MGC Chatbox Evo

[scottishrep]

Installed and all working fine. Thanks for a great mod again.

[theOZer]

Salute VBDev!
Version 1.0.0 is a gem; works flawlessly; I'm running vB3.7.2 PL1.
Team Channel set up was easy, straight forward.

What exactly is the small issue? Chats being displayed in the right? (check my attachment)

I'm having the same issue post-upgrade. Tried everything I can think of to fix it.

[BigDog56]

I can't get the chats to show, only if you hit archive.

[g0dfather1984]

Works great! Thank you!

Edit: Nominated

[rolfw1]

Thanks, nice upgrade. :)

About the bug "[Minor] Too much space between chats in collapsed mode", just revert the template "mgc_cb_evo" (if you've edited it before) then everything will be ok.

[Skyrider]

If you have the problem chats not being displayed, just do what I did.. Remove all the files of the evo on the forums. (file wise on FTP) and completely uninstall the chat box. Then, just reupload the files and reinstall the chat box.

[Andyrew]

Working great. :):up:

[itsblack]

There's a minor bug: when you set don't use the smile, it doesn't take effect. MGC will still show it.

The problem is because of the miss matched varname. In the template it is "mgc_cb_evo_smilies", but in the setting part it is "mgc_cb_evo_smileys". Change them with the same name, the minor bug will be fixed.

Ok. I think VBdev is on holiday.....Who here still has issues? I have a HUGE headache and I'm trying not to read unless I have to until the tylenol kick in.... So I'm not going back a few pages and catching up....

[Chewy954]

posts only go to archives.. nothing else..

[skywalker2208]

The only issue that I had was that chats were not displaying but clearing my cache and cookies seemed to fix the problem.

[Ranger187]

Chew......Do us all a favor..... More info ;)

Did you have previous version installed?
Which one?
Did you fully uninstall previous?

[Ranger187]

Yeah, I had that when I installed that beta. Forced a refresh, worked.

[zelnik]

Found a bug, when you set it to show oldest thread the scroll bar doesn't position itself for that it defaults for the first post first.. so you never ever the latest post.

[Ranger187]

Thanks. Old news.... Already listed as issue. ;)

[Deimos]

Anyone having problems with "sticky" posts?
I just made a sticky chat post and when people reply, it doesn't stay at the top hehe.

[Deimos]

Ok, when I enable some of the commands, like Delete, PM etc, my users get this at the top of the page

[Ranger187]

1. Did you FULLY uninstall the previous chat? That means ALL files?
2. Did you d/l this prior to the multiple updates done today?

[Ranger187]

Yeah.........installed the final because the beta stopped scrolling (newest first) and now all the replies = empty. Ugh. I'll look at it later....too tired.

[Ranger187]

Issues fixed except the form field in french.

These are options and thus are in french ;-) You then can change them to wathever you want.

Maybe I'm tired, but class_mgc_cb_evo_cmd.php is not in this new zip.

[Ranger187]

Maybe I'm tired, but class_mgc_cb_evo_cmd.php is not in this new zip.

Odd, I renamed that file and it still works. Seems it's not needed upon final. VBdev, verify this when you get back from your holiday. Thanks.

And uninstalling beta, and reinstalling seemed to fix it. Time will tell.

[thecore762]

Ok, I can't get the shoutbox to work...I installed everything correctly, but the shoutbox won't work.

I installed the: [vB3.6.x-vB3.7.x]MGC_Chatbox_Evo_1.0.0.zip (280.5 KB, 107 downloads) version.
That is the newest one..I thought I don't have to install anything else.

[Ranger187]

Do us all a favor. READ the instructions ;)

Usergroups.... Enable it in there.

Great, that helps, thank you.

BTW: there are still some french words that need to be edited on my chatbox:
On the box before you type in it says: Entrez Votre Chat...I need that changed, I went through the options, but I can't find what I have to edit to get that changed.
I want it to be changed to Type Here.

[Ranger187]

See this for 1.0 ;)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1599887&postcount=2213 <--- If you are talking about the ban one... Yeah, change it yourself...

I personally remove the prompt

In the ADMIN CP > MGC area > Chat Formatting

Show a small prompt message in the chatbox
To avoid users from taking this field has a search field.
Yes No

And

Message to display in the input field on page load
Only displays if the previous option is activated and for the defined usergroups

Yeah yeah... I rock. ;)

I bet saying 'I want' rather than 'could you' really helps in life. Try looking a bit harder at the bottom of the Chats Formatting options.

No not yet, I would have said so in the thread :)

I am leaving tomorrow in the beginning of the afternoon but will certainly make a little visit here on friday as I will be back one days before leaving for Egypt for my second holiday weeks ;)

Yes I forgot to say that but firefox does strange things with cache and if you don't refresh it chatbox could stop working (wrong js file in cache).

Oh yes small bug :) I am attaching the corrected functions_mgc_cb_evo.php here and to the main thread.

[skcyber]

thanks a lot for this update ! ;) it works perfect with the corrected functions_mgc_cb_evo.php

[furst]

For some reason all the shouts are aligned on the right side of the box in a very narrow column. How do I fix this so they are on the left side again?

[VBDev]

Another user I helped experienced that problem while having a non reverted chatbox template.

I think you perphaps made modifications to your mgc_cb_evo template.

To correct this issue, you should revert the template :)

[entertain]

Hi VBDev,

are you able to fix the scrolling bug until your holiday?

Sooooorry. :o

This is normal due to some issues encountered by a beta tester I renamed one of the database field. Thus needing you to uninstall and install again ;)

This file is no longer needed. I forgot to remove the include in the beta this is why you had an error !

Are you sure of what you were telling ?

[cheat-master30]

No not yet, I would have said so in the thread :)

Thanks for this new file. Updated earlier, and those who were complaining about it said the error went away... how come it only effects some people?

[VBDev]

It certainly depends of the different users browser cache configuration.

[cheat-master30]

I don't understand how that would cause an effect, any extra information? Because about half my forum said it happened, half said it didn't.

[Nakadai]

Working well thus far, thanks!

[Stanley80]

Hi, first I will say, my english isn't good :)
I hope, you understand me....

I have updated to Version 1.0, but the chatbox doesn't display:

85674

In the archiv I can see the messages, but the function to delete it will not work. There is a message "Error on the side":

85675

Can you help me to fix this problem please?

[VBDev]

Oh !!!! Seems like I forgot to modify after the command includes into the code of the chatbox. Shame on me :(

I am sorry you'll have to wait for the next release to make that work again.

However, you can use the tick boxes and the remove shouts button in the archives to remove chats so it's not a big problem it can wait till I fix it :)

[Deimos]

Thanks for the update, the errors are gone
One question for you, or anyone, how do I delete individual chat messages with this new version?
Before I'd click the little arrow and choose "Delete this chat"
The only option I see is to delete all, or delete by username/userid, which is a pain when all I want to do is delete a single chat comment.

[Pavlus]

Any of you have problem writing "!" and "(" in opera?

[Saint_ago]

I'm getting some delay in chats display.. anyone is having the same problem?

[gorentals]

I just installed the 1.0 version, and it just keeps saying ...Loading... chat never comes up. No matter what browser i'm in. On 3.7.0

[g0dfather1984]

How do I get it so mods can't see the IP address?

[gorentals]

Ok, my bad, i have it working now. I also would like to know how to remove IP address from anyone but the admin, or just remove it all together would be better.

Thanks

Read the changelog included in every release or in the first post.

Version 1.0.0 : 16 August 2008
Corrected bugs
Channel icons not blinking
Chatbox autocomplete function firing error on pages without the chatbox in it

New features
Commands are now included in the chatbox thus simplifying chatbox install
Intelligent chats reload system to improve performances and speed based on jQuery plugin (no more full reload)
Commands now usable in all channels
IP of the chat's author displayed in the menu on the left to users who can manage the chatbox

[gorentals]

Thanks, Ranger. But I was looking for code that would allow my mods, to manage, it, but I don't want anyone to be able to view IP Addresses for privacy issues.

[Ranger187]

To manage the IP? I don't understand. You can't "manage" the ip. If you don't want anyone to see it, just goto usergroups and make sure manage chatbox is set to no. Anything other then that, and it's outside the functions of the chat.

I think what he means is that he wants to give his mods the ability to delete/edit all messages, but not view the IP addresses of the users.

The chatbox should just pull permissions from the usergroups menu in vbulletin instead of doing it independently.

[BozzaJos]

Hello everyone!

I know that vBDev is on a well earned holiday but I was really hoping someone else could help me with my problem. I've uninstalled my shoutbox (removed all files and uninstalled product) but now I have installed it the new version and everything works fine except for the inactive mode. When it gets inactive after 10 minutes, you normally have to click on the green arrows to get the text back. However, when I click on the green arrows, I get to see the following:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ (http://img371.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shoutboxerroror4.png)

Isn't really correct is it? Looks pretty darn ugly hehe. When I press F5, it gets back to normal. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance guys!

[Pavlus]

Ok i will make a next post ;)

In opera browser you can not type ! ) and " inthe chatbox, it looks like its forbidden :) Any ideas how to change it?

[Ranger187]

OH. Manage but NOT see the IP's. If manage is on....so is IP.

I'm sure if VBdev could add that as a seperate tick box, bot not sure you would want to remove that from a manage function and isolate it. I wonder if that can be adjusted in the VB settings themself for the usergroups. I think it might be. But again, that starts falling outside the chat schema.

ANYONE WITH PROTOTYPE this mod is NOT compatible and will lock at refreshing the chatbox and not load. The programmer needs to fix this issue as jquery and prototype play nice with each other which means it is his code directly causing it. If you need more info and js error logs and so on let me know I can send them to you. Has to do with your js files.

So how bout we get a ton of people to come on there and start bashing that? Are you 2? Why not contact VBdev direrctly. The guy is extremely nice and you gotta come in talking trash.

Why not spend more time troubleshooting it? Or bring the errors to the table. This stuff really irritates me.

Maybe if you read, you would realize it could be a few things. ONE BEING MOD_SECURITY. ;)

This has nothing to do with bashing and no direct attack was made. I am sorry if you took it the wrong way. I am just letting people know an issue and the owner so he can fix it. It may be the cause of why people in past couple pages mentioned not loading. I know and understand he wont be back for a few weeks. I am just letting people know an issue so they can be aware and can either turn off any mod that uses prototype or turn off this chatbox. It is totally up to them. I am actually looking at his files to give the solution and a fix for it and send it to owner. I have the error logs and will send it to owner no reason to post it as won't make much sense to anyone who doesn't know javascript and coding. So again no bashing and no direct attack or harmful feelings towards developer at all sorry if it seemed that way. Here to help is all.

Thanks for the apology. I was kinda harsh. Been up for 2 days working on a huge server migration and crabby. ;)

Thanks, I was expecting a typical "Ranger187" reply which is RAWR! ;)

I'm guessing protytpe is yours? After looking around, Donation system? If there is an interoperability issue by all means lets hammer it out. (VBDev is on vacation until the 30th) but I've got a ton of time into debugging it on just about every freaking server lol. I've noticed it's either the .js, CRSF, or Mod Security which is mainly only on *ix based machines and not IIS based. If you need help looking into it (although your a coder so I'm sure you are way ahead of me on this) just shoot me a msg and I'll gladly offer help.

Now that I think about it, what you found might also be one of the reason the show oldest first has issues displaying based off that code. Who knows..... After looking at SQL and every code and OS since Friday my brain is fried.

Prototype not mine it is just like jquery. The two play nice with each other and have been for years. Since vB uses YUI most scrips SHOULD be made with it and not try to do jquery or prototype. You end up loading js scripts multiple times sometimes 4 times or more and becomes counter productive. Again looking into issue now will let you know what I come up with. Have to load this software on test site to really test.

I have recently upgraded to the new version. Now there are at least 4 members who can't see any of the chats. They see the box, the BB code icons, and who's online, but no actual chats!!

I tried signing in as two of them, and I can see the chats just fine signed in as them. Here is a screenshot of what they are seeing:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Any suggestions? Also - one other weird thing, the chatbox was working fine for one of them this morning, and nothing was changed in the meantime.

EDIT: Two of them have just told me they can see it with IE but not with Firefox, but I use Firefox and I can see it fine.

[Queball_Beast]

I am having this same problem.

Using both IE and firefox I can see it in firefox but I cannot see chat messages in IE.

When the script was first updated I was unable to see chats in both IE and firefox, after refreshing a few time I can now see it in firefox but cannot see it in IE.


Also is there a way to stop the chat from displaying Horizontal .[ Example below ] ?
The Align usernames and chats set to NO/Yes makes no difference as it still aligned horizontally in the chatbox.

Thank you Adam for this, and your awesome donation system. I was wondering why I was having problems with the latest version of the chattbox. I won't try and cut off the head of the messenger. LOL Peace!

[Keyser Soze]

I know how you can fix the MSIE problem of not displaying the shouts:
Simply open the Style Manager in your AdminCP, click on "edit templates" and revert all templates belonging to the MGC Chatbox.
It seems like the uninstall routine of the MGC Chatbox does not work as expected and is incomplete. It doesn't remove all old templates if you click on "uninstall".

But I found another more serious bug. If you enable the "ban" command in the latest version and enter the command "/ban show", the only thing you can see in the popup is a mysql error message:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT username,userid,usergroupid,displaygroupid
FROM user
WHERE mgc_cb_evo_banned='1'
ORDER BY username ASC;

MySQL-Fehler : Unknown column 'mgc_cb_evo_banned' in 'where clause'
Fehler-Nr. : 1054Why does the plugin expect a column called "mgc_cb_evo_banned" in the user-table if it didn't create it in installation process? So it seems that not only the uninstallation routine is buggy but also the installation.

Want a chuckle??
I downloaded this and set out to test it locally on one of my dev machines as is the norm.
I uninstalled the old copy, copied the new files across and imported the product and hey.... not working.
Well, to cut a long story short I spent virtually all yesterday spitting blood, and cursing the ground every Mother and their Son walked on :( :(
It wasn't until My Daughter returned from shopping, towards the evening that she reminded me that I had changed the HTDocs folder to another partition (without deleting the original one)

What a bloody eejit I felt... could've crawled into the woodwork :o:o

[Kaycee123]

I know how you can fix the MSIE problem of not displaying the shouts:
Simply open the Style Manager in your AdminCP, click on "edit templates" and revert all templates belonging to the MGC Chatbox.
It seems like the uninstall routine of the MGC Chatbox does not work as expected and is incomplete. It doesn't remove all old templates if you click on "uninstall".



No, that wasn't it - none of mine needed reverting. But I did get them to empty their cache like suggested by Ranger187 and that worked great!!


Thank you both for your suggestions!!

Hi,

Just back for a small day before leaving for my second week holidays. I can see some issues raised, you guyz should take holidays to leave me with no bugs lol ;) (Just kidding).

Any of you have problem writing "!" and "(" in opera?

What do happen when you used those chars ?

I'm getting some delay in chats display.. anyone is having the same problem?

What do you mean by delays ? The chatbox loading process is the following :

The page loads with the chatbox displayed
Chats are retrievedHello everyone!

I know that vBDev is on a well earned holiday but I was really hoping someone else could help me with my problem. I've uninstalled my shoutbox (removed all files and uninstalled product) but now I have installed it the new version and everything works fine except for the inactive mode. When it gets inactive after 10 minutes, you normally have to click on the green arrows to get the text back. However, when I click on the green arrows, I get to see the following:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ (http://img371.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shoutboxerroror4.png)

Isn't really correct is it? Looks pretty darn ugly hehe. When I press F5, it gets back to normal. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance guys!

Hmmm, your screenshot is strangely small, I can't see it maximized.

But I think I know what happens and this is another issue due to the new things that were added in the chatbox. The chats are displayed under the inactive message that's right ?

OH. Manage but NOT see the IP's. If manage is on....so is IP.

I'm sure if VBdev could add that as a seperate tick box, bot not sure you would want to remove that from a manage function and isolate it. I wonder if that can be adjusted in the VB settings themself for the usergroups. I think it might be. But again, that starts falling outside the chat schema.

I can do that, I add it to the todo list.

http://www.prototypejs.org/
Prototype not mine it is just like jquery. The two play nice with each other and have been for years. Since vB uses YUI most scrips SHOULD be made with it and not try to do jquery or prototype. You end up loading js scripts multiple times sometimes 4 times or more and becomes counter productive. Again looking into issue now will let you know what I come up with. Have to load this software on test site to really test.

That's not exactly right ! vB uses only limited parts of yui (only the basis). This is the reason why I decided to use jQuery.

If I was doing it with YUI plugins this would be the same, there would be the same problems, I would be forced to add yui plugins and if other developpers were loading the same script then this would also be counter productive. So I think I will stuck with jQuery.

However, I would be really interested in knowhing what exactly happens with Prototype, can you give me more information on what is going wrong ? (error logs, etc...). Any clues would be appreciable.

I know how you can fix the MSIE problem of not displaying the shouts:
Simply open the Style Manager in your AdminCP, click on "edit templates" and revert all templates belonging to the MGC Chatbox.
It seems like the uninstall routine of the MGC Chatbox does not work as expected and is incomplete. It doesn't remove all old templates if you click on "uninstall".

But I found another more serious bug. If you enable the "ban" command in the latest version and enter the command "/ban show", the only thing you can see in the popup is a mysql error message:

Why does the plugin expect a column called "mgc_cb_evo_banned" in the user-table if it didn't create it in installation process? So it seems that not only the uninstallation routine is buggy but also the installation.

Did you uninstall the chatbox prior to installing the new version ? Coz if not then you made it wrong and this could be the reason of your error.

Just to add that remaining bug with the PM pop-up. Still not showing.

What was the exact issue ?

Completely uninstalled and reinstalled and still not working for IE. it works for Firefox.

Also still unable to get chat to align 1 chat per column , the chat runs the user name like the below image .

Wow man that's odd !

Have you tried with vBulletin default style ?

[umusic2000]

I just installed the 1.0 version, and it just keeps saying ...Loading... chat never comes up. No matter what browser i'm in. On 3.7.0

This morning I started getting an error where the page was continually loading. I tried restarting the product and also the forum but no change. I had originally installed 0.5.0 but upgraded to 1.0.0 which ran fine (with the exception of the occasional double post on the posters screen only) until this morning.
I tried removing 1.0.0 and then reinstalling 1.0.0 which immediately started the constant loading problem again.
For the moment I have removed 1.0.0 and installed 0.5.0 which seems ok now.

Sorry I can't help much with troubleshooting. Only been using VB for two weeks so learning curve is still quite steep.

Thanks, Simon

The issue is that when chatbox is enabled you do not receive vBulletin PM pop-up.

I've just upgraded from the old version of this hack to evo version. I used to run my chatbox with only 1 query, now it executes 3 queries. 1 for the core hack, 1 for the smilies and 1 for something else. Is it possile to run the new version with only 1 query? (i disabled all settings need extra queries)

[Ranger187]

Stuff like that kills me. Does it really make a difference? Honestly, asking. Because with about 300 members and 30 or so chatting I can't notice a lag or change at all. Maybe on a larger scale this might be noticeable. Or is this just on a anal retentive level?

If it's a reply to me, yes it definetely does. Especially if you are getting 150k daily unique hits and over 4k online users in the peak times. I'm not sure what these 3 queries do. If they are not scanning any big tables, np.

[NeutralizeR]

I also have the same issue with BozzaJos. Plus...

By default, vbulletin asks for confirmation after clicking log out and the page turn into gray in IE. When MGC Chatbox Evo is enabled, it doesn't asks for confirmation and directly logs me out. I can see the yellow javascript error icon in the bottom left corner of IE. Maybe a conflict with the JS files.

I can have 10 people actively chatting in it, and it tells there is no one in there....and the opposite is true as well. I have the refresh settings set fairly low, so there is not much time delay.

This is due to the timelimit setting you can adjust. If I remember right, it adds sql queries. Refresh for the chat, and users in chat setting are 2 different settings.

in order to fit the chatbox on a side column of a portal like vba, it would be nice to resize the chatbox to a minimum. Therefore, it should be possible to arrange the icons (via configuration) beow the input field and have smaller icons. Furthermore, a configurable width would be great.

[VBDev]

Hi all,

Just back from holidays today.

Will start going through all your messages but I am currently a bit sick and thus am not sure If I can handle eveything.

[VBDev]

Ready boys ? Take a long breath and read all my answers :)

I hope i didn't forget anyone.

The issue is that when chatbox is enabled you do not receive vBulletin PM pop-up.

When you are in that condition, which javascript error do you see ?

I've just upgraded from the old version of this hack to evo version. I used to run my chatbox with only 1 query, now it executes 3 queries. 1 for the core hack, 1 for the smilies and 1 for something else. Is it possile to run the new version with only 1 query? (i disabled all settings need extra queries)

If you deactivate the chatbox smilies it will remove one query (used to build up the smilies toolbar).

To go down to one query you can try to remove one other query that should not be run in case of autocompletion mode inactive.
Here is what you can do to give it a try:

Disable the autocompletion option
Edit the functions_mgc_cb_evo.phpand replace :

$commands = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "mgc_cb_evo_command WHERE active='1'");

while ($command = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($commands))
{
if (mgc_cb_evo_can_use_command($command))
{
$show['mgc_cb_evo_command_' . $command['identifier']] = true;

/* If autocompletion is active, add commands tips to autocompletion array */
if ($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_act_autocompletion'])
{
$append_array = get_command_autocompletion_array($command['identifier']);
$autocompletion_js_array = array_merge($autocompletion_js_array,$append_array );
}
}
else
{
$show['mgc_cb_evo_command_' . $command['identifier']] = false;
}
}

if (sizeof($autocompletion_js_array))
{
/* Order table alphabetically */
sort($autocompletion_js_array);

/* Implode array */
$autocompletion_js = implode(',',$autocompletion_js_array);
}

by

/* Retrieving of commands permissions to customize the chatbox displayed elements */
$autocompletion_js_array = array();

if ($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_act_autocompletion'])
{
$commands = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "mgc_cb_evo_command WHERE active='1'");

while ($command = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($commands))
{
if (mgc_cb_evo_can_use_command($command))
{
$show['mgc_cb_evo_command_' . $command['identifier']] = true;

/* If autocompletion is active, add commands tips to autocompletion array */
if ($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_act_autocompletion'])
{
$append_array = get_command_autocompletion_array($command['identifier']);
$autocompletion_js_array = array_merge($autocompletion_js_array,$append_array );
}
}
else
{
$show['mgc_cb_evo_command_' . $command['identifier']] = false;
}
}

if (sizeof($autocompletion_js_array))
{
/* Order table alphabetically */
sort($autocompletion_js_array);

/* Implode array */
$autocompletion_js = implode(',',$autocompletion_js_array);
}
}

This should move things down to one query. I will update the chatbox code accordingly in the next version.


PS - does the shoutbox auto update after somebody posts a message?

No, it does refresh on the other users window each specified number of seconds (you set it as called "autorefresh" time).

Thanks Andrew. I never noticed Dev answered my question. Anyway, here is a bigger screenshot!

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/6937/shoutboxerroroy7.png

Yes this is what I thought, I miss that one out ;)

I have added it to the bug list and will correct it in the next version !

I also have the same issue with BozzaJos. Plus...

By default, vbulletin asks for confirmation after clicking log out and the page turn into gray in IE. When MGC Chatbox Evo is enabled, it doesn't asks for confirmation and directly logs me out. I can see the yellow javascript error icon in the bottom left corner of IE. Maybe a conflict with the JS files.

The problem is that I am a mac user and thus can't test that :(. Could you try to tell me which kind of error is displayed in ie ?

I add it in the list of known bugs.

Honestly this is not something I would, I don't know talkerbot at all and prefer to concentrate on bringing the chatbox to even further completness.

I agree with Ranger187, the VBa chatbox module for my chatbox released by stangger5 already does it.

Is there a way to disable Chatbox in one style? I have a mobile style (and chat does not work on mobile devices that I have tested) so I would just like to disable it only for the mobile style.

Any suggestions?

I have this same need.

Any hope on getting some help with this?



Also - separately, is your next release likely to solve the "non-scrolling" issue when using "oldest first"?

[SnapOff Racing]

Concerning the issue about the private messages, that is happening for me as well. No popup window for new private messages. Just an FYI

[NeutralizeR]

Thanks for the file edit for disabling that query. The old version didn't require any queries for the smilies but it's no big deal.

About the javascript error. Here's a screenshot of forumhome after clicking the logout link:
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/8899/jserrorsu0.jpg


Besides these already known three bugs...:
[Major but non blocking] vBulletin confirm popup (logout or PM) have been reported by somes users as not displayed in IE when the chatbox is active (IE javascript triangle appears)
[Medium] Chats doesn't get removed from the chatbox when the inactivity mode message is displayed

Also - separately, is your next release likely to solve the "non-scrolling" issue when using "oldest first"?

Yes yes I hope to ! I think I'll perhaps need the help of some javascripts guru on that one coz I have tried different ways and nothing did it...

Thanks for the file edit for disabling that query. The old version didn't require any queries for the smilies but it's no big deal.


Hum really ?? Then it's not that sql query we are speaking of. Perhaps it's the one for the announcement in the chatbox if you have activated it and the imagecache is not already called by a vBulletin file on that page. Have you activated announcement and bbcode in announcement ?

I think the number of queries in the next version will be a little higher on page load as I am thinking on modifying the chatbox in order to have the chats loaded on startup such avoiding the little delay of first loading the page and then retrieving them through ajax. This would certainly be appreciated by some people around there :)
So don't worry if you see that the number of queries in the next version is a bit higher (1 or 2 I think), this will mean that I have implemented that feature.

Overall it will do the same number of queries than in the other way as the retrieving of chats through ajax does a number of queries equivalent to a load of a minimal vBulletin page. But you don't see them ;)


About the javascript error. Here's a screenshot of forumhome after clicking the logout link:
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/8899/jserrorsu0.jpg


Is it possible to have the english translation please :)


Besides these already known three bugs...:
[Major but non blocking] vBulletin confirm popup (logout or PM) have been reported by somes users as not displayed in IE when the chatbox is active (IE javascript triangle appears)
[Medium] Chats doesn't get removed from the chatbox when the inactivity mode message is displayed
[Minor] When chats display option is "Oldest first", the chatbox doesn't scroll to new chats on load.

i need the updated code for this to have a perfectly running chatbox:

I'll tell you where do to the similar changes later today or tomorrow.

I agree with Ranger187, the VBa chatbox module for my chatbox released by stangger5 already does it.
Thanks for answering, but:
I might be misunderstood.
I know stangger's vba mod for MGC Chat and I use it. The prob is, the vba mod is designed for the center column of vba, because it's impossible to right-size the Chatbox that far it fits the left or right column. Stangger's mod only wraps your Chatbox, therefore the only place it fits on vba is center column (or you risk a layout mess )
What I suggested was: A bit more configuration of chatbox itself.(e.g. separation of input line and Icon line, using smaller icons, setting a width etc.) to get the whole thing fit in a side column. And that can't be done by stangger's mod.

Regards.

All extra features added in this version are disabled. Announcement and bbcode in announcements features are disabled, too. When i disable the smilies, i see the chatbox is running with only 1 query. In the old version (3.6 version), i had smilies enabled and it was still running with only 1 query. Maybe it's because you added "by random order or by admincp order" selection ?

Javascript error says: "Object doesn't support this property or method" i don't think it's helpful :)

Alright, waiting for your answer for the similar changes...

Ah yes in that case you're right !

I could add the following options :

Small icons/Big icons
Separate input lines and buttonsBut perhaps it won't be enough ?

I think you misunderstood my request, or I misunderstood your answer. I wasn't talking about any error.

My request: I have a mobile-device optimized skin and would like the chatbox to NOT show when using this skin. But I do want it to show on my other default skin.

Is there anything we can do to get it to not show on a certain skin (in my case, the mobile skin)?

[Drocr]

I cant get the smilies to work can someone help?

The option for the width of the chatbox is interesting, I will add that request.

However I don't see the point of separating the username and timestamp. Btw it would really complicate the chatbox template and I am not that up to.

Yes you can by following the chatbox style issue and adding the variable as explained only in your needed style's templates.

You have to activate the smilie bbcode for the chatbox it's an option of the chatbox.

Alright, waiting for your answer for the similar changes...

Here you go :

Edit the mgc_chatbox_ajax.php file and search in the code contained into the condition $_POST['do'] == 'ajax_refresh_chat' :

You must modify the sql request :


$chats = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT c.*,fromu.userid AS fromuserid,fromu.username AS fromusername,fromu.usergroupid AS fromusergroupid,fromu.displaygroupid AS fromdisplaygroupid,
tou.userid AS touserid,tou.username AS tousername,tou.usergroupid AS tousergroupid,tou.displaygroupid AS todisplaygroupid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "mgc_cb_evo_chat AS c
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS fromu ON (c.fromuid=fromu.userid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS tou ON (c.touid=tou.userid)
WHERE $where_clause
ORDER BY sticky DESC,c.dateline DESC
LIMIT $limit
");


By adding after :


LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS tou ON (c.touid=tou.userid)


This:


LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS uf ON(fromu.userid = uf.userid)


And after :


,tou.displaygroupid AS todisplaygroupid


You should add field8.

Then you can use $chat[field8] in the mgc_cb_evo_chatbit template.

[Fireproof]

Yes you can by following the chatbox style issue and adding the variable as explained only in your needed style's templates.



I really hate to bug you, but I am such a newbie, and that advice, while it sounds promising, is not enough for me to do anything with.

Can you be a little more specific? What variable should I be looking for and where might I find it? I'm assuming that the "installation process" added some variable to all my styles somewhere. So it sounds like I can go find whatever that is in the mobile style and just manually remove it.

Please let me know.

thanks in advance.

No no your install process shouldn't have added variables to your style for the chatbox display :)

However, if you follow the little how to which is in the chatbox readme for the style issue this should be possible to only display the chatbox in the styles you want.

I think you should give it a try but I can perhaps add a new option in the next chatbox release.

Hi VBDev,

Firstly welcome back from your holiday I hope you had a great time..

I was wondering if you could help me on the following issues:

I know, separating timestamp and username will complicate the template but would reduce the necessary width of the box (in order to get the whole thing fit on the side columns).

The odd thing is I'm not sure why it is calling it from that location as the only place the shoutbox is located is on the main forum index page..

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Perhaps It's a problem with vBSEO?

Hum it's odd.

It's only on that page that you get those errors ?

And yes, that would be a very CONVENIENT feature in the next version if it's not too difficult to implement.

Imported the german lang-pack, why do I get "entrez voutre chat" in the textfield before entering any text the first time ?

[zelnik]

Hum it's odd.

Yes I just get those in the error console, but if think it's a VBSEO issue with that as it mentions forum/plaza and there is not a directory called plaza but we have a section called the plaza on the forum.

But we get this error when you're watching the whois online when someone posts a message :

Thank you for your support, it's a pleasure for me to build up this chatbox.

I am however a bit unhappy that my chatbox is now relegated at the second place here :( But that how life goes !

Anyway I know have decided to take less time on vBulletin due to my daywork, the company I own with 2 friends and my personnal life. I will only continue developping the chatbox which is the product that has brought me the biggest fun time during development :D And you guys through your donations and encouraging posts have kept me on the road to bring this product at the level it currently is and I thank you for that.

It's was a philosophic post made by me lol

[Fireproof]

That sounds reasonable, VBDev. I'm low on funds right now, so donation will have to come later. But I did nominate you for MOTM, for what it's worth. :)

Keep up the great work! :)

I don't ask for donations ;)

It's up to eveyrone he he.

You should perhaps empty your browser cache yes.

[reitube]

Yes but in that case, how would the chat looks like ??

The chat would be used as a little shoutbox (or greeting box whatsoever).
I give an example as attachment.

First line: Username (the X means Mods can delete this item)
second line: Date and time
following lines: Message itself

I see what you mean but that option would affect the chatbox display on all pages. Which is not very beautiful on the forumhome page for example.

[Angel-Wings]

Installed :)

Just - I've reworked some JS / IF conditions like:


<if condition="!empty($autocompletion_js)">
function mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete()
{
$("#mgc_cb_evo_input").autocomplete([$autocompletion_js]);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete();
}
);</if>


Before the "IF" condition was inside the function and so created an empty JS function used for nothing.
Also about the Collapse / Show mode:


<span id="mgc_cb_evo_title_opened"
<if condition="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_mgc_cb_evo] == ''">
<else />
style="display: none;"
</if>
>
....
<span id="mgc_cb_evo_title_closed"
<if condition="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_mgc_cb_evo] == ''">
style="display: none;"
</if>
>


Got a CSS warning - specially about the first one - because the IF condition produced an empty:


style='display: ';


This fixes this :)

The new version is very light on the server load, far more than it used to be.

Yes it's possible through the use of a command or a periodic cron task or directly from the archives with a inline moderation removal tool.

Hi!

I downloaded it last night around midnight CST if that helps.

[gtcompscientist]

I figured it out.....

MOD_SECURITY on linux boxes disables this plugin from working...

edit/create .htaccess

Add

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Place this in the root of the forum. Done. ;)

Ranger - Thanks for this... after the upgrade lots of users were complaining of problems, and this fixed it straight-away.

[VBDev]

Hi!

I downloaded it last night around midnight CST if that helps.

Hum then it should be ok.

Can you check your user table in the database to check if the mgc_cb_evo_banned and mgc_cb_evo_ignored field exists ?

[txspaderz]

They do not exist... All I have is mgc_cb_evo_params and mgc_cb_evo_channel_activities

[VBDev]

Hum. Try uninstalling the product and installing it back again to see if afterwards they appear.

I have solved tht problem.Chat box is showing up but now when i type something in chatbox and press ok i cnt see it

I have the same problem

Regarding the mysql-error with the ban-command: Creating the missing column 'mgc_cb_evo_banned' in your user table will fix this error :)

Is there a way to hide the "general" chat entirely, or from a specific user group? I'd like to give a specific user group access to a specific channel only. In other words, I wouldn't want that user group to see the "general" chat at all.

There could be another channel set up for all users to see, so the "general" chat could be technically hidden from everyone if it were possible to assign a default channel per user group.

[Gamempire]

the chat doesn't work anymore...it say always "Loading..."
if i write something, it refresh the table on mysql but it doesn't display nothing, and it say always "Loading..."

what can i do?

My advice is downgrade to 0.5.0. It's less buggy. I had this problem and just downgraded.

[yeku]

Problem with the letter ñ and accents...

What can I do?

thanks

[NeutralizeR]

I'm not sure if it's discussed before but banned user can still send messages untill he refreshes the page.

[lord eriol]

great chat.... a lot of useful options, thanks

however, i tried on vb 3.7.2 and some stuff seem doesn't function:
- if I disable users to use BBcode, and assign default text color to groups (from usergroup permissions), inside chatbox the bbcode aren't translated, in other words I see date/time - user [ color = X] message [ /color ].
to obtain colored text I MUST abilitate users to use BBcode, but if you set this, ALL options of text formatting are available to users (font, size, etc.)
In my forum I want that users can choose ONLY color (and if possible, in a easy way... user cp/option is not much friendly), no other text formatting options... hoping for a fix soon here (or other way to solve)

- some commands seems doesn't function
I have abilitated all commands from admin cp, and set user permissions (admin can use all)
but in chat box some command doesn't function properly
/ me command don't cause any output on chat
/pm username message, say that user not exist (i cheched double spelling and case)

not tried others commands for now
edit: /del all is ok
/ me is ok now! But i must abilitate this command for Registered Users too to use it... if i abilitate admin ONLY, admin cant'use it! Why?
/pm don't function, get ever same error "l'utiliseteur no existe pas" (admin and registered user are abilitated to use it)

- Order of smilies
if I set order of smilies "as from admin panel order" i get random order instead...
only if I set NO on "same admin panel order", i get first X smilies ORDERED as is in admin panel (X is the numbers of smilies that show directly on chatbox clicking on smilie button), but clicking on "more"... others smilies seems random (not same order as admin panel order anyway)

- refreshing time
i just don't understand what is that 30 sec defaut value for refreshing... what that mean? (i set 10 seconds here, but i'm worried about server load)

In other words, I wouldn't want that user group to see the "general" chat at all.Since/if it doesn't seem to be possible to hide the general chat, it would be an excellent new feature! That way it would be possible to assign channel per user group (and lock them in to the assigned channel).

Yes but the table is supposed to be created upon product install !

Anyone else having the problem of ban feature not working due to sql error ?

Unless you modify the code no there isn't.

i have a problem with chatbox,i have try install all chatbox mod from vb.org but no one have the greek language,what is the problem

This is because no greek speaker has translated the chatbox mod in greek.

You have given the permissions in the command manager ?

Currently no, it's not possible without code modification. I will work on it only if more than one user are interested :)

the chat doesn't work anymore...it say always "Loading..."

what can i do?

When did it stop working ? After upgrade ?

Have you tried refreshing your browser cache ?

My advice is downgrade to 0.5.0. It's less buggy. I had this problem and just downgraded.

Excuse me buddy but it's not very constructive to act that way !

Downgrading stop your problems perhaps but doesn't help finding out what's wrong in the current version.

Problem with the letter ? and accents...

What can I do?

thanks

Do you have the same problems in the other ajax features of vBulletin ? (perhaps you haven't ajax activated in the other part of your forum like quick edit or quick reply ?)

I'm not sure if it's discussed before but banned user can still send messages untill he refreshes the page.

Hum really ? I'll add this to the bug list then thank you for reporting it.

You can activate only the color selection to users.

You have to activate the bbcode for user formatting and then there is another option with checkboxes to select which formatting options they have.


- some commands seems doesn't function
I have abilitated all commands from admin cp, and set user permissions (admin can use all)
but in chat box some command doesn't function properly
/ me command don't cause any output on chat

/pm don't function, get ever same error "l'utiliseteur no existe pas" (admin and registered user are abilitated to use it)


You only set admin to be able to use the me command and that doesn't work ? I did tested like that when developping the chatbox and I remember it was working.

Is admin the main usergroup for you ?

For the pm command, I think you have misused it, check the syntax in the chatbox help or use directly the PM sending feature in the little menu near each chat.


- Order of smilies
if I set order of smilies "as from admin panel order" i get random order instead...
only if I set NO on "same admin panel order", i get first X smilies ORDERED as is in admin panel (X is the numbers of smilies that show directly on chatbox clicking on smilie button), but clicking on "more"... others smilies seems random (not same order as admin panel order anyway)


I haven't understand the first part of your sentence.

The more windows doesn't take into account the option of the acp. Really should ?


- refreshing time
i just don't understand what is that 30 sec defaut value for refreshing... what that mean? (i set 10 seconds here, but i'm worried about server load)

Don't worry with 10 seconds your server load won't explode with the last version of the chatbox :)

Or read and find out it's a simple fix. ;)

[VBDev]

There is no code in the chatbox to do such thing with the chatbox input.

Style issue perhaps ? Have you tested on another style of your website (ie : default style) ?

Just curious but about how far out till the next release?

Next release will certainly be for the end of the month. I am currenlty quite busy on other running projects (which doesn't relate to vBulletin).

Hello. Installed this mod months ago and excelent, but now it gives me this error when trying to view the chats:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 311296 bytes) in /home/pokeplan/public_html/forum/includes/class_bbcode.php(158) : eval()'d code on line 333

[Inferno Dragon]

I have removed the old version and then installed this new version i-e 1.0, everything is working fine except the "Alternate background color" option. The problem which I am facing is that the alternative background color of the rows is not appearing during the chat, however when I refresh the whole page then it appears fine.

I tried it in both FF 3 and IE 7, but the same getting the same problem/glitch.

PS: I am using vbulletin 3.7.3 PL 1

Edit: One more problem, the chatbox is not coming out from the inactivity mode even after hitting the refresh button many times. (working on page reload)

[MCAlexandre]

Hello. Installed this mod months ago and excelent, but now it gives me this error when trying to view the chats:


Thanks. :D

And by the way, how can I just *remove* the rows' background color? I just don't want it to have background color, as the chat itself has one. ;)

[Kaycee123]

Downgrading stop your problems perhaps but doesn't help finding out what's wrong in the current version.





I ended up doing this too - our users were getting mad about not being able to see the chatbox, not being able to get past the loading screen, things like that. To keep peace I ended up downgrading it. I went back to version 0.4.0 which was the last version that was working well for us. I have made a few posts on this thread, and tried all the suggestions I've found but it still wasn't working.

The problems are very intermittent, and just seem to affect some people. I've asked them to clear their caches and that has helped for some people but not all. Some can see it with IE and not Firefox, others can see it with Firefox and not IE. Others the screen sticks on loading and won't go any further. One member could make 3 chats, then it would freeze up every time. Sometimes chats would come up as duplicates, then mysteriously disappear. Very strange intermittent problems! It seems to be working much better back on 0.4.0

Hey, do you mind doing a test like later, or tomorrow? I've fixed so many sites with the loading issue. Your issues are not typical of any others here especially the duplicate chats. Either an uninstall wasn't done right, or you have ghosted tables in sql.

Update: I've now seen the double posts on a forum. This is on a fresh forum almost. I'll look into it on my end as well.

[Kaycee123]

I don't mind letting you have access to our site if you want to have a look. I'd definitely appreciate any help!!

[Ranger187]

Sweet. Just setup something with a decent password. I'm currently working on importing a site with 65K+ users and got another hour or less left. If you want, hit me up on AIM/Yahoo (info is in my profile) if that's easier. And you're a doc huh? My pops is a GP.

[Kaycee123]

Yeah, I'm a GP too - here in Edmonton - that is when I'm not trying to keep my website running loll:rolleyes:

I'll send you a PM

[Ranger187]

Perfect timing!

I'll look now.

And I can't imagine being a GP + running a site. I know how hectic my pops life is. On my way now!

[Kaycee123]

Yeah, its pretty hard, but we muddle through loll :D I really enjoy the website though - its my baby, and totally different from medicine, so its great

[Ranger187]

Check your pm. ;)

I already found a few issues. But I don't have the access to fix.

[Ranger187]

Ok. I was right. It's mod security. I can fix this in 5 minutes and have you on 1.0.0 ;) I just need ftp axs.

Hey buddy, I found the issue. Even though it's in spanish ;)

First off, you are running the old old old version. I'm going to uninstall 1.5 and move you to 1.0.0.

1.5 was for VBulletin 3.6x and it's not the EVO version like the one here.

Even though the new one is a lower number, it's the newer product, so it's ok.

And I was right. It's mod security issue. Fixing. Gimme 5 minutes and you'll see it all. ;)

[Ranger187]

1. I uninstalled your non working older chat version. Including removing all the old files.
2. I installed newest chat version. This included adding all the files to your different styles
3. I configured it and got it working. You can post standard characters.

Therefore I did. You are talknig about non standard characters. Simply import the Spanish language. But since I wasted 40 minutes doing all that because you don't have a clue what you are doing, and you uninstalled the chat when you knew I was installing it, and I had to redo all my work over, you can figure the rest out yourself. Since you want to be ignorant.

Negative. Not if you read the instructions. I've done this on about 200 forums.

It's really simple. Uninstall commands, Delete the files, uninstall plugin.

[Angel-Wings]

dude im getting problems too uninstalling this mod...it gives errors even if u follow instructions

Which errors ?

It works like given in the Install file:

Deactivate the Addon
Uninstall it
Delete the files

Then you can delete the Phrases too if you wish. If you get SQL Errors, you can delete the 4 mgc_evo_... tables:

mgc_cb_evo_channel
mgc_cb_evo_chat
mgc_cb_evo_command
mgc_cb_evo_session

Hey guys!

I know this is not the question a developer would like to hear but is there an ETA on when the new version is going to be released? The reason why I am asking this is because of this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1605067&postcount=2347). My members are going to crazy because of it... it is a really annoying bug lol.

Sorry for asking this question but for me, it is really important to know coz at the moment, I am thinking of disabling the entire mod.

Thank you in advance!

[Ranger187]

That's a server issue. Unless it's marked in the known issue.

Unless it's that medium issue where chat's don't get removed during inactivity.

And I'm pretty sure when he's done, it will come out. He'll say the same I did. ;) Quality or crap. Crap = rush.

[BozzaJos]

It's an known issue. Dev replied to it saying so and indeed, I think it's that medium issue hehe. Lets hope the problem is getting fixed soon. Thanks for the quick reply Power Ranger! :D

[Ranger187]

Haha. Powa Ranga. LOL.

It's gotta be on the linux boxes. Oddly I host both Windows and Linux and neither have had this issue. But for sql errors, your best bet is to find the version you had prior, and the current. REMOVE all mgc files. uninstall. If error doesn't go away, reinstall, uninstall (yeah, I know WTF! but doing this recreates the tables you are missing) and then start over. If you want help with this just ask.

[Mrdby]

uninstall
