MGC Chatbox Evo

[Markos]

thats you're style thats maken it do that i had the same prob b4r i changed my style

[Veer]

Hello, VBDev

I'm using Chatbox Version 1.1.0 on vB 3.7.4

I was editing a usergroup in the Admin CP. I hit the "Save" button and got the "successful" message, but when I look in the Usergroup Manager vB has created a new usergroup under "Custom Usergroups" with the settings I changed instead of modifying the usergroup as I would like.

To troubleshoot I contact vB support, they suggested me to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory, so I deleted bitfield_mgc_cb_evo.xml and cpnav_mgc_cb_evo.xml and problem gone, I tried to re upload these xml files but the problem came again.

I hope you will try to fix this issue asap!

Thanks.

tried that and its still happening.

[Markos]

is the style upto date with you're vbulletin version ase my home template was not uptodate so i purchest a style that was for 3.7.4 and worked fine and i didnt do nothing else just changed the style

[BucWiLd]

im on 3.7.3 not upgrading till the new blog goes gold. igure it must be a hack issue. i disabled the donate bar and moved the lates photos to below the forum and now its on top. Any way to set it so when users choose a color they stay that way instead of having to pick it on every chat attempt. Also when posting a chat it sometimes shows twice, only to the senders not the reciebing party. they only see one submission

[BucWiLd]

Im having trouble with IE users getting some chat box erors and getting booted is how they describe it. I also get the dbl chat thingy. but im most concerned about the ie users getting errors only

[VBDev]

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 ;)

You can try to use the little help in the readme for style issues. This should do the trick.

For the color picking, they can set it in their usercp.

Which type of errors do they see ?

I don't think it comes from the chatbox . Noone ever experienced that and the xml files are totally handled by vB.

Unless already addressed, I have a minor feature request or perhaps, this is something that isn't as good of idea as I think: Let me know.

The [more] button for smileys currently displays the entire onslaught of smileys that I have and unfortunately, it appears to overload some folks browsers. Of course I can remove some but I have a mod that affects misc.php that prevents the issue when posting in the threads...

Would it be possible to have mgc_chat reference /misc.php?do=getsmilies&editorid=&select_category=Animated or similar in it's [more] smileys function?

Thanks for a great mod no matter what

[BucWiLd]

VB DEV, they get a message chat processing and when they click ok i guess it is. it freezes and closes there browser. it has happened to me on ff like twice

[Medtech]

Done some reading here, can't find my answer, How do i change the chats from appearing horizontal to vertical like most other chatboxes? I searched through the admincp for it, didn't find the option to change it. thanks

Would it be possible to have mgc_chat reference /misc.php?do=getsmilies&editorid=&select_category=Animated or similar in it's [more] smileys function?

You can do this yourself already with a simple workaround. Just create a new smiley group "Chatbox Smilies" or something else.
Once done, add the smilies there you want to use - this Group then get's an internal ID in the Database.
Open your Database - the "smilies" table - it's in a form of:

smilieid | title | smilietext | smiliepath | imagecategoryid | ...

While "imagecategoryid" is important here. Note the number and then open:

mgc_cb_evo.php

Search for:


/* All smilies window */
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == "showsmilies")
{
if ((!can_view_mgc_cb_evo() && !can_use_mgc_cb_evo()) || !$vbulletin->options
['mgc_cb_evo_smileys'])
{
print_no_permission();
}

/* Retrieving smilies */
$getsmilies = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie ORDER BY displayorder ASC");


And modify the "$getsmilies" to:

$getsmilies = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie WHERE imagecategoryid=1 ORDER BY displayorder ASC");

Replace "imagecategoryid=1" with the right "imagecategoryid=... the number you're using" :)

Please note:

This just changes the "Popup" - it doesn't change the smilies displayed directly in the Chatbox. This is configured somewhere else :)

I noticed using the /del all command deletes all chats from all channels. Can this be separated?

You have to use the /del chan command (check syntax) within the chatbox.

Thanks VBDev :). Though, where can I find this issue in the bug list? I can't find it.

I'm looking for a private moderators only chat add-on, but one which is like a chat room. Whenever a moderator writes something it should pop out to every other moderator, that is online and vice versa. It is needed for better collaboration between moderators so everyone agrees with a certain course of action being chosen. It would be advantageous to have the option to sign in the chat, to show that they are available as moderators. Maybe something like the one in facebook, but for more than 2 persons. I believe permissions will be based on usergroups, so having the same one for regular users will be good too.

I looked through the available ones, but the choice is big and I'm probably not even getting the full list with the search term "chat"

No this chat is not a direct messaging system with popups like the one your seeking for.

I don't even now of a chat addon that allows that by the way.

Thank you. Can you suggest something as close to my needs as possible then? I guess I'll have to forget about the popups. I looked through 7-8 chat addons here and I'm not exactly sure which one to pick. What is the easiest way to demo them, without the need to install them on forum I need them for. I need something simple so it doesn't add much load to the server. It will be used by maximum of 10 moderators and if regular users are let to use it too - then I predict around 50-100 people online in it as well.

Thank you

That's an interesting suggestion.

Hey VB... I think the readme should be updated for that loading issue. I have an idea of what can be put there if they have the loading issue ontop of what's already there. Unless that YUI will elimanate this?

vb 3.8.1 and chatbox version 1.1.0


Very strange mine is also appearing horizontal for some reason and it was appearing vertical...I am at a loss as to what happened.

Anybody have any ideas????

[Ranger187]

That's templates. Chats are always up/down, not left/right hence "vertical". If you want it to a side, you would have to modify the templates.

[dyna88]

I want it vertical....

The strange thing is, is that all I did was edit the .vbmenu_control font color on a new style and when I went to look at the color I noticed the chats were going horizontal instead of vertical. I checked the default style and it is the same way....I am at a lose here.

I uninstalled and re-installed the chat product for the hell of it and that had no effect....any ideas.


I submitted a screen shot...

[Ranger187]

My opinion: Horizontal is gay, and hard to read. That will only cause major confusion.

I think you mean vertical "up/down" which is the standard. Your screen shot shows horizontal.

Revert the changes you made outside any files that were included with the chat, then reinstall.

Yeah I miss typed, I edited my post...thanks

I made no changes to any of the chat files....

[Ranger187]

Nah bro, I said revert the changes you made outside of the chat. Meaning to the VBulletin files themself that were not part of the files in the zip. You edited some CSS style or something. Revert the templates. See if the default template (this is why it's good to never touch that one or delete it. ;) ) shows it working fine. If it does, then it's the templates.

[dyna88]

I never touch the default style, that is the first thing I checked and it is doing the same thing....I included a screen shot of the default style

All I changed was the .vbmenu_control of a new style which I did put back but shouldn't matter anyway. The only templates I edited in the style were the header and footer and that was yesterday but that shouldn't cause this anyway...

Thanks for ideas...keep them coming...:up:

Edit:
I have an update...I have been using Firefox so I tried it in IE and have found that with IE the chats do not display at all..the second screen shot is IE.

What you changed was not part of the chat. It was a template. Revert. ;)

[dyna88]

What you changed was not part of the chat. It was a template. Revert. ;)

I realize it was not part of chat...I changed some CSS not a template. If I try to revert the default style templates (which doesn't work either) it says "nothing to do"

[Ranger187]

Whatever changes YOU made, you have to undo. The results of it doing what it's doing are because of you. Undo those changes. ;)

[dyna88]

I did but that still shouldn't effect my default template....I guess I will probably just have to use a different chat box because this one has me stumped...LOL

[Ranger187]

It's not the chatbox, it's the files YOU changed.

[dyna88]

But I didn't change any files today all I did was change the font color for .vbmenu_control in a style other then default. I made absolutely no changes to the default style yet it is effected also.

The only modified php file is class core and that was done a few days ago.

[Ranger187]

You keep stating you changed stuff elsewhere. ;)

If that's the case, uninstall the chat, remove the files, reinstall and it will work. If it doesn't....it'sbecause you changed something else.

I've followed the uninstall instructions exactly and I still receive usergroup permissions. The reason I'd like to uninstall this product is because I'm receiving usegroup errors. I was having the same problem with cyb chatbox which I eventually properly uninstalled which resulted in no usergroup errors.

I need help uninstalling this product properly since I receive usergroup error.

-------------------------------
Uninstall instructions :
-------------------------------

You must carefully follow these steps if you don't want to screw up your forum when uninstalling the chatbox.

1/ Remove the chatbox files from your forum directories
2/ Uninstall the MGC Chatbox Evo product
3/ You're done with the uninstall

To compare, download the version you've used again to see if really everything has been removed.

I'd love to keep this mod but I receive white pages on thread replies. The previous version of mgc chatbox I installed, non evo one was also riddled with loads of white pages, this one not as much but I can't afford to have white / blank pages on my forum :(

[aranthorn]

it's odd, but no matter what I do, the command permissions just aren't 'taking'. Usergroups with permissions to use commands cannot use them and some usergroups that don't have permissions to use some commands can use them. It's like when I update the command permissions, it has no effect at all.

You have to put 3 type of your images : the active/inactive/new ones, check for current images for names suffix. They shall be in gif format.

Then just add the name of the image without the extension and suffixes.

This error is from the previous version of the chatbox (non evo one). I think when updating to the evo version you haven't removed all chatbox files of the previous one.

Remove the files and it should do the trick :)

Which means ?

it's odd, but no matter what I do, the command permissions just aren't 'taking'. Usergroups with permissions to use commands cannot use them and some usergroups that don't have permissions to use some commands can use them. It's like when I update the command permissions, it has no effect at all.

I tested it and it's working perfectly. The usergroup you have problems are specific ones ? I mean not vBulletin default ones.

Can you make a screenshot of one of your command permissions page which you have problems with ?

If you installed new version over previous one, stop. You have to remove previous, then install new.

This means uninstalling correctly, which you didn't do. If you did, the errors wouldn't be there. I'm assuming you either deleted files, or uninstalled and didn't delete files.

Reinstall it, then uninstall per the readme file. This time, remember to delete the files (all of them).

Thank you very much for this post !

I am going to add it to the todo list and will do the replacements for the next version.

The only place where there are jquery uses is in the js files and the mgc_cb_evo template.

[ReCom]

The following hack adds a 5-seconds delay before the chats are loaded the first time:

In template "mgc_cb_evo", replace:
<script type="text/javascript">
chatbox_refresh('forced');
</script>
with
<script type="text/javascript">
var chat_timer;
var chat_first_time = true;
var old_chatbox_refresh = chatbox_refresh;
chatbox_refresh = function(t, s)
{
var cc = fetch_object('chats');
if (!s)
{
if (cc && chat_first_time) {
cc.innerHTML = '$vbphrase[mgc_cb_evo_loading]';
chat_first_time = false;
}

i installed and it is working great. can someone tell me where is the option for daily post requirements? i have looked in all the admin panel options and cant find it. forget it i found it.. lol

what does this mean?

Warning : add a sql query for the usergroup where this value is different from 0.

[aranthorn]

I tested it and it's working perfectly. The usergroup you have problems are specific ones ? I mean not vBulletin default ones.

Can you make a screenshot of one of your command permissions page which you have problems with ?
Usergroup permissions for the "ban" command:

Do you checked your Webserver / PHP Log why these white pages appear ?

[AWJunkies]

I have a quick question is there any way to import chats from say CYB chat system so people still have their stats? If not I will make one right now.

No problem at all sorry it took so long I was so busy with own projects. I posted this issue while you where gone on vacation. Also I have another thing for you which I think is crucial which also fixes a IE issue with the new fix I posted few posts above.

This is crucial to me because your loading jquery and the three other files on EVERY page of my site even though 90% of the time it is not used. This allows for a check IF the user can see it and is allowed too and the chatbox is ON it will load the js otherwise it will not appear. This also fixes the IE issue of jQuery null or not an object when you do the above fix for your mod not interfering with other js platforms.

Enjoy :)

[AWJunkies]

I created an import script for chat messages from CYB Chatbox to MGC Chatbox. VBDEV contact me for it maybe you want to include it in system as well. I just imported over 440,000 messages :) Without a hitch. Also Not sure if you thought about this but have a stats table to record stats of user messages so you don't have to keep 2.5 million messages and can prune delete and keep the table to set time 1 month 3 months 6 months 1 year whatever and it will prune away messages but keep stats. Let me know if this makes sense all you need to do is add a field in users table to keep a global count in for messages. Have it update every message post or just have a cron that does it or whatever it is your software. It may already be in software I saw a prune thing but not sure how it works.

We used to do contests and have anti spam built in etc for who was in top10 for chats that month

Also not sure if you have this but CYB chatbox when a user was deleted in vB it would NOT delete their chat box messages. Not sure if yours does or not but please have them linked cause the manual check who I deleted whatever and delete using manual SQL can be a pain but again up to you.

Also would be cool to see a chat post limit per usergroup. Say you want to allow registered users to view it but can only post 5 times after which it either does not allow them to view chatbox all together anymore unless they donate/subscribe and or just lock them out from posting more.

You may be able to give more incite in other places that might need this changed so let me know so I can update it on my end. I think this should by default with your software so your software never conflicts with other platforms but totally up to you.

I just changed what pages I knew I had Prototype or other platforms on so please let me know all places.

Hell man you're awesome ! Thanks for your contribution !! I will contact you ASAP by PM.

About the stats, yes that's an intersting idea to keep stats in an user table. The problem with statistics is that it's currently dynamic count.
I mean that all users won't see the same number of chats made by a same user if they don't have access to all the commands the user has access to, you see what I mean ?
And updating things in the user table would add an additionnal query which is not a good thing.
Even with a cron I think it wouldn't be such a good idea as it would count shouts that perhaps have been manually removed for out of rules purposes. Don't you think so ? What's your point ?

The chat post limit is a good idea too. What I am wondering is if it would be a 5 times per day or a 5 times ever you are thinking at ?

You shouldn't be adding awjunkies code dude. The developers have to incorporate it, not the end users.

You shouldn't be adding awjunkies code dude. The developers have to incorporate it, not the end users.
It works fine in FF and Opera, just not in IE as some changes that you can make in MGC chat control pannel at the moment with VBDev final work. And i was just reporting to awjunkies, and i do not see in his posts any reference to end users not try this changes. Dude.

[Angel-Wings]

Hello :)

I've mod_sec installed, also read the link you've given. A simple fix for this would be:


<Directory "/var/www/my_site/my_forum/">
<FilesMatch "mgc_cb_evo_ajax\.php">
SecRuleRemoveById 950117
SecRuleRemoveById 970901
</FilesMatch>
</Directory>


Applies to mod_security 2.5.x and 2.1.x with the default shipped ruleset.

If additionally using Suhosin:


<Directory "/var/www/my_site/my_forum/">
<FilesMatch "mgc_cb_evo_ajax\.php">
php_admin_value suhosin.executor.disable_emodifier Off
php_admin_value suhosin.executor.disable_eval Off
</FilesMatch>
</Directory>


The last one is maybe little bit "too" much, you can manually go through the PHP file and use suhosin.executor.eval.whitelist / suhosin.executor.eval.blacklist

[AWJunkies]

Make sure it is a clean install and you do this. Again tests perfect on IE7/8B2, Opera,Fx, Konq etc and so on.

Also I would like to say this does effect other jquery scripts by changing their $ to jQuery as well. So it is kinda tricky where you execute and set back etc to normal $. Will show you examples later on this and ways to fix. If you post up a mod that uses jQuery I will adjust accordingly for it. BUT the best solution is going with YUI which I see you have in future stuff as this would cause 0 issues with any mods/software using other platforms. YUI is different then jQuery, Proto, etc and so on keeps with javascript core platform and expands off of it and doesn't try to recode things and change things. This is where all the issues arise with platforms interfering. But again was more information purpose to developer for a fix if he so chooses to go that way. He can always revert the value back after the fact so it doesn't effect other jquery software again not for users to use unless they know coding to be able to customize to fit needs.

Here is another jquery software that breaks while doing this:
Collapsable First Post using AJAX (or Last Post!)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=145187
Which to me is an awesome mod and yes it works for 3.7.X

Only issue is this software uses an old version of jquery and not the new so that in itself is limiting and causing issues. But just wanted to let you guys know.

I have a fix but again wont bore with all this stuff I will talk to developer directly and get a global fix for everyone.

Try now fixed the IE issue it did not like the:

So change it to:
<script>jQuery.noConflict();</script>

The var thing was just for example of what you can do if you didn't want to use default function output.

Opera is not a "standard" browser. Check in both IE and Firefox. Look in the error console. It's gotta be templates.

Ok got my problems fixed.....

The Loading problem was fixed by modifying var SECURITYTOKEN = "0"; and deleting the "" around the 0!

So it looks like:

<code>
var SECURITYTOKEN = 0;
</code>

That fixed the loading problem for me!

Hi,

the chatbox seems to work, but there seem to be problems with the IE.
You can't close the box, and if you click the BB-Code and the smilies, you can use the functions but errors are shown at the button left hand (a yellow warning triangle). As mentioned above, we can't close the box at all. I don't have any problems with FF and Opera. Can someone help me with the problem? I use vB 3.7.4and the Chatbox 1.1.0.

I had to translate your image since I don't speak Turkish but I think I figured out what it is you found...LOL

The chats running horizontal in Firefox and not displaying in IE was caused by "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" set to yes? I don't have it installed the moment to test it but that makes sense...I did have that enabled. Great find!!!


Edit: I tested it and that was it!!!

I added a screen shot for us non Turkish speaking members.....Thanks again!!!

i still have the loading problem now. I am running3.6.7. After entering something and pressing send, it just disappears and is still loading?!? Please help.

I do not recommend this shoutbox at all. The features are great but uninstalling it isn't an option and when I tried it killed the forum completely. Not worth it

That is something not, at least polite, to say. U have it installed since first edition, installed and uninstalled several times and did no harm to my forum. You must have done something wrong, but even wronger is to say that this mod kills a forum.

[Blumy]

Is there going to be an option to open up a Private Message channel like with the Inferno Shoutbox? I PM a lot of members through the shoutbox but It gets rather annoying when I have PM's popping up in the middle of conversations. I would appreciate it if they popped up in seperate channels.

I don't recommend you talk or eat but that doesn't mean others need to listen. ;) It's an opinion.

Anyways, if you read the readme file it CLEARLY tells you how to uninstall. And EVERY person that had issues including you didn't follow those instructions. I know this because I've installed it on about 2000+ sites for people including uninstalling, troubleshooting etc.

Reinstall the product, FOLLOW the readme, and it will uninstall fine.

1. You never posted here for help.
2. You posted in the Ajax(non evo) thread for something else, but again, not asking for help. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1403733&postcount=1977 By that post it looks obvious you don't understand some settings as that issue is easily remedied.

It takes me all but a few minutes to set this up on any site and 100% work. And I'm not the developer. I just like the product and offer support freely. If you want help, ask. I can get it working for you if you want, just pm me info like ftp and forum account and I'll help.

And the reason I support it so much, is every forum I have it running on, user impressions (amount of time spent on forum) more then doubles. People went from a few minutes to hours.

Claudi

Becareful when saying that you can't close the chatbox.

There is an option that set the number of posts to be shown when the chatbox is collapsed. So it means that shouts will still be shown even if the chatbox is "closed" unless you put 0 in that option.

[VBDev]

2.0.0 Development status :

Yeah as you can see guys the next version won't be 1.1.1 or 1.2.1 but 2.0.0 !

This means that some part of the software have been totally rewritten in the upcoming version. This time it's not the PHP but the javascript !

As stated long ago, I add to modify the chatbox js code in order to apply the new vB ajax way of use based on YUI syntax. And here you go ! I have had time to do it and it's working well !!

This migration will lead to major enhancements in the version following the coming one ! BE PREPARED :D

Back to the subject ! So development is going pretty well, there is still one feature to be moved to YUI : the dialog box. Then there will be still few other bugs to fix (remaining one in the list) and perhaps some other additionnal features as well and the release will be ready for ... beta testing !
As many changes have been made to the javascript core of the chatbox I want true beta testers not just users that want to see how the new version looks like ! As a consequence, the beta phasis will certainly be a bit longer this time in order to give users the time to test all features of the chatbox (not only the one they use frequently) in order to make in-depth feedbacks of the new release !

So hold on to your keyboards, baby is coming :D

[Ranger187]

This time add the save/restore/backup feature ;)

Thanks ! Glad someone find out what was causing the problem, I now can more easily investigate.

[Stile2]

Yeah buddy, enable usergroup options. ;)

Sorry not the most experienced. I not see "enable usergroup options" where is that?

This has been put on a forum that has never had any chatbox or shout box. Followed directions carefully. Still can see the chat box admincp, but not chatbox on the forum home page.

Could someone be a lot more specific than "Yeah buddy, enable usergroup options."?

Thanks

[Stile2]

Never mind I figured it out.

[Stile2]

Ok I can see it now but I am using a VBa CMPS integration page and the chat box shoves the center column to the right and off the screen.

Fix?

OMG, you all but made me spit my soda all over my screens. Are you serious? I think you need 16 cores to run it, or your system will flop... It's a plugin, not an application ;)

I have about 30 sites running on my one server, and even with them all posting/chatting at the same time, server load is very minimal.

And the 100Mbit port no ISP uses unless you have a T1 or straight fiber connection. It's usually 10 based.

Just loading your main page looks like the server is struggling. It has to do with packets and data. Almost certain it's their issue.

Yeah, it's not good enough. I'll give you an address where you can send it, then buy a new one.

MY GOD, do you not understand sarcasm? ;)

When you say bought, you mean hosting I'm guessing, since Ecatel doesn't actually make servers, and instead they host and offer co-location. Sadly, they are horrible at hosting.

If you can run a website, you can run this plugin. The load imposed from it is not even a factor so no worries.

Uninstall instructions :
-------------------------------

You must carefully follow these steps if you don't want to screw up your forum when uninstalling the chatbox.

1/ Remove the chatbox files from your forum directories
2/ Uninstall the MGC Chatbox Evo product
3/ You're done with the uninstall

Lets get a few things straight bud.....

First off, you should be doing backups of the database to begin with. If not, there is nobody to blame but yourself for poor administration. Of course that's also how I learned way way back when I first started with VB. I installed all this crap, had no experience with it, messed it all up, had to start over. Learn from your mistakes. You claim the chat messed it up, I'll challenge you to prove that because I'm 99% certain it was user error. The chat makes it's own tables, and doesn't affect vb's. Somewhere, somehow, you probably did a boo boo and you admit it by saying you just clicked uninstall and never read the readme. ;)

And for your second reply. Uninstalling mods doesn't simply mean click uninstall. Almost every plugin/mod comes with a readme. How did you install the product if you didn't read that file? ;) Because in that readme is the install info and uninstall info. Don't get me wrong, I hate reading those long ass files sometimes (more then a few lines = long haha) but the developers make them for a reason and I also messed up the chatbox and had forum errors way back when I first started using the earlier mgc chats. The time it took you to post your reply , is the same time it takes to read the uinstall info.

Do yourself a favor. Start doing db backups with any changes. It's so worth it in the end. It gives you more flexability.

Whereabouts is the "Help file" for the chatbox?

At the moment I'm seeing a mixture of English and French wording... here's an example.


General help
The MGC Chatbox Evo is really easy to use

You can :

Send chats : you just have to enter the text in the dedicated input field and then to validate it by pushing the return key ou by clicking on the OK button.
Format the chats : once you un-collapse the chatbox formatting toolbar by clicking on the BBCode button, you have access to different formatting options for your chats. You can format a chat by selecting a part (or the totality) of it and then select one of the buttons/list. You can also add empty formatting tags by selecting nothing and clicking one of the buttons/menu thus allowing you to add the chat text afterwards between these tags.*
Access to the different channels : you can have access to different channels restricted to only some usergroupds or for specifics use of the chatbox. The different channels are accessible from the buttons on the left of the chatbox.*
Edit your chats (or others chats) : the edition of a chat can be done by a simple double-click on it.*
Use specific commands : some commands can be accessible in the chatbox depending on the will of the administrator(s) of your forum. These commands let you execute specific actions of formatting, management, etc... You will herebelow the information on the command which are accessible to you. You must notice that you are not forced to use the command prefixes (/command_name) when you use them in the channel they are attached to (except in the general channel).*
* : Depending on the settings chosen by the administrator(s) of the forum, you might not have access to all these features.

There have been reports on problems with utf-8 in this thread, but those seem to be fixed. Unfortunately utf-8 is not working for me. When I switch the language to utf-8, the shoutbox won' t be displayed in IE7. It works fine in FF3.

In IE7 you are able to view the archive, but small and full-size shoutbox won' t be loaded.

chatbox timeout is no longer working after i upgraded to 1.1.0. also some of the new database tables weren't created during the upgrade so I had to do them manually. Is the timeout also related to a missing database table?

To achieve this I think you have to follow the style issue how to in the chatbox readme even if you don't really have a style issue but more a chatbox placement concern :)

There have been reports on problems with utf-8 in this thread, but those seem to be fixed. Unfortunately utf-8 is not working for me. When I switch the language to utf-8, the shoutbox won' t be displayed in IE7. It works fine in FF3.

In IE7 you are able to view the archive, but small and full-size shoutbox won' t be loaded.

Do you have the template name in HTML comments option activated in your vBulletin forums setup ?

chatbox timeout is no longer working after i upgraded to 1.1.0. also some of the new database tables weren't created during the upgrade so I had to do them manually. Is the timeout also related to a missing database table?

Hum you mean the inactive function ? I have tested it recently and it does (on the current up-to-be-released version).

I am having issues with my 2 other channels, this only happens when i sticky a chat in gen channel, it seems to stop the other channels working and no chats are displayed, i turned off the sticky feature in user groups and removed the stuck chat all working fine now, any cure for this?

I cannot find the setting. I have searched for html and for comments, but such an option does not exist in default vb options. Can you please give further information?

In your AdminCP

vBulletin Options > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments

Is this set to Yes or No

[jerx]

The "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" is set to no. I have turned it on, but then the shoutbox will even be empty on iso encoding. Therefore I turned it off again.

[rknight111]

Is there a way to completely flush all the info out of the shoutbox and start from scratch.

[jerx]

Do you have so many shouts? I would set the "Number of days before automatic chats removal" to 1. Then you will only have messages from the last day. You probably need to wait one day until the shouts are deleted. The rest can be deleted manually by going into the archive.

[VBDev]

With current version you must not activate that option ! It is corrected in next version.

Yes you can export chats from the archive and remove all chats either in the archives with the tick boxes or using the del command "/del all" (activate it before).

[zstewart]

Has the double chat posting been fixed? I see it was taken off the fixed list but I have yet heard anything about it.

[VBDev]

I think the next version should fix it yeah :)

[Ranger187]

After some thoughts and discussions, I am not sure this is really needed.

What would be the need for such feature as soon as the backward compatibility is in the chatbox ?

I'm looking at it from a backup/restore standpoint. I know a lot of users on here don't backup their database (bad practice but lets not go there) and when they do something without reading and wipe it, restoring that would be nice. Provided they didn't bunk their main db to begin with.

Having it as an option to just export and being able to restore it puts a lot at ease as the main discussions are right in the chat.

nope, the inactive function doesn't work anymore.... were there any database table changes from 0.4 for this setting specifically?

Well - won't you agree that people who don't backup their DB even won't use a backup function, if provided ?
And if they backup their DB, such a backup function isn't needed at all.

Or ?

Yes that's the thing ! I don't see the need in backuping the chat table if users save their database.

How have you upgraded from 0.4 to 1.1.0 ??

[jerx]

I don' t see any need for a backup feature, too. It is just a chat, where you talk about unimportant subjects. Loosing that would not do any harm.

And as already been said, everyone who care about data would backup everything, everyone who does not care, won' t need that feature.

[Angel-Wings]

Hmm - related to the smiley retrival problem - dunno but it works fine until I set up more than 1 category - then both categories get mixed.

Modifying the mgc_cb_evo.php file and the SQL statement:


$getsmilies = $vbulletin->db->query_read ("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie ORDER BY displayorder ASC");



$getsmilies = $vbulletin->db->query_read ("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "smilie ORDER BY imagecategoryid, displayorder ASC");


Would display the smilies, sorted by category. Still sorting the categories like set, dunno - seems there's an additional query needed to read from the "imagecategory" table the imagetype and the ID's :(

[VBDev]

I think I already modified the sql query some time ago so that it takes into account the category.

I will have a look.

By the way, Next version will embed importers from most of the chatbox mods that exists :)

[thedark1]

How have you upgraded from 0.4 to 1.1.0 ??

uninstalled, then re-installed (just like a fresh install). I noticed though that some database tables were not created .... even tried to uninstall then install again 1.1.0 ... same problem, so finally i just had to create them manually. I still think this is very weird though, and i noticed that a couple of other people had similar issues.

If you have the time i can pm you my board cp to have a look around.

thanks

update: ok now this is really weird .... i just installed xcache, edited config.php so that the datastore would also use xcache, and now the inactive function works again .... i don't get it, this is really strange ...

I'm not able to use Chanel images not sure why it's not displaying it as I did what was described in the admin CP I see in firefox the word that I typed for the name of the channel in IE i see a box with a red X can you please tell me what to do to correct this issue?

Running 3.7.4 VB

[Deimos]

I'm running the latest version of VB, have installed the latest version of this chatbox and several things don't work properly.

When I click on the manage commands link, there's 7 entries, but they're all blank
If I try to edit them, I get a missing table error
I added the table manually, but it still doesn't show anything, I assume because the table is empty

Clicking manage channels brings up

Invalid SQL:

SELECT ch.*,co.syntax,co.title AS cotitle
FROM mgc_cb_evo_channel AS ch
LEFT JOIN mgc_cb_evo_command AS co ON (ch.cid=co.cid)
ORDER BY chanorder ASC;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'co.syntax' in 'field list'

I had an issue whereby a stickied chat message dissapeared, so I Wanted to find out who'd deleted it, but, the "View logs" page brings up a blank page and the log table is empty.

[thedark1]

Yes clearly ! Perhaps it was a cache problem and installing the new version fixed that

um....nope.... i didn't have any sort of caching at all previously, and 0.4 was working .... i installed a fresh version of xcache (not an upgrade to anything).
I don't think this has anything to do with caching though, i think it has more to do with the datastore options in config.php .... i was using filecache before, so maybe that's what the problem was.

[zelnik]

Hi, Been using this great chatbox for a while now..

But I'm hoping to be able to move it to a different location..

In a perfect scenario I would like it on the menu but also open in its own window and with none of the vB menus above it like when you use : mgc_cb_evo.php?do=view_chatbox

is this possible?

Whether the people do their admin functions is not my concern. Having a useful function is. This to me is.

Data loss to you is not any harm? That's what your reply implies. I know it's a chat, but I've also heard this god knows how many times... "I had something in the chat I needed." We all have done it. Just like you wipe your home computer, without fully ghosting it or backing up, thinking you pulled everything when OH CRAP..... That 1 file you didn't grab is gone. That's my only critical factor.

Ask yourself this, which is worse? Never being able to reproduce data, or being able to. If you lost 1 crucial document or the like, you will understand my reason. Other then that. Fdisk. ;)

[jerx]

I think sounds for new chatbox messages have been declined, haven' t they? I did not miss this feature before, but after I have seen someone asking another user for msn (because there you have alerts for incoming messages), I changed my mind. And to be honest I sometimes miss that feature, too.

I think it will help keeping the chatbox active. There are times, when there is no activity at all. But I know that some users just wait for other users to chat to. Those users often reply shortly after someone else posted a chat. Although I doubt that they are permanently active on my site, I think they have it open in a browser tab and check it every few minutes.

Of course the majority of users will not monitor the chatbox and will leave the site if they don' t get an anser quickly. These won' t need the sound, but the sound would help turning some of these users into regular chatbox users. Why? Because the sound gives the chabox "monitors" the chance to reply instantly instead of with a delay of some minutes.

Therefore I ask for sound for incoming chatbox messages. Users should be able to turn sound off and a profile setting would be good, too.

neither is solved. For the Arcade thing I did exactly as instructed. Still doesn't show

If you haven' t even solved the vbadvanced issue, you should not even think about integrating it somewhere else. There is a vbadvanced module and although it is made for an older chatbox version, it should work without any problem with the newest version. I have succesfully integrated the chatbox into vbadvanced and I think many others, too.

In my opinion no mod should have its own backup option. What is it worth beeing able to restore the mod data, if you cannot restore your forum? Therefore everyone who cares about his data should do a full backup.

It does not matter if you are on shared hosting or how long a full backup takes. It is mandatory to do so. If your hosting package cannot handle it, you might need to move to a bigger package anyway.

For me it is just a chat box. Of course there will be valuable information from time to time, but it is still no reason to backup the messages. Most of the time it is just small talk without any deeper meaning or any importance. But this might be different for other sites. If a company misuses it as a conference room, the situation completely changes.

In my opinion there are other things to do first before developing a backup feature. Anyways, this is not up to me. I am not the developer. vbdev must decide whether he wants to invest his time to code that feature.

[Ranger187]

The backup/restore is easy. I've done it many times for the chatbox. It's 2 tables I think. But then again I know what I'm doing and how to do it. You have to realize a lot of people learn from their mistakes.

I doubt the sound option will be added, but he can now add it as a plugin/option if he wants with the new re-write.

The problem with the backup is that exporting to a file would make a hugeeeeee file for somes forums. But exporting is not a problem, it's already done through the export feature in the archives.

However the import is what's causing problems coz of php timeout.

What I can say is that no I won't do it right now ! But why not in the future. It will depends of how the chatbox evolves, how I want to implement things and so on.

You know I develop the chatbox kinda only for fun but takes a huge amount aof time ! I don't own a forum at all, vB coding is just "a game" for me.

Sorry VBDev I know how busy you are.

Basically what I want to do is have your chatbox load from selecting it in the quick links menu.

But when it loads I want it to open in full display mode but in its own window and without the vB menus or anything like that..

So pretty much click a link and chatbox alone loads with nothing else in its own window.

Hope I'm being more clear now?

Thanks, much appreciated.

Improvement suggestion:

smilie pop up: give it the same look as default smilie pop up.
Meaning add the phrase "Click a smilie to insert it into your message." below page title and organize smilies in categories.

Right now you are unable to determine which category they belong to and you are not able to change smilie display order by changing the display order of the smilie categories.

You goto your /misc folder for all styles, copy the mgc dir into that. Say your site is www.turd.com (and that's where forums load) and locally on the server say it's d:\user\jewboy\turd.com

You'd goto d:\user\jewboy\turd.com\images\misc and in the zip, you'd goto the /images/misc and drop from there. Meaning, grab the mgc_cb_evo folder and subs and drag it to ur d:\user\jewboy\turd.com\images\misc , and doing so for any other styles...

What I do, and what others do is an assumption. Does everyone use smilies in this chat? No, Does everyone use the PM function? No. But having it as an option is not a drawback in any form. Why? I see things differently. ;) 1 being say a full backup of a database is 100+ megs. You tell me you've never had a large dB timeout exporting, importing etc. Would you rather export / import a 1 meg file, or 100 meg file? Whether the people do their admin functions is not my concern. Having a useful function is. This to me is. Let me know when you use shared hosting, and you have to have THEM do the import because you can't due to limitations etc. There is a reason for this.

For sure your points are all valid - just - if someone wants to backup, AdminCP -> Database Backup and then just selecting the Chatbox tables.
I just want to say it's maybe not required to invent the wheel a second time if already everything's there.
If you backup only the Chatbox tables, the resulting backup won't be that large - just - people would manually need to do it.

This should be exactly what you want, isn't it ? :)

In case of a complete data loss, backup would be that installing the Chatbox again, getting the tables created and then re-import the Chatbox Tables Backups - everything without a complete DB import.

Oh - and - I really never had a large timeout ;) I'm personally using a Master -> Slave replication on a very small backup server and from there again to my local home network.

Back to topic - like said - Backups of the Chatbox can already be done without doing a complete backup of the board DB via AdminCP, adding such a feature would maybe result in a more complex script and we all know - the more complex something is, the more hard it is to have it clean of any hidden bugs.

But - if the developer wants to add such a function, no problem as well :)

Speaking of which, any ETA on the 2.0 version?

[VBDev]

The release is ready but I am waiting for all my other products to be updated before I unleash it !

It's installed on my site and some others to ensure that there are no remaining bugs.

I can't wait for it! It looks ridiculous!

He he :) Haven't had a donation since a long time but that always a great reward, this is really nice and totally justified that you get some.

Maybe an option like:

My number of chats = Board's biggest Chatbox "Spammer" Chats + 1

:D

Sounds good. Hey BTW I was gonna mention this the other day but I completely forgot about it. When viewing my forum on an iPhone, for some reason the chatbox scroll bars don't show up. Any Ideas?

Lol on that one I honestly can't answer. I do have an iphone though but debugging wouldn't be that easy.

I'll check on safari on my mac to see if I don't have any problem as iphone embeds safari too.

[Ranger187]

Format the mac, problem solved. ;)

Bug found. You are unable to use " in a private message to someone through the chat box. When you do so, the message won't send.

[Tekmon]

I added this to my file as required "var SECURITYTOKEN = "0";"
and I still get the missing security token message...

I am running vb 3.7.4 patch level 1 and have also tried "var SECURITYTOKEN = 0;" which someone else suggested. We also only use one skin.

This is a fresh install of the chatbox as I uninstalled the old version.

I would really like to get this working soon.

How did you experienced that ? By entering the whole command syntax or in a different way ?

With vB3.7.4 DO NOT put the var securitytoken thing !!! This for earlier version not your version of vB as stated in the readme.

[Tekmon]

Thanks for the feed back, However I only put the "var SECURITYTOKEN="0"" in because we got the message that the security token was missing...

I have taken it out again, per your message and we still get the exact same message that we are missing the security token. Anything else I can try?

You can try :

Check that you have uploaded all the new files
Refresh your cache

[Tekmon]

I uninstalled and removed every mgc file I could find and then did a complete reinstall ensuring that every file in the files folder was coppied tothe forumns directory. I moved all of the images to the standard images folder as well as my greenskin images folder.

I still get the missing security token message when I try to post in the chat box...

Any other ideas?

Try using firefox and pull up the error console and see what errors it gives. You shouldn't be using that Var token key.

[Tekmon]

Thank you for the suggestion Ranger187, it says the following

Chatbox_ask_name is not defined
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo.js

Any help?

[Skyrider]

Oh oh damned

I'm clicking on the arrow, selected "Send private chat" and added the " in the chat. It never sends the message.

Small feature request by the way.. Is it possible you can add it so people can't spam the chat box? having a "line per minute" rule? So people are forced to edit their own chats?

[VBDev]

Then you haven't refreshed your cache nor have uploaded the newer js files.

Ok will track the bug !

Hum yes that's a good suggestion but will not be in the next release as it's finished.

[Tekmon]

Thanks for your help but I have now rebooted my www servers and rebooted my home machine so any cache I have should be cleared, right???

I still have the same message.

[VBDev]

No no I meant your browser cache :)

[Tekmon]

well it is not just me, none of my users or admins can get it to work.... I am at a loss. I have uploaded the latest files, all of them and still it gives me the error:

chatbox_ask_name is not defined
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo.js line 498

[VBDev]

None has experienced such issues.
Only thing that could cause such problem :

The js files are not up-to-date
You have a modified version of the mgc_cb_evo template which is not reverted
Your browser cache is not refreshed (same for all of your users)

[Fivetide]

I just get lots of errors for some reason

Can't wait for the new version. Everything has been improved.

[nerofix]

is it possible to disallow posting www links?

[VBDev]

is it possible to disallow posting www links?

You mean totally disallow ? No it's not possible.

What you can do is avoid url to be parsed and thus not being replaced by links but that's all.

By the way there is no good way to avoid users to post urls as for example you could be able to remove an url like this :
http://***************
but if the user add spaces :
ht ttp://***************

Then it won't be removed... Do you see what I mean?

As it is already (half) announced I was wondering if MGC Chatbox Evo could have/use a similar font, fontsize, and fontcolour menue as used with vB perhaps?
Or if it would be easily possible to adjust this?

It already does.

[entertain]

okay like having asked you in skype and you was not sure about this, i'll post it here, so that you will not forget it. ;)

Is it possible to give a usergroup only the permissions to delete their own shouts?

[Taragon]

It already does.

In that case I?m not really sure if we?re talking about the same thing, since it isn?t at vb-hacks.org.

I understand it can?t be 100% identical, but if the global experience of the dropdown menus would match (or at least having the fonts menu the same height as the size and color menu) this would be great.

Yes but that won't be in the next release which is closed for coding (currently being translated in different languages).

No we weren't talking about the same thing.

It's not possible to make it match the menu in the post creation as these are wysiwyg things being part of vB js stuff. And I am not allowed to copy paste their code on those parts you now (copyright issues).

Hi,

I would like to completely uninstall the chatbox and reinstall it again, including all tables in the database. Physical files are ok, I can delete them no probs, but I'm not sure what to delete in the database, can anyone give some pointers please?

Thanks! :)

VBdev should have the newest file to translate. He should reply shortly. Next release should be out soon. No date has been sent, but I'd expect it within next 2 weeks.
