't see this.
The /prune function, to empty the chatbox is really invaluable.

Please??

[unitedpunjab]

any latest NEWS from MGC camp.. ??

[yahoooh]

i hope this product has new features like :

1. depend in java so it will not make high load by using mysql and php
2. using flash files to enable chat voice and video like 123flashchat

[Ohiosweetheart]

Thanks, that was the problem, and I fixed it yesterday.

Still waiting for help with this issue.. :(

[Allan]

VBDev is in vacancy ;)

[Ohiosweetheart]

It would seem so :(

[criscokid]

Just installed this mod and it looks REALLY good!

One problem I'm having is...

when the chatbox is being displayed in 'forumhome' the alt text for the icon to show the shoutbox on a new page is dispalyed in French rather than English even though I've got the English translated phrases installed:

setting_mgc_cb_fullmode_desc English (US) Translation Enable the Chatbox on a full page? <br />(url : url_forum/mgc_chatbox.php)
setting_mgc_cb_fullmode_desc Standard Phrase Active la possibilit&eacute;ed'afficher la chatbox sur une pleine page (url : url_forum/mgc_chatbox.php)

[da-chief]

Hey All,
If you read way back you would know that VBDEV had a family emergency but also had a planned 2 week Vacation the last 2 weeks of August and into Sept.

He wrote about it back a few pages.. ;-)

As for pruning your posts you can do it if your using 1.4.
To prune them all..
use the command:
/del all

If you want to be able to do one at a time you have to go into
Admin-->MGC Chatbox-->Shouts display-->Display Delete Cross in Chatbox

Hope that helps.

Hi pegguy

Yes, you're right, the command /prune doesn't work because it's the command /dell all to prune all messages of the chatbox

[da-chief]

Err I thought that was what I said Sophia.. :p

Have you heard from him at all? Hope everything is ok.

Thank you!

[andrewtr89]

Hmm, very nice mod. I seem to be having a problem with it though.

I think others have had this problem but I dont know if it was ever solved. When the shoutbox is viewed as a guest, it will say after 4 seconds that the user has been inactive, etc, etc, even though I have it set that it does not show that until after 5 minutes. It only happens to guests (on FF, and IE) so I dont know what the problem is. Also today my host contacted me about the shoutbox taking up way to much CPU Usage/Server Load...it seems like it is slowing the entire page down. I already had the stats option and team chat warn disabled to help on the server load. The last thing I can think of is making sure inactive counter works but I cannot use it if guests are counted as inactive after 4 seconds....Please help.

[aggiefan]

can this be used to replace something like flashchat? ive been looking for a replcement for a while but never have found something that will work. namely a more "standalone" version of this script where you have to enter a separate page to chat. ie this w/o being able to access from the forums and force people to go to a "chatroom" page where its the full version.

[maidos]

ok it seems the loading is fine ... when i enter www it works just fine but without www. i onlysee loading

[Injektilo]

I have this problem... I've doubled checked all the edits and everything and still i have this problem... The chatbox is being displayed but inside the chatbox it shows my website again, instead of the actual shouts...

what am i doing wrong here?

[adnedarn]

I believe I found the CAUSE of the dissapearing chat box.. It happened to my admin account and I don't want to change the config.php file to unprotect my name so I created another admin account.. This name, I can see the chat. All you have to do, is make any change (or no change) in your control panel and bam, it's gone. I deleted and recreated the new name and the chat is there. I went into my CP options, changed nothing, clicked save and the chat is gone. This is with version 1.3. Maybe that information will help fix the problem Untill then.. Hope no one changes their CP options. Did you others that have experienced this happen to change something in your CP?

-Andrew


EDIT!

You can restore the accounts by uninstalling the 2 products that come with this, and reinstalling them. You will need to restore usergroup permissions though. and you will lose your logs and such.

[theOZer]

Running V3.6.8, MGC Chatbox V1.2 (tried V1.4 but it was too unstable), using browser IE6 & IE7.
Read thru all 90 pages of posts, didn't see anything about this problem:

At 1024x768 resolution the chatbox box extends to the right side, off screen. You have to pan over to the right to see the BBcode, Smilies, Help buttons, and to read long chat lines. At 1280x1024 Chatbox displays just fine.

P.S. Other than that, Chatbox Rules! An occasional refresh twirly hangup, but, hey, this is a great hack; gets people on my forum more involved, makes the forum more intimate.

POSTSCRIPT - Sept 1, 2007
It was a self-inflicted wound!
If you go past 75 for the "Width of the field input" it causes the chatbox to start over extending to the right.

[Kelmar]

Dev, hope your hols are going well and you're all rested.

I'll pop back after the 2nd to see if you've got ver.1.5 done. ;)

Hello all !

I am just back from holidays.

I'll be looking at all the messages since I left tomorrow, an update correcting the loading problem will be available in the upcoming weeks.

Clément

[silvermerc]

i have a new problem. Certain people cant see the shoutbox anymore, they could see it before a few days ago and it works fine for most people but tere about 3 people that cant see it at all. They havnt been banned or anything, there usergroup setting are correct also so now i dont know what to try

[chariotdriver]

We just installed this and I noticed that when the Box is minimized, the box collapses then the previous shouts pop back open even though the text entry field is hidden properly.
Is this how it is supposed to work, or is everything supposed to collapse like other boxes?
Thanks,
Phil

[Hendrizius]

Hello. Could you implent this mod into VBadvanced? :)

[VBDev]

2 weeks away is too much to handle carefully all the problems that have been encountered while I was away. So I?ll do my possible to answer to all the questions.

All my personal problems are solved now so you shouldn?t worry anymore, I am back !

The version 1.4 is quite unstable I know it and you should stop asking about loading problem coz they all come from that point ;)

Anyway the 1.5 version development will start soon. I?ll try to release a bug fixing version as soon as possible but this will take a little bit more time as my girlfriend is coming to live with me J I?ll try to release it quickly.

Here are my answers, I hope you?ll not get too lost but this was a real pain to manage.

@chillingcafe : Regarding your style problem, I don?t think that it?s a chatbox issue. I suppose you encounter that problem even if you do a small modification in the css ? You should rather ask for help on that part on vbulletin.com as it?s more general than a chatbox problem.

@lolo?: Ok that?s an issue, I put it in the bugs? list

@silvermerc: the color and text types can be saved from within the usercp in all versions since the 1.1

@nymith: yes I add it the <unregistered> thing to the todo list

@Jackfrosted : the chatbox background is linked to the forum background as there are no specified chatbox background color, this is pure html modification I think, I?ll add something to the todo list to see if I can do a vb option for that or a css option.

@Henry187: yes thanks for the bug notification; this is noted in the todo list J

@Henry187 and lucky51: Regarding the fact that the chatbox doesn?t appear for some of your members, you should check if you have done the modification in the modifyoption template. Coz if it?s not the case then any modifications of their options by the users would lead to that kind of strange thing.

@Ba$im: You should use a merge and compare utility for that purpose.

@Terminot: Did you get the same error with the 1.3 version ?

@gforce75: this should be the same problem as for Henry187 and lucky51, if the modifyoptions template is not modified and your users modify their options then the hide chatbox option will be set to 1 as this option won?t be present (coming with the template modification).

@dellow: Not sure as I don?t have my computer there but I think I hardcoded it in the online hooks (yes I know that?s bad)

@catmandoes: Yes I know, but as I do it for free during my spare time I didn?t find the time for it yet

@godarium: The error is in the readme French file don?t worry J , the correction is planned for the upcoming version

@baghdad4ever : I am not author for the Arabic language file so I can?t help sorry, regarding the search thing, this is not possible but that could be interesting yes, I put it in the todo list.

@angy82: What do you mean by not working ?

@WhyDoesItMatter: I haven?t personnaly tried to sorry as IBproarcade was the most used arcade mod.

@Za4a Tuner: yes I know I have to do that xhtml validation too :D

@Ohiosweetheart : the command is not /prune but /del look at the help in the chatbox ;)

@theOzer: this is due to all buttons in the 1.2 version, this is why I did smaller button for the new versions, you?ll have to wait till the next version

@Traxdata: I think you made the modifyoptions template modification wrongly.

@silvermerc: and the option in their usercp is correctly set ?

@chariotdrived: this is normal functioning, set the number of shouts in collapsed mode to 0 to hide completely the shouts J

@Hendrizius: read the thread post, it?s already done ;)

[adnedarn]

Going about the information above, I checked my second (default but modified by me) skin and the template changes hadn't merged over to it.. So even though we could all see the chatbox, the template changes were not made and we didn't have the options in our CP and that's why saving in the CP booted us from the box. That's my fault.

So now statistics show and everything, except I can't figure out this "mgc box" to the right of my top advertisement... What did I do wrong please :( Thanks!
Andrew


EDIT: got it, in my skin the navbar code is actually in the header template. I found the spot, put the code in and it's working fine!

OH and welcome back, I'm glad everything has worked out for you at home :)

[Hendrizius]

Works like a charm!

Another suggestion: you should make this shoutbox integrateable into the left or right columns of the VBadvanced index. That were another awesome addon for portal Users : ).

[Ohiosweetheart]

@Ohiosweetheart : the command is not /prune but /del look at the help in the chatbox ;)

I did and got the help, thank you. However I still have a problem a few posts back that you must have missed. And that is -

The chatbox continues to get hungup on the forumhome. the round refresh image between the text line and the OK button just keeps going round and round and round. The only way to break the cycle is to click on the Archives link, be taken to the Chat archives, then go back to forumhome, where the chatbox will then load.

We have to do this almost every time we open forumhome.

Any ideas what to do?

[gforce75]

thanks man. i have my faith restored with you :p

[masterweb]

I know there are problems with arabic language and ajax technology but I am not really used to.

As I don't understand arabic and don't possess a arabic keyboard I unfortunately hardly can debug that :(

For the shouts saving it is the same problem I think but that one might be solved by changing the header filetype I'll look at it but for the previous one, I don't really know how to debug.

Actually no there aren't sorry.

Your only solution would be to add manually the ban in the mgc_chatbox_ban table (+ setting the corresponding field in the user table).

[ViViD]

For the smilies this is just the smilies corresponding to the usergroup, this is not chatbox dependant.

how can i make that exactly

plz reply

While I am looking at how you could do that, I see there is a bug in the ban cron...

What you have to do to manually ban a user is the following :

Go in phpmyadmin
Insert the following entry in the mgc_chatbox_ban table
userid = userid of the user you want to ban
bandate = 1188970265 (this was an earlier timestamp of today)
liftdate = 1767157200 (a timestamp far away in 2025)
whoid = 1 (id of the user that made the ban so supposing you are the first admin)
Then go in the user table, find the user you are currently trying to ban and edit its fields. Set the mgc_chatbox_estbannit field to 1.
That's all folk !

[Ohiosweetheart]

Hum that's strange, maybe this is the main 1.4 problem which is causing that but not sure.

Any javascript error shown in the internet explorer status bar ?


No, there is no error showing at all. Just says Done. I've attached a screenshot. I took this after it was like that for about 4 mins. The little progress icon just kept going round and round. This happens almost every single time we return to forumhome. My members are really complaining about it.

[VBDev]

I haven't had time yet to start coding. I now live with my girlfriend since sunday so I have much to do and haven't had time for vbulletin.

If you look the done is not clean as there is an error icon near it, you should have error explanation if you double click on it.

I have a problem using it with VBadvanced. In the chatbox the Links to the member-profiles should be replaced to "http://www.d3scene.com/forum/meberidsxx.php.

You're right. I got this error. It's on all of the skins, so I'm assuming that it has something to do with IE7 since I don't have this problem at all with Firefox.

[Reece^B]

Just to say, installed and I won't be using.

Your default language should have been English, the install guide was poor I mean there's no need to abbreviate folder names.

Lastly when I went to integrate with my vBa CMPS I got a lovely SQL error.

[Ohiosweetheart]

ummmmm... I think I fixed my own problem vBDev, lol. I'm embarrassed now. :erm:

Lastly when I went to integrate with my vBa CMPS I got a lovely SQL error.

I don't see why english should have been the default language... What if every people with a different language say so ? I decided to make french the default language as it's easier for my development and then I provide the english translation so I don't see where the problem is.

Regarding the folder names this is done in order to provide something generic regarding languages. And the install guide state which files is found in which directory so you shouldn't have any problems...

Regarding your error in vBa CMPS, someone reported that problem once here but as I am not very very used to vBa, I don't know what the problem is and was unable to reproduce it unfortunately.

[Ohiosweetheart]

@ Reece^B - You've got to be kidding! There are almost as many people here that don't speak english. Why shouldn't the developer code this in his own language? It's not THAT hard to install the proper language, I mean really, he couldn't have made it any easier.

The install guide is so well laidout and documented, I don't see how anyone can say it is poor. That's just silly.

Hello, I seem to be having a big problem... I just transfered my forum to another server and when reinstalling mgc shoutbox I get this error. It is the only thing that shows on the forum. Dont know how to fix :confused:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: add_serialized_cb_params_to_userinfo() in /home/pspcubec/public_html/forum/global.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 24

[Ice794]

I've just spent absolutely ages installing this shoutbox. Gone through everything at least twice...more on certain steps. Once it's all installed and everything, the shoutbox just isn't showing.

I really can't figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong. I've installed on the default style and on a custom style. Still no joy.

Is this a common problem that people have experienced or did I really screw it up.

Any help apriciated.


Edit: Also, when I remove the file functions_mgc_cb, my board will not run.

I get this error:


Warning: Unknown(/homepages/15/d151923849/htdocs/includes/functions_mgc_cb.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 2

Therefore I have to leave it on my server in order to keep my forum working. Any idea what's causing this problem? I have uninstalled just as the instructions say.

If I do leave that file on the server, will it make my board vunerable at all?

B?n.

B?n.

That's because the product-mgc_chatbox file that you imported is still active. I just checked, and there are some "require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_mgc_cb.php');" which force the file to be included - if it's not found, and can't be included, the script stops, and the relative (or is it absolute?) path is shown. Disabling, or uninstalling the product should fix it. Don't forget that there are two products that you'd have to disable/uninstall.

Also for suggestions for 1.5:

Less server dependent: All my hosts i've been with have complained about the shoutbox using too much CPU Usage, even when I have it using as few SQL Queries as possible. Usually less than 10 people in it at once.

The Loading Error. I get this too sometimes - not always.

Also, one so as to allow administrators to be protected from all other usergroups with mod over the shoutbox.

Overall, favorite mod on vbulletin. Keep up the good work. :D

I also have the loading problem all the time now. Its only on Internet Explorer. It only does this (as far as I know) with guests. Ihave to ask some of my members how it is

Also completely unrelated, ever since I've used the shoutbox the inactivity 'timer' doesnt work. No matter what its set to if you view it as a guest, it will give you the 'you are inactive in the shoutbox' after only several seconds.

To lower server usage, you might put a smaller refresh time as this would probably lower the CPU usage.

Sql queries doesn't have much consequences on the CPU usage unless they are much complicated.

I have both, and will test. :)

Can you send me an address where I can send you a corrected version (like an alpha 1.5) to be sure that those problems are solved in the current development version.

Also completely unrelated, ever since I've used the shoutbox the inactivity 'timer' doesnt work. No matter what its set to if you view it as a guest, it will give you the 'you are inactive in the shoutbox' after only several seconds.

Oh yes ! I didn't thought about guests and inactivity ... This shall be considered as a bug, I'll put it in the todo list.

[AllenSam]

I can test the endless loading problem.

[HEATSEEKERBUNGE]

I uninstalled this mod and it left the usergroup options for the mod and now when i try to update the usergroups i get a mysql error can someone help with this?

[VBDev]

I can test the endless loading problem.

Ok send me an address where I can contact you and send you an alpha version to see if the problem is gone.

I uninstalled this mod and it left the usergroup options for the mod and now when i try to update the usergroups i get a mysql error can someone help with this?

This is because you didn't removed the bitfield_mgc_chatbox.xml file from the includes/xml directory before uninstalling the products (which cause the usergroup options to be still there).

To correct that, you have to remove the file and then rebuild manually the bitfields.

Bitfields can be manually rebuild by adding a line to the config.php file (I don't remember exactly the syntax but do a small search and I am sure you'll find it) and then going into the acp in the vbulletin options menu.

Great mod. Easy install and my members love it. Simple integration into Arcade.

Thanks a lot, look forward to next version too.

[baghdad4ever]

plz make in the next version

tha banning by the number of username

not by username itself

thanks

[Doctor Death]

When I installed, I did NOT do anything with the CSS as I was unsure of where it was to be put. It appears to work great anyway, is this a critical part of this mod? If it is, can you be more specific on where I need to put the CSS data? I am running 3.6.8.

Thanks again, great mod.

This is in the todo list for the 2.0 version (item 11).

No this is not critical at all. You have to go in the style & templates manager then in the dropdown menu select Main CSS.

On the new page go to the bottom and add the code in the First of the two last textarea boxes.

[Dyrnwyn]

Best shoutbox/chatbox ever. The design is slick, the interface very intuitive and adaptable to your needs. Editing is a snap as is moderation and deletion. Excellent mod!

[baghdad4ever]

can you add restricted words to chat

instead of depending on restricted words of forum

bec

in chat i dont allow any url to be written

but in forum ok

thanks

[357Magnum]

can some1 help me out please? i got the shoutbox working and everythign but for some reason..it is just a box with the shouts in it. the formating options, refresh button, smilies and everything else do not show up and I can't figure out why. it'd be easier to just look at my site to see what I mean. http://www.devil-riders.com/vb/index.php

thanks!

[FelixFlow]

wow im having lots of problems installing this!!!

in the install instructions, the "navbar" template part:

it says:

"In the additional CSS, add:

/** DEBUT MGC CHATBOX **/
.mgc_cb_date {
color : #555555;
}

.mgc_cb_me {
color : #FF0000;
}
/** FIN MGC CHATBOX **/

^ where exactly does that go???

[357Magnum]

ya that one confused me at first also. its not in the navbar template

in one of ur template editors for ur styles, go to the top drop down menu that says all style options and go to Main CSS. the additional CSS is at the very bottom of that page

^ new problem here

[Ohiosweetheart]

Sorry vBDev - the endlessly loading problem is still endlessly loading :(

[357Magnum]

Felix, you may have done what i did wrong when i upload the contents of the F file into the forum folder. make sure you go into the F and drag the actual contents. not just drag the f folder as a whole. because then it will create an f folder inside ur forum folder and when u do these debug things it wont know wtf to look at it :)

[357Magnum]

ok so here is what it looks like for me in firefox:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/09/33.jpg

and here is what it looks like for me in IE

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/09/34.jpg

any ideas? id really appreciate some help.

[HEATSEEKERBUNGE]

alright thx man the file is removed now but idk the bitfields code so gotta get that

[357Magnum]

got it! lol

[FelixFlow]

okay, i completely uninstalled it & started over...i cant get it to work, or show up :confused:



New installation

1. Upload the files from the f folder in your forum folder (For the images folder, don't forget to add its contents in each of your styles folders). DONE

2. Import the product-mgc_bitfield_custom.xml product from the p folder. DONE

3. Import the produit product-mgc_chatbox.xml product from the p folder. DONE

4. Import the language file:
In the admincp, go in : Languages & Phrases >> Download / Upload Languages
Click on the Browse button and select the language file from the l folder
In the overwrite language dropwdown, select the language in which you want to install the chatbox phrases.
Select yes for Ignore language version.
Click on import.
DONE

5. Do the following templates modifications for each of your styles. DONE * note: "in the additional css, add:" <-- not sure where that goes (instructions are very vague)...i used the drop-down menu in the Style Manager to select "Main CSS", and I pasted the "/** DEBUT MGC CHATBOX **/" code in the bottom-most box under "Additional CSS Definitions"


6. If you use the chatbox on all pages feature with global var, add in the corresponding templates the $mgc_chatbox variable wherever you want the chatbox to be shown. huh?? can i get this in layman-terms please?? :confused:




so, i seem to have (most) everything installed correctly....i went thru and edited permissions of all usergroups so they can see/use the chatbox

i must be close cause i didnt get any errors & everything i did went okay...so can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong or what i'm NOT doing???


:(

[VBDev]

:(

[VBDev]

5 : this is good.

6 : this must be done only if you try to show the chatbox on all pages but you should first try to show it on basic pages ;)

In the usergroup permissions, have you put a logical number of posts to see the chatbox ? If yes, then have you tried modifying the position where the chatbox is shown ?

ahhhh, i imported from a phbBB database...the minimum posts were set to 10 to use/view the chatbox....apparently it doesnt take into account the imported post count, but only new posts in VB

i changed that number to "1" and its working perfectly!!!


also, adding code in the templates (#6) was unnecessary because in the admin panel, the mgc options, there's pre-built options to position it on what/where that worked just fine!!


thank you !!!

I haven't re-installed the chatbox on my local forum. Have you try at least to search what do modify ? ;)

I tried to remove it via phpmyadmin, but I couldn't find "showdonor" or "field list" anywhere.

when a user is invisible, the user can't see the chat box.

any fix?

This is maybe because you didn't cleanly uninstall that mod.

A bitfield xml file must be remaining in the includes/xml directory which belongs to that mod. You should remove it and then rebuild the bitfields manually to correct that problem.

thanks

In that template search for :

$chatbit[time]

And replace each occurence of it by :

[$chatbit[time]]

[Ice794]

That's because the product-mgc_chatbox file that you imported is still active. I just checked, and there are some "require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_mgc_cb.php');" which force the file to be included - if it's not found, and can't be included, the script stops, and the relative (or is it absolute?) path is shown. Disabling, or uninstalling the product should fix it. Don't forget that there are two products that you'd have to disable/uninstall.




That sorted it. Thankyou Henry :)

but after your reply..the issue solved

its fine now...thanks:)

Can you look at the error by double clicking on it and telling me what it says plz.Sure but it's the exact same error as before -
see screen shot.

[VBDev]

The mgc_chatbox template before the install of the alpha version I sent you was the original one or did you modified it before ?

If it was modified you have to revert it.

It should have fixed it :(

Edit :

OMFG ... I am too stupid, It just come to my mind that I partially corrected the problem and that other parts needs to be modified.

I'll send you an updated version tonight (GMT + 1).

The issue of the sql error related to 'showdonors' is resolved.

I figured it out with help from a tip from vb.com. I had to manually go through possible plugins and find the culprit and delete. There were still plugins from this hack installed, I removed them, and everything is ok. Thanks for the help though. ;)

[apokphp]

delete me

[apokphp]

Also, do secondary usergroups that someone may be in, affect the permissions of the primary usergroup? That is, can someone be in 2 groups, but 1 group be able to see the shoutbox, the other group not be able to see the shoutbox...and have the first group override the second in this instance?

I never dig into that part of vBulletin but I think that additional usergroup permissions override primary one.

I am not sure but you could run a test to see and share the answer with us :)

So as you can see from Ohiosweetheart message, 1.5 is on the way with the main 1.4 bug corrected :)

I'll work on adding new features tomorrow as I have a long train journey and will release it this weekend !

[carlos2000]

I have the same endless loading problem. Any idee what's the problem or any solution to fix the bug?

[VBDev]

Read the posts ;)

It's a main bug in 1.4 occuring on some forums and it's actually corrected in the new version (previous post in red).

Just wait for sunday or monday and the new version without that problem will be out.

[Ohiosweetheart]

Only problem is, I discovered this morning, I can't add it to vbacmps. I don't care if it's on there anyway, but someone else might.

Have a safe train ride!

I'm trying to install and very new at all of this. I'm at the stage in the instructions where it says In the additional CSS, add :

.mgc_cb_date {

}

.mgc_cb_me {
color : #FF0000;

/** FIN MGC CHATBOX **/

And I'm afraid I'm a bit dense as I don't understand what this means. (I understand I need to add that code, but I don't understand what additional CSS is or how I access it.

OK, I've spent close to two hours using the search thread function, and just browsing through the 98 pages in this thread. I couldn't find anything to answer the one question I have.

Overall this is a great mod, I really like it far better than regular vbshout.

What I'm wanting to do, though, is just have it show in 1 forum, instead of every single forum. We run a radio station for our forums, and we have a dedicated radio forum. This is the only forum that we want the chatbox in. Is there some way I can place this chatbox in just this forum?

"As is" it is impossible, it would need chatbox plugin code tuning.

[profanitytalker]

It says on mine when I try to install the english language that it is made for 3.6.7 not 3.6.8. Any help on this?

[VBDev]

You must check the skip language version box (not sure of the name but you should easily find it :))

[silvermerc]

Their is no option in usercp?
2 weeks away is too much to handle carefully all the problems that have been encountered while I was away. So I?ll do my possible to answer to all the questions.

All my personal problems are solved now so you shouldn?t worry anymore, I am back !

The version 1.4 is quite unstable I know it and you should stop asking about loading problem coz they all come from that point ;)

Anyway the 1.5 version development will start soon. I?ll try to release a bug fixing version as soon as possible but this will take a little bit more time as my girlfriend is coming to live with me J I?ll try to release it quickly.

Here are my answers, I hope you?ll not get too lost but this was a real pain to manage.

@chillingcafe : Regarding your style problem, I don?t think that it?s a chatbox issue. I suppose you encounter that problem even if you do a small modification in the css ? You should rather ask for help on that part on vbulletin.com as it?s more general than a chatbox problem.

@lolo?: Ok that?s an issue, I put it in the bugs? list

@silvermerc: the color and text types can be saved from within the usercp in all versions since the 1.1

@nymith: yes I add it the <unregistered> thing to the todo list

@Jackfrosted : the chatbox background is linked to the forum background as there are no specified chatbox background color, this is pure html modification I think, I?ll add something to the todo list to see if I can do a vb option for that or a css option.

@Henry187: yes thanks for the bug notification; this is noted in the todo list J

@Henry187 and lucky51: Regarding the fact that the chatbox doesn?t appear for some of your members, you should check if you have done the modification in the modifyoption template. Coz if it?s not the case then any modifications of their options by the users would lead to that kind of strange thing.

@Ba$im: You should use a merge and compare utility for that purpose.

@Terminot: Did you get the same error with the 1.3 version ?

@gforce75: this should be the same problem as for Henry187 and lucky51, if the modifyoptions template is not modified and your users modify their options then the hide chatbox option will be set to 1 as this option won?t be present (coming with the template modification).

@dellow: Not sure as I don?t have my computer there but I think I hardcoded it in the online hooks (yes I know that?s bad)

@catmandoes: Yes I know, but as I do it for free during my spare time I didn?t find the time for it yet

@godarium: The error is in the readme French file don?t worry J , the correction is planned for the upcoming version

@baghdad4ever : I am not author for the Arabic language file so I can?t help sorry, regarding the search thing, this is not possible but that could be interesting yes, I put it in the todo list.

@angy82: What do you mean by not working ?

@WhyDoesItMatter: I haven?t personnaly tried to sorry as IBproarcade was the most used arcade mod.

@Za4a Tuner: yes I know I have to do that xhtml validation too :D

@Ohiosweetheart : the command is not /prune but /del look at the help in the chatbox ;)

@theOzer: this is due to all buttons in the 1.2 version, this is why I did smaller button for the new versions, you?ll have to wait till the next version

@Traxdata: I think you made the modifyoptions template modification wrongly.

@silvermerc: and the option in their usercp is correctly set ?

@chariotdrived: this is normal functioning, set the number of shouts in collapsed mode to 0 to hide completely the shouts J

@Hendrizius: read the thread post, it?s already done ;)

[VBDev]

Then it's because you haven't made the modifications in the modifyoption template.

Check the install instructions :)

[pericolosogr]

i followed the steps for the language installation and it screwed up everything,
i have the greek language in utf-8, when i did it with the english language it worked fine but with the greek it was a hell!
is there any other way to import the english phrases?
i deleted both my languages and reinstalled...now i have to make the translations again for the rest of the mods:(

[VBDev]

This is because the english language file encoding is different than the greek one.

You have to edit the xml file change the encoding to be utf-8 and it should to the trick.

1.5 development is finished but now I have to update the language files and readme.

So it will be ready soon but it took a little time :)

I know I am killing you up but releasing a hack always take more time than developping it :D

[VBDev]

Chatbox updated to v1.5 !

[skepticality]

Woot!

Downloading now!

Chatbox updated to v1.5 !

[andrewtr89]

Nice Update VBDev.

Seem to be having a problem though. I followed the update instructions to go from 1.4 to 1.5 and get this error when trying to install the new xml product:


XML Error: junk after document element at Line 366

[TeamR[1]]

]Chatbox updated to v1.5 !


You, are a sexy sexy man

[itsblack]

It seems that the product file is incomplete: it includes the french phrases only!

[TeamR[1]]

Importing product-mgc_chatbox.xml returns the following:

XML Error: junk after document element at Line 366

[ragtek]

have anybody here tried to build this as an "dynamic popup wich can be available on every site????"
for example: http://test.thecodecentral.com/demos/lightbox/lightbox.html#void (minibrowser)
that would be realy cool i think

[Karabaja]

Error here as well:

XML Error: Invalid document end at Line 366

There is also a backup file of the product in the zip which is bigger in size, but I am not to keen on trying that one until author replies.
Thanks for the new version btw VBDev

I just saw that as well. I'm a little more daring! hehe

I tried it, and it seems to have worked. If your desperate, use the backup. If not, wait for the author to let us know what the deal is

[Anhyeu12000]

Yes Error : XML Error: Invalid document end at Line 366

[VBDev]

Zip file updated sorry !

In fact the backup file was ok :)

[TeamR[1]]

Nice work, bro.

It's working great! Cheers

[teach1st]

Newbie question, maybe, but what does "reinitialize chatbox modified templates" in the upgrade instructions mean?

PS - Thanks for a great product! My students love it!

[VBDev]

If you have done modification to a template of the chatbox.

You need to revert the templates (select the template and then click on revert on the right :))

[teach1st]

Thanx!

[Karabaja]

Thx VBDev,
I installed backup file, couldn't wait :)
I don't know why I never remember to use a test board I installed.

Anyway,
I don't see any of the new features in admin panel:
Like:
"Option to deactivate the random smilies."
for example.

And I am still the only one in chatbox when checking who's online.
Edit: I just noticed who's online is in To Do list.

[uberbucket]

Probably a sloppy install on my part:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'nbmsgshowchatbox' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

[gothicuser]

However, due to the modification, the integration with vBadvanced is no more working and I didn’t had the time to find out why (it seems more complicated than I thought to debug). I hope to make it available again in the next version.
Well, we'll just have to skip a version.......

This is in the shouts formatting option.

Query: Will you have my children?

[TeamR[1]]

]I did miss one actually, but now I have the trendy "XML Error: Invalid document end at Line 366" error. :cool:

Get the updated .zip

[uberbucket]
