Nice Chatbox !

I am currently using my own Shoutbox (code based on an oooooooooooold shoutbox for vb 3.5 with severals improvements) but i may consider switching to MGC Chatbox Evo one day :)

Some requests tho' :

- About dating : an option using the vB "Yesterday" date format would be cool, instead of displaying always a date. Another option to disable date display (only displaying hours:minutes) for the chats of the day would help making display clearer.

- About defaut channel : would be nice to have more flexibility in there. E.G. when Chatbox is displayed on some pages, it displays Chan 1 as the default one. But on another it can display Chan 2 (or whatever) by default.

- About channels display : what about a mode "display all at once" (with permission checking of course) that would display all chats from all channels but with a different color for each channel. Messy for chatboxes with heavy activity but helpfull for chatboxes with low activity.

Does the post action box on the right of the chats box belong to MGC Chatbox (at forumcoding)? If you collapse the chatbox, those actions are not hidden (IE7).

Yes it's a new feature. I will add other actions in later chatbox versions (we could imagine having arcade actions, and so on ;)).

By not hidden what did you meant ?

I see the collapsed chatbox (as a guest) like this:
90775
Firefox 3.0.5
:( is there a way to get a copyright-free chatbox ?

Seems like perhaps there is a bug in the sql retrieval query, I'll look into it.

About the copyright free, I perhaps will release a branding free version (non free one). The add of this copyright is, as you might imagine, to state whom work it is (as every copyright is ;)).

Nice Chatbox !
- About dating : an option using the vB "Yesterday" date format would be cool, instead of displaying always a date. Another option to disable date display (only displaying hours:minutes) for the chats of the day would help making display clearer.

It's possible to hide the date from the chatbox (as well as the time but less usefull lol).

About the Yesterday thing, why not but not sure it's that useful ? (Unless others are interested).

- About defaut channel : would be nice to have more flexibility in there. E.G. when Chatbox is displayed on some pages, it displays Chan 1 as the default one. But on another it can display Chan 2 (or whatever) by default.

It's an intersting idea. How do you see this handled ?

Adding in the channel definition the THIS_SCRIPT var content for example as for the show on defined pages option.

- About channels display : what about a mode "display all at once" (with permission checking of course) that would display all chats from all channels but with a different color for each channel. Messy for chatboxes with heavy activity but helpfull for chatboxes with low activity.

I don't see how this mod would be handled. Like a button you push to set the chatbox in display all at once mode ?

A suggestion I have for the Chatbox is to display the date with the Today and Yesterday mode.

So all chats made today would be something like:
Today 10:48 PM Emisand: Hello

It could be made, by adding this: $vbulletin->options['yestoday'] when using vbdate() function.

VBDev

I think I meant the same as entertain. If you are viewing your forum as a guest and you click the collapse icon, the chats (messages the users have posted in the chatbox) disappear, but the new feature is still visible. It still shows user x replied to thread y, etc.

I think it's normal cause the new features makes notifications still being chats but just separated when the chatbox is expanded.

But it's strange coz it seems like it's all the time. I'll look into fixing it.

Yes I know that ;) But I won't use that option as I want it to be separated from default vBoptions, as the date formats are.

I am anyway adding it to the todo list.

The number of user shouldn't make it lag. It's not dependent of number of users online.

But rather to refresh rate.

12-20-2008, 06:50 PM

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).
I understand :nodding disappointed: :D

Would it be possible/do you know where to edit the height of the [Fonts] drop down menu instead perhaps? Just to give it the same height as the font-height and font-color menu?

Also, do you perhaps know how to get rid of both the left and right bracket around [Fonts]?
I've been looking in both the templates and phrases, but I seem to be overlooking them.

I have gone through the instructions in the install but, I don't see the chatbox anywhere on my site... I have a custom style but, I also did the instructions for that section as well... I even changed it back to the default style and still don't see it. Any ideas?

Check your user group permissions...

You have to define user groups, that able to view/use Chatbox.

As far as I remember, permissions are not predefined by installation.

You have to add the vB default image or make a copy of the one used on your forum and rename that copy to menu_open.gif.

emisand

12-21-2008, 12:16 AM

where is that icon set at?

Look at the chatbox, right click above "Submit Query" and then click at properties.
Then at Image properties there you get the image address.
So check if you have the image in that address, if not, upload it there.

hey i was wondering how you would import a new language to the chat box. i have tried using the vbulletin languages and phrases but i get this message

The file you attempted to import only contains phrases and none of the settings required. You will be unable to make a new language with this file.

id apreciate any help thnx

What version chat is this? Was the install an upgrade or new install? What version forums are you using?

Right from the readme included in the zip:

4/ Go in your admincp, in the Language manager > Download/Upload language file and then :
- Select the language file from the "Lang" directory
- Select the forum language to overwrite
- Set the ignore language verison to Yes
- Launch upload

After the install all it does is say "Loading" on the chat box and it's also not in English. I installed the English language file. However, in my admincp some of the options are in a different language and the chat box language is not English?

Any help would be appreciated?

Hehe.... It won't display because you didn't edit usergroups. You didn't read the readme fully. Loading issue how to fix is in the readme as well. Did you add the var security edit? ;) Did you upload all the files and into the correct locations? ie: drag/drop full contents.

As for the english language, you didn't import the english language file, or you didn't read the readme and select the options it says. Or you didn't refresh the admincp after.

If you need help, you can also IM me.

I uploaded the English language file following the instructions. Most, but not all is in English. I did enable all the settings for the usergroups. I can see the chat box, but it just says loading.....

In the English read me file there is nothing that explains a fix for the "Loading.." problem. It's not mentioned anywhere in my readme file, so I am stuck.

And not all of the chat box icons will display. A couple of the icons won't display, but others will. They are all loaded into the right directory.

I did place var SECURITYTOKEN = "0"; into the .js file indicated in the read me. However, it is still not working.:confused:

Just viewing that image, I can tell where most of the issue is. ;) Ya didn't upload everything. Because I see text links instead of the images. So that means you probably poo poo'd the install.

Recopy ALL the files over this time. Reimport the product (checking the overwrite option) and then reimport the laguage file. And you wouldn't know about the loading issue fix with the var token if you didn't read the readme. I just forget how it's worded in there...

But I think you are running apache and don't have mod_security configured. ;)

Yes, it is Apache. However, I'm unfamiliar with mod_security.

Upgrade from the version 1.0.0 or newer
The upgrade instructions are the following:

1. Upload the content of the Files folder in your forum root.
2. Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories.
3. Log into the admin control panel of your forum and import the product located in the Product folder.
4. Go in the Download/Upload item of the Language manager menu and then:
1. Select the English language file from the Lang folder.
2. Select the forum language to overwrite.
3. Set the Ignore language version option to YES.
4. Launch the upload.
5. Edit the posbit and postbit_legacy templates and add:

where you want the number of chats of the users to appear in their posts on the forum (if you activate the option).
6. You have succesfully upgraded your chatbox, you just have now to set the new permissions and options.
7. If you plan on using the option to display users number of chats in the postbit and/or in the profile, go in your admin control panel and run the update counter script from the chatbox menu in order that the older chats gets taken into account.

So if have read this right I do not need to remove the old files first before I up grade this now ?

I am running MGC_Chatbox_Evo_0.1.1

And Thanks for the chatbox

Yes i have the addon for Chatbox. Chatbox 1.1.0 have good funktion on my Portal Chatbox 2.0.2 not.

The js codes have changed so perhaps the addon is not compatible.

Ask the author of the vBCms addon.

Upgrade from the version 1.0.0 or newer
The upgrade instructions are the following:

1. Upload the content of the Files folder in your forum root.
2. Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories.
3. Log into the admin control panel of your forum and import the product located in the Product folder.
4. Go in the Download/Upload item of the Language manager menu and then:
1. Select the English language file from the Lang folder.
2. Select the forum language to overwrite.
3. Set the Ignore language version option to YES.
4. Launch the upload.
5. Edit the posbit and postbit_legacy templates and add:

where you want the number of chats of the users to appear in their posts on the forum (if you activate the option).
6. You have succesfully upgraded your chatbox, you just have now to set the new permissions and options.
7. If you plan on using the option to display users number of chats in the postbit and/or in the profile, go in your admin control panel and run the update counter script from the chatbox menu in order that the older chats gets taken into account.So if have read this right I do not need to remove the old files first before I up grade this now ?

I am running MGC_Chatbox_Evo_0.1.1

And Thanks for the chatbox

Nope you don't but becareful you're reading the wrong update instructiosn as you run a version older than 1.0.0.

crazyfalcon

12-25-2008, 07:31 PM

yes I see that now.
So I can just upgrade it with out any removing any old files
Man that is a big help thanks

Upgrade from a version prior to 1.0.0

The changes introduced in the 1.0.0 version of the chatbox were far too deep, I thus have decided not to provide an import script for this version. As a consequence, you will be loosing all your chats while upgrading to this version.

The upgrade instructions are the following:

1. In the products manager of the admin control panel, remove the two products of the chatbox (the basic one and the commands one).
2. Upload the content of the Files folder in your forum root.
3. Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories.
4. Log into the admin control panel of your forum and import the product located in the Product folder.
5. Go in the Download/Upload item of the Language manager menu and then:
1. Select the English language file from the Lang folder.
2. Select the forum language to overwrite.
3. Set the Ignore language version option to YES.
4. Launch the upload.
6. Edit the posbit and postbit_legacy templates and add:

where you want the number of chats of the users to appear in their posts on the forum (if you activate the option).
7. You have succesfully installed the new version of the chatbox, you have to now set the usergroup permissions, options, commands and eventually create channels.
8. If you plan on using the option to display users number of chats in the postbit and/or in the profile, go in your admin control panel and run the update counter script from the chatbox menu in order that the older chats gets taken into account.

I hope this is the one you are talking about ?

No no you have to uninstall the two chatbox products that you certainly have (hum perhpas in the 0.1.1 version there wasn't two versions if so then you just have to remove one).

I think there is a typing mistake of quote?

2)

Row heights of Opera and internet explorer are different.
Check 2 screens below.

When a new thread is posted or a reply is given, alert at the chatbox is visible to unregistered users. But once the user is logged on, everything is as supposed to be.

Of course now that I have installed the new version I get the infinite "Loading" issue once again. I have tried all the old "hacks" and tricks that I used to get it working on v1.1 but I still can't get it past "Loading" on the new version. I have kept my modded .htaccess file for the mod_security fix, I have added the var SECURITYTOKEN = 0 to my .js files, and deleted the customavatar.height_thumb etc etc strings from the PHP files. Nothing working yet. :(

Yeah I'm having mad issues with the new version. First off my archives are not showing up as well, just as described by Brood. I'm using FF 3.0.5, here is what the archives look like. Also I have my archives set to display 100 chats per page which works fine in the 1.1.0 version but not 2.2.0, in 2.2.0 it only shows like 10 or 20.

New Archives Page (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/DSMKilla1/new2.jpg)

Old Archives Page (http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/DSMKilla1/old2.jpg)

Also below in the first picture is what my chatbox used to look like with 1.1.0 and the second picture is what it looks like now. You'll notice how my chats aren't separated by the gradient columns anymore, everything is just one color. I'm not sure if that is a change or if it's an issue or what.

SnapOff did you use to have modified version of the chatbox template ?

Becareful in the new version of the chatbox now archives only shows chats from last 24 hours then you have to use the select box to view more chats.

Negative, no template edits on anything. It looks like the new version is ignoring my "Second Alternating Color (Customized in this Style)" that is listed under "All Style Options" in my Style Manager. For example, right now using the 1.1.0 version if I go into my forum style directory and delete the file "alt2_bg.gif" which is the file that is listed as my "Second Alternating Color" then my 1.1.0 ChatBox will look like it does in the 2.2.0 version. So something in the 2.2.0 version is causing it to NOT load that CSS option or something.

When you say "use select box to view more chats" what option are you talking about? I don't have any archive pages like I used to which can be seen in the pics I posted.

For the new version to take the second alternating color into account, you need to activate the option which I think you did ?

The option I am talking about for the select box is a new dropdown menu on the left in the archives.

Ahhhh sneeky sneeky
Alternate colors
Alternate the chats background color

OK I enabled that and now it's working perfect. I also figured out that since I had edited the archives template in the old version that when I upgraded it did not overwrite the new template. I reverted the template and now I see the drop down box that you were talking about. Thanks!

Why did you take away the smilies and formatting buttons on the chatbox? My users use that pretty extensively.

They are still there but you have to ENABLE the options for each usergroup. Goto "UserGroup Manager > Registered Users > MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions > and then you will see the two options that say...
Can use the BBCODE (if active)
Can use the smileys (if active)

You need to see the author for the Vba addon. STangger. It's listed in the very top here.

And they don't have the active support like MGC does. Tell me, when's the last time you know of that that someone spent 40 hours during a weekend helping all the people installing the chat and made $0 and has no affiliation with the chatbox itself? WEll, it was me. And we have others here that do that as well.. So you see a 1 line advertisement, it's not like googleads are being displayed. Take some vicodin and a beer and smile.

I must admit that MGC is a hard worker and does stand by his mod! Guy is a hell of a person to deal with all the hassle. But on the flip side I have noticed more donations for this mod than damn near any other mod that I have seen. Personally I am a little disappointed in the new branding that is below the chatbox. I have had quite a few offers from local motorsports shops that want to advertise for cash but I won't do it because I just don't like looking at all that garbage, I don't think anyone else does either . Especially people that get on the forum on a daily basis, it just becomes a nuisance to look at. The branding in the ARCHIVES is fine with me but the one under the chatbox looks just a little tacky IMO. Honestly I think the one under the chatbox should have been used for some kinda announcement feature or something :D

Using 3.6.8, installed as described but no go for me.

Looks like Javascript is not working or Ajax, I'm not sure because I know nothing about coding.

I have set up all the options, redid my usergourps, etc and also cleared my cache.

1 - Looks like the cookies are not working to get rid of the bbcodes or smilies

2- Can type a message but as soon as I press Enter or click Go, the entire page reloads and my forumhome page disappears completely leaving me with a Empty chatbox (without even having the message I just typed).

3- Get a database error when clicking on my portal page (vbAdvanced CMPS)

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT js_file,phpcode_chatbox_display FROM vb_mgc_cb_evo_command WHERE active='1';

Bugzilla shows the following error. But for me the chatbox is working fine. :confused:

I don't understand your problem. You mean there is an error in bugzilla but then it still works ?

what is this error can u help me?

You have certainly an older version of vB (prior to 3.6.10), check the readme file for explanation.

Also....after installing this, my chatbox shows all of the correct history, but when I go into the archives there are only a few lines there and none of the full history.

It's because now archives are limited by date (showing 1 day archives by default) but then you have a dropdown to select to see more.

If you don't see that dropdown it's because you haven't reverted all your chatboxes templates.

Marked as uninst alled. You can write me off. There's too many other free chatboxes out there that don't require advertising.

Up to you... Bitwise it's not advertising it's just copyright for long hours of work...

vBulletin has a copyright at the bottom, do you remove it ? I don't think so...

im sorry, but how much is the branding free version? you should post that, as it's a pain to sign up for yet another forum, and it's not posted anywhere until you click buy now...

Sorry should put it here in the first thread the BF is 20$ but will not be just a BF version as I said.
It will be updated regularly with small plugins (like other notifications for blog, and so on).

It's cool man don't get all worked up, I wasn't trying to imply that you have received millions of dollars in donations and that should be enough, I was simply stating that compared to other mods people love this one and it's obvious that people appreciate your hard work hence all the donations compared to other mods. Being a fellow software dev I speak from experience when I say "WRITING CODE SUCKS!" and I understand where your coming from. Trust me, if your branding bothered me that much I would just remove it.

No, I wanted to say that there is maybe an error in your ajax code, which is not fatal.

But maybe it has something to do with that, that a few users reportet, having to reload the page, before they are able to see their own shouts or the shouts of an other person. ;)

Alright found a couple more issues with the "Archives".

First when I do a search in the archives say for example I search for the word "Hello", well if the results return more than one page of results and I try to click on another page, it returns the error of "That user doesn't exist!" See video... (http://s178.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/DSMKilla1/archive_search_issue.flv&fs=1&os=1&ap=1)

Second: If I try selecting the option "The Beginning" in the archives, the page refreshes and then returns back to "Yesterday". If I select anything else it works fine so it seems like the only one that isn't working is "The Beginning"... See Video...

Hi Cybershaolin,

I think you have not followed the correct instructions.

Seems like you are still having the old version of the php files from the 0.1.1 version of the chatbox. Hit me up on my new forum in the chatbox.

Well I had version 0.1.2. What I did was uninstall the old version as requested in the upgrade readme info since I had a version prior to 1.0 and I also removed all files before uploading the new ones and then install the new product.

I'm sure I have followed the exact instructions. I forgot to say I was testing locally. When it will work I will put it Live.

For the vbadvance error, I think the mistake I made was to not upgrade the module to 1.7... I'll try that later today.

But for the rest, like I said, I just can't do anything in the chatbox.Nothing works. When I click on GO or if I hit enter, the entire page reloads and my forumhome page disappears completely leaving me with a Empty chatbox (without even having the message I just typed).

Anyhow, it's not working at all

Well the fact that it doesn't work locally is possible because the js files from yui re retrieved online and perhaps your firewall blocks that.

As I do know you I can install it for you on your forum as a gift to an old client ;)

The new archives dropdown was introduced in order to lower the load on the server (problem of huge amounts of chats to parse which could lead to slowness).

Yup, overwritten the english language twice.

When I am not in full chat box view, the older posts in the chat seem to disappear. When I am in full chat box view, the older posts are there.

Any suggestions?

If need be, I can provide a picture.

If you have activated the notification system it's normal.

Each notification is considered as a chat ! (To avoid adding one query)

AGREED!!! haha I have been needing that feature for a long time. I usually have to go into MySQL Administrator and delete them directly from the database. So a select all tick PER ARCHIVE page would be great. That way you could tick like all the shouts on a certain page and then delete all the shouts on that page. :up:

Loving this new chatbox. It helps greatly with the live feed.

One idea for the next box, if not planted already.

The ability to not have certain forums show up in the new threads & posts.

Unless this is already a possibility, then ignore my stupidity. =)

It's because now archives are limited by date (showing 1 day archives by default) but then you have a dropdown to select to see more.

If you don't see that dropdown it's because you haven't reverted all your chatboxes templates.

In which case, I have found a bug. When you select "the beginning" in the drop down, it still only shows today. When I select 120 days, I do indeed get all my history.

Why are the counts wrong also? I have users that have posted hundreds of times and only show about 75 or 80 posts.

PS...like the new version, great job.

1. The "images" folder in your package now says "Images" which is completely
different (on linux for example)

2. You had to use "tborder" as a background-colour to display your copyright tag ?!
Now it sticks out like a sore thumb..
Adding a note to the footer (like everyone else does) would have been sufficient, dont you think?

.. therefore uninstalling

Well the fact that it doesn't work locally is possible because the js files from yui re retrieved online and perhaps your firewall blocks that.

As I do know you I can install it for you on your forum as a gift to an old client ;)

I'll do my best to try making it working locally and see what happens first. If I don't succeed, I'l reach you in order to do per your proposition.

I have one question here: In the readme (for versions prior to 3.6.10), it says:

In order to override this problem, edit the mgc_cb_evo.js and add at the top of the file :

var SECURITYTOKEN = '0';

Well, where is "mgc_cb_evo.js" file located? I cannot find it. In "clienscript", I only see these:

mgc_cb_evo_functions.js
mgc_cb_evo_header.js
mgc_cb_evo_static.js

So, do you mean to edit all three files? Because, in the instructions, it's not that clear.

One more suggestion: For PC users, your packages are hard to follow because of all these MAC files... This is very annoying (Just a personal remark from myself, maybe it does not bother other people at all).

THANKS to "pedroenf" for posting those fixes up, I was able to switch back to 2.0.2 because of those fixes.

For anyone who is intrested, I bypassed the drop down box in the archives so that now all the archive pages just show up by default like they did in the last version. That way people can get into their archives until VBDev gets it handled.

In the file `mgc_cb_evo.php`

#######
FIND
#######
/* Hide warning notifications */
$where_clause .= " AND iswarning='0'";

####################
BELOW THAT REMOVE
####################
/* Days limit */
$dlimit = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'dlimit', TYPE_INT);
if ($dlimit == 0)
{
$dlimit = 1;
}

if ($dlimit != -1)
{
$dateline_limit = TIMENOW - ($dlimit * 86400);
$where_clause .= " AND c.dateline>'" . $dateline_limit . "'";
}

For those who downloaded the previous zip file there was a small bug in the javascript for vB3.6 versions.

Please upload this new javascript file in the clientscript/mgc_cb_evo directory.

Also, was this already corrected in the branding free version on your forum?

I really don't understand what the big deal is with the copyright? :confused:

You know people likes to get things for free and if no copyright was there they would just love that ...

What they don't see is the time you spent on developping the software ... And that somehow you could ask for a little recognition by accepting the copyright...

I just checked to see if my "Who is in the chatbox display" was working and mine is working fine as well. Might wanna just make sure you uploaded everything. The who is in the chatbox display will show up under the chatbox just so you know.

It could also be in tab in the case that you selected it to be in a tab either than below the chatbox (it's an option).
