MGC Chatbox (with AJAX)

[baghdad4ever]

hi vbdev

i change the host

and the chatbax doesnt work

i write any thing but the word dont appear in the box

MySQL 5.0.27-standard

php 5.2.4

what is the wrong??

[VBDev]

I'd rather that too :) I'll remind you after the release and maybe you can check on it for me.
Thanks!

Sure I rather prefer that :)

Nothing seems wrong with your configuration.

Does the shouts appear in the archives ?

[baghdad4ever]

there is no anything in archieve

bec my forum closed for 10 days before transfere

so it will be deleted automatically after 5 days

[VBDev]

But I mean, when you make a shout, does it appear in the archive ?

Have you any error in ie shown by the browser ?

[madotds]

Hi Thank you for this chat box :) a very nice bit of kit indeed but if i could be as bold to ask for a request:o

Would it be possible to have some sort of audible notification when there is a new shout in the chat box? This would mean members could open the chat box in one window and carry on surfing the forum in another safe in the knowledge that they haven't missed a reply to there shout.
Preferably the user would be able to turn this on or off via the chat box and that it would be off by default
Dont know if this is possible but i thought i would ask :)

Keep up the good work

For the moment it's not possible.

I am trying to do major changes of the chatbox code for the next version so I can't tell you wether or not it'll be in the next version.

On your new host, all other ajax functionnalities are working smoothly ?

If I only want it to show in forumid 49, what do I have to do, I feel like Ive tried everything.

To do that "AS IS" it's not possible.

You would have to edit the plugin attached to forumhome_complete, and put all the code in the plug into a :
if ($foruminfo[forumid] == "49") { /* code of the plugin */ }

[madotds]

Cheers for the reply vb I look forward to the next version Top modder :)

[baghdad4ever]

i notice this problem with reputation system also

not work with arabic??

what is your advice plz

[VBDev]

And do you encounter the problem with the quick reply ?

[flyboyindy]

First of all...this is INCREDIBLE! I was running flash chat before this...and all the members of my club love your work! I would like to change the title in the main nav bar to just "chat"... instead of MGC Chatbox.. how do I do that?

[baghdad4ever]

And do you encounter the problem with the quick reply ?

yes i have problem with the quick reply specially in arabic letters

[yahoooh]

yes i have problem with the quick reply specially in arabic letters

Nope I think you have to edit the mgc_chatbox phrase in the phrase manager.

yes i have problem with the quick reply specially in arabic letters

Then I think it's a problem coming from your host.

I experienced the same problem some time ago on the vb-hacks old host and we had problems with the accents.

This must be the same problem, but I bearly don't know how to correct that :(

[VBDev]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to post a bit of information about the chatbox v2.0 update.

I have planned to do a major modification on the next version of the chatbox as you might have heard about :)

My idea is a bit "enormous" and I haven't really thought about how I would code it until know.

I think I'll not be able to release the new version at the end of october as I stated before due to this evolution in the chatbox.

I first need to clear my mind on how I'll do that exactly, but I think I'll come to a cool solution in the coming days. This will be a major modification of the code which I think will need kinda full rewrite of the code.

I hope this evolution will bring the mgc chatbox experience to a level higher than today. It will be awesome !

I'll keep you in touch of the advance of the project as soon as I'll have started to go further in the development.

Speak to you soon about the chatbox modification !

[class101]

cool dude , take your time , this version must rock some time again hehe , keep it up

[baghdad4ever]

thanks vbdev

i solve it now:D:D

by put some code in .htaccess

and the problem fixed

thanks:rolleyes:

[zagman76]

When I ban a user from chat (on my beta/testing area) - the PM they get is in French, and I can't seem to find where to change this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

[baha]

I is can' t loading .. (v1.5) ! help me pls..

[jupiter5]

I use love style and 3.6.8. version. How can I reduce chatbox width? I could not find it.

[Audentio]

You would have to edit the plugin attached to forumhome_complete, and put all the code in the plug into a :
if ($foruminfo[forumid] == "49") { /* code of the plugin */ }

I did that, but now it doesnt show up at all.

EDIT: Instead of forumhome_complete, I did forumdisplay_complete and it works fine :).

What if I wanted multiple forums instead of just 49. Would I write it like this?
if ($foruminfo[forumid] == "49,50") { /* code of the plugin */ }

Because I dont think its working like that.

All other part of the chatbox are in english on your forum ?

Have you uploaded the js files ?
Any errors in ie ?
Is this a clean install or an update ?

Diminish the form input width and try also to deactivate some bbcode.

I did that, but now it doesnt show up at all.

Yes sorry lol... Must have been not well awoken :D

If you want it to show on other forums, you could do that:


if (in_array($foruminfo[forumid],array(49,50))) {
/* your code */
}

[Audentio]

Works perfect, A+++ for support and the mod :P.

The product title remain in french. However, if you read carefully the readme file, you'll see that you have to import the english language file to get it in french :)

[yoyoyoyo]

[VBDev]

Oh then it's a bug, there might be missing phrases in the translation !

As I will do kinda full rewrite of the chatbox code for the new version, I'll check that out ;)

Ok a new problem has arrived. Almost everything works except for the ability to see the buttons. They have been installed inall parts of the image folder with no luck in seeing then. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

[IR15H]

I'm having problems when changing a user's usergroup.

Let's say I have 2 usergroups, A and B, existing members of each usergroup can see and use the shoutbox fine. However, if I change a user from group A to group B, or vice versa, they are no longer able to see or use the shoutbox, despite having the group permissions to do so. This also occurs if I keep a member's primary group, but add addtional usergroups.

You have uploaded them in all the styles folder of your forum in the misc directory ?

Hum the first one is a strange behaviour !

Regarding the second one, does the secondary usergroups have access to the chatbox ?

I won't dig further in your problem until the release of the next version as this strange behaviors might not be present anymore so I would rather prefer you wait for the next version and confirm me of the bug disapearance.

I hope you will understand my position :)

Just as well as you didn't dig further as I figured it out, it was because of the minimum post count requirement to "use" it (I thought they'd still see it as that's a seperate option). The user met the post requirements in their original group, but not in the ones I moved them too, when adding aditional groups the higher post count must override the lower one, which must be why that didn't work either :erm:. Anyway, all sorted now :).

Out of interest, do you have an ETA for your next release?

[axi]

im interested in this one! 3 questions-

- anyone got a working demo of this they can show off??

- compatible with 3.6.7??

- when will the vba cmps module be out for it??

must be compatible 3.6.7 yup

you can see page 115 I have posted step at step mod to integrate it to cmps, there is 3 few more things in addition to vbdev's intructions to make it working, guess will be fixed in next 2.0

For the moment, I haven't started the code itself but as it's a major change of the chatbox code itself, I am thinking of the implementation on the paper (ie writing down how the code will be).

I have know a good idea of the way to code it so I am going to start coding when I get back from holiday next week.

There is no demo site has the only forum I have requires users to be logged in to see the chatbox.

Other answers from class101 are correct :)

[adnedarn]

I may have missed this but, there is the option for "Totally exlude team shouts from stats" How about having an option where private shouts would not count also? Once I allowed members to use private chats.. all the sudden some people's counts went up.. waaaay up. I think they just spamed each other to get high counts.
Thanks

[Nik9]

Hi ,

i have insatlled mgc shoutbox, where i can find more icons ?

Hum yes, that's right it's not logical that I count private shouts in the stats.

I'll take that into account for the next version :)

You mean new icons as the one that are included in the zip ? No one has released new icons as far as I know.

vbdev October is all gone. We all are waiting for updated version of MGC

[class101]

1.5 is already fine :)

[yoyoyoyo]

how do you delete shouts? I gave permission to delete shouts in usergroups permission, and see the trashcan, but when I click it nothing happens

[VBDev]

vbdev October is all gone. We all are waiting for updated version of MGC

I said in a previous post that it won't be released at the end of october as I plan major changes !

And you know, I don't have the time to work on vBulletin that much coz I have a life he he :)

I will remove from the post the planned release date as I don't want user to ask all the time : when will the new version be out ?

It will be out as quick as possible but I prefer giving you a well coded chatbox rather than a buggy one.

I am sure you'll understood that.

how do you delete shouts? I gave permission to delete shouts in usergroups permission, and see the trashcan, but when I click it nothing happens

What do you mean exactly ?

[yoyoyoyo]

How does a user delete their shouts? I have tried and can't seem to do it.

[captainslater]

On the left side of a user's shout you/they should see a image with a red x. By clicking on this image the shout will be deleted.

[TheBlackPoet]

/del all will delete the chats

[yoyoyoyo]

weird- I don't see that - and I set my usergroup to allow deletion of shouts

[class101]

it's on the chatbox archive dude there:

[lilwowblow]

thank you I will click installed.

This red box is displayed also in the chatbox if you activate the corresponding option in your admincp :)

[chrisdaman77]

I was wondering if there is a such thing in the program that allows the amount of shouts a member has to be displayed in their profile.

[VBDev]

I was wondering if there is a such thing in the program that allows the amount of shouts a member has to be displayed in their profile.

Nope, there isn't.

However, it wouldn't be that hard to do, just a small query in the shouts database.

Anyway, I don't have time to do that for now so I guess you'll have to remind me after the next version release :)

[NeutralizeR]

When i enter the "/ban username" command it says "The user doesn't exist".

But the user is online and active at the chatbox. Any ideas?

[VBDev]

Are you sure of the syntax you have used for the command ?

Check the help as the syntax of the command had changed when I made the last version because of the introduction of the /ban userid command.

[eurofunny]

One wish for the next Version bb-code images

[silvermerc]

Does that mean your suprise will not happen??

I'm sure. "The user doesn't exist"

Neither of these are working for me:

/ban username
/ban userid

[Ranger187]

I have a request.

Can you add a usergroup option to change DEFAULT text color based on usergroup?

ie: mods by default are dark red
Reg users = white?

Is that possible?

[VBDev]

One wish for the next Version bb-code images
Automatically reszied

I can affect only the img bbcode in the chatbox as I use the default bbcode parser function.

If you want to do so you'll have to do it for the whole forum.

I know there are existing mods that do that.

Does that mean your suprise will not happen??

It will don't worry but It will take some time due to changes in my life ;)

I'm sure. "The user doesn't exist"

Neither of these are working for me:

/ban username
/ban userid

Can you give me the syntaxes you used to test please so that I can reproduce them (with the username or userid giving the problem) ?

I put it in the todo list for upper versions.

[VBDev]

You have used the cmd with the wrong syntax, the good syntax is:

/ban user Tester
or
/ban uid 207833

As stated in the help window (maybe your help template is not up-to-date if you modified the original one ?)

[powerbook]

Hi,

Is there a way that you can disable the shoutbox for members who haven't made a specific amount of posts on the site within a 24hour period.
The same idea as is the case with ibProArcade where you can't play arcade games if you haven't made the number of posts within 24hrs as set by admin?

Members keeps on using the shoutbox as a replacement for posting and for me the only way is to either annoy them or to force them to make X amount of posts per 24hrs period before the shoutbox is either visible or enabled for them to use..

Many Thanks

[yoyoyoyo]

This red box is displayed also in the chatbox if you activate the corresponding option in your admincp :)cool - thanks - found the setting and enabled it :)

As Is it's not possible. It would require a bit of coding but that's not very complicated.

I don't have the time to do it now but I could guide you through the steps if you have a bit of knowledge in php ?

[powerbook]

Hi,

Guiding me would be brilliant!! :up:

i have a question.
tell me plz how to set the writing settings?
i want that my messages in the chatbox are allways blue and size4,
but i have do set it again and again :(

[VBDev]

Hi,

Guiding me would be brilliant!! :up:

Thanks again

Basically what you have to do is edit the chatbox plugin attached to the global hook.

In this hook, you'll find a global condition to check if the chatbox is active ($vboptions[mgc_chatbox] or kinda, I don't have the code beyond the eyes so don't remember the exact one).

Before the content in the condition, you have to add an sql query to count the messages since the last 24 hours (dynamic count):


$getcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(postid) AS nb_posts FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "' AND dateline > '" . ( TIMENOW - 86400 ) . "'");


The query is not tested so you should verify before that the postid and dateline fields are the good one in the post table (for the postid I am pretty sure but not for the dateline).

Then you have to put all the actual part of the condition in a second condition :

if ($getcount['nb_posts'] > 10) {
/* Put the actual content of the condition here */
}


Where 10 is the number of posts per day you require before using the chatbox.

Of course this a homemade and hardcoded modification so you could also replace the 10 value by the one you want or even better, create a new option in the chatbox group (possible by activating the debug mode) to do just the same thing but giving easier access to modify it ;)

Feel free to ask for any help if you encounter problems ! And give me back the final code so that I could use it in the versions following the v2.0.

i have a question.
tell me plz how to set the writing settings?
i want that my messages in the chatbox are allways blue and size4,
but i have do set it again and again :(

I suppose you have done the mandatory modification to the modifyoptions template so you just have to go in your usercp and then you'll see chatbox options for that purpose :)

[powerbook]

Thanks for the guidelines. I will get cracking on it.

I really hope this is something other members would also be able to use. Since I installed the chatbox I could physically see posts dropping. Hopefully this will encourage my members to post once again. Guess the mods will now just have to be wary of 1 liners but that is the least of the problems... :D:D

Thanks again and if I have any questions I'll let you know. :up:

[VBDev]

Yeah, users always use the easiest ways to communicate which is not always the good one.

vBulletin software is used to build forum so the chatbox is only an addition which should not be used as much as the posting but users tends to do the contrary lol

[NeutralizeR]

You have used the cmd with the wrong syntax, the good syntax is:

Anybody could tell me please?


Thanks for this great mod first of all, kind regards.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

[Serenity]

i have an issue with this mod. today out of no where the chat box just disappeared. i have searched this thread and saw that others had this issue, but it looked to be fixed. so far i am the only one experiencing this issue. i even tried otehr browsers on my pc and it does not work, but it shows up when i use a different computer.

any ideas?

edit to add:
i logged out of my admin account and used a test account i created and it appears.... it has soething to do with my user account... ???

[Henry187]

Check your User CP > Options to see if you turned it off somehow.

[gforce75]

No, it is not fixed. I had to merge an account to a second one, delete orginal... create orginal, merge back second account to first account. Same exact problem I had with 1.4 and you'll see my post earlier about it. Please QUIT SaYING the user options is the issue. I know what he is refering to. It just randomly disappears and does not come back. When you logon to an account with the same persmissions, you'll see it. Whatever controls the box to be there is flawed somehow.

Anybody could tell me please?


Thanks for this great mod first of all, kind regards.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

You have to edit the mgc_chatbox_bit template for that purpose and find all the "<" & ">" to remove them.

i have an issue with this mod. today out of no where the chat box just disappeared. i have searched this thread and saw that others had this issue, but it looked to be fixed. so far i am the only one experiencing this issue. i even tried otehr browsers on my pc and it does not work, but it shows up when i use a different computer.

any ideas?

edit to add:
i logged out of my admin account and used a test account i created and it appears.... it has soething to do with my user account... ???

Does your user account has the good number of posts required for its usergroup ?

Check your User CP > Options to see if you turned it off somehow.

No, it is not fixed. I had to merge an account to a second one, delete orginal... create orginal, merge back second account to first account. Same exact problem I had with 1.4 and you'll see my post earlier about it. Please QUIT SaYING the user options is the issue. I know what he is refering to. It just randomly disappears and does not come back. When you logon to an account with the same persmissions, you'll see it. Whatever controls the box to be there is flawed somehow.

That's really really strange, I don't see how it would work for a user of a usergroup and "magically" stops working for another user.

If we sum up the problem:

The user has the good number of posts
The option is not turned off in its acp
There is no error shown on the user page when the chatbox disapears
The user is member of a single usergroup no additionnal oneAm I right ?

The only way I could dig into that would be to have access to the acp of a forum where that problem appears and also the pass to the user account that encounter that problem.

Maybe I could do live debug to find out what's going on.

You haven't followed the uninstall steps correctly as you should have removed the chatbox xml files from the includes directory before removing the product.

To correct your problem, you have to activate the debug mode (search on the forum to find out how to activate this mode, it needs an editing of the config.php file) and then select the rebuild bitfields menu item in the vbulletin options menu.

Hey appecriate the response.

I know where your coming from. It has stumped me. I know codes are very logical. Guess what, his account lost the box again. He told me he has given up. His name is Squall on the forums linked below. Let me know if you want an account. I'll give ya password of a test account and his account to see first hand.

My msn is gforce8102@hotmail and yahoo is gforce8102. Just drop a message :)

Folks,
VBDEV, I wanted to thank you for all the hardwork you have put in on this program. I don't know many other developers other then yourself who answers Daily like you do.

In the next few months during the holidaze, take it easy my friend. I would tell you Happy Thanksgiving, but in France, you don't have that.!! ;-)

Also Folks, I know I have donated, You can use this mod for free, but you have the chance to donate to our developer here. The lets show him some gratitude as he re-writes the next version...

(Ok I am being selfish in that I don't ever want to see him walk away from this as it is one of the most used parts of my site!) :p

Thanks again..

Update on the v2.0 development:

Hi all,

As you know I told ya the development of the new version has started.

I have been very busy at work during the past month so the development was near the ground he he. However, during the weekend, I have had time to start working seriously on it.

As I want this new version to bring a new step to the chatbox experience, lots of work is waiting for me but I am pretty confident. This needs a full remodeling of the chatbox code.

I estimate my advance on the development to about 10% (yeah I know this is not a lot but please wait to see the changes ;)).

By the way, the default language of the chatbox will remain french but the variables names, function names and comments will now be in english to easier understanding :)

I'll keep you in touch.

[Peter85]

Good to hear we'll soon get another version!

We have been using the Chatbox on our board for about 3 weeks and its one of the most loved features on our site so thanks for a geat mod and keep up the good work and outstanding support, its really appreciated.

[catmandoes]

Is it possible to delete the Archive of chat box messages ? There are some inappropriate messages i want to get rid of and I though i might delete all the messages and start again.

If so how do i do this ?

Cheers

[gforce75]

His chatbox should be a standard feature for vbulletion. It barley drains the database and works clean and smooth. A little broke right now, but u got a donation coming next payday.

[Yukino_AE]

I would like to use this mod. the only problem i'm having is despite the additional style instructions no matter what i try i can't get this to display above the forums. it will only ever display below the forums. is there any way to fix this?

and this only occurs on the "display on index" i can place it either above or below in the forums

[VBDev]

This is a style issue. Please have a look at the readme file within the zip.

There are instructions on how to get rid of the problem :)

[IvyKeepMommy]

Would it be possible in a future version that if you are in a private chat, your comments would default and stay in the private chat? There have been some embarrassing situations where they user forgot to click the pencil and made a global statement that should have been private.

Also it would be VERY helpful if there were some sort of notification that a user has a new private chat waiting. [Edit: I do see that this is planned!]

It's a great addition to our site and your work is VERY much appreciated!!

Thanks!!

[VBDev]

The problem with the private chat room is that the users must type in the userid or username in order for the other user to get it.

But this could be of course an improvement, let's say : the user type the message in the canal but forget the /mp => the command is not taken into account at all.

By the way, I am changing the way things work in the new version so this should change :)

Hello,

sorry fpr my bad english.

i have a porblem with the Smileys.

When i activate the Smileys then shout meh this Smileys:

72378

The first Smileys are this:

72377

so, why become the standard Smileys in the Chatbox.

I hope you understand me.

[TheBlackPoet]

why does the chat show french even though i load the english?? i've tried to hold off asking this, because i know when someone tell me, i will feel like a numbskull

When you say this is the first smiley, this depends if you got groups or so ;)

So basically the shown smileys are taken in the order of add in the database this is why yuo see the vbulletin default smilies.

If you don't like this, you can activate the random smilies option in the acp so that it gets different smilies every time :)

Hum. If you have uploaded the english xml file thus overwriting the english language file this should be ok.

Any errors while uploading the language file ?

Your problem concerns all the chatbox or is this only few items that get shown in the wrong language ?

2.0 Development news :

Hi all !

I have been able to work on the chatbox during the weekend and I have made good progress.

Just so that you know, the chatbox will be renamed to MGC Chatbox Evolution, thus taking a newer version number he he.

This change of the name is due to the fact that I am remodeling totally the way the chatbox is coded. I will now use object oriented programmation and datamanager.

So as you can see this will be a major release and it takes time.

As of now, I don't have a release date as I know there is a lots of work and this will need time but I am confident on releasing it before the end of the year.

Yes... I know the end of the year might seems far away for some of you but you must understand the work it needs :)

I promise the new release will give you even more fun !!

Progress estimation : 15-20%.

Update to you soon :)

Something I've been just kinda dealing with... When the chat refreshes, instead of showing the latest shouts (new shouts at bottom) it flips up like 4 lines... So you're missing the latest 4 lines of shouts. Is there a quick repair for that? Or should I just wait for the next version? I'm currently on v1.5
Thanks!

You remembered to go into each usergroup and set up so they can see it, use it, and all that?

As andrew stated, you might not have set your usergroup permissions correctly for the chatbox.

Especially the one with the number of posts to see the chatbox which always is forgotten by users.

Why doesn't the vbulletin censor work on this?
How do I change the two instances in "Who's Online" to read just "Chatbox", instead of "MGC Chatbox"?

I don't use the chatbox on any forum pages...I have it as a link in the Navbar, with its own page.

I'm running vbulletin 3.6.8 PL2.

Any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks, in advance...

Sure, here are 2 shots... one showing the bottom of the chat (like it should be)... And the next is where the shout box auto refreshed and you can see the last few shouts are missing. If you look at the scroll bar you can see it's not at the bottom anymore.

My browser is FireFox 2.0.0.9 I know others are having the problem too, but I don't know what browsers they are on.

Thanks!

You mean the vbulletin word censoring ? I thought it worked, maybe I'll have to dig into that !
For that, you have to edit the plugin attached to the hook starting with online.

MGC Chatbox 2.0 development update :

Hi guys !

I have been able to code quite a lot yesterday and today, thus allowing me to make good progress on the development of the new version which I estimate to be around 30% This maybe doesn't seem a lot but trust me it is lol.

I'll have time to advance further next weekend and will post screenshots of the new things as soon as possible :)

I had to scroll down in the first one to see everything... Then once it auto refreshes, it pops up some as shown in the second screen shot... That's the thing I'm asking about. Sucks when you have to scroll down every time it refreshes... When it is busy it doesn't matter so much... as the shouts soon get into view. But when it's slow... it sucks lol

ehm...

Thanks for getting back to me on that...I'm pretty sure the vb censor isn't working since I was able to type words that are censored in the chat box and they were showing up...others may want to test this as well and reply. Of course...I do not have the chat box on any of my forum pages...I just have a link to the Chatbox on my navbar and it opens its own page.

One other thing...the smilies add a nice touch, but for those who have a lot of smilies, the way you have it implemented, really isn't user friendly. If you want to display your board's smilies and have a lot...then they take up a lot of space when opened through the chat box. You may want to implement a feature like the smilie category hack that opens a separate window when the chat box smiley face is clicked...then let the user select the smiley from within categories. Just a thought...but a good one.

[SaTaNaSsO]

i have another question...
this is the result of the installation... i found how to switch the language ( it was my error on installating chatbox language)...
how can i display the smilies? and the bbcode options??

Here, I typed 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 in that order in my shout box. the first image is when I scroll all the way down. The second is when it auto refreshes... You can see it is now missing shouts 6 and 7 (and someone else's shout that they got in there before I got the screen shot taken) I hope this is clearer for you.
Thanks!

@VBDev

Is there anyway to have a log of moderator actions in the shoutbox.
I just had a situation with someone editing other peoples shouts and pruning the shoutbox.
I've allowed mods and assistant admins manage shoutbox permissions. But either someone got drunk or maybe someone logged into their account, but in any case I'd like to find out who did those actions, as I don't think they'll come clean.

[VBDev]

Thanks for your reply but it didn't worked,I'm using Vb 3.6.8 and xmass2007 skin and I have other 4 skins on site and all 4 work fine but not to the default theme to all my members the xmass2007,what can I do more:confused::confused:

In the styles and template manager, can you check for this style what is the path to the misc images for it ?

Maybe it's not called misc for that style, this could be the reason.

Thanks for getting back to me on that...I'm pretty sure the vb censor isn't working since I was able to type words that are censored in the chat box and they were showing up...others may want to test this as well and reply. Of course...I do not have the chat box on any of my forum pages...I just have a link to the Chatbox on my navbar and it opens its own page.

One other thing...the smilies add a nice touch, but for those who have a lot of smilies, the way you have it implemented, really isn't user friendly. If you want to display your board's smilies and have a lot...then they take up a lot of space when opened through the chat box. You may want to implement a feature like the smilie category hack that opens a separate window when the chat box smiley face is clicked...then let the user select the smiley from within categories. Just a thought...but a good one.

Yes I'll wait for it to be reproduced coz I remembered having tested it and it was working :/

Yes I know that the way I implemented it is not that much user friendly.

But implementing in another way could make it harder and I didn't had the time though to work on that part. But I think for the version following the new one, I might dig into that by building up a smilies selection page :)

i have another question...
this is the result of the installation... i found how to switch the language ( it was my error on installating chatbox language)...
how can i display the smilies? and the bbcode options??
thanx...
:)

As VBdev allready told me You have to upload the mgc_chatbox image folder in each misc directory of your styles.(But I still didn't got 1 skin working with this,lol)

As baby41 said to you, you have to upload the images n all your misc directory.

And perhaps activate the bbcode and smileys options if needed :)

On your second screenshot, the 6 and 7 are shown IMO below if you scroll down no ?

I still don't see the problem.

What I know is that as soon as you scroll, these kind of phenoma tends to appear.

No sorry, this functionnality is not yet implemented.

Anyway this is an interesting one, come to me after the release of the next version so that I could build that up. I think it could be an easy one to implement.

Ok thanks, will do. Good to hear it is possible.

According to the screenshot, I think you have made the modification to the navbar tempalte while your skin doesn't have a navbar :)

You should remove those modifications, there are not mandatory and as they are not compatible with your skin I think it would be better.

What I know is that as soon as you scroll, these kind of phenoma tends to appear.



When you first go into the shout box, you can see everything. Then when it auto refreshes you lose the bottom 3 or so lines, so you scroll back down to see them, then it auto refreshes and they go away... So every 10 seconds when it refreshes, you have to scroll back down to see the last 3 shouts. While the shouts still exist, I don't understand why it pops up 3 lines every time it refreshes.

I guess I'll just wait and see if the new version does it. If it does, I can try to explain what I'm talking about better :)

I'll be watching for the chance to beta test for you ;)

I would really be interested in bringing users different buttons packages :up:

You can also share the italian language file as there are none for the moment.

i have a problem with my chatbox.
first: its working great :)
but there is one little mistake.

i have "autorefresh set to 2 seconds"
but with every refresh the chat scrolls to the bottom (the newest message)
its impossible to read "older" posts.

can u fix that?
thx,
nebu

[VBDev]

Wow 2 seconds :D

You should becareful when putting a such lower rate, this could grow your server load !

This is an issue already reported, I thought it was working well but it seems like it's not. I'll have to check that out but this won't be corrected until the release of the next version as you can imagine :)

You Should Set Your Autorefresh to More than 30 to 60 Seconds to Allow your Users to Read the Posts!! ;)

As VBDev says, by using 2 Seconds you're Loading your Server with lot's of Data Requests and you're also Using a lot of the Data Transfer of your Site Hosting!! :rolleyes:

This Hack Consumes a Lot of Data Transfer, so be careful with that Aspect, and more if your Forum has lot's of Visitors and Members Browsing the Pages and Loading the Chatbox everytime they Refresh the Page!! :rolleyes:

This is the Best ChatBox Hack I've seen on vBulletin, I Hoppe VBDev release Version 2.0 Very Soon!! ;) :p

My Best Regards!! ;)

It would be good if there was functionality in vb options to edit the ban list, as well as the ability to specify userids & groups that are unbannable. Also a usergroup permission to use the ban functionality (such as exists for /pm and /ignore).

I didn't find it too funny when I was banned from the chatbox by an experimenting admin. Had to run some sql queries to get back in. :(

[thisgeek]

Sorry about the double post, but I thought it would be better to keep topics seperate.

Feature request:
My users have requested the ability to add/remove reputation based on chatbox entries.

Not sure how painful this would be to implement.

The ban list can be edited while typing /showban so I won't add a separate a new page for that especially with the change in my code for the new version.

However, I think I'll add the abitiliy to specify which usergroups/userids can't be banned.

About the permission to use the functionnality the usergroup permissions will automatically be added due to the code changes.

thx VBDev!
i have a forum with a small community with less than 50 member,
so we have no problem with a 2 second rate ;)

[thisgeek]

What do you mean exactly I don't clearly understand your request.

To clarify - vbulletin has the reputation system built in where a user can add reputation to a user for a good forum post, or take rep away for a bad post - by clicking the scales icon on the top right of a post (Which is only visible if the reputation system is activated).

Anyway, when it comes to the chatbox, users would like to be able to utilize the rep system to give or take rep for comments posted in the chatbox.


Does that make sense?

Another issue: If you change the size of the input field, it causes the chatbox to be bigger than the width of the page, and users have to scroll sideways.
It would perhaps be better if the buttons to the side of the input field could wrap to the next line.

Yes it does. Please keep it your head until the next release and I'll be open for new ideas :)

This is configuration dependent, so I am sorry but my answer will be now.

If you decide to have a bigger input field and the buttons are a problem then you should edit your templates but I won't complicate things for that purpose ;).

[RockMTP]

This is a nice looking shoutbox but I think i've gone wrong somewhere when installing.

I followed the readme file, the shoutbox appeared on the home page but there are no options on it - only the 'go' button is there. Also, if I click the link 'MGC chatbox' thats next to a username in the shout box i get this route, example '/mp user "username" ' in the text box.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be great as i'd really like to implement this as it seems far superior to the shoutbox i currently use.

Thanks

For the link, this is normal behaviour.

For the buttons not appearing, this is perhaps because you haven't uploaded the mgc_chatbox image directory in all of your styles misc folder :)

[RockMTP]

Thank you for your help, got it working.

One thing i would like to suggest (not sure if its been said before) is that if users select a new font and colour it then stays as their default.

Can't wait for the new version now!

Thanks

This is already done but through the user cp.

If you have done the modification to the modifyoptions template (which is mandatory) users should be able to select their default color/fonts/face for the chatbox :)

[RockMTP]

Hi VBDev,

Thanks for your quick replies!

I did make the template changes but when i change the font/colour i get the bb code in the text box which i type my message between:

[f0nt=Book Antiqua][col0r=#FF0000]Text Here[/color][/font]

If you want to change the font / colour you have to select them for every message.

:)

[VBDev]

Ok but have you been to your usercp in to modify your options concerning the chatbox ?

[RockMTP]

Hi,

I changed a few settings but no change.

Sorry, i don't mean to bug you over something so small...I'll play around with it and try and figure it out. Its not the end of the world after all!

Still a great addition....Thanks

[adnedarn]

RockMTP- I think you're not looking in the right place? Go into your own User CP then under Edit Options. There you'll see options to be invisible or thread display options... scroll down till you see something like in the screen shot I provide. Set up the font/color you want there and it will be "yours" for all your posts in the shout box. hope that helps.

[powerbook]

Hi,

Finally got some time to try and enable the posting rule. I got it to work and like you pointed out actually quite simple but the only thing I don't know or understand how to do is to enable a message in the shoutbox area (when disabled) telling the member why it is disabled "You can only use the shoutbox bla bla bla".

Should I add a phrase for that and call it from a new template?

Many Thanks


Basically what you have to do is edit the chatbox plugin attached to the global hook.

In this hook, you'll find a global condition to check if the chatbox is active ($vboptions[mgc_chatbox] or kinda, I don't have the code beyond the eyes so don't remember the exact one).

Before the content in the condition, you have to add an sql query to count the messages since the last 24 hours (dynamic count):


$getcount = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(postid) AS nb_posts FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE userid='" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "' AND dateline > '" . ( TIMENOW - 86400 ) . "'");


The query is not tested so you should verify before that the postid and dateline fields are the good one in the post table (for the postid I am pretty sure but not for the dateline).

Then you have to put all the actual part of the condition in a second condition :

if ($getcount['nb_posts'] > 10) {
/* Put the actual content of the condition here */
}


Where 10 is the number of posts per day you require before using the chatbox.

Of course this a homemade and hardcoded modification so you could also replace the 10 value by the one you want or even better, create a new option in the chatbox group (possible by activating the debug mode) to do just the same thing but giving easier access to modify it ;)

Feel free to ask for any help if you encounter problems ! And give me back the final code so that I could use it in the versions following the v2.0.



I suppose you have done the mandatory modification to the modifyoptions template so you just have to go in your usercp and then you'll see chatbox options for that purpose :)

With what I pointed out, the chatbox won't show, am I right ?

Then I think you should have to create new mgc_chatbox template with only the table header and the phrase as content, calling it mgc_chatbox_lack_posts for example.

You'll have to edit:

both the 3 hooks regarding the display on the forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread
the mgc_chatbox.php file for the full mode display
the condition you have added by putting a else to manage the display in case of show on all pages under the navbar or in a variableIn order to display the mgc_chatbox_lack_posts template instead of the mgc_chatbox template when the user has not done enough posts.

Do you think you can handle that?

I upgraded to the newest version and I am still having problems. It is continuously loading, and the chatbox's width is exceeding the width of my forum. Any ideas?

I made a username that you can use to login to see what it is doing.

The forum is located at www.semobid.com/VB

I have had a look, that's strange there are no javascript errors.

Do you have reverted all the templates of the chatbox before/after the upgrade in case you modified something ?

All uploaded files are the one ?

By the way, you have done the modification in the navbar template wrong as I have been able to infer from your link :)

This is not really constructive ;)

Which version of the chatbox do you use ? Is it after upgrade to a new version or at first install ?

Have you uploaded all the js files and revert tempaltes in case of update ?

[Ventrixius]

That will happen if you use the cmps module with the lastest Chatbox version.

does this mod make server high load if my site is hosted in shared hosting ?

[VBDev]

does this mod make server high load if my site is hosted in shared hosting ?

The server load added by the chatbox depends of the configuration you do :)

IF you keep the refresh rate reasonable and you don't activate warning systems this should be good.

[Animecraving]

it better if the the font and color bb code automatic...
becuase each time you want to change the font size or color you have to select it.. unlike the vbshout..

[VBDev]

But you can do that through your usercp this is more vbulletin way of seing.

Options are gathered in a unique place.

This is because you didn't followed the uninstall instructrions.

You have to remove first the chatbox files (and especially the one in the xml directory) and then uninstall the products.

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

Hum, when you look at your chatbox templates in the acp, does they look like not orignal ? I mean have you done modifications to them ?

[VBDev]

v2.0 Development Update :

Hi everyone !

As every monday, I post a little update on the development of the 2.0 version.

I have made good progress last week ! The acp part of the "suprise" (which is the base of 2.0) is near from completion, I just have one functionnality remaining which I will finish this week.

Next I will have to rework the user side but this is basically well thought so that should be quite easy to do it :).

As the things are going, I think that perhaps I could be able to launch a beta phase in 2 weeks (if the chatbox is mature enough at that time which I think it will).

So as you can see things are going well :) I think I might make less progress this week as I am doing big changes to my hack selling forum due to recent plagia of one of my products by vbteam ...

I'll let you wait for the next progress update ;)

nyunyu go into each usergroup and setup the permissions for them to see it. The default is they cannot.

Mainly set "Can use MGC Chatbox?" to YES and set the other stuff to whatever you want...

The Usergroup colours are being displayed in there Primary Usergroup Colour not there Display Usergroup colour - Is it possible to change this please or direct me on where to start looking at this.

I am using this at www.unp-hq.com it is VBA but its shall we say "different" to all other usergroup colourings on the rest of the site.

Been looking around for the right chatbox for a week or so and you seem to have hit the nail nicely on the head with this - good job.

One other thing not a real fan of the <Name> how do I remove the <> please.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Yes, i'm search for the answer. How i can do that?

I think I have badly hardcoded it :rolleyes: What a pity I am i :D

Has soon as I can I'll tell you where to modify it.

I already answered somewhere in the thread, try to search for it if you can.

Basically you have to edit the mgc_chatbox_bit template and remove all &lt; and &gt;.

About the usergroup, this has already been reported to me, this is a bug I have to dig into.

Yup :)

[DrKNickel]

Is it possible to add the chatbox to just one forum? That it displays not everywhere but only on one forum?

THX :)

[MotMann]

a9 Smiley Problem. I have the same Problem as everyone, that th wrong Smileys displayed.

b) I think its better, that the Smileylist loads, if the User Click on the Icon.. and not if the User load the side. It takes to long loadingtime, if 60 Smileys displayed :)

[MotMann]

I have the error: in SQL:


SELECT smilieid, smilietext, smiliepath, title
FROM vb_smilie
LIMIT 10;


need help :(

[VBDev]

THX :)

For that you have to edit the hook attached to forumdisplay_complete and replace:

if ($chatbox_permission && $vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_forumdisplay']) {

By :

if ($chatbox_permission && $vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_forumdisplay'] && $foruminfo['forumid'] == X) {

Where X is the id of the forum you want it to be shown in.

Yes I know, I have to do something about that. I don't think I will focus on it for the next release but this will be on the top priority lsit for next one.

MySQL-Fehler : MySQL server has gone away
Fehler-Nr. : 2006

-------------------------

These error comes since Chatbox. And LIMIT 0, 10; is a setting from chatbox. I think there are some Problems with the Smilies- the Limit of 10 is the actual setting. How i can fix it? In the erlier Version there was a fix.
I dont found the code to Change... where is ist?

[VBDev]

The LIMIT 0,10 is not appearing only in the chatbox, there are many other query which should look like that in vBulletin.

Trust me when I say this is not chatbox purpose at all, I don't see why I would query the forum, post, icon and threaread database tables from within the chatbox.

Check the Script stated in the mysql error (which you didn't paste here), you'll see that I am right.

[MotMann]

hmm.... if i change it to 20, then comes the error with 20. If i Change it to 80, then comes 80 :D

Ad if i deaktivate the chatbox, then all runs perfect. But i need that chatbox :D

No Idea? Maybe i must change in a php file the smilies manuell?

[VBDev]

Are you sure you are running my chatbox coz I am absolutely sure this is not an error from the chatbox. I think I know my code... Changing the limit and seing it means nothing (unless you are using another chatbox and you think you did use mine). If I tell you this is not in the chatbox code really trust me... So please stop on that, this is not constructive...

The fact that it disapears when you deactivate the chatbox might come from the fact that you have set a refresh rate too low thus leading to mysql server gone away error messages on other part of the website. Setting a low rate might overload your server so I am pretty sure this is what happens as per regard to the error you stated.

How much did you set for the refresh rate ?

[MotMann]

30 seconds :)

[VBDev]

That's strange 30 seconds shouldn't use too much server.

Do you have your board on a free host or a paid one ?

[MotMann]

I have an own server y a hoster...

are 30 Seconds to high? I don't think so.

[VBDev]

I have an own server y a hoster...

No no, this is a good setting. Do you have lots of users on your board ?

2.0 development update

Hi all,

Last week I made no update post as I hadn't been able to work on the chatbox due to the problem I encountered with my website.

Now that they are finished I had been able to work on the chatbox :)

I think I can tell ya that the development has reached the 50% progress, and now things are going to go faster as all the problematic parts are now solved. The remaining thing are easy coding (except perhaps one part but don't worry I'll handle that he he). This weekend I have worked on the user end part.

I will probably provide you with screenshots of some of the enhancement for christmas ;)

However I don't think I will be able to release it for christmas. I think the beta launch will rather be beginning of january as I'll have some time to code during holidays.

Cya next week for another development update and start to be ready for close beta launch!

[MotMann]

No no, this is a good setting. Do you have lots of users on your board ?
1500 daily.

And how i can put that in the online.php ... and arcade.php?

And where i can get the new update?

[VBDev]

1500 daily.

To put it in the arcade.php, this is explained in the readme.

The new update is not yet available, this is development udpate status ;)

Anyone has been able to test the chatbox on vb3.7 beta 2 ?

[theOZer]

Upgrade to vB3.7.0 Beta 2. In my testvb instance, with MGC Chatbox V1.5 already installed, upgraded from vB3.6.8 PL2 with Blog V1.0.2 Upgrade to vB3.7.0 Beta 2with Blog V1.0.3.
After the upgrade, MGC Chatbox V1.5 was working and displaying properly, even after I reverted all of my templates to 3.7.0. I could go into the Archive, view diff Archive pages, delete entries. Both General and Team channels worked. So far, it works just fine.

But theOzer doesn't state any problem :D

If it just says loading perhaps it's because you didn't uploaded the js files ?

[iJoe]

Its a 3.6 mod not a 3.7 mod ;)

Also the annoying thing is staff on my forum are also in registered users group, so they inherit there settings rather then over ride it, so some staff have to reach 250 posts to view the box where as they should just be able to view it :S Kinda annoyin but I can live with it :P

[theOZer]

I updated my post. I am NOT now having the "disappearing chatbox" problem. Somehow, in my own User Profile, Chatbox was turned off. My error. Chatbox is working for me.
I did add $mgc_cb_ucp to modifyoptions and <div class="smallfont">$cb_stats</div> to FORUMHOME. I did NOT add the navbar mods. V1.5 upgrade instructions said I didn't need to mod the navbar and it looks like I indeed don't need to.

Yes but vB3.7 code might not be too changing so it should work on it too, which seems to be the case !

So as many of you seems to have it working, I'll post it in the 3.7 area :)

No coz there is a new button in the chatbox that have the chatbox archive link :)

[VBDev]

After discussion with Marco, the post I made for 3.7 will be removed as it's not that useful.

What I think I will do is post the new version of the chatbox as 3.7 due to the many changes in the chatbox code (even if it's 3.6 compatible).

[DrKNickel]

Yeah, bring this nice box to 3.7 :)

[VBDev]

MySQL-Fehler : MySQL server has gone away
Fehler-Nr. : 2006


.. and the problem comes from your Script ;) If i deaktivate the Chatbox, then i dont see the error. Or if i alow more smilies, then comes more than 5 in the error log.

[VBDev]

Yes Yes, that one comes from the chatbox.

However, the type of error is a problem with your sql server as "it goes away". Here is an interesting explanation of what it means : ttp://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html)

Did you encounter such errors previously to the chatbox install ? I am thinking that perhaps your host does allow limited mysql simultaneous connexions ?

[nt180692]

Hi
Atm, the shoutbox is working fine, but the username colour is white, and it contrasts with my white background, therefore i can see the username. How do i change the username colour from white, to blue ?

[nt180692]

This is a picture of the above problem.

Yes I know hes not stating any problems , I meant I am having the same problem with this shoutbox as all the other shoutbox plugins I have tried today with vb3.70 b2 , they all just display loading for me

Same thing, think I tried them all. Tried a fresh install of this one on 3.7.0 beta 3 and chatbox shows but just keeps loading. Will wait for 3.7 version as the features on this chatbox look great.

That's strange, it should work.

Have you tried those steps :

Reverting the chatbox templates
Uploading chatbox files again (especially the js files)
This is a picture of the above problem.

Thanks,
Nick.

You have to edit the mgc_chatbox_bit template for that and find every $username and change the html to do that :)

[MotMann]

Did you encounter such errors previously to the chatbox install ?

Yes. i think the Problem is, that everytime the Chatbox will be displeyd, the Smilies listet in the Background ;)

So, if 40 User visit a side, than the Smilies are the problem. Its better, that the smilies displayed first, if a User Click on the Smilies ;)

But you know the Problem.. i hope it fixed in the next released.
