Here again visual explanation for another problem with your chat (VB ver. 3.8.1, Chat ver. 2.3.0)

1. I just type and read messages, and this was happened!?!?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/9.jpg

2. If I reply, this problem persist!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/10.jpg

3. Others replys also have some problem (you can see that I must scroll down slidebar to see a full message)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/11.jpg

4. This time I just click on any other custom channel, and then return to General channel, and this problem NOW is corrected!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/12.jpg

BUT, sometimes this procedure not helps :( Sometimes, I need to refresh page, sometimes I must close browser,...... I still cannot find reason for this problem..... I just type and read messages.... and sometimes this problem shows.....

I think you have your vBulletin for testing, and maybee you can set input field bottom and older first, and test your chat for a long time.... Maybee, try to test it from time to time couple hours (do not close browser)..... Maybee you'll see this problem?!

I just want to tell you that your chat version 1.5 don't have this problem with this settings!!!!

Sometimes I have a problem where if foreign characters are used (such as Japanese) the text stops appearing. It doesn't happen all the time, but it only happens when foreign characters are used. Sorry if it was mentioned already, I didn't see it scanning back through the pages.

What you can try is changing the chat text field of the mgc_cb_evo_chat table to utf8.

A fellow administrator installed and then uninstalled this but the settings are still listed on usergroups and now we cannot modify usergroups due to:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'mgc_cb_evo_permissions' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054
Request Date : Thursday, March 26th 2009 @ 01:59:52 AM
Error Date : Thursday, March 26th 2009 @ 01:59:52 AM
usergroupid=6
Classname : vB_Database
MySQL Version : 5.0.67-community

How can I remove this?

What I need to know how to do is how to remove the MCG ChatBox Evo Custom Permissions from the UserGroup Administration page. I reinstalled the addon and then uninstalled it and I still have this at the bottom of my usergroup settings: http://www.screen-shot.net/ss/664945965867.png

How do I get rid of it?

Well your admin should have read the uninstall instructions ...

To remove this error remove the cahtbox files from the includes/xml directory.

every one who has said its not refreshing is useing IE i use firefox and never have any probs but there is one or 2 say it dosnt refresh. even wen i was using v2.2.1 i didnt have eny probs just every one else lol

So it's working well on firefox but not on ie on your website that's right ?

yes im using filezilla, mind telling me how to upload correctly? thanks

Check your filezilla options, the other users where using filezilla too and had problems.

Try removing files and then upload them rather than overwriting.

I tried looking but couldn't find anything. Is there a reason that I wouldn't be able to see the .gif images that I have uploaded to the images/misc/mgc_cb_evo_channels directory?

Well unless you are not using your ftp software I don't know, I am not behind your mouse ;)

Ok On the right hand side of chat, there is the +/- to expand collapse chat.

If in Admincp, we have chat as Newest First, in chats display ( i think it is )

Then when we collapse chat it totally collapses, as it should.

If we select Oldest First, which is our users preferred choice (Chats display order)

Then when you select minimize ( ie collapse chat ) the chat collapses and then pops back out to about 1/2 its original height.

Even tho no one is chatting.

Ste

There is no total collapse unless u set the chats in collapsed mode to 0, otherwise the editor dissapear but the latest X chats appears.

Installed yesterday, works perfectly, but slows page loading up :(

Apart from that gr8 :)

Well chatbox what do you call slow page loading ?

Issue is when you have a smiley posted in a chat alone. In that case the inner height of the chatbox is not updated correctly by the browser and thus the chatbox doesn't display it correctly and an offset is appearing.

I haven't found any way to get over that sorry.

Is there an easy way to display who's online in the chatbox window?

It's an option.

Members that do not have permission to see the archives, can see the link to the archives. This seems to be a bug.

Oh really ? That's possible, I am adding this to the bug list for later check, thanks for the report.

I need to know how to remove the ChatBox options from the Usergroup management after uninstallation - when I ran the uninstall the permission settings didn't go away and now I cannot modify any usergroups.

Check readme ...

You have to remove the chatbox files (especially in the includes/xml directory).

This is the one of many times I am repeating this...

Ok, so I had turned the chat off for a moment, adn turned it back on, and I don't see the chat room... This is making me very frustrated *sigh*

Disabled how ? Through disable chatbox option in the acp ?

:( In your old ver. 1.5 everything was OK.... I hope so that you'll find solution for this version. OK, in pic#1 is posted just smilie, but on pic#2 answer is just text and pic#3 text+smilie and again it's not display chats correctly. Also, this problem is not display ALWAYS?! I believe in YOU and Your skils (I have use ver. 1.5 for a long time and everything was working well), and You need just enough time and a little luck to find a problem...... Good Luck! :)

Thanks in advance m8

VBDev

03-30-2009, 04:11 AM

Yes but between pic#1 and pic#2 you haven't refreshed the page so the chatbox inner height is still known as wrong in the javascript.

And I can tell you that I already searched quite a few hours on that issue ...

I hope someone can help me that may have had the same problem. I installed this last night and imported all message from Cyb's Chatbox. They loaded up just fine and displayed in the Chatbox. This morning I have an empty chatbox. I can go into full mode and it's still empty but I can go into the archive and see all of the messages. I type a message in the chatbox and only my message shows up. It's like the old messages have been permantly archived. Is that an option I have over looked?

What you can try is changing the chat text field of the mgc_cb_evo_chat table to utf8.

Not sure if I'm understanding this. I looked at the mgc_cb_evo_chat table and the closest thing I see to chat text is ctext. Right now its type is "mediumtext" so is this what should be changed to utf8? I'm also not very savvy with mysql so I'm not entirely sure how to change it if that's the case.

My apologies. I'm still fairly new to the adminstrative and technical end of vB, so knowing what information you need would be awesome. I'm using CuteFTP professional. I have 3 of the same image for each channel in there, with the _sel, _nosel and _new suffixes. Is this not what I'm supposed to do?

Nope, you have the table encoding type for this field which is something containing "latin" in it and which need to be changed to utf8.

For me it does hang every once in awhile if I'm sitting on a page, it happens different times.

I asked my members if they had a problem with the CB to please let me know, well one member posted this... If I get anymore I'll let you know.

The only problem I myself is facing is it does freeze once in awhile, as I've said above.

I can't use the chatbox in IE. Not IE 6, 7, OR 8. This is because the chatbox slows the entire thing to a crawl sometimes, and also if you try to type in the chatbox, the text goes so slowly that long after I'm done typing I'm still waiting for the text to appear in the typing box! By the time all my text is done typing itself out, the conversation has moved on, LOL

The refresh thingy in IE is severely broken and "hangs". It doesn't cause the site to hang, it just stops refreshing, and so in order to keep up with the conversation in the CB, I'd pretty much have to just sit there hitting the refresh key all day.

I'm getting "blank messages" from people showing up in the CB, I already sent you a screenie of that.

In firefox the CB seems to run as normal, except I do get the refresh issues happening now and again without reason.

And this is one issue she was talking about a screen shot

Maybe I uploaded it to wrong location? For example the content of file folder has admincp folder and a mgc_cb_evo.php file. So I copied the mgc_cp_evo.php to my admincp folder. I didnt just drag the Files folder to the root.

For the images, same thing. It contains the folder misc and I copied the contents of that folder to my images folder.

Open the chat zip. Extract it. Find every file on the server that's in the zip, delete them. Reupload the chat. You can fix most of it in ftp. If it's hosted somewhere, plesk or cpanel should have phpmyadmin.

OK.

Not been happy with the new 3.8 version since we installed it ( no offence VBdev )

So uninstalled.

Then installed our older version. [vB3.6.x-vB3.7.x]MGC_Chatbox_Evo_0.4.0]

This then threw up lots of mysql erros, after reloading language file. And then doing permissions in Usergroups.

Now we cannot even revert to this version.

Is all hope lost ??

Any suggestions please

Hum can you copy here the errors please coz I can't help you without a inch of error text ;)

Uninstalled the bloody lot and getting this now !

Getting what ? I don't see anything.

Have you ensured javascript files were uploaded correctly ?

How is your javascript loading set in chatbox options (local or YUI server) ?

Do you see any error in the error console on Firefox ?

I've 2 styles. One is normal & the another one is tab version. In the tabbed style if I choose ChatBox below forums then it won't display. Then I did edit the Chatbox display on forumhome plugin. Replaced
$find = '$forumhome_markread_script';
$brb = ' <br />';
$bra = ' ';
With
$find = '';
$brb = ' ';
$bra = ' <br />';
Having one problem though! There is extra space on the top of the chatbox. Any help? Check the attachment!

I upgraded from 2.2.0 (I also made sure to run the upgrade script as well.)

I've also switched back and forth between running the YUI direct from yahoo and from the server, but still having the chat get stuck on the "Loading..." screen or stuck on the chat screen without refreshing.

Hey,

Just installed the new version on 3.8.2 and so far everything is fine except the few questions I have.

1- Everytime I get an error or other message from the chatbox, I can't see it untill I highlight it.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

And here is after highlight...
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

So how do i change the text color so its black or something.

2- I wanted a custom location to put the chat on the forumhome so I did the following change:

From:
$find = '$forumhome_markread_script';
$brb = ' <br />';
$bra = ' ';

TO:
$find = '';

I deleted $brb = ' <br />'; AND $bra = ' '; because I figured the "$brb = ' <br />';" is what gave me the extra space above the chatbox and "$bra = ' ';" removed the 5% spacer I had on my fluid template and made it full screen. I don't know why or what it was supposed to do in the first place. So is it ok that i removed those 2 lines?

Also, is it ok i changed the plugin instead of just pasting the custom code in any location i wanted to? Does this mean it will add an extra query to the database since this new location its looking for is not cached?

3- In the top row of the chatbox, it shows the chatbox name centered. How can I make it so its aligned to the left?

4- The page loads really quick, as usual, but when it reaches the place with the chatbox location, it kinda stops to think for a few seconds. i also noticed this on Forumcoding site as well. Is this normal, will there be a way to reduce that load time, Or is that just the way it is?

BTW, I own the BF version, if that makes any difference in the changes i would need to make for above changes.

Thanks

We have been v2.3.0 with vb 3.8.1 and everything is working fairly well. We have added some stuff mentioned here as causing problems like an arcade but so far so good.

One thing we found early on was having chat open in multiple pages was a drag on our resources. Perhaps those having problems might look to that as a source of their troubles

Members like the command functions, specially the me and slap,

My admins like the announcement commands

Would it also be possible to add a "you" command? kinda miss that one

Ste

Well I don't remember coz there is no real vB3.8 version you know. Chatbox is compatible with both versions from vB3.6 to vB3.8.

What's wrong for you with the last releases ?

I think you might try something like 2.0.0 or kinda like.

I am having major refresh issues with the 2.3.2 version. Most of the time the refresh stops working after a minute or two, or doesn't work at all. (It IS enabled!)

I upgraded from 2.2.0 (I also made sure to run the upgrade script as well.)

I've also switched back and forth between running the YUI direct from yahoo and from the server, but still having the chat get stuck on the "Loading..." screen or stuck on the chat screen without refreshing.

It refreshes at first but then get stucked ?

Any error in the error console of firefox ? (or in firebug firefox extension i fyou have it)

Is there a way to get the chatbox to display on the vbBlogs homepage and members blogs?

I think you can as chatbox can be displayed in any vBulletin page, you just have to configure the location options in the chatbox settings.

hi....really can't make this chatbox to my site vB3.6.8. also the language can't upload it...due to wrong version....can anyone help me on this please...

:(

As stated in the readme you have to select "Ignore language version" when importing the language file.

"really can't make this chatbox to my site" <= how can I help you if you don't give any details ?

VBDev

04-08-2009, 06:22 AM

Yes...

Have you a Idea how i can Fix it?

greeting Indy

I will post a corrected german language as stated in post just above :)

1- Everytime I get an error or other message from the chatbox, I can't see it untill I highlight it.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

And here is after highlight...
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

So how do i change the text color so its black or something.

This is YUI css, I think I posted a hint here in the thread on how to fix this if you are experiencing the issue.

2- I wanted a custom location to put the chat on the forumhome so I did the following change:

From:
$find = '$forumhome_markread_script';
$brb = ' <br />';
$bra = ' ';TO:
$find = '';

I don't know why or what it was supposed to do in the first place. So is it ok that i removed those 2 lines?

Yes you can proceed.

Also, is it ok i changed the plugin instead of just pasting the custom code in any location i wanted to? Does this mean it will add an extra query to the database since this new location its looking for is not cached?

No no.

3- In the top row of the chatbox, it shows the chatbox name centered. How can I make it so its aligned to the left?

Edit the mgc_cb_evo template. But becareful, don't forget to revert the template at each upgrade or you'll have "hey it's not working issues" ;)

4- The page loads really quick, as usual, but when it reaches the place with the chatbox location, it kinda stops to think for a few seconds. i also noticed this on Forumcoding site as well. Is this normal, will there be a way to reduce that load time, Or is that just the way it is?

I think it's due to javascript loading, I have to work on that in next releases coz it's bearly annoying I must admit.

BTW, I own the BF version, if that makes any difference in the changes i would need to make for above changes.

Nope doesn't :)

im having problem with the arcade. the mgc chat box is gone.

Just like that it disapeared ?!

One thing we found early on was having chat open in multiple pages was a drag on our resources. Perhaps those having problems might look to that as a source of their troubles

I have to tell you VBDev... I was running this "shoutbox" a while back when you first created it. My user base was small and it really generated little interest. I left it up anyway. I then upgraded vBulletin and figured I'd leave it off the site because it wasn't really doing anything. Now it's quite some time later and my userbase has grown substantially. The other day I figured I'd re-install it and see how the users like it. It's an instant hit!

Thanks for the great mod.

Just 1 question... is this really a shoutbox? It's more like a chat box. I suppose it can be configured for both. My users are using it more as a chat box.

VBDev

04-08-2009, 02:57 PM

But yeah most users are seing this rather as a chat "room" than a shout box

How can I make it so if the person has no chats, it won't be listed in the postbit?
I assume I would need soem type of if statement?
Also how can I change the name of the postbit, from 'chats' to something else?
Lastly, what does "Warning : Add 4 sql queries on the forumhome." mean?

Yes you can by changing the code in the plugin attached to postbit_complete or something like that.

The chats text is in a phrase so you just have to edit it.

It means that when u activate the option, 4 sql queries are added on your forumhome page thats all :)

Ok I had to disable the BBcodes because its just very troublesome on the forum.

The input field is white and the text field is almost black. This makes it impossible to pick the right color that can nicely be seen in the input field and in the chatbox itself. I see a new feature was added "Option to disable wysiwyg in input field", so this should be very helpfull in the new release.
Everything is great before choosing a color. The input is black and the color is the same as the text color used elsewhere on the forum. But as soon as color is changes, it changes both in editor and chatbox. Going back to default does not correct this to the actuall default it was before. In the usergroup default colors, i can't chose the color that is default for my forum because its nto on the list. So can there be a place where you manually enter the color number?
Would it be possible to be able to chose which colors will be included in the dropdown for the users to be able to pick out of? Since preomlem one will be fixed in the next update, This way, I could enter all light colors only to be used on the dark background and the input field can stay black color.
Also noticed that hwne turning of the bbcode menu, smilies do not show anymore.Thanks You, all else is great!

Is there a way to get the chatbox to show on the vbBlog pages?

THANKS!

Look at the blog php file and have a look at the THIS_PAGE define.

If you only want to show the chatbox on this other page of the forum, you have to put the parameter of this definition and put it in the option in the acp and then activate the show chatbox on defined pages below the navbar.

Can you please point me to the right template and what phrase to look for, i just can't seem to find anything;(

NM, i found it:)

lol ok :)

I uninstalled this and the options to change permissions are still in user group permissions so it gives me an sql now when I try to update permissions because I uninstalled it and the sql database does not exist. How do I remove these options from user group permissions?

You have not folowed uninstall instructions correctly ... You have to remove files and then remove the product...

To fix this remove the chatbox files, especially in the includes/xml directory.

Sorry, I mean regarding the phrase "chats" and changing it to soemthing else. You said you just have to change the phrase. But I can't find it anywhere.

Yes this is what I said :) I told you in my message what the phrase is :)

The input field is white and the text field is almost black. This makes it impossible to pick the right color that can nicely be seen in the input field and in the chatbox itself. I see a new feature was added "Option to disable wysiwyg in input field", so this should be very helpfull in the new release.

:)

Everything is great before choosing a color. The input is black and the color is the same as the text color used elsewhere on the forum. But as soon as color is changes, it changes both in editor and chatbox. Going back to default does not correct this to the actuall default it was before. In the usergroup default colors, i can't chose the color that is default for my forum because its nto on the list. So can there be a place where you manually enter the color number?

In the last version it does correct to the default usergroup color, you are using it ?

Adding a color is currently only feasible by editing the functions_mgc_cb_evo.php file, I might consider putting the list in an option in the next version.

Would it be possible to be able to chose which colors will be included in the dropdown for the users to be able to pick out of? Since preomlem one will be fixed in the next update, This way, I could enter all light colors only to be used on the dark background and the input field can stay black color.

Well the list as option stated in previous sentence would allow it :)

Also noticed that hwne turning of the bbcode menu, smilies do not show anymore.

Ah you mean they aren't parsed anymore while still shown in the menu line ?

Was there a fix posted for why it just sits and looks to be loading upon install? I've installed this on 3.8.2 and I can see it, but can not post anything, just sits and loads.

The newest version is loading and loading and..

Please help me, vb3.7.6

Generally people having this issue either had problems while uploading files or installed it wrongly.

What have you done ?

04-12-2009, 08:43 AM

In the last version it does correct to the default usergroup color, you are using it ?

Yes that is corrected but the color I want is not on the list of colors. And the forum default color used for forums is the one I would want. So before users change the color, the true default color is the color used on all posts. So maybe is the usergroup, maybe the list of colors or if there is a manual color picker, should include an option that the default usergroup color can be the default color used for the posts/forums.

Adding a color is currently only feasible by editing the functions_mgc_cb_evo.php file, I might consider putting the list in an option in the next version.

I would do it by manually editing but it would be hell keeping up with the upgrades and making the same changes all the time.

Ah you mean they aren't parsed anymore while still shown in the menu line ?

Yep. When turning off the entire BBcodes menu, the smilies from the smiley menu no longer parse. Maybe its just the way it is or maybe some dis configuration on my part.

Here is another bug noticed at my end:

In the notifications manager i have "Number of notifications to display in the chatbox" set to 20.
In the Chat management I put to "Number of chats in the chatbox" set to "X".

Here is what it does for me:
In the notifications box, it will show the correct number of notifications(at first). But in the last number of chats what it did was subtract the number i last chats to displaye set by me from the number of notifications. So I put in display last 20 notifications and put display last 21 chats. It would only display me one last chat and 20 notifications.

I tested the with number of notifications set to 20 and kept changing the number of displayed last chats.

number of chats set to display/ number of chats showed
30-28/7 and 23 last posts/threads
27-26/6
25-23/5
22/4
21/3
20/2 and 18 in last posts/thread
19/1
18/0

Also, more strange things:

When i set to display last chats to 100 and set the number of notifications to 20

it showed me last 30 chats and about 70 notifications....

Another issue that needs correction is that if user who is able to see the archives and not a special channel , he can still enter if he knows the channel ID by entering it into the url.

So have to remove Archive for all members as well.

Oh so you meant I would have forgot to put a condition to check if user has access to the channel if he enters the channel id in the archives manually ?

Yes. Although they are not able to see the drop down at the bottom of archive page letting them chose different channels, in the link(browser) where it shows channel number, days, and page, they could just enter a different channel number other then 0 and go to that archive.

I am not really sure if it is the browser or plugin related. But before I upgraded vbulletin to 3.8.2 and MGC chatbox to latest version I had autocompletion of often used chats drop down to choose from. Similar to what is now possible with commands.

Is that removed now from the plugin or am I missing something else?

You have to look at the vbblog php files and search for the value of the THIS_SCRIPT define at the top of the file.

Put the found value in the textarea of the acp dedicated to the display of the chatbox on other pages. Then activate the show the chatbox on defined pages below the navbar.

Feature Request: Maybe the current time displayed in the chatbox so users can get an idea of when last chat was made.
Problem: The symbol "%" shows as "%" when entered into the chatbox. Whne going into edit menu is shows back as "%". Maybe its because i have the BBcodes turned off andit doesn't parse special characters?

No, I know command autocompletion is there, and it is working fine. But in older versions it was also offering chat autocompletion. Like if I were to type "Hello everyone" couple of times, next time when I type "He" it would offer me a drop down to choose from with a phrase "Hello everyone" in there.

Hi. We finally got the chatbox working (it was a problem with our server). Most of our questions have been answered by this topic, but we have a few questions which we've searched through this topic but haven't found answers to.

Firstly, is is possible to add links, font styles etc to the announcement? We've tried the standard [url=...] and <url=...> etc tags but they dont seem to work.

Secondly, is is possible to edit the background colour of the chat box?

Third, there is a sort of glitch (although perhaps its intentional) in that when users cannot edit the BBCODE the text in the box they type in is black on a white background. When they press OK it appears on the chatbox as the default colour we have set in the admin panel. However once we activate the BBCODE editing for users, the text in the box comes up as the default colour as opposed to black. So if the default colour is light (because we have a blue chatbox), its hard to read the light writing on the white box. If this is intentional, is there a way to change it so no matter what colour u use, the text in the writing box is always black? Or peraps there is another way around this..

Fourthly, is there any way to remove some of the boxes in the BBCODE menu e.g. the Links box (and the one next to it..the T with the cross through it).

Fifthly (and most importantly!) how do we donate? It really is a great mod...its obvious you've put in alot of work for this.

Template edit only (mgc_cb_evo).

Wysiwyg is not active when the BBCode are inactive, that's intentional.

Than I activate: Display on defined pages of the forum under the navbar

When I do this it does not show the chatbox on the blog page and I get my vba homepage messed up. Meaning the add-on for vba chatbox blog goes away and the chatbox shows under the navbar.

I also have turned on: Display the chatbox on defined pages in a variable
and in the field I have: adv_index, blog

The: adv_index allows me to have the chatbox in a center block on my vba homepage.

I'm not seeing what I'm doing wrong.

A few things happened after upgrading MGC.
I used to use MGC before and it work great, I thought by upgrading it would be even better.
But after I upgraded I experience a few hiccups.

#1- In images\misc\mgc_cb_evo\channels, there are NO images. I have to scrap from other sites.
#2- Successfully upgraded chatbox. The forum load very slow and I am 100% sure this is caused by MGC Evo. (turned off MGC evo and everything back to normal)
#3- The chatbox keep saying "loading". All my previous chat transcript are available in archive but on the main display, nothing shown. Just a plain boring "loading" text.

So, can anyone advise me on what should I do?

Personally I think this would vary from forum to forum like for instance a sports forum could have staff added specifically for the bots process & they could add each days sporting events & times.

For a developer website they could have the answer to the question "where do I go to buy X" & the bot would reply with the appropriate link & such.

This would be a HUGE leap forward for this modification & one step closer to being an mIRC like chat script without all the hassle.

Best of luck in your decision & I look forward to see the results!

It's an option you have to activate, check the chatbox options.

There is an option to set wether chats shall use the normalfont or smallfont css class.

For the date/time font, you have to edit the mgc_cb_evo_chatbit* templates.

Not sure how this really work coz let's imagine someone ask and do spelling errors, this won't work.

Well just like mIRC & other similar chat clients, the admin predefines the questions & answers.

So a god example for the bot/program to list all of the questions would be something like

<help>

The bot would give a list of questions like:

What are the forum rules?
How much does VIP cost?

etc.

So when the user types "How much does VIP cost?" the admin predefines the answer to be something like:

Bot: VIP status for this site is free. You must create 1500 posts & have been registered for 3 weeks or more.

Now granted I see what you are saying regarding spelling mistakes & such but personally... That should not stop something like this from being created. That's like saying why create Captcha registration? Some people are color blind & some people have trouble seeing properly.

wouldnt it be better if the members just enter a short command to view the answers like
!vip
and auto msg will appear. like vbdev said ppl can spell it wrong or somehow write the wrong questions that the system cant comprehend

Oh sorry. I figured everyone would know that I was only giving an example but yes.

Please note that some people may want to use the commands like a knowledge base so predefined questions may be helpful for certain forums. I would consider this up to the admins though.

Yes using commands like

!VIP
!Help
!Rights

etc would be easier for many to remember but for some forums for example a world of warcraft forum:

!How do I level?
!What is the last boss?

Can all be listed under one default command such as "!help". Also, this is another way for veteren users to answer the same "noobish" questions day in & day out but simply typing the question. The answer could be a wall of text or it could be a simple sentance. This again should be something the administrator thinks about before using rather than someone saying "no it wont work".

Great mod, love the amount of customization :D

Just a couple of things however (sorry if these have been posted already):

Position of chatbox
I know it's possible to add $chatbox_forumhome in the required template, however I feel it would be better to include more than 2 No. options in the admincp by default ??

Username tags
Is it possible to remove the < > tags which surround the usernames ?? I just find this unnecessary and looks messy.

Cheers,
Adam.

Man, a 101 pages of looking.

Can anyone tell me it this chatbox will allow you to have two of them going at once? The reason? because I run a military forum. It basically helps new Sailors just joining the Navy. Since these kids are hyped up and ready to start a life for themselves, they are also sexed up like most 18yo. Everytime in the chatbox it always turns to sex and how are they going to handle being locked up in bootcamp for 8 weeks. I know I could banned these kids, because I have pointed out several times that the chat is for PG things only. I can't have their sex talk in normal areas that mom, dad, grandma, and little sister can see. I want these kids to have a place to talk Navy stuff, along with their goals and fears but I need it limited to those people only.

So can this chat allow me to put one in the normally viewed area, and have a second one that is limited to those that want to be part of those types of chat?

Having to disable the scheduled task bit after each upgrade becomes quite... annoying. Especially when it isn't keeping the current stats. Any chance this could be changed in further versions?

If you set number of days for chats removal to 0 it doesn't remove the chats and thus you don't need to disable the scheduled task.

No ?

Since I do make a daily backup of my forums, would it be possible to restore old messages?

Well the issue is that chats made since then have same ID as older chats that were in the database so only thing you could do is loose current chat to get older ones.
Up to you.

What do you mean by tie into the vB Database ?

Overhead of the mod depends of the refresh rate and options you set :)

Oh sorry, then it's because you haven't removed the product correctly (that is to say remove the chatbox files from your server)

If you set number of days for chats removal to 0 it doesn't remove the chats and thus you don't need to disable the scheduled task.

No ?
My fault. Thank you :)

Alright, so I installed 2.3.2 (or at least followed the directions) but it only shows up in AdminCP. The chatbox running on the site is still 2.3.1. Where should I begin troubleshooting?

>> Well you need to know where otherwise I can't help.

It appears that it's the archives only.. not the downloads and not in the chatbox itself (during real time)

I've checked every setting and can't seem to determine why this is the first I've heard of it..

Thanks

Hi VBDev,

Really nice mod!
But few questions remain:

1- Everytime I get an error or other message from the chatbox, I can't see it untill I highlight it.

And here is after highlight...

So how do i change the text color so its black or something.

sorry I couldn't find your hint (cause I'm really to dumb to imagine what to search for). Is it possible to give it again? Thank you in advance.

Another question: I changed the refresh time from 30 to 10 or 20 seconds for various user groups but nothing seems to change. I watch the refresh icon and it moves like before after 30 seconds. Any ideas?

I also have the prob that usersonline works a bit weird. I understand there is a bug in that feature. Is it planned to fix it with next version?

Thanks for your help!

Hey VBDev,

I re-tested your chatbox on my localhost (Yahoo YUI on localhost too, IE no access to internet) and have this error :
Erreur : e.get is not a function
Fichier source : ./clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_functions.js
Ligne : 1

Maybe this will help.

See you.

- One quickie side question: Is there a quick way to force a new sound? I uploaded a new wav file (new_chat) and overwrote the current one but I doesn't seem to take.. I cleared my browsers cache - re-checked the path and still hear the old one.

Also: Is it's name something I can go change in the code somewhere?

(thanks)

Does it still look like that after it completes loading? (Mine looks like that until the chats footer loads and then the alignment is perfect.)

i think hes meaning the gap between the chat box and the forum section

put this on the bottom of your CSS

.yui-skin-sam .bd {
color : #000000;
}

If I implement this admin can do what they want like typing small commands or whole text.

Up to you to set a command and its replacement.

Bingo! That's all I asked for =)

Thanks for the reply!

Hi, getting this error:

Call to undefined global YAHOO on line 8.

It's only an internal error, it shows that little yellow warning icon on internet explorer. Nothing of the sort on Firefox.

It doesn't stop anything from working, but I'd still rather it not be there.

Happens with call from Yahoo server on, or off.

Does it happen with chatbox mod disabled ?

i have a problem , one of my users is a simple member i joined him to secondary usergroup that is for example chatboxgroup , member usergroup only can see chatbox but chatboxgroup usergroup can view and use chatbox
this user can view chatbox but can not use it , how can i fix it? i cann ot change chatboxgroup as first usergroup for him , is another solution?
thanks you VBDev

Hum it might be possible that the default permissions that are taken into account by vB permissions are the primary ones. This how vB behaves.

i installed it on my forum but it is slow like hell. every member is complaining. any solve?

http://www.dhakashaheens.com/index.php

Well what is slow ? The page load or the chat load ?

Alright, so I installed 2.3.2 (or at least followed the directions) but it only shows up in AdminCP. The chatbox running on the site is still 2.3.1. Where should I begin troubleshooting?

Are you sure you updated the files ? (refresh your browser cache perhaps your browser is still using old version of js files)

>> Well you need to know where otherwise I can't help.

It appears that it's the archives only.. not the downloads and not in the chatbox itself (during real time)

I've checked every setting and can't seem to determine why this is the first I've heard of it..

There used to be such problem in version earlier than the current one but I had fixed it.

Have you been able to confirm this yourself ?

Normally if you change the refresh rate in your usergorup permissions it's applied, unless you didn't set it.

I also have the prob that usersonline works a bit weird. I understand there is a bug in that feature. Is it planned to fix it with next version?

Yeah it's planned. However next release won't be before june, I am moving from location on the first week of june so have to prepare lots of things before :)

I re-tested your chatbox on my localhost (Yahoo YUI on localhost too, IE no access to internet) and have this error :
Erreur : e.get is not a function

With latest chatbox version ?

That big gap must dissapear once the chatbox shows the chat and the loading... sentence has dissapeared.

Isn't it the case ?

It's because sound was moved to flash instead of wav.

Yeah but the gap should be one or two br but not that much space.

Depends of how you set it. It's reported as less than vBShout.

I am still working on optimizations though. Next version shall be a bit less intensive.

Bingo! That's all I asked for =)

You're welcome :)

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring to perhaps take this back to the .wav format - I don't currently own anything that can let me easily edit the file and - well - it's one of those features the users like:

On that note, a /bell with an option in the cp to reference what sound gets sent would be a nifty add-on...

Regarding the Security Issue with the archives: Although I had the newer version, I skipped the update just before this release. Thinking this could be the issue, I completely uninstalled - then reinstalled - and it appears to have gone away...

As always, Thanks!

Sticky Message Refresh Bug?

When I stick a message in the chatbox or unstick a message it is refreshing the whole page. Can't this be made to just refresh the chatbox itself since it is ajaxed?

Seems a waste to have the whole site refreshed for one darn sticky message.

Can this be changed or is it a bug?

Working as designed ;)

It's refreshing because it's not just about stickying one small chat but keeping date order and so on. I have made it so because to minimize the oding effort.

I admit it could be optmized though.

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring to perhaps take this back to the .wav format - I don't currently own anything that can let me easily edit the file and - well - it's one of those features the users like:

On that note, a /bell with an option in the cp to reference what sound gets sent would be a nifty add-on...

To get it back to wav, edit the clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_functions.js and replace clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/sound/new_chat.swf by the .wav, this should work.

Not sure a /bell is really what user needs. However, I could perhaps add the possibility to admin to select/manage sounds and allow their users to select which sound to use.

Regarding the Security Issue with the archives: Although I had the newer version, I skipped the update just before this release. Thinking this could be the issue, I completely uninstalled - then reinstalled - and it appears to have gone away...

Then it's fine :)
