"Save the collapsed stae of the BBCODE and smilies lines" does not seem to work. BBcode line and smilies line expands on every page load, if you use ie7. It is working correctly in ff3.

The default setting of that option (=no) is working correctly on both browsers.

Can anyone confirm this bug?

ehm the intern channel isnt working propper after the update i have to click collapse mode and back to view it any ideas ? tryed to renew the channel without result

rest is working fine as i could see nice update thanks :up:

Now that the new version of the chatbox is out I was wondering if all of you would you be interested in the creation of a forum for the chatbox ? An external one.

That would be fantastic!

[jediteknoman]

I'm wondering why am I getting whenever I type in the command /me

I get /me and then whenever users hit enter they get "votre_message" after their username.

Is there a way to get around that with whenever the user types /me it would just popup their username only?

[SnapOff Racing]

Is there any way to salvage my archives? I usually backup my mgc_cb_evo_chat table and then re-import it back after I upgrade but for some reason it's not allowing me to do so in the 1.1.0 version. Is there something that's now changed within that table that's not allowing this?

[g0dfather1984]

Wonderful job you have done with this product. Everytime I upgrade, I love it more.

Keep up the great work!

I installed it, but for some particular reason is in another language, how do I fix this?

Nvm, I found out. Thanks for the incredible mod!

Ok indeed there is a bug.

Open mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php and search for :
$getusers = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT DISTINCT u.username,u.displaygroupid,u.userid,s.userid AS suserid,u.usergroupid
(u.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible

LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS s ON (cbs.userid=s.userid)
WHERE cbs.dateline>='$dateline' AND cbs.userid!=0
");

In this query after u.usergroupid, just add a coma.

where usercp setting don't see

In "Your options"

thanks how can i get it to show whos in the chatbox

It's also an option...

Thanks for the update!

I've finally turned on the ignore feature on but there seems no option to make it not ignore moderator/admin groups..

Is there an option for this that I'm missing?

There ain't such possibilities. But I could do as for the ban command, would like that ?

Hum really ? I haven't tested it in ie7 I must admit as I don't own a PC but a Mac as I already said in this thread.

Anyone else experiencing the issue ?

It's because you have activated the autocompletion in the chatbox, it's helping users out to see what is the correct syntax of the command.

By the way I think you haven't installed the english language :)

If you're upgrading from an older version (prior to 1.0.0), yes there have been many changes and you can't import them.

I think I should work on a save/restore feature in the chatbox someday.

I got this error when I didn't UNINSTALL FIRST. If you try to just overwrite everything it doesn't seem to work. You have to UNINSTALL the old version FIRST and then do a FRESH INSTALL of the new version.

It's normal if you are upgrading for a version prior to 1.0.0, you have to uninstall. It's stated in the readme file instructions.

That would be fantastic!

Not a lot of enthusiasm in other people minds ;)

[gpc10347]

VBDEV,

its working now in the arcade.. thank you...

your work is impressive..

I seem to have lost the chat in my arcade but I' not sure when. I checked the placement of the variable in the ARCADE page, the presence in the other pages option of the chat config and finally, the function page but it's still not appearing...

Anyone got any additional information for what might be missing?

[Ranger187]

Did you fix the slap? It was still in french.

...... I didn't install the final since the beta yet, so I wouldn't know.

[gpc10347]

Would the fact that I need to preface the link to member.php with $vboptions[bburl]/ in the chatbit_menu for it to link correctly from CMPS mean anything is wrong in my settings?

I've checked and do have both mgc_cb_evo and mgc_cb_evo_var in Portal Output Global Variables.

[Ranger187]

That's a cpms setting.

[gpc10347]

That's a cpms setting.


That's what I thought too. All is well but the mini avatars aren't appearing within CMPS but they are once I get to the /forums..

I'll keep breakin' stuff till I find it!

[Ranger187]

Nope, not fixed yet. ;)

So in the Product XML I found "<defaultvalue>{1} gifle avec violence {2}</defaultvalue>"

English that would be "slaps violently" ?

Oh ! Can you go in your database and tell me if in the customavatar table you have an "height_tumb" field ?

[gpc10347]

Have you uninstalled the chatbox since then ? Coz perhaps the settings is not set anymore .

I modified mine so regardless of what the user does - they slap me :eek:

In other news, I've triped checked the settings in all the areas affecting the arcade and I just can't seem to locate my error...

Oh - and I added $vboptions[bburl]/$avatarurl to the spots in the chatbit and archive chatbit where $avatarurl was and the avatars are working great in CMPS now..

Not sure why CMPS is ignoring the specification for mgc_cb_evo & mgc_cb_evo_var but I wonder if it's not a clue as to why my arcade chat isn't appearing anymore..

None of them are english as these are options and vB doesn't offer support for multilingual options default.

But you just have to change them to your perfect needs.

Jiiz i'll have to modify the code in the next version so that it manage vBulletin versions :(

What you can do is remove that part of the query temporarly

[gpc10347]

Which means ?

I dunno - perhaps it means I like to be slapped? :D



There used to be a little how to in the chatbox readme, have you checked that?

Yes, however - doing my best to follow along - it's still not appearing for me. I likely missed something somewhere but I had it working on an earlier version and I'm thinking it was a vBulletin update that might have altered whatever I did to make it work before...



Ah yes that's a good idea !

I'm not sure it's the best idea though as it should probably work without that modification... but cmps hates me.


What does CMPS ignore ? It seems to ignore the idea of inserting the path as it does for other options thereby eliminating the need for the bburl option.

[adnedarn]

ah- so it's because I'm on a older version huh? :cry: Can you give more detail on removing that query?

The save bbcode and smilies status problem might be an individual problem. It only acts this way on the pc I mainly use. Another pc does not have any problems with it on IE7.

Funny is that the behaviour now changed after I have deleted all temp data in my browser. It won' t expand those lines any more, but collapses them (save status turned on of course).

Anyways, this setting is not very important for me. I can live with collapsing those lines on page load.


What bothers me much more, is that I cannot figure out how to adjust the chatbox to vbadvanced portal' s side columns. I hope the other user tells us how he got rid of the horizontal scrollbar on IE7.

And how do you change the display of the bbcode line? It does not line break in IE7 and therefore stretches the whole portal.


Here is another issue. Does anyone experience the following problem? If you delete a chat and the chatbox is open in another browser and get refreshed, that browser will not update the chatbox correctly. It will replace the deleted message with an older message. I have also deleted older messages through the archive page, then I was presented 3 old message of another user on top of the message list.

I hope you understand what I mean. To experience it, you basically open two browsers, have more total messages than the maximum displayed amount in your chatbox, delete a message in one browser and see what happens in the other browser after ajax refresh.


did any one test the ? and the % to see if it works im still having probs with them if i type them in and hit enter they will disapear and then i cant type anything else till i refresh the forum

I would be interested in knowing if this issue is also experienced by others.


All special characters on my keyboard display fine. Since I do not have ? on my keyboard, I could only test it with copy and paste and it displayed correctly, too.

Here are the characters I tested: !"?$%&/()=?`?^?@?~?\}][{|???ߣ


Now that the new version of the chatbox is out I was wondering if all of you would you be interested in the creation of a forum for the chatbox ? An external one.

I don' t think it is a good idea to create an external forum for the chatbox. You would need to keep an eye on both forums (this topic and the external forum) and you might have to deal with cross posting. If you leave the whole discussion here, there are better chances that frequently asked questions can be found in this topic and that users who have installed the chatbox assist in supporting the mod.

Got everything to work, thanks! It's even better and faster than the previous versions which is very awesome! Though, I do have a small request if possible. Is it possible you can add specific announcements in different channels?

Oh, and if possible. Can you create the channel images for black themes as well?

That's normal and is supposed to do so until there is a full refresh unfortunately. This is due to the feature I implemented to make the chatbox less ressource hungry.

I'll add this to the todo list and see what I can do.

You are globally right. My idea was in order to build up a place where users could also shares buttons set and so on.

And also because this thread is starting to become massive and really hard to follow for other users that don't come everydays.

Got everything to work, thanks! It's even better and faster than the previous versions which is very awesome! Though, I do have a small request if possible. Is it possible you can add specific announcements in different channels?


No currently it's not possible and I am not sure this feature would be very good. I will see if others ask for that.


Oh, and if possible. Can you create the channel images for black themes as well?

I unfortunately don't have the buttons psd anymore :( I lost them and the guys who made them is gone.

Perhaps someone could work more cool buttons, I will try to do some as soon as I have the time as I really would like to provide users with more buttons set.

I was wondering if someone could comment on server resources used with this mod. I'm running cyb chat currently and it's just chewing up tooooooo much bandwidth. :mad:

I need to look at other options....SOON.


Thanks!

My chatbox is normally less agressive on bandwidth as I have implemented an intelligent way of retrieving shouts.

Shouts are loaded on startup and then only new shouts are retrieved. There are no full reload upon each refresh.

[SnapOff Racing]

OK I dunno what the deal is but I have unintalled and reinstalled EVERYTHING like 4 times now and I keep getting the same error over and over everytime I type a message in the chatbox and hit enter, rather than display the chat it takes me to a new page and says this.

vBulletin Message

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

OK I see that this is only happening for my custom style but not the default style. So what could be the difference between the two and where should I start looking?

[Minor scrolling Bug]

=> Newest shouts at the bottom

1. When I switch from the "General Channel" to an other channel, the shoutbox does not scroll automatically to the bottom
2. When I delete a shout, the shoutbox does not scroll automatically to the bottom

Nice work VBDev. :) :)

[adnedarn]

To go with the above scrolling problem... also with newest shouts at bottom, if you delete a shout... after confirmation you come back to the bar scrolled up and have to scroll down back to the bottom.

Also, it seems the inactivity is inconsistent... I've walked away a few times and come back to it still active (set at 15 mins) but I've set it to 1 min and you do go inactive. So I've not figured out what the missing variable is making it happen sometimes and not others.

Hum that's a possibility indeed ! I am going to add this to the bug list.


2. When I delete a shout, the shoutbox does not scroll automatically to the bottom


That's normal, as soon as the chatbox is scrolled it doesn't automatically scroll to the bottom anymore unless you go to the bottom again.

Same answer as above.

What do you mean by administrator create channel ?

[adnedarn]

It did earlier... I just checked it at 15 (by 20 still no inactivity) and put it to 1 and after 5 still no... I asked everyone in the shout to hold on a few mins and see if it did to them, and no one got the message... After we came back... it was then going inactive at 1min- so I guess you have to type after changing the setting... but then it was doing it in 1 min intervals correctly.

I have this MOD installed on 3.8.0 Beta1 and everything seems to be working okay, but I can't figure out how to set up channels. I did set up a test channel, placing one of the channel images in the correct folder and naming it correctly (per instructions in AdMin CP). However, when I click the channel icon and enter some chat, nothing shows up. When I click on the main chat button, all of my chat on that channel doesn't show. I have to do a page refresh for it to reappear. I did search this MOD for help and read through several pages, but I couldn't find anything that specifically explains how to set up channels. Any help on doing this would be greatly appreciated.

The save bbcode and smilies status problem might be an individual problem. It only acts this way on the pc I mainly use. Another pc does not have any problems with it on IE7.

Funny is that the behaviour now changed after I have deleted all temp data in my browser. It won' t expand those lines any more, but collapses them (save status turned on of course).

I don't understand the second part of your message. What do you mean exactly ?


First I told you that bbcode lines and smilies lines expand on page load, if you set "Save the collapsed stae of the BBCODE and smilies lines" to yes. Then I noticed that another pc does not have the same problem. Therefore I have deleted my browser cache and closed the browser. Now with the same setting, the bbcode and smilies lines collapse on page load. So, it now acts the other way around. :confused:


I am going to create a new template for the next chatbox version, a small version which will fit in vbadvanced side columns.


That would be awesome and might even be less painful for you than helping me get it done. ;) I am afraid it won' t save you much time, but shall I sent you my templates? As I mentioned before, it has two problems:
1. horizontal scrollbar on IE7.
2. bbcode does not line break, so that it stretches the side column, if you uncollapse the bbcode line.

I don' t think it is a good idea to create an external forum for the chatbox. You would need to keep an eye on both forums (this topic and the external forum) and you might have to deal with cross posting.

It is probably not such a bad idea than I first thought. It is really getting harder to find the answers in this thread and it would be nice to get add-ons, buttons, etc at a central place.

In any case I am now updated to the 3.7.3 version of my style. I am not getting the security token error anymore but now when I type in a message in the chatbox and hit enter, nothing appears in the box. But when I click on the archives box the shouts are showing up. It's doing this in my default style as well. Any ideas? Thanks for the help thus far Andrew :up:

For some reason I don't see the options to configure to see the Shoutbox under the AdminCP > Usergroup and what usergroup it is. I'm logged on with Administrator rights as it, but I don't know why its not working correctly.

The thing was, it was working fine a couple days back when I uploaded all the files needed and did follow the instructions. Any ideas?

[gpc10347]

Fantastic new release. I've managed to get almost everything perfect except the old issue with a style interfering with the opacity mode change and the arcade placements isn't working for me at all (No big deal)

Here's tonights oddity: If I slap someone in my second channel, it appears in the default channel instead. Does this indicate something I need to revert or reupload?

You have to do a full page refresh once the inactive mode has been activated. Otherwise the javascript timeout doesn't start.

Hum I haven't tested the slap command in other channels but that should not be bugging as now channels are totally not linked with commands.

When you did slap the other user, was it using the menu or by entering the slap command manually ? If not manually can you try both method please ? I suspect a bug in the menu item.

[entertain]

What do you mean by administrator create channel ?Not in the "Gerneral Channel", but in all other, manually created channels.

Like I have already said: When you make a shout in one of these channels, you have to scroll a little bit down to see this shout.

[SnapOff Racing]

Damn that's what it was LOL wow I been pulling my damn hair out trying to get it going and it was the browser cache the whole time lol. My only concern is will all my members have to clear their cache as well before they will be able to see the chatbox?

Thanks again Andrew :up:

[adnedarn]

I figured that- but still doesn't explain why it isn't working at 15 mins. I left it up for 3+ hours on Firefox(signed in) and IE(not logged in) and both were still up when I got back.




What does that mean ?
See attachment- but others only see it once. It happened to at least one other person- it's happened to me twice.
Thanks,
Andrew

[Skyrider]

Any specific reason why the chatbox is automatically scrolled up whenever the page is being refreshed and or refresh/switch channels? As for the shouts showing duplicate, I had the exact same thing randomly. For some odd reasons my shouts were showing up multiple times.

[VBDev]

Not in the "Gerneral Channel", but in all other, manually created channels.

Like I have already said: When you make a shout in one of these channels, you have to scroll a little bit down to see this shout.

If it's what I am suspecting: when you enter the other channel, it does show the oldest at first and doesn't automatically scroll at the bottom. Am I understand it well ?

Thanks again Andrew :up:

It's because the javascript file of the chatbox was udpated. As javascript files are "cached" by the browser this causes errors with the new php files and templates. Normal isn't it ? ;)

I figured that- but still doesn't explain why it isn't working at 15 mins. I left it up for 3+ hours on Firefox(signed in) and IE(not logged in) and both were still up when I got back. 5

Perhaps 15 min is too much (exceeds the max value of the timeout function as its arguments are in milliseconds).

[Digital Jedi]

Howdy Dev, I see your still busy as ever.

I just upgraded to 1.1.0 from... hrm, I guess it was .3.0. (I know, I've been busy too.) I've done a fresh install removing the old chat first. Nothing typed goes into the chatbox. They are showing up in the archives, but the chat area is blank. Did I maybe skip a step somewhere? Thanks.

[Digital Jedi]

Hrm, this must be a formatting issue. They don't show in IE, but I just noticed that the chats show in FireFox, but their not in line: http://www.cogonline.net/forums/

[SnapOff Racing]

OK I figured out how to keep all your old chats from previous version. I experimented with versions 0.5.0 and 1.0.0 and was able to successfully save all my old chats so that they were in the archive's and in the chatbox when upgrading to the new 1.1.0

***BACKUP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS***

When upgrading from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0

DO NOT uninstall the old version first, instead simply copy and replace all the new files that are in the 1.1.0 zip file into your forum directory.
Then in the adminCP goto "Manage Products" then "Add/Import Product". Select the new 1.1.0 xml file, Set "Allow Overwrite" to "YES" and then click "Import".
That's IT! If you need to import your language then do so now. Also you may have to clear your browser cache before the chats will show up. But that's all I had to do when upgrading from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0

That's IT! If you need to import your language then do so now. Also you may have to clear your browser cache before the chats will show up. But that's all I had to do when upgrading from 0.5.0 to 1.1.0


If your using a version BELOW 0.5.0 you could still try using the same steps that I listed for upgrading from 0.5.0 to 1.1.0 They may work I'm not sure like I said I only tested 0.5.0, and 1.0.0

Anyone know how to change the EXPAND by default setting in the adminCP? Like when you first login to adminCP certain tabs are expanded by default. I noticed that was changed in this new version and I am just wondering where I can edit that at, what template or xml file etc. Thanks!

[Skyrider]

Scrolled up ? What do you mean ?
I've flipped the way the text are being shown. It goes from up to down, rather than down to up.

Meaning:
Old Chats <--
New Chats here <--

How ever, it seems when changing channels or refreshing the page. Your chat begins at at the top and or the middle of the whole chat box. It should be at the bottom, not top.

Which you mentioned here:
If it's what I am suspecting: when you enter the other channel, it does show the oldest at first and doesn't automatically scroll at the bottom. Am I understand it well ?
Exactly. That's the problem.

I have forced the chat box to collapsed mode as a temporary fix. Should there be chat dialogue showing in collapsed mode? If so, then I'll have to let members know that they will need to uncollapse the chat box in order to start chatting.

Ok then it's the bug I thought and already added to the to fix list.

Good call. Manually slapping someone in my secondary channel works well. Using the menu causes the slap to appear in the default... (for me)

As for the other issues, I'm sure someone out there has it functional in the arcade so I'm thinking it's something in my configuration and I just can't find it.

I think it's a problem of file rights. Perhaps the chatbox files have not the good access permissions for your webserver.

You should check that perhaps.

You have to delete all mgc files. That error is due to an undeleted xml file. There are some answers in this thread that tells what file is.

Can you fix the problem with the noparse tag? It doesn't seem to work in this shoutbox. It just completely ignores this standard vBulletin BB code flat out and formats the text or whatever anyway.

I could also not uninstall this properly. It leaves a template change in the Admincp and you get errors everytime you change user group permissions.

This is BETA software and I wouldnt recommend anybody install it unless you like messing things up.

Howdy Dev, I see your still busy as ever.

I just upgraded to 1.1.0 from... hrm, I guess it was .3.0. (I know, I've been busy too.) I've done a fresh install removing the old chat first. Nothing typed goes into the chatbox. They are showing up in the archives, but the chat area is blank. Did I maybe skip a step somewhere? Thanks.

I am having this same problem where the chatbox doesn't show new messages (Messages are only shown in the archives), is there a solution?

Also my admin options are in french. I have uploaded the lang file. ?

Is this beta software?

Nope, it's not beta at all. It's just the bugs you run into when you have hundreds, maybe thousands of different forums each with it's own peculiarities.

[Greenskull]

I just downloaded 1.1.0 and installed it. I set all the options, but it doesn't show up! Help please!

EDIT: ah i had to do usergroup permissions :P

[feverwilly]

I have 3.7.3 patch level one.

I deleted ALL files I uploaded
I uninstall the product

then under usergroup permissions the EVO chat box option is STILL there and I get an error when I try to save these options.

I then went a step further,

I deleted the tables associated with this program. STILL errors.

THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE BEWARE>>> I HAVE WASTED 3 hours of my time deleting and restoring forums.. INSTALLER BEWARE..

Why do you keep saying this is BETA software? Do you even know what that means? BETA means that a product is still in development. Just because one person, meaning you, can't get it to work, doesn't have anything to do with it being BETA or that other users have to beware. All forums are different, and any number of unrelated issues could be creating your problem. I'm sorry, but 3 hours is just not enough dev time to cry beware. Fixing bugs unique to your forum can take weeks, even months if you don't know what to look for.

Hey Andrew have you noticed that there is a problem when a user clicks on a buncha of smileys in one chat? Like if someone clicks on like 20 smileys in one chat (doesn't have to be 20 I am just using that as an example) after so many of them they will start to get broken up.. Check out the picture below...

Hello VBDev,

Can you fix the problem with the noparse tag? It doesn't seem to work in this shoutbox. It just completely ignores this standard vBulletin BB code flat out and formats the text or whatever anyway.

Which noparse tag ??

Yes please stop saying stupid things like that...

This software ain't beta, it's just you're not following the uninstall instructions correctly.

It's stated in the readme file (yeah I know reading is hard ...) that you have to remove all files and then uninstall the product.

If you're still getting that error it's because you haven't removed all files and especially the ones in the includes/xml directory, which is why you get that error each time you go in your usergroup permissions.

I have written a readme to help others and the instructions are pretty clear. It's up to you to read them correctly (which should be what you always do as a carefully admin).

Yes it shows the same thing in the chatbox as it does in the archives. I have tried this using my default style and it does the same thing as well. Have you tried clicking on a bunch of smileys and then submitting the chat and see what it does? It does it even if I click a buncha of different smileys or just the same ones. Everytime I do it, it always screws up the 8th smiley and then the 7th etc. Kinda weird. :confused:

Ah ! The fact is that the bbcode are separately set for the chatbox as I didn't want to have quote or so used in the chatbox.

I could if you really need it add the noparse bbcode to the list of bbcodes.

I tried a fresh install, and even went so far as to reinstall the old chatbox and more carefully watch my steps. Appears I didn't uninstall the commands properly. However, even after going back and putting everything I had back in, then uninstalling correctly, a fresh install still creates this vertical problem with the chats in FF and no chats in IE.

http://www.cogonline.net/forums/mgc_cb_evo.php?do=view_chatbox

This is a weird one, as I still have the same problem in a default skin. Tried turning my hacks off one at a time, but none seem to have any effect. I'm stumped at this point. Do you think maybe that improper uninstall, even though I went back and corrected it, just wrecked things for me?

very same problem, i deleted the menu drop down, and it worked in firefox, but not ie, but if i dont delete the drop down menu, it will be right aligned, and works perfect in IE

[VBDev]

Hum that's a very odd thing as few of you experiences that.

Do you guys have some specific mods on your forum ? (Perhaps one in common)

[pedroenf]

One "bug" i have experienced is when the inactive mode on load is active. I click in the refresh button and the security token error appears (in both IE and FF). Don't know if is only me or if it happens with some one else.

Not that I haven't likely broken it, but is there a particular plug-in area or global setting I can see to determine what is preventing $mgc_cb_evo_var from working in my arcade pages (I did the requisite modifications to the global parameters, the list of other pages and the insertion of $mgc_cb_evo_var ) and also the WhosOnline page (online)...?

I've even tried to add it to the FAQ page (added faq to List of the other forum pages as well as $mgc_cb_evo_var to the area under the navar in the template...

Where would one look first for signs of the cause?

Hello, I just installed this mod and it's great! I have a stupid question though regarding commands, none of mine seem to work. I've read through out this thread that the "command permissions" must be enabled, but where exactly do I do this? I've looked under "usergroup permissions" and under all five "MGC Chatbox Evo" sections found under "Vbulletin Options" and I cannot find where to allow permissions for the commands.

That's normal :) After upload of the files, you need a full browser refresh for the new menu items to be retrieved from xml files.

Hey VBDev, quick question if you don't mind:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=179137

This used to work in the previous versions in your chat box, but no longer. Any idea why?

Also a small suggestion. Is it possible when people post images in the chat box, it'll display as a very small image (like smaller than an avatar size or something) and you can click on it to view the whole image?

[AdmiralGeek]

I'm not sure what you mean by you deleted the drop down. Which drop down are you refering to? Mine doesn't work at all in IE (except for archives) and displays the chats horizontally in FF.
The drop down menu which gives you a quick option of sticking the chats. Do this, in the admin panel, select to have the background to "rotated colors" you will see that the drop down menu's width is and 70% of the total chatbox width. There is some kind of CSS conflict some where, but I cant find it.

Even if you apply custon CSS for the particular ID, it still has no effect. Uninstalled it and installed CYB chat box til there is a fix.

But it is more than likely a MOD comflict.

[AdmiralGeek]

very strange, is just went and reinstalled the chat box, and the problem is gone.

Align usernames and chats
Select YES if you want the usernames and the chats to be aligned (one column for each)
when this option was cset to yes, you could see that the date, chatbit menu, and chat had its own "colum" and the chatbit menu dropdown had a rough value of 70% of total width.

But now that the bug is gone,
Align usernames and chats

No unless you do it for the whole forum. Image tags are parsed by the general vBulletin parsing function.

I just realized that this product (v 1.1.0) causes my pages to fail XHTML validation (http://validator.w3.org/) with 60+ errors. So here are some steps to fix those errors:

<script></script>
For inline <script></script>, enclose the javascript codes between "<!--" and "//-->". This will make the validator to skip the javascript code.
Example:<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var test = confirm('Test?');
//-->
</script>
Note: error caused by template: mgc_cb_evo

onClick, onSubmit, onFocus etc
HTML attributes do not use camelCase. It should be "onclick", "onsubmit" and so on.
Note: error caused by template: mgc_cb_evo_editor

Ampersand (&) inside URLs
Instead of:<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/mgc_cb_evo.php?do=view_archives&page=1">Archives</a>
Make it:<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/mgc_cb_evo.php?do=view_archives&amp;page=1">Archives</a>
In PHP, calling the built-in function htmlspecialchars() is all you need
Note: error caused by template: mgc_cb_evo

Invalid attributes (element-specific)

<tr> does not support "width" attribute
<tr class="alt1" valign="middle" width="100%">
(template mgc_cb_evo)

Use { checked="checked" } instead of just { checked }. Use double-quote mark instead of single. Same with "selected" and "nowrap".
<td align="$stylevar[left]" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap">
(template mgc_cb_evo_editor)

Other typos (showing corrected text/code only)

functions_mgc_cb_evo.php (line 541)
$bbcodes .= '&nbsp;<input type="image" name="clear" class="inlineimg" src="' . $stylevar['imgdir_misc'] . '/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_clear.gif" value="' . $vbphrase['mgc_cb_evo_clear_bbcode'] . '" onclick="return remove_bbcodes();" />';

<script></script>
For inline <script></script>, enclose the javascript codes between "<!--" and "//-->". This will make the validator to skip the javascript code.
Example:<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var test = confirm('Test?');
//-->
</script>Note: error caused by template: mgc_cb_evo

onClick, onSubmit, onFocus etc
HTML attributes do not use camelCase. It should be "onclick", "onsubmit" and so on.
Note: error caused by template: mgc_cb_evo_editor

Ampersand (&) inside URLs
Instead of:<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/mgc_cb_evo.php?do=view_archives&page=1">Archives</a>Make it:<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/mgc_cb_evo.php?do=view_archives&amp;page=1">Archives</a>In PHP, calling the built-in function htmlspecialchars() is all you need
Note: error caused by template: mgc_cb_evo

Invalid attributes (element-specific)

<tr> does not support "width" attribute
<tr class="alt1" valign="middle" width="100%">(template mgc_cb_evo)

Use { checked="checked" } instead of just { checked }. Use double-quote mark instead of single. Same with "selected" and "nowrap".
<td align="$stylevar[left]" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap">(template mgc_cb_evo_editor)

Other typos (showing corrected text/code only)

functions_mgc_cb_evo.php (line 541)
$bbcodes .= '&nbsp;<input type="image" name="clear" class="inlineimg" src="' . $stylevar['imgdir_misc'] . '/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_clear.gif" value="' . $vbphrase['mgc_cb_evo_clear_bbcode'] . '" onclick="return remove_bbcodes();" />';
I hope it'll be fixed in the next version ...

Yes I know I have to do the xhtml changes since a long time...

But I am lazy boy lol

I'll try to manage that in the upcoming version.

Some others reported that double post issue.

The problem is that I haven't ever encountered that so it's a bit hard to find out what could be wrong.

Does the posts display doubled in the archives as well ?

Did you experienced that yourself ?


I can vouch for this as well. It never did this in the older version's but it's certainly doing it in the newer version. Sometimes when you type in a chat and hit enter or submit whatever, it will show the chat twice. Then if you hit refresh it disappears, and no it does not show twice in the archives.

[VBDev]

Do you encounter this problem always ?

In all browsers type ?

[SnapOff Racing]

I'm not sure I don't use anything else except FireFox. I will make an effort to try and use Internet Explorer and see if the same thing happens while using IE as well. But I am only doing this for the sake of the Chatbox cause I HATE using IE lol :D

[carlos2000]

We have a problem with IE and the chatbox. Our users with IE 6 or IE7 can't see the posts in the shoutbox. They have to use the archive if they want to know what's written within the box.

Our Firefox users have the following problem:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/10/11.jpg

The text appears in one line but it should look like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/10/12.jpg

Any suggestions/ideas?

[NeutralizeR]

Do you encounter this problem always ?

Same here... I think it's directly related to Ajax and affects the sender himself only (browser-client side).

I have IE7 and it's rare but the double post does happen for me from time to time. I've noticed my users talking about it as well (Most are versions of IE although I believe the latest occurance was to a user with FF..

Hum, that's strange. I think I'll have to try to debug that with the computer of my gf...

As is I don't see what could cause that but I'll try to find out.

[carlos2000]

Do you have modified chatbox templates ?


How can I fidn out if they are modified? I didn't modify them by myself.

Take a look at the screenshots. The only modified template seems to be the one for the vBCMS portal site.

[carlos2000]

We changed this one as it was described in the introduction for the vBCMS portal installation.

[safakuygur]

probleme :(

the pictures

[VBDev]

Could you guys tell me which options you have changed for the chatbox display ?

Especially for the editor, shouts position and shouts display (a screenshot of all your options could help me find the option which is making this bugging).

[carlos2000]

FYI: We use vBulletin 3.7.2, vBCMS 1.3.0

OK, here are the settings:

[carlos2000]

and the next ones:

[carlos2000]

and here's the rest:

I just took a look at the templates and there are no template modifications any more.

Hope, you can find the error.

[carlos2000]

Just saw your knows bugs list:


[Medium] Under IE, some users are reporting shouts to be displayed one after another without linebreak. Cause currently under search.


Firefox causes this error, with IE our users can't see NO post in the shoutbox. They have to click on "Archives" to see the posts.

[carlos2000]

If it's important for you here's a list of all add-ons we iinstalled:

[VBDev]

One question : have you tried to replace the false <else> by <else /> in the mgc_cb_evo template ?

[carlos2000]

Ahm, no, not yet. Where do I have to replace it?

[pedroenf]

Look for the else word. The one <else> replace by <else />
And also look for the <span> tags, there is one that it is not closed: </span>. Here:

&nbsp;<span>[<a href="$vboptions/mgc_cb_evo.php?$session[sessionurl]do=view_archives&page=1">$vbphrase[mgc_cb_evo_archives]</a>][B]</span>

The </span> is missing in the template.

[carlos2000]

OK, just replaced the <else> with <else /> but the problem is the samed. The chatbox with IE look like this

[pedroenf]

Did you try to reduce the % of the chatbox? Maybe you have to do it since it is integrated in a portal page.

[carlos2000]

Did you try to reduce the % of the chatbox? Maybe you have to do it since it is integrated in a portal page.

Just tried it without success. Still the same problem.

[pedroenf]

And the </span> tag? Did you correct that? And the changes in this post here. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1652250&postcount=2912)
Did you chnge that too?

[carlos2000]

All the changes are made without success.

[pedroenf]

Well, sorry for no help. Maybe VBDev can help you further.

[Gn_Snake]

the same problem. nothing post????:confused:

[lord eriol]

updated from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 few days ago... and have encountered some problems

1) with a specific skin, if i try to write something in chatbox i get this error:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

this happen only with one specific skin, not with the default skin, and not with another skin
that i have (this faulty skin is compatilble with vb 3.7 obviously, and was ok with previous version 1.0.0 of chatbox)

2) the name of user that post in chatbox, is not aligned with the first row of his text...
but is centered verticalliy with text (ex. if user XYZ write 3 rows of text, his name is aligned with central row, not wih first row), and this is not nice to see, i prefer as was on 1.0.0 (aligned with first row)

3) when i click on "user online" icon, the chatbox expand vertically... but the list of users online is ever empty! Furthermore when click that icon, the chatbox post disappear, and if i click again on same icon, the chatbox don't collapse as i expected, the only way to report
chatbox at normal state, is to refresh browser.

these above are the new problems.... but i have other probs from previous version 1.0.0, that i have alredy reported here (much posts ago), and these problems are still there:

A) no matter how i set order of smilies in mgc evo panel, the smilies are ever in a random-like order... or maybe is in a order that i don't recognize, but not the same order of post editor. I have a forum with near 200 smilies, and this is a big problem for me.

B) The PM command don't function! If i use
/pm uname "username" pmtext or
/pm uid "userid" pmtext

(ex. /pm uname Lord Eriol test)

i get the message:
Erreur : L'utilisateur n'existe pas
but this is false, the user is there in the chatbox instead!
However, if i click on triangle on the left of nickname in the chatbox, i can send PM message correctly

C) the option to limit posting in chatbox only to user that has posted N messages on forum in the last 24h don't function correctly. I set this option only for registered users group, not for MOD e ADMIN, but the limit is instead applied to every usergroup! No matter if MOD or not.

D) the double post problem as already reported from others. Sometime, seem that the text are posted two time, but other user dont see it twice, only the author see it twice.


....about positive difference with 1.0.0, i noticed that the BAN command function now! :)

I think this chatbox is a great chat and a great mod, im grateful to vbdev for it, but i hope all these bugs can be fixed soon

But I need particularly a fix or hint to solve the skin-related problem (the 1st) , please.
If there is not solution now for that problem.... then please tell me how i can reinstall the previous version 1.0.0
Thanks

[Skyrider]

Curious, when you remove text / messages. Does it gets logged as well? Would be nice to see when you remove chats, it gets saved in "deleted messages archives" or within the logs.

[VBDev]

All the changes are made without success.

While thinking at your problem I was wondering if you had the problem on all pages in which the chatbox is ?

Also, just after the install, with no specific changes in the chatbox options except the usergroup permissions, were you encountering the same behaviour ? Can you please test ?

the same problem. nothing post????:confused:

Fresh install or upgrade ?

If upgrade, from which version ?


1) with a specific skin, if i try to write something in chatbox i get this error:

this happen only with one specific skin, not with the default skin, and not with another skin
that i have (this faulty skin is compatilble with vb 3.7 obviously, and was ok with previous version 1.0.0 of chatbox)


Hum the javascript code has remained unchanged. I hope you haven't applied the javascript modificatin for SECURITYTOKEN as you are running 3.7 ?


2) the name of user that post in chatbox, is not aligned with the first row of his text...
but is centered verticalliy with text (ex. if user XYZ write 3 rows of text, his name is aligned with central row, not wih first row), and this is not nice to see, i prefer as was on 1.0.0 (aligned with first row)


Oh seems like it's a center = middle which shall not be applied to that column. Let's add it to the bug list.


3) when i click on "user online" icon, the chatbox expand vertically... but the list of users online is ever empty! Furthermore when click that icon, the chatbox post disappear, and if i click again on same icon, the chatbox don't collapse as i expected, the only way to report
chatbox at normal state, is to refresh browser.

This is because you don't use the right syntax.

For username : /pm uname "Lord Eriol" test or /pm uid userid test (without "" for the uid).

Isn't it an usergroup permission ? Are you sure of this bug ?


D) the double post problem as already reported from others. Sometime, seem that the text are posted two time, but other user dont see it twice, only the author see it twice.


Do all users who posts experiences that bug ? Only with IE but not Firefox right ?

I think I did make it so it's logged.

Upgrade from 0.40 version

Have you done the uninstall of the version as stated in the readme file ?

Version prior to 1.0.0 need uninstall for the update process.

Please help.

I uninstalled this as yet if i go into Usergroup permissions I still see MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions.

As said many times in that thread, you haven't followed uninstall instructions correctly.

Go remove the xml files in the includes/xml directory that should do the trick.

now what I must make?

thanx

This mod is compatible with 3.6.8

You can download latest Version (1.1.0) as it is most currrent.

You can find installing instructions in "readme.txt" file included in the pack.

Yes, same problem with default style.

The chatbox is running well for me in all browsers when using vBulletin default style.

You can try disabling temporarly TMS to see if there is an issue between both.

Yes it's a possibility. I should apply a fix for the mod security thing. I'll need your help to test if it works once done.

is there any server load with this version ??

Since 1.0.0, server load was drastically minimized.

thanks vbdev for updating

Can you give me test account with admin account and ftp (by pm) so that I can have a look around.

I get the double posting as well any fix yet?

The fact is I don't encounter that issue and don't know what could be causing that...

Unless someone try to disable some options and then find out which one is causing the issue I won't be able to help a lot :/

I'll try to find out in the code but without experiencing it, it's a bit hard.

Today I installed the chatbox on a vB 3.8 beta test forum with standard style and everything worked fine with ie and firefox. I installed vbcms portal and included the chatbox on the portal site and everything worked perfect.

I uninstalled the chatbox in our "real" forum, deleted all the files from the server and deleted all templates and installed the chatbox. But still the same problem. IE users can't see the shouts in the shoutbox. May there be a problem with the style?

[Jasmin]

VBDev,

The users on my site really want a chat function, and I really want a transcript function to make sure good stuff doesn't slip away into the ethers of obscurity. I really don't want to add chat until there's a way to do that.

Just something that could drop an entire chat, or maybe an hourly or daily snapshot of history... something like that... into a chat transcript forum. That'd be dandy.

Title could of the transcript post be based on the date, whatever. Nothing too fancy needed. Just something functional. That way, if anything amazing comes up, there's a record, and it'll come up in the search.

If you can add this, I'll donate at least $100 to the project by paypal. More if you find this complex in any way.

PM me your paypal addy if this is do-able and okay by you.

Thanks kindly :) :)
Jas

[Jasmin]

Oh, is the "chat archive" the chat transcript? i.e., does it already basically post transcripts?

If so, and it's searchable w/the rest of the forum posts, I guess you got that $100 donation coming to you already. :)

I'll have to install this and see. (or maybe someone here can confirm)

Hum the javascript code has remained unchanged. I hope you haven't applied the javascript modificatin for SECURITYTOKEN as you are running 3.7 ?

no, no javascript modification applied, I installed directly the 1.0.0 version (fresh install) on
vb 3.7.2 and then i not needed javascript mod
Anyway, i repeat, the 1.0.0 version was running fine with that skin, the "security" problem is apparead only after upgrading to new version


Oh seems like it's a center = middle which shall not be applied to that column. Let's add it to the bug list.

ok, thanks



Known bug see the bug list, corrected in the next version :)

thanks



There is an option to get smilies in the vBulletin posts order since you requested it.

where is this option? i just see only 2 options to set:

-Retrieval of smilies in the admincp set order (yes/no)
-Random retrieval of the smilies (yes/no)

i tried all combination of this setting, and i get ever a random-like order of smilies, and this for the few smiles visible inside chatbox but for box showing all smilies too (th box that opens when you click on "...more")
Only setting "no" to both I obtained a max 18 smilies inside the chatbox that respect the admin panel order, yes just 18, if i set a greater number (from "Number of listed smilies" option"), starting from 19th smile the order is random-like. In any case the box with all smilies, show smilies NOT in order, ever, with any setting.




This is because you don't use the right syntax.

For username : /pm uname "Lord Eriol" test or /pm uid userid test (without "" for the uid).

oh! thanks! i didn't noticed that quotes

...can i suggest you a simpler sintax? I think no one use the userid format, the only format used is "username", then you should remove the "uname" and use this sintax:
/PM "username" textmessage

but you can leave userid sintax if someone want use it, with same format as is now

about PM, i noticed that you have included a set of icons for PM, that suggest me that PM can function as channel... maybe? how can i use that icons?


Isn't it an usergroup permission ? Are you sure of this bug ?

i investigate on that and solved, my usergroup setting error
i have that prob because MODs are registered users too! i supposed (wrongly) that chatbox appling the "best" permission of mod usergroup. However solved removing MODs from registered users usergoup.





Do all users who posts experiences that bug ? Only with IE but not Firefox right ?

no, no... i experienced that with FF and near all of my users use FF, and much of them experienced that prob, i cant say if all... but many

just another thing that seem don't function, comand SLAP.... i tried to slap "username" o Slap username (without quotes) but nothing happen

as ever.. many many thank for your effort and your support

[cheat-master30]

New update already? Looks good though, so I'll update for my own forum tomorrow.

[gpc10347]

Hope it's not already been mentioned as a potential non-life-threatening issue but it seems the alternating row colors doesn't always work. If I refresh, it reappears properly but occassionally runs the same color for an unspecified period...

Also noticed (admin cp title) MGC Chatbox Evo : Chats diplay - but who reads this stuff :D

Yeah I was wondering the same thing...

I think maybe just a language added?

Why don't you guys start explore hacks before ask unswered questions?!?!?! This is in each usergroup settings: Minimum number of posts to use the chatbox.

He said DAILY post count.

[VBDev]

Today I installed the chatbox on a vB 3.8 beta test forum with standard style and everything worked fine with ie and firefox. I installed vbcms portal and included the chatbox on the portal site and everything worked perfect.

I uninstalled the chatbox in our "real" forum, deleted all the files from the server and deleted all templates and installed the chatbox. But still the same problem. IE users can't see the shouts in the shoutbox. May there be a problem with the style?

Do you have a specific difference between your real forum server and the test one ?

VBDev,

The users on my site really want a chat function, and I really want a transcript function to make sure good stuff doesn't slip away into the ethers of obscurity. I really don't want to add chat until there's a way to do that.

Just something that could drop an entire chat, or maybe an hourly or daily snapshot of history... something like that... into a chat transcript forum. That'd be dandy.

Title could of the transcript post be based on the date, whatever. Nothing too fancy needed. Just something functional. That way, if anything amazing comes up, there's a record, and it'll come up in the search.

If you can add this, I'll donate at least $100 to the project by paypal. More if you find this complex in any way.

PM me your paypal addy if this is do-able and okay by you.

Thanks kindly :) :)
Jas

UPDATE: I just imported the style to our testforum and the chatbox is still working. Do you have an idea where the problem is?

The chatbox archive is the transcript of the chats yes.

All old chats that aren't shown in the chatbox anymore will still be shown there :)

[carlos2000]

Do you have a specific difference between your real forum server and the test one ?


What do you mean with specific difference? The test forum was a new installation. Our "real" forum was updated from an earlier version of vB to 3.7.3. We also installed an earlier version of the mgc chatbox. But we uninstalled it and deleted the files on the server when we used mgc chatbox evo.

And our testforum runs on another server. Are there some server settings which have to be done?

[VBDev]

New update already? Looks good though, so I'll update for my own forum tomorrow.

Yes I posted a message in the forum and sent an update email, it was just the addition of the turkish language.

In that case I don't increment the chatbox version.

Hope it's not already been mentioned as a potential non-life-threatening issue but it seems the alternating row colors doesn't always work. If I refresh, it reappears properly but occassionally runs the same color for an unspecified period...

Also noticed (admin cp title) MGC Chatbox Evo : Chats diplay - but who reads this stuff :D

The problem with the alternating row colors is the new performance enhancing system I introduced (intelligent shouts loading).

I think I will perhaps remove the possibility to alternate row colors because the management would be too hard to achieve to make it compatible with the performance thing (that would need many javascript code to be ran).

can you set a daily post requirement on this hack? Like a user must make 3 posts to the forum before being able to use the chat feature

You can set a minimum number of posts during the last 24 hours condition (usergroup permission). Is it what you're seeking ?

There is perhaps some differences between your two servers which are interfering with the chatbox.

Do you have mod_security activated ?

[VBDev]

no, no javascript modification applied, I installed directly the 1.0.0 version (fresh install) on
vb 3.7.2 and then i not needed javascript mod
Anyway, i repeat, the 1.0.0 version was running fine with that skin, the "security" problem is apparead only after upgrading to new version


Hum, I checked the code and there shouldn't be any security token error.

I don't remember if I asked you wether you had emptied your browser cache or not ?

Where exactly did that problem happen ?


where is this option? i just see only 2 options to set:

-Retrieval of smilies in the admincp set order (yes/no)
-Random retrieval of the smilies (yes/no)

i tried all combination of this setting, and i get ever a random-like order of smilies, and this for the few smiles visible inside chatbox but for box showing all smilies too (th box that opens when you click on "...more")
Only setting "no" to both I obtained a max 18 smilies inside the chatbox that respect the admin panel order, yes just 18, if i set a greater number (from "Number of listed smilies" option"), starting from 19th smile the order is random-like. In any case the box with all smilies, show smilies NOT in order, ever, with any setting.


The first option shall be set to yes and the other to no to achieve what you want.


...can i suggest you a simpler sintax? I think no one use the userid format, the only format used is "username", then you should remove the "uname" and use this sintax:
/PM "username" textmessage


I don't really want to change the whole syntax of the command. By the way I am using the userid one in the menu.


about PM, i noticed that you have included a set of icons for PM, that suggest me that PM can function as channel... maybe? how can i use that icons?


It used to be possible prior to 1.0.0. Now PM are shown in all channels.

Perhaps I could see the possiblity of adding command options for channels ?


just another thing that seem don't function, comand SLAP.... i tried to slap "username" o Slap username (without quotes) but nothing happen


You have activated the command ? Check the help for the command ysntax.

[carlos2000]

There is perhaps some differences between your two servers which are interfering with the chatbox.

Do you have mod_security activated ?

I'll have to take a look. The server things does a friend of mine.

[BucWiLd]

You can set a minimum number of posts during the last 24 hours condition (usergroup permission). Is it what you're seeking ?

so this chatbox Does have a feature that restrict use of the chat box unless a user hit the required post amount in a 24 hr time frame. So if i enter 4 in that area none can use the chatbox on any day unless they have 4 posts that day?

[VBDev]

Exactly ! You got it :)

[pedroenf]

He said DAILY post count.

And i know that. Wrong copy/paste :D . This is the right one: Minimum number of posts during the last 24H to use the chatbox, just bellow the other option

[carlos2000]

There is perhaps some differences between your two servers which are interfering with the chatbox.

Do you have mod_security activated ?

Just checked the server settings. The settings are the same on both servers...

We just installed version 0.5 and this version works fine with IE.

[lord eriol]

Hum, I checked the code and there shouldn't be any security token error.

I don't remember if I asked you wether you had emptied your browser cache or not ?

Where exactly did that problem happen ?

1) i tried with FF and IE, emptied cache, same problem

2) that problem (Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.), happen using a specific skin, but only with that one, not with default skin, and not with other skin that i have on my forum
using that skin I see the chatbox , but if i type something inside chatbox and then press enter... that message appear
I repeat that i used this "faulty" skin before with version 1.0.0 and it worked, without any problem.
this "security-token" problem is appeared when i just upgraded to 1.1.0 (and i never used security token javascript, not when installed previous 1.0.0. and not when upgraded to 1.1.0)




The first option shall be set to yes and the other to no to achieve what you want.

as i said, i tried ALL combination of this option, and this too, and never obtained same post editor smilies order (that is the same order of admin panel, the "correct" order)

With the setting you suggest, i get TOTAL random order, for smiles INSIDE chatbox and for all smilies window too!
I only obtained to have 18 smilies -inside- chatbox with same order of post editor, setting that options to NO/NO (but clicking on "...more" i get the all smilies windows with smilies in random-like order)

I understand that is strange, i can give you a forum admin pw access if you want check (for skin problem too)

It used to be possible prior to 1.0.0. Now PM are shown in all channels.

Perhaps I could see the possiblity of adding command options for channels ?

should be very nice if we can have PM discussion re-directed and all grouped -automatically- in a PM channel



You have activated the command ? Check the help for the command ysntax.

:rolleyes: sure....

i chechekd many time the sintax..... slap has 2 format
1) /slap uname username_utilisateur
2) /slap uid userid_utilisateur

i tried only with uname format, tried with username inside quotes and without quotes.. right format now is without quote

the command in some way "work", because if i type a username that don't exist, i get the message:
L'utilisateur que vous souhaitez gifler n'existe pas

instead if i type a username existing (inside chatbox) i get no error message... but NOTHING happen.
I asked to users that i "slapped" if they has receveid a message or something, but nothing.

[Ranger187]

Yes it's a possibility. I should apply a fix for the mod security thing. I'll need your help to test if it works once done.


Fine with me.

[MotMann]

I have install the new Version. Bevore, i deinstall the old one.
But in the Box there comes no Text. In the Archive i can see that.

What shell i do?

http://www.xboxgamertag.de/forum.php

[Ranger187]

mod security, or security var token blah blah.

[MotMann]

For me? But its only with Firefox ....

[Ranger187]

For me? But its only with Firefox ....

Revert your templates.

[MotMann]

No, its not work and ist terrible. My Complete Style is now broken :(

[Ranger187]

No, its not work and ist terrible. My Complete Style is now broken :(

Reverting a style doesn't break anything. Sounds to me like you already had issues.

If you want, later today I can take a look. PM me a login / password to the forum with admin access and the ftp account login / password so I can reupload/edit the chat files if needed.

I'd do it now but my daughter and I have plans.

[VBDev]

Sorry, I have been a bit busy lately and haven't been able to do anything relating to the chatbox.

Just checked the server settings. The settings are the same on both servers...

We just installed version 0.5 and this version works fine with IE.

Yes but I don't understand why it works on your other forum with the default and normal style.

There must be differences between your test forum and your real forum.

1) i tried with FF and IE, emptied cache, same problem

2) that problem (Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.), happen using a specific skin, but only with that one, not with default skin, and not with other skin that i have on my forum
using that skin I see the chatbox , but if i type something inside chatbox and then press enter... that message appear
I repeat that i used this "faulty" skin before with version 1.0.0 and it worked, without any problem.
this "security-token" problem is appeared when i just upgraded to 1.1.0 (and i never used security token javascript, not when installed previous 1.0.0. and not when upgraded to 1.1.0)


The chats sending javascript code is ok, the security token is in the called url.

Are you sure it does come from the chatbox ?


as i said, i tried ALL combination of this option, and this too, and never obtained same post editor smilies order (that is the same order of admin panel, the "correct" order)

With the setting you suggest, i get TOTAL random order, for smiles INSIDE chatbox and for all smilies window too!

I understand that is strange, i can give you a forum admin pw access if you want check (for skin problem too)


I add it to the "bug list" and will have a look.



should be very nice if we can have PM discussion re-directed and all grouped -automatically- in a PM channel


I'll see what I can do.



i chechekd many time the sintax..... slap has 2 format

Hum very strange. And if you try using the menu item ?

[MotMann]

Reverting a style doesn't break anything. Sounds to me like you already had issues.

Yes... thats normaly, if i revert the Templates, because the CSS is then not correct ;)

The Problem exist, that in Forumhome the Text not dislpayed, but in the Achive i can see the Text.

And since the Update, the Chatbox don't displayed in the online.php. I try that....

Have you tried activating the display chatbox under the navbar on all pages and then add online in the pages list ?
.. but it's not working :(

Any Idea?

[Ranger187]

MotMann, like I said earlier, I'll try and help but you need to create the accounts and supply the info.

[PoetJA-1975]

Thanx for this wonderful chatbox - I have a question please. How do I make the chatbox appear 1st, directly beneath the navbar on forumhome as seen in the screenshot below? I have tried setting the execution order of the Chatbox display on forumhome plugin to 1 - doesn't seem to work though.

Thanx in advance for help ;)

Jacquii.
