[VBDev]

there some symbols the shoutbox cant take, like ??? euro currency symbol, how do i manually edit to allow

One thing to try to activate the chatbox_utf8 variable in the functions_mgc_cb.php file.

Perhaps it could help.

[maidos]

how do i activate it?

[VBDev]

how do i activate it?

Edit functions_mgc_cb.php you'll see it at the top fo the file

[edytwinky]

Does anybody have this installed on their forum so I can get a good look at what its like?

[maidos]

yeah but how do i activate it

it displays $chatbox_utf8 = 0;

[VBDev]

yeah but how do i activate it

Sorry, you put 1 instead of 0.

You should try on a local test forum, this is always better as you could give a test at the admincp part :)

<font color="Red">As a "christmas gift", I'll make a post tomorrow stating the new features of the 2.0.

I hope you'll enjoy it he he.

[maidos]

yes, when i use quick reply it will just load and nothings happend. but it works using advanced post though

[maidos]

i reuploaded the files and it works using quickreply with öäå but when i post it on shoutbox i get this öööööööööööö

[VBDev]

Hum it's strange, I am not very used to the problem of "strange" characters within ajax so I think this will need a little digging and research to find that out.

[maidos]

hm its odd now it seems i cant post öäå on shoutbox after upgrading to the latest shoutbox version. Beside just to let you know i have utf8 installed on my server,centos5 was included with that

[tarot]

Small problem... when my users go and edit their options in the User CP, the chatbox disappears completely. It doesn't matter which option, and resetting the options via the ACP doesn't help.

Any ideas?

I really wonder these new features...


By the way, chatbox is working perfectly with 3.7.0 Beta 3 ;)

Oh that's strange, let's say it is magic :)

Happy to see that it works now.

Any ideas?

This is because you haven't done the modification to the modifyoptions template during the install procedure.

This one is mandatory otherwise, chatbox options are not present in the usercp options of your users and thus resetting them (ie the show the chatbox option set to 0) when they change an option.

[maidos]

no im just saying that i have utf8 installed and yet it doesnt work....

[VBDev]

Oh yes sorry wasn't very good at reading :D

And it was working with previous versions ? If yes, Could you try revert back to 1.4 to see if it works.

[tarot]

wow, i'm a dork... thanks!!

2.0 version development status update

I wish you a merry christmas.

It's christmas today so I decided to post here a small description of the upcoming features of the new version so that you can see that I am not working for nothing :D

The surprise

As I said you earlier, I have decided to rewrite practically all the code of the chatbox. The main reasons are that the "Surprise" of the todo list and that the chatbox code was in French (however, the code will now be in english but not the default language ;) which will still be in French with a english language file provided along).

You might all wonder what this "Surprise" is. I have decided to make a great improvement to the chatbox by adding a command/channel creation system kinda like the plugin/hook system of vBulletin but designed for the purpose of the chatbox.
I hope this will allow some users to participate to the chatbox enhancement by creating their own commands. As well as allowing all of you to arrange your channels the way you want them.

I have add the possibility to upload commands in xml file format as well as exporting them for sharing :)

Thanks also to that suprise it will possible to set for each command usergroups which have access to the command and also specific userids if needed.

It is hard to write textually how things are done, this is why I will provide you with screenshots (in French as I don't have translated it yet and the development is finished).

Commands

Due to the modification of the command system, I had to rewrite the commands code to complies with the new code.

So far, the following commands have been ported to the new version :

/me
/team
/announcement
/pm
/delI have taken advantage of that porterage to enhance the pm command, when used in a dedicated channel, if the user don't enter any command parameters then the pm message will be sent to the previous user you were talking to in private.

This is something that I think was awaiten by some peoples he he.

About the /del command, there will now be a /del all command to purge the chatbox and /del chan to purge the chan.

For the moment, I haven't planned any command development for the 2.0 version. Other will probably come after.

Other improvements

I have concentrated my efforts on the command system for the moment but I have been able to already do the following improvements to the chatbox :
Replacement of ugly javascript popup and prompt box to beautifull CSS javascript driven popups
Next to every chat, a small menu opening button giving access to direct actions and direct command actions like : View user profile, Send private chat to the user, Delete chat, Delete all chats from the user, ...Other improvements are planned taken from the 2.0 todo list, I'll give you another sneak peak later in the week.

This all for today, I hope this will give you good ideas on the new version and that you will start waiting very impatientely to it lol.

I think I'll be able to provide a beta release perhaps in 1 or 2 weeks, I'll keep you in touch.

Enjoy the end of your christmas day !

Hello i install de chat but i need some help for the templateedit-mgc_chatbox where i edit that info and the other thing is the chat still in loading and never finish. Thanks in advance :erm:

Hello i install de chat but i need some help for the templateedit-mgc_chatbox where i edit that info and the other thing is the chat still in loading and never finish. Thanks in advance :erm:

The templateedit thing is for the Andreas template manager, if you haven't it installed just don't pay attention to it.

About the loading thing, have you uploaded correctly the js files onto your forum clientscript directory ?

[maidos]

nope it only get strange symbols if go to 1.4

[Doom Stone]

How would I fix the bug where the chatbox dissapears once you have edited your profile?

[VBDev]

nope it only get strange symbols if go to 1.4

That's strange coz I don't remember having changed anything regarding the chats retrieval.

Let's wait for the tnext version and see if the code change corrected that.

How would I fix the bug where the chatbox dissapears once you have edited your profile?

This is not a bug but an error from your side when following the install steps.

You haven't done the modification to the modifyoptions template where you should have done it.

To correct that, you have to do the edit and then tell all your users that have the problem to go in their usercp and set the show the chatbox option back to yes.

[Doom Stone]

Ah thanks, I'll give that a shot.

[caribbeanxposur]

i installed everything correctly uploaded the the english language and my chat box is showing up in frech i think not sure which lauage it is but its not english what do it do?!?!?

in my admincp the chat box options are in english AND french or something WTF?!?! did i do something wrong?

[class101]

don't you want to start learning at our nice language ? heheh

If you have uploaded the english language file everything relating to the chatbox should be in english.

Do you see everything in a different language than english ?

What have you done exactly when uploading the english file ? Are you sure that you selected the good language file coz the chatbox is provided with more than the english file ;)

[SNATCH3R]

Installed and working fine, but am not able to use /pm command for users or the administrator even thogh given permission from the Usergroup.

And if /pm is working, will the users get a seperate window with chat message as in conventional IM message apps..or is there any other option available in MGC Chat...

Hope to get a reply on this.

Thanks

When /pm is working, there are no separate window with chat message.

Messages are all shown either in the general channel (of course you'll only see your pm) or in the separate channel.

But you'll have to add each time the command syntax to speak with others.

In the next version, I have done so that if the pm command is used in its own channel, the pm is sent to the last user which whom you spoke without entering the command syntax :D

using latest version of ff

[Our House]

Apologies if this has been asked (I haven't read the entire thread) before:

Is there a way to have multiple chatboxes with this mod? What I'm looking for is something that allows users A, B and C to use chatbox 1 embedded in one thread, and users D, E, and F to use chatbox 2 embedded in a different thread.

The chat (and names of the members involved) needs to remain private for each box/thread.

I will set the user permissions manually through templates & PHP. At the moment, I have it working to the point that the box only displays to the members with correct permissions. Unfortunately, the same box appears across all threads. I need for thread 1's users to have a different (private if you will) chatbox than thread 2's users.

Thanks,
OH

That's because you haven't followed correctly the readme instructions about uninstall procedure.

To avoid this error, you now have to remove chatbox files from the includes/xml directory and then rebuild manually the vBulletin bitifields (rebuild can be done in debug mode through a link in the vBulletin options menu).

<div class="smallfont">$cb_stats</div> is not working for me. I installed everything as said. I run 3.6.8 Patch 2

Have you activated stats in your chatbox options of the acp?

For the pm command the syntax has changed since 1.4 version so you better check the good syntax in the help window of the chatbox.

Apologies if this has been asked (I haven't read the entire thread) before:

Thanks,

This one is very complicated thing and you won't be able to achieve that easily with this version of the chatbox.

I suggest you to wait for the release of the 2.0 version which will allow you to create channels so you could have a general channel for everyone but separate channels for your groups of users.

And perhaps tweak the chatbox so you don't even see the general channel.

[gunitman247]

Yes I have activated it. I am still unsure what is happening. As for the syntax I am a new installation and used v1.5.

Thanks

[jupiter5]

I installed it and seems work properly. I am waiting for new option, users can easy select colours of wording. Members do not like writing words between codes.
VBDev, hurry up for V2.0 :))
Thanks a lot.

They already can select colours or wording from their usercp in the current version of the chatbox you know.

[BigDog56]

Just installed it, works great. Now, how can I put specific smilies in there? Also, no big deal, but it does not show who is using the chatbox. When I click the "who's on line", it says just me, when others are posting in it.

[MotMann]

öhm.. postbit and postnit legacy, i rebuild that templates.

And now, the chatbox wil not be displayed.

How i get that one back on my forumhome?

[jediteknoman]

Hey VBDev, I've got an interesting situation for you.

On my forum I seem to be having a few members are not able to see the Shoutbox, I checked the usergroup permissions and so forth but they not seeing the Shoutbox still.

I did uninstall and reinstall again but it seems to work for a period of time before the Shoutbox goes missing again for the 'normal users', not anyone with modship or Adminship permissions.

I'm using [vB 3.6.x] MGC Chatbox v1.5.zip

Any suggestions?

No with the current state of work you can't select specific smilies.

It is a planned feature but not for the really next version perhaps the one after.

?hm.. postbit and postnit legacy, i rebuild that templates.

And now, the chatbox wil not be displayed.

Rebuilding the postbit legacy has removed chatbox from forumhome ?

Are you sure that you didn't do anything else ? Perhaps you have deactivated the display chatbox on forumhome option ?

This is a very well known situation and I am sorry but it do comes from a miss in your following of the install procedure he he.

I think you haven't done the modification to the modifyoptions template which you should have done to avoid that problem to appear.

To correct that, do the modification stated in the install procedure and then tell your user to go in their usercp > options and set the show chatbox option back to yes.

As the modification is not present on your forum, the option is not displayed and thus equivalent to hide chatbox if a user change its options.

Any way to disable the chatbox dropdown in the navbar?

Yes, by removing the navbar template edits you did during the chatbox install. :)

ive had major problems installing this on vb 3.7.0 beta 3 is it ment to work on this version if not will there be another release of this. i know of another website running at 3.7.0 using this chatbox but i cant seem to figure it out. if it can be done i would be very grate full if you could install it to my vb.

When you say that it doesn't work, what do you exaxctly encounter ?

[Reecey]

Any ideas vbDEV?

[CHIPIT]

Yes, by removing the navbar template edits you did during the chatbox install. :)

Duh!
I made those edits with TMS, which explains why I couldn't find them in the navbar template, hence my asking here.

Sorry for the dumb question and thank you for your help.

About the stats, where have you put the $cb_stats code ?

Is chatbox meant to be shown on forumhome on your forum ?

About the pm command which syntax have you used ?

well its happened a few times that ive tried installing ive followed everything step by step i just dont have a clue why it dont work :S erm well i can get everything on the fourm but i dunno what i do wrong but it aint just me 2 others have tried i do all the modifications to the template as stated but it doesnt wanma show up ive set the user permissions to allow them to see it but it doesnt appear.

You haven't followed the install instructions correctly.

You were supposed to remove all chatbox files before uninstalling.

To correct that, two solutions:

Install chatbox product again and then remove files (especially the one in the xml directory) then remove products again
Rebuild bitfields manually after having removed the files

This is an interesting feature however, I don't have the time to add it for the 2.0 version.

Have you applied again the modifications to the modifyoptions template coz you might have overwrited them while upgrading to the new version.

Installed, work perfectly.

memorize the type of font y color by nick? it possible?

thank you

This is already the case in the usercp a user can choose its own color / size / font for the shouts.

Friendly thanks

Great chat, great software

How can I enable autmatic cleaning of shouts? Please, help! I can't find it:)

[sandbender]

I love this chatbox! Clicked "installed" & wish it was listed for MOTM.

I too would love a Private Chatbox capability, or at least private for several forums. For now, I'm just using the Team feature, where mods & admins can vent privately.

I've been reading this very long thread all day trying to find out how to display the chatbox on just certain forums, done about 15 thread searches, View Sources etc. and still can't figure it out. Brain freeze!

So can you spell it out for me, perhaps with an example of what needs to go on the Other Pages List?

Thanks so much & keep up the great work!

[ajm4481]

cant figure out how to unban and see a list of banned people. how do i do this?

[VBDev]

You have to first set the option : MGC Chatbox : General Options > Numbers of days of the shouts to remove to your wanted value.

And then you'll just have to check in the cron manager if the chatbox task is set active and this should do it :)

What do you mean exactly by private ? If you want regular users not to see it, then you can just set the usergroups options ofr the other groups to no.

It's not possible actually to show the chatbox only on certains forums but this is a functionnality I am willing to add.

cant figure out how to unban and see a list of banned people. how do i do this?

Use the help button in the chatbox to see the command syntaxes :)

[BeboxForum]

Just installed this on my forum
Problem is in Usergroups and the Chatbox section of admincp it is all in French. How can I change this.

[BeboxForum]

Oh

Everything is in frnech even n forum shoutbox yet I installed the lanugage file?

[VBDev]

Oh

Everything is in frnech even n forum shoutbox yet I installed the lanugage file?

Have you installed the language file as stated in the readme file ?

[mc0676]

Hi,
i've installed this great shoutbox but i've a problem.
The shoutbox is more large of the page and so all the forum visualization is with the orizzontal bar.
This is the url:
http://www.vwgolfcommunity.com/vbulletin

[entertain]

Please keep your request in mind and ask it again once the new version will be released ok, i'll do this. ;)

other thing:
Why weren't there any v2.0 development status information the last 2 weeks? :o

[mc0676]

Another question, how i can reduce the character dimension of the shouts ?

[BeboxForum]

Can you upload a n image containing all the commands with an explanation next to them

[hscorp]

one of my users can't see the chatbox

and all the other users in the same group can see and use the chatbox

and i tried to change the user group to moderators and he is can't see the chatbox also btw he can't see the options in the ucp too

what is wrong??

Perhaps you could diminish the size of the text input box as it might be the problem.

Can you post a screenshot rather than a link as the chatbox can't be seen by guests ;)

ok, i'll do this. ;)

other thing:

Coz I didn't had the time too hehe. I am a busy guy :D

But I promise I'll do one during the weekend.

Another question, how i can reduce the character dimension of the shouts ?

By editing the template mgc_chatbox_bit and adding style tags to diminish font size on the chatbox spans.

Can you upload a n image containing all the commands with an explanation next to them

Just click the help button in the chatbox this does it

one of my users can't see the chatbox

and all the other users in the same group can see and use the chatbox

and i tried to change the user group to moderators and he is can't see the chatbox also btw he can't see the options in the ucp too

what is wrong??

If he can't see the options in his ucp this could be perhaps you haven't made the modification to the modifyoptions tempalte during install ?

[mc0676]

VBDEV, really thanks for char dimension suggestion.
For the windows dimension i have made a mistake in the forumhome templates, sorry ! :-)

[physiart]

Installed, excellent mod, congrats!!!
You have to first set the option : MGC Chatbox : General Options > Numbers of days of the shouts to remove to your wanted value.Done, I've set it to remove shouts daily.

And then you'll just have to check in the cron manager if the chatbox task is set active and this should do it :)By saying "cron manager" do you mean the Scheduled Task Manager? And by chatbox task do you mean the Automatic deletion of messages of MGC Chatbox? If so, it's set up allright but it doesn't seem to work. Yesterday's shouts are still there. Please advise in detail.

Another thing: I don't know if it's a bug or not, but when I click on "New Posts" and there are no results, the chatbox link disappears from the navbar. I have to click on the homepage link to make it appear again.

Thanx in advance!

[theoz1]

I have the red x's in place of the buttons on the top of the chatbox, any suggestions?

Also is there a way to move this to the side of the page like a column instead of being in the middle?

Thx.

Just thought of this. on the top right side as well it says MGC Chatbox and has a down arrow next to it. I click on it and it just has a little blue line. I would like to get rid of it, but would first like to know what that is. thx

Wow that's strange I don't see why the chatbox would disapear like that !

About your problem it's strange if you have set both option that should do it.

What I know is that the newpost page is quite tricky sometimes with global var that perhaps are not globalized os it perhaps is due to that.

Hello, I have a problem to see files.

Only I can see the 1 page. I show you these here link:

mypage/mgc_chatbox.php?do=view_archive(Work well)this is the link of navbar

index.php/mgc_chatbox.php?do=view_archive&page=1 (Do not work), this is the link of the principal page of the chatbox.

index.php/mgc_chatbox.php?do=view_archive&page=2 (Do not work),this is the link of the file pages.

How do I solve this problem?

thank VBDev

[theoz1]

Right now I currently have the chatbox in the middle of the page by default. I want to have it on the right side going as a column being more taller than longer, that way it doesnt take up so much space. Like looking at this page right now, the far right side as you can see where the green is, I want it to be over there and only take up that amou nt of space in widthwise. Sorry if this is a little confusing.

[csavern]

is there a way to resize this for some reason it is sticking out past my forums

This is a known bug.

Open the mgc_chatbox.php file and search for :

$pagenav = construct_page_nav($pagenumber, $perpage, $getnb_chats['nb_chats'],
$vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/mgc_chatbox.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 'do=view_archive');

Replace it by :

$pagenav = construct_page_nav($pagenumber, $perpage, $getnb_chats['nb_chats'],
$vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/mgc_chatbox.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 'do=view_archive&what=' . $what);

This need rewriting of the mgc_chatbox template to achieve that purpose.

This is something that needs time so I am sorry but unless you try to work it out on yourself i can't help you much :(

What do you mean ?

[physiart]

Other cron tasks work well on your forum ?That's exactly what I was trying to check out. I'm not sure about that, 'cause I can't verify the results (i.e. the hourly cleanup what cleans up?). Anyway, clicking on "Run now" old shouts should be removed immediately, but they don't. I don't know if it's relative that my host server runs in safe mode.
BTW, when checking the Scheduled Task Log Viewer it displays allright the actions (Old messages of MGC Chatbox removed), but old shouts are still there.

What I know is that the newpost page is quite tricky sometimes with global var that perhaps are not globalized os it perhaps is due to that.Maybe, but it's not really a problem, rather than annoying. I won't give it further thinking, until any of my users notice it. ;)

Hi there,

I was wondering, if there was any way I could gain the IP address of a guest? This guest continually spams our shout box with rude comments...and pages of them. For now we have disabled guests posting all together, but we only want this to be temporary as this is a form of contact for our guests, as we don't allow them to post in the forum.

Thanks

Have you tested on a local test forum with the same parameters for the scheduled tasks ?

This requires some modification coding, unless you have those skills I can't be of any help for the moment, I'm sorry.

Basically you'd need to add a field in the mgc_chatbox sql table to log ip, and modify the request that insert a shout in the database (in the mgc_chatbox.php file).

I installed a site meter in the footer of our forum. It logs every IP, time and pages viewed. Match up the times and you should be able to figure out who it is. It's at the bottom of every page, including our cover page. Click on it, and it will give you instructions on how to use it. It's free.

I want to finish the version with the things I have planned so for the moment my requests acceptance list is closed and loggin nothing lol but feel free to ask me again once the new one will be release.

When ever I type /ban somones name it says user does not exist and when I do /pm somones name it says I don't have permission

The syntax is not /ban username or /pm username your_message.

It's more complicated than that, please check the help in the chatbox, it describes exactly those commands syntaxes.

Have you uploaded the files in the clientscript directory ?

yes I did!

[bwize]

It's probably something really simple but i've been staring at my computer so long nothing's easy. I've done all what is asked in the readme file, everything seems like it went ok. Nothing shows up, page loads as quick as normal. I went to this address:

site.com/forum/mgc_chatbox.php and get this msg

"test, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons"

All the permissions are set, it happens with a test account and admin

another question why don't i see smiley's ???

[firstrebel]

Server load has been covered a few times on this thread, but I am still baffled why there is a problem. With Zero Tolerance's Shoutbox 2.1 there was no increase on server load and shouts were instant.

With this mod if you set the refresh too low you get high server load. If you set the refresh high then you have ridiculous time delays and messages get out of synch.

I have set refresh to 4 seconds and the server load as in 'top' can get up to 4 or 5. If I set the refresh to 10 or more seconds my members complain about the delay.

I ran FlashChat for a while and that did not affect server load.

So how come we have this problem?

Bob

The way the shouts are retrieved is not the same on my chatbox as I have decided that shouts would be retrieved through ajax, even for the first load of the chatbox, this is why they don't appear immediatly on page load.

About the problem of server load, 4 or 5 is a bit high IMO, most chatbox overload the server in that case, how did you track that server load ? Is it cpu time ?

It's in formating options in the acp.

MGC Chatbox Evolution (v2.0) Development status

As I promised, here is the new development status update.

I have been pretty busy since the beginning of the year at work and haven't been able to do a lot of work on the chatbox but it's going on its way and there is now very few things to finish before it's ready for beta release.

I know this is quite long for all of you but I want to bring you a very very good version of the product so it takes the time ;)

So far, all commands have been ported back to the new command system and the list of remaining tasks has drastically diminished, most of them are already existing features that need to be rewritten for the new code structure.

I have also changed the way ajax is handled in order to enhance compatibility with non-english languages with specific characters. It's now handled in the way the Jelsoft team handles it in vBulletin.

Many tweaks have been added too but you will discover them upon release.

Following is the list of remaining tasks :

Re-adding the possibility to show the chatbox on forumhome, forumdisplay, showthread and all pages features (for the moment it works only on full page mode but this is not a big deal, just few plugins to get back to the new version) [OK]
Archives w. download archive feature (The archive page will be remodeled as actually it's a bit too big with all messages split alone in their boxes [OK]
Inactive mode [OK]
Creating a session tracking for the chatbox or tweaking the vBulletin one in order to be able to get a working version of the who's in the chatbox [OK]
Maximum number of posts per day to access the chatbox (dynamic 24H)
Separate timestamp for archives and chatbox [OK]
Forumids where to show the chatbox in case of display on the forumdisplay or showthread pages [OK]
Default text color for usergroups [OK]
Shouts search system (Perhaps not sure it will be in the upcoming version)
Work with stangger5 on the little tweak that could help for the vbadvanced modAnd the most important thing will be to make an importer from the old version to new one as I have renamed all chatbox tables to new names due to the major changes in the code structure. The importer will only get back old chats to the new version leaving you the configuration of the chatbox to achieve :)

I think I'll release a beta before developping an importer, which I hope will be in 2 weeks (I will not be able to code during the weekend this week so won't be able to work a lot on it).

[theoz1]

Dont know if this is possible, but I am making a home page for my forums that is not part of vbulletin. Just using microsoft frontpage. Is there a way to put this on it even though it does not involve vbulletin?

thx.

[VBDev]

No sorry this is not possible.

[gunitman247]

About the stats, where have you put the $cb_stats code ?

Is chatbox meant to be shown on forumhome on your forum ?

About the pm command which syntax have you used ?

Thats my FORUMHOME Template.

I do not have the CB running on the forumhome but on a separate page. http://www.globalsigalliance.com

[VBDev]

The only thing that could avoid chatbox stats from being displayed (by looking back into my code) is the options that activates or not the stats on forumhome.

[gunitman247]

Thanks. I think this is vitally important to the success of the chatbox.

[GoNz00]

jsut wondering if there is anything i can do to the UK language file to work with UTF-8

if i edit UTF 8 into the language file i cant use inline editing for one :(

edit, fixed it.

use the uk MCG language file to overwrite the custom UK one, then go into the options for the uk file and change it back to UTF-8 as the upload defaults it, working great again :)

[nicolerork]

Is there a way to display the users in the chat within/below the chatbox instead of clicking on the "Who's Online Channel" button?

[VBDev]

Is there a way to display the users in the chat within/below the chatbox instead of clicking on the "Who's Online Channel" button?

If you are confident in php and javascript yes it could be possible to get the whosonline by adding ajax calls to get the whosonline.

This the way it is done when you click on the channel button but you should modify it so that it displays on load under the chatbox.

[abe_119]

Have it *installed*. Loving it !!!
Need help with 2 things though.
1. Click on the "archives" (chatbox) -- says no files found - error, but go to "view archives" on navbar, works fine.
2. Same thing when I click "help" button.

Can you tell me where to fix this ?
Thanks

[abe_119]

Just found out ... it's just the path.
but where do i change the path so it goes to the right folder ??

[VBDev]

By path you mean url ? This is dependant of the url you set in your vbulletin options.

[abe_119]

i'm a newbie ... sorry if i'm asking too many simple questions

in nav bar, when i click on the "view archive" under MGC Chatbox, it takes me to www.domain.com/forum/mgc_chatbox.php which is right.

but when i clicked "archive" on the chatbox, it took me to www.domain.com/mgc_chatbox.php, and of course it could not find the page (error).
and so the 2 other buttons (help,user) in the chat box

again sorry for asking this simple question.
what should i do ?
may i pm you ?

[abe_119]

By path you mean url ? This is dependant of the url you set in your vbulletin options.
problem solved !!
thanks

[physiart]

BTW, I coudn't get it to work with vbadvanced, although I've followed instructions correctly. And still, cron job won't work in my forums and old shouts are not deleted automatically (vbulletin 3.6.7.PL1). I have to delete them manually by typing /del all every once in a while.

For vbadvanced, you can look at stangger5 addon :)

About the cron, I'll look at it for the next version.

This is a command (check the help in the chatbox).

[VBDev]

MGC Chatbox Evo beta launch certainly next week !

[MotMann]

Is it possibel, that Winner and Higscrores from ibProArcade listet in the Chatbox, as in other Chatboxes works?

[VBDev]

It is certainly possible.

However I am sorry but I don't have the time to build such specific things.

[EFLMD]

thanks for the hack..installed it..worked great..

[justino]

Hi, VBDev!


First of all I want to congratulate you for your excellent work you have done:)

Now comes the part of doubts.

Installed your chatbox in my forum 3.7 and appears to me this link over the chatbox will be someone I could to help solve this problem..

thank?s in advance :D

I think this is the link of the navbar. You have certainly put it in the wrong place.

It's not really useful now as there is a link in the chatbox itself that links to the same pages. You should remove chatbox template edits from the navbar one.

Hi the chatbox keeps disappearing on me but everyone else can see it. I have to keep reinstalling the mod inorder to see it.

I think that you haven't done the modification to the modifyoptions template. So if you modify your options then the chatbox will disappear.

You have to the modification and then go to your usercp to set the show chatbox option to yes.

[jalmz]

how to reduce the font as default in the chatbox??

[gdavis480]

this is strange I remember adding doing the modifyoptions, it must of got deleted when my site when down for 5 minutes

This is not possible "AS IS" unless you do template changes, I'll add the possibility for the release coming this week to choose between smallfont or normalfont.

Ok so no everything is working for ya pal ?

Great ! Don't forget to click install if you want to be kept updated of the new ersion / info releases :)

[jalmz]

thanks vbdev..

nice mod.

[jalmz]

btw, how can i put the mgc chat below the game? (flash game..)
or before the

ibProArcade v2.6.6+
Extended vBulletin-Version by MrZeropage (www.vbulletin.org)
? Chris Kelly 2004

example:

MGC CHAT BOX

ibProArcade v2.6.6+
Extended vBulletin-Version by MrZeropage (www.vbulletin.org)
? Chris Kelly 2004

[VBDev]

By using the show on all page functionnality in a variable.

So you'll be able to put the chatbox at the location you want by a template edit :)

[jalmz]

how?

i already try the ARCADE template...

i want the mgc chat box display below the game..

http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/8763/mgcchatboxcp0.jpg

[VBDev]

What have you done exactly ?

[VBDev]

@jamz: then change the location of the variable to under the arcades.

[jalmz]

vbdev.. what do you mean? do i have to open the arcade.php... because this is not possible in the ARCADE template..

[VBDev]

I have never looked at the arcade mod so I can't tell.

As far as my knowledge goes, the only way to do so would be to add the variable somewhere in the templates.

You should consider forwarding your question directly to the author of the arcade mod to ask where to put the variable to display it in the position you want.

[jalmz]

ok vbdev.. thanks...

<font color="red">MGC Chatbox Evo development is finished</font>

The remaining tasks before release are the readme writing and the translation from french to english. (Plus an importer from the current chatbox for the shouts)

Release will be on Friday or Saturday.

[RvG2]

just upgraded to vb 3.7.0 b4 and I am having a loading issue.

I have noticed this normally when someone is upgrading new vb script, un-install the mods then install the mods again... now with loading issue. :)

[VBDev]

What do you mean by loading issue ?

The loading message is showing all the time ?

[Dinatius]

Is there a way to change /team to another /command? I'm running a guild site, and people are used to typing /officer, I'd like to be able to use the same command in chatbox as in game.
Otherwise working great! Installed last night :)

[VBDev]

this will possible with the next version ;)

Wait a little time it will be released at end of the week.

[Dark Cynicus!]

it doesnt load for me =/

[RvG2]

What do you mean by loading issue ?

The loading message is showing all the time ?

yes sir... :erm:

may I ask how can I do a "full" clean up then I will a do fresh install again. I think this will work. Perhaps when I un-install some of the changes done before has not been reverted.

[VBDev]

one more question. I am using vb 3.7.0 b4, I would like to show the chatbox also to groups and to user profiles. Kindly advice how can I do it. ;)

[VBDev]

http://www.rhythematics.com/forums/ Like It Doesnt Show.. then when i go to http://www.rhythematics.com/forums/mgc_chatbox.php it says i dont have permissions but i did all the permissions

Sometimes the permissions can be due to the number of posts to see the chatbox not well set.

Can you make a screenshot of the usergroup rights configuration you have made so that I can say you what's wrong.

do you have plans to include settings in groups/profiles for vb 3.7? :rolleyes:

What do you mean by that ? I have not yet looked at all vB3.7 possibilities so I don't know what you're talking about :D

[Shanj]

Thank you (installed) A joyful and superb mod.
For me it is a perfect bridge between our forums and a great suite of chatrooms - without this we can only really meet at set times for chats. Now we can connect with others on the forums, and spontaneously startt little chats, or gather in the big chat suite.
Thank you LOTS. Was a bit more compliucated to install than other mods I have done. But the instructions were very clear so all went well.
* * * * Four stars.

[anzo]

help! the hack works great, but everything is in French. how do I change that to English? I've tried to edit stuff, but I can't understand a thing :(

[VBDev]

You have to import the language xml as described in the install instructions.

Finally the release won't be a beta but a full release !

I will release it tonight, I am waiting for captainslater (german translator) to finish the translation on its side.

Cu this evening (GMT + 1) he he.

[alessai]

where are you going to release ? 3.6 ? 3.7 ? or both ?

[VBDev]

I will release it in the 3.7 area as it is compatible with both 3.7 and 3.6.

And also because it contains big changes so it is kinda separated from the current version.

Any ideas? thanks!

You should have ran a small search in the thread with the vB search feature, this is a question that was asked many times !

What has caused this error is that you haven't read the uninstall instructions so leading to that error.

You have two solutions:

Install the mgc custom bitfield product again, remove the chatbox xml files from the includes/xml dir and then remove the product again.
Remove the chatbox xml files from the includes/xml dir and then rebuild bitfields manually

Solved, it was not my problem.

After installing the chatbox into the Ibproarcade pages, the Who's Online doesn't work like it used to (online.php) After installing MGC chatbox, arcade users location is always indicated to be 'MGC chatbox', instead of 'Arcade home' or 'Playing game' etc. The Chatbox is working perfectly. I have the chatbox displayed on the arcade home page and also all the individual game pages.

Can this be fixed so that arcade users locations are correctly indicated?

[VBDev]

This was a problem with this version.

In the new version which was released (MGC Chatbox Evo see top thread), this shouldn't happen anymore.

Wish I had known about the new version when I installed this a week ago.

Do I have to remove the existing template edits to install the new version?

[glennybee]

Superb!

I've just installed this as well as the CMPS module.

Looking excellent! :)

I've been up for 30hrs building this now.

Loving every minute of it! :)

[softvnzla]

Can someone had experience the same as me,yesterday I've put myself invisible to other members and for some reason I stop seing the shout,have uncheck the invisible option but still don't see it.

Asked other Admin to do it aswell and now we are both without see the shoutbox,can someone help me on this.

[VBDev]

This is certainly because you haven't modified the modifyoptions as requested in the install instructions.

[baby41]

Yes I did and still do not show the chatbox,the only way is to open new account........

[hscorp]

the chat was doing good

but suddenly is say loading and not loading anything

when i tried to open the archive i got access denied and this for all users

what is the problem??

[futuredood]

just a quick q: does this show if someone replies to a new thread like inferno shoutbox? that's the main feature i'm looking for, and inferno seems to be a resource hungry app.

[pewp]

I'm getting the error

Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes)

popping up in my chatbox. This is just a recent thing within the last few weeks. I don't get the error anywhere else on the forums. Anyone has any idea what the issue is? I don't want to have to try to increase the memory limit I don't really see a need for that since it has never been an issue in the year or so that I've been using this addon.

[ZomgStuff]

Do you know why the shoutbox might sometimes dissapear for certain users with 3.6.7?

[glennybee]

Make sure they have permission to view the shoutbox in Usergroup Permissions.

If using Firefox browser, make sure 'Java' and Javascript' are enabled in the options.

[ZomgStuff]

Make sure they have permission to view the shoutbox in Usergroup Permissions.

If using Firefox browser, make sure 'Java' and Javascript' are enabled in the options.

Yup I've got both enabled.

[ZomgStuff]

Yup, check on all those.

[solidlink]

I am using vbadvanced, but the MGC link does not appear on the navbar can someone help?

[baby41]

Make sure they have permission to view the shoutbox in Usergroup Permissions.

If using Firefox browser, make sure 'Java' and Javascript' are enabled in the options.


All that was chcked before but for some reason I still don't have acees to shoutbox,it as disapeard when I put myself anonymous to other members.

Can someone had the same problem before or someone has some ideas how to solve this,regards.......

[baby41]

Nobody here to give me an advice how to put my shoutbox back on,regards.

[kj_202]

PROBLEM :(, how can you make the chatbox only viewable on e.g. first style, it views it on all :(, is it possible to make it for 1 style ONLY?

[VBDev]

Yes I did and still do not show the chatbox,the only way is to open new account........

The only reason why it wouldn't shoiw is if user are banned or don't have then permissions. This is the only thing I see.

the chat was doing good

but suddenly is say loading and not loading anything

when i tried to open the archive i got access denied and this for all users

what is the problem??

Are permissions for usergroup well set ?

just a quick q: does this show if someone replies to a new thread like inferno shoutbox? that's the main feature i'm looking for, and inferno seems to be a resource hungry app.

No it doesn't, the new release (MGC Chatbox Evo) will one day.

Honestly no I don't see why you would get that error :confused: How much have you set for the refresh rate ?

[VBDev]

Yup, check on all those.

Then that's perhaps you haven't made the modification to the modifyoptions template that is requested in the install instructions ?

I am using vbadvanced, but the MGC link does not appear on the navbar can someone help?

I am not sure but I wonder if somehow vbadvanced has a separate navbar template (not sure though).

All that was chcked before but for some reason I still don't have acees to shoutbox,it as disapeard when I put myself anonymous to other members.

If I am right, anonymous options is in the My Options part of the admincp.

You said you have made the modification to the modifyoptions template but I think not if this has dissapeared upon option change.

Do you see the options of the chatbox in the My Options part of the admincp ? If not then apply the changes :)

PROBLEM :(, how can you make the chatbox only viewable on e.g. first style, it views it on all :(, is it possible to make it for 1 style ONLY?

You could do that by adding a condition in the global hook of the chatbox but not sure of the variable which contain the styleid, try to search it and then I'll tell you where you can put it.

[viper007]

I installed But i am getting the settings In Different language...

Permet de pr?venir les utilisateurs de la commande /team quand un nouveau message est disponible dans le canal team si celui-ci n'est pas activ? (En Mode Double Canaux).

Attention:
Cette fonctionnalit?e utilise une requ?te ? chargement de la page, changement de canal, envoi d'un chat ou rafra?chissement forc?.
SAUF si la fonctionnalit? "mode inactif" est activ?e (dans ce cas l? la requ?te est commune au deux).

[viper007]

[toutatis]

I could not install this mod. I use CA_EVo_orange template.
I could not do Navbar template editings, I cant find these :
<if condition="$show['popups']"> and
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

HELP :(

[dbtp]

Can this be installed as just a link off the navbar which will open the chatbox in a new screen, rather than it being part of the actual forum?

[Skyrider]

Nice, found the screenies. Checking out now! :D

[fredang85]

This is a screenshot of my site, I have a width problem, which template should I adjust to rectify this?

This only happens to usergroups who has permissions to view the chat

And there is a mini menu which I circled. Is that supposed to belong to the navbar? My site uses a little different navbar at the side though.

[tillcat5]

is there a query one can run to enable chatbox for all users?
We seemed to have lost the option for User CP -->Settings and Options --> Edit Options --> Chatbox on/off

I'd like to just turn it on for all users from adminCP

thanks

[VBDev]

I am sorry but I won't maintain this chatbox version for the new CRSF protection changes introduced into 3.6.10 and 3.7.0 Gold versions of vBulletin.

From now on please switch to the last version : MGC Chatbox Evo.

It is available in the 3.7 Mods forum :) (See link in first post)

[futuredood]

Hi can anyone point me to what template to edit to adjust the height of the main chatbox?

[futuredood]

For some reason, since I don't allow guests to use the chatbox, they can't see the input text area, so the width of the chat box is about half the size. Anyone know a workaround to this without giving non-registered people access?

How do we install a bbcode midi?

Hello,

I have search this thread a few times to try and find the info but cant see what I need....

I need to chnage the name of the chat box on the Who's online page of my forum. (not the chat box's whos online, but the main on on the forum)

It coming up as MGC Chatbox, with the same name as a link under it in the Location column for users currently in the chat box.

Ive searched the phrases and cant find it there at all. I'm presuming its hard coded?

Could you please tell me which template I need to look in to find it?

[stephlb]

I improperly uninstalled the chat, and I need to rebuild the vbulletin bitfields I think. How do you accomplish that?

Oh, nevermind. When I was in the usercp manager and went to admin, it rebuilt the fields and all seems to be fine now.

will it work with 3.7 ?

[Chachacha]

I have 2 questions about this.

1. Will it work with v3.6.4?

2. I have vbshout installed. If I simply disable it, will I be able to install MGC Chatbox without any conflicts? Or would I have to completely uninstall vbshout first?

[Ranger187]

If it works for a prior version, by default generally, the newer version of the forum will work to. But to answer your question. Yes. See my next answer below.
