MGC Chatbox Evo

[VBDev]

LOL VBDev I figured it was worth a try to Kindle the fire under ya. :D Me and My Users Love This Mod and I Will Be Paying for the full version as soon as the new release hits. WooHoo!

Ah ah lol Yes you sure shoulld kindle the fire under me, I have been pretty lazy lately and not very up to coding ...

Hi, the box (2.3.2) works very fine in firefox, opera in the forum and in the vbcmps portal but in the IE8 in the forum the box load and load and load (in the portal is no problem), what is this..

best regards
Elric

ps:
the board software is 3.8.3

Did you fix this problem, it seems odd to me that the box do load well on the portal and not the forum.

Perhaps a misconfiguration of the url of the forum in the vbulletin options.

BTW Can I possibly get someone to figure out how to show the chatbox on some other areas of my site, Critical areas being, profile pages, newthread pages, edit thread pages, in private messages pages. This way me and my mods will not miss a new user or critical question while doing our daily work around the web site.

There are options in the admincp for that purpose.

How can I make Var $mgc_cb_evo_var recognized by VB 3.8.2?

Well this is what I was talking of just above. It shall be recognized if you had activate the option for. Did you ?

I take several seconds to load when you login to the forum and also to refresh the page. :(

Are you on a shared host ?
What internet connection speed do you have ?
How many chats are you displaying inside the chatbox ?

[VBDev]

Any way to disable Delete All chats (of a user) in the side menu (but still allow for a single line delete of an individual chat) ?

(Accidently hit the option to delete all of a user)


Well there is no detailled permission for the delete command so the answer is no.


Also.. maybe one more feature request: When users update albums, I never know it unless they tell me. It would be interesting for the chat to let us know when a picture has been added... (gpc10347 has added a new pic to the whatever album) - linked might be cool too but I need it to do my laundry too ..


Allright, I am adding this to the todo list but this might be only released in the BF version as I want differences between the two versions appart from the copyright removal :)

Testing the:
"Display special chats (warnings) in a separate column in the chatbox"
Setting and have found that it displays properly in FireFox 3.5 but the columns overlap in IE6.

I tried decreasing the Percent of Special Chats column and the display problem shifts from one column to the other. It seems to be that the left column is fixed at a minimun width in IE6 because when I expand the whole browser width it fixes the overlap. This problem is not present in FireFox - which seems to properly adjust the width of both columns as the browser is adjusted.

Any suggestions?

Can you make a screenshot please ?

VBDev, I installed the rainbow plugin:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=208274&highlight=rainbow

But the color is not displaying in the chat box. Any way this can be done?

This can't work with the chatbox as this runs upon page load. Chats are loaded afterwards dynamically so the javascript doesn't apply.

Hi! I have an Error with "vBadvanced CMPS 3.1.0". This is the error that appears:

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hum this is strange I don't use this javascript file anymore.

Which version of the chatbox are you running ?

[VBDev]

In the mgc chat templates, I reversed every instance of alt1 to alt2 and alt2 to alt1, which makes the main chat window white and the editor/onlineusers gray. MUCH better IMHO.

Well, up to the user to change the templates ;)


1. BBCodes options are an all or nothing setting. It would be nice to have per usergroup settings for BBCode font, size, color, etc, not just for everyone or no one.


I think there is a usergroup permission for bbcodes and smilies in the chatbox.


2. Even when I turn off the ability to use font, size and color options, they are still available in the BBcode bar. Shouldn't they be hidden? They don't do anything, so why are they visible? I do wish I could limit specific usergroups access to these BBcodes (see #1).


Are you sure ? Perhaps you just limited the type of things that could be used ?


3. There is no size setting for the Users Online area, especially when embedded. The default size is HUGE compared to most of my forums. Had to forcefully modify the templates to fix it. It would also be nice to show the online users on the side as an option.


On the side ?


4. There should be an option to reverse the alt1/alt2 color scheme. I like my shouts on white, not grey. Again, had to mod the templates to fix it. I would also appreciate a theme override color scheme -- I may not want odd theme colors to be used in the shoutbox so my eyes don't bleed. In other words, if I have a dark theme, I may still want black shouts on white backgrounds.


Well adding an option to set which alt is the first one seems a bit "rich" not sure this really is needed.

What do you mean by theme override color scheme ?


5. There are too many confirmation popups. If I delete a shout, I don't need a popup telling me I deleted it. I can see that it's gone. ;) Any way to make it so when we double click a post, there's a little red "X" in front of it for a quick delete option?


No.


6. If you choose to private shout someone using the drop down menu, you must click the Save button after typing your text, not just click Return/Enter, or it does nothing. Using /pm uname ... doesn't work well for me, if at all. Keep getting user not found errors. *shrug*


This is a known thing but it's not easy to make the save button be focused by enter. However this is fixed in the next chatbox release.


7. Is there a way to place the shoutbox into a simple php page, without any clutter, that expands to fill the entire window?


Not yet but this is in the requested features list.


8. clicking the full page icon just opens the shoutbox in a new tab thanks to new browser behaviors. I was able to use a simple javascript edit to fix this.


Well it's how it is supposed to be working.


9. new feature idea: option to enable a small reply icon (10x10 curving arrow or something) in front of each post. It's function: add "@uname: " to the shout input box automatically (kind of like twitter). This would be a welcome shortcut. I'm about to mod this in as well.


Very interesting idea ! I am adding this to the list


10. new feature idea: "Show More" link at the bottom of the chat area. Function: use ajax to load the previous X number of chats into the current window (reversed if you view newest at the top). Using this function should suspend refreshing and make the refresh button visible. Clicking the refresh button should reload the chat like normal.


That's an interesting one too, this is how apple does in the appstore on iphone.

I am adding it but maybe won't work on it for the next release.


11. the users online count seems to add invisible users (admins, test users).


Are you sure ?


12. I'd REALLY love the ability to use the Favorite Smilies (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=192184) and Smilie Popup+ (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?threadid=166325) mods in conjunction with this shoutbox.


This is too specific sorry. I can't put compatbility with all existing mods you know ;)


13. I'd LOVE to get the latest version!! Some of the bugs you've fixed (especially the bug for users to search or view archive of channels they can't access) are showstoppers for me! I want to get the brand free version into production once you get the latest one out. I can't wait!! Keep up the great work!

I know I know :)

The slap command is in french, how Do I change it to english?

It's a setting in the command options.

My users with IE6 cant see the vertical scrollbar unless they widen the browser window really wide. As you slowly narrow the window, the scroll bar disappears arount 700 pixels wide. I tried changing the width percentage but that only changes the chat window width and the scroll bar disappears under the right side of the chat border.

Only see this is IE6. Any ideas on a fix for this?

Can you make a screenshot ?

[VBDev]

Is there any possible way to add more colors to the choices given?

I have diffenet shades of skins on my board and people want more colors added to fit all boards... I was told the 15 or so are the only defaults allowed.

please advise.

Well you could do this by editing a php file (functions_mgc_cb_evo.php), in this file you should see the colors dropdown construction and shouldn't have any problem adding more :)

By the way I recommend you don't do the modification know coz this file will dissapear in the next version.

Anyway to limit which channels that notifications show up in?

No sorry.

How do I set the chat to show on the index pages.

What do you mean ?

how to implement the bbcode of URL? i try to put the [url] code to identify the link but not work, it still show the complete url info

It's an option :)

Am i able to get this on all poages and can i have more than one column on it and can i get avators on it because i`ve seen this on a site and it does all this but i`m wondering if its in the admin panel or would this be sepate bb coding?


Yes you can put the chatbox on all the pages you want
What do you mean by column ? the one for the notification and the one for the chats ?
There is an option to enable avatars

[VBDev]

thanks for this...i might paid for copyright removal later... one question is this not server load problem or memory hog?


Well this depends how you configure it. If you set the chatbox to contain 100 chats or more and you put a refresh rate very low then yes it will use memory.


i guess my edit options in archives is not workin too...can't try to insert image to my channel, adding the channel image like: Staff Channel only....how am i gonna set it to all pages?...any idea or did i missed something...can't found it too here....or am i blind...tried to find it here... sorry for this questions....


What have you put in the channel options for the image name ?

[princeedward]

i guess my edit options in archives is not workin too...can't try to insert image to my channel, adding the channel image like: Staff Channel only...What have you put in the channel options for the image name ?well for Name of the channel image? i add "Staff Channel" which the name of my image...or it's wrong?

like i said...tried to edit any post via archives but not workin too...

can you please be kind to explain it more plain to me how am i gonna make it visible to all pages of my forum? sorry...but kinda lost on this option....


thanks once again for this great chatbox and best regards

;)

how do i stop the messages in the chatbox from disapearing so fast.

[piratarg]

Are you on a shared host ?

and the number of messages that are shown are 15

Hum this is strange I don't use this javascript file anymore.

I use the latest version available (2.3.2)

refresh rate is set in admin panel usergroups/usergroup manager / edit


chanel permissions are set in the mgc evo settings manage channel/

[Warion]

Main Channel is the channel I want to change permissions. Or is it just basically a hub.

I also was wondering how to place the chatbox on my arcade pages.

http://www.guildcommand.com

[RedDevil]

I dont think you can change main channel, all you can do is deny access to that group in usergroup manager, i think that option is on devs to do list.

[Warion]

ok, np. How about adding the chatbox to my arcade pages.

Also my ping sound has dissappeared. I have it set to ping but it wont for me anymore.

i have installed it and can`t see it on any pages?

Hi,

I'm using 3.8.3, no other mods installed on the forum. When I import the product I get an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function build_cron_item() in /www/forum/admincp/plugin.php on line 2398

Any help would be appreciated :up:

[crazymilk]

Well if you look closely it's stated that the extension, _sel and _nosel are not to be inputed !!!

The mgc_cb_evo prefix is not mandatory at all !!

You just have to put everything in the name of your image before the _sel.gif or _nosel.gif or _new.gif, that's all.[/QUOTE]

done this and still not working

[RedDevil]

i have installed it and can`t see it on any pages?

any help vbdev?

did you set permissions in the user group manager they are set to off by default you need to enable shoutbox for each user group allowed to see and use it.

Users are reporting that when they set there font in the UserCP that it doesnt stick when they click Save, they must do it 3-4 times before it saves if it even does at all.

Also the box where users input there text to shout with is styled so it uses there font, so if someone is using a white font, they cannot see what they are typing at all

You can change the font color in the "UserGroups". You can give every group a other color :)

Correct, they will not show up. They are the same size, and everything. I followed the instruction, placed them in the right folder. I didnt add the file extension nor the sel/nosel/new suffix.

[H3C x Nevz]

I don't see a readme file... I uploaded everything in the Files and Images, now what?

Correct, they will not show up. They are the same size, and everything. I followed the instruction, placed them in the right folder. I didnt add the file extension nor the sel/nosel/new suffix.

If you're sure you followed the instructions correctly, I don't know what else it could be. Hopefully, you selected who could access the channel. Other than that, I have no idea.

[will555559]

I don't see a readme file... I uploaded everything in the Files and Images, now what?

Yes, there is a .html file in there.

Hum that might be a bug, I am adding this to the todo list and will give it a look as I was going to release the new chatbox version by the end of the week.

how do i stop the messages in the chatbox from disapearing so fast.

They do not dissapear. If you have the notifications active and you haven't activated the "Separate chats and notifications queries" to yes then if lots of users posts there will be more notifications and the oldest chat will dissapear from the chatbox though being seen in the archives.

Is this what you were experiencing ?

I have a VPN server
My connection is 4 mb
and the number of messages that are shown are 15


Well then it's certainly because your VPN server is slow or because your forum already had lots of images and so on and it takes time to load them ?

I was wondering if you could tell me where I can change the refresh rate at and how to set the permissions use for individual channels.

http://www.guildcommand.com

The permissions for the channels is in the channels management page in the admincp and the refresh rate is userroup based so you can find it in the usergroup permissions page.

[VBDev]

Well this totally depends of the forum style, it could be that the alt1 is perfect but not the alt2.

The chatbox is natively developped for the default style, then if you want to fit it for your exact needs in terms of color and shape up to you to modify the templates, see my point ?

How Do I Stop The Messages In The Chatbox From Dissapearing After A Few Hours.

Well they don't dissapear it's because you have not enabled the "Separate chats and notifications query" options to yes. So if lots of users post then there will be notifications retrieved and less chats.

And one more thing.... is it possible for someone to write me the code, for a link in the navbar menu?

[vgevolution]

I think there is a usergroup permission for bbcodes and smilies in the chatbox.

I know that. My point is that those options aren't granular enough. I want to be able to allow my premium users to have more BBCode options than a normal user. The granular controls are in the main "Chats formatting and sending" global config, not usergroup config.

Are you sure ? Perhaps you just limited the type of things that could be used ?

I have BBCode on, but Font controls off (since I can't limit who can use them by usergroup), yet the font control are still visible, but don't function.

On the side ?

No, embedded below. The font sizes are HUGE. I am able to choose "smallfont" styles for everywhere but the lower embedded online users area.

What do you mean by theme override color scheme ?

I have many themes. Some are light, some are dark. I don't want the chat area to be dark, for readability reasons.

Well it's how it is supposed to be working.

I was just saying that "open in new window" should open in a new window, not a tab. It's fixable with javascript, no big deal. That was the first complaint I got during beta testing.

Are you sure ?

Nevermind, it only counts for users like myself who can see invisible users. :D

We can provide help and explain how you can do it on the chat is white better, or you can done some file that can inject it with white color, because look at this picture with me on the forum, gray better we do not like no way, please and help us all to solve this thank you very much

Just use the Style Manager and edit the templates associated with the chatbox. You can use the Style Manager's search function to find all instances of alt1 and alt2 and reverse them. It took me 2 minutes to hit them all.

_new.gif (animated image displayed when the channel contains new message, if warn system is active): http://epaloids.com/images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/staffonlychannel_new.gif


This is why it says to not put the end of the image name.

For example, if you name your images :



staffchannel_sel.gif
staffchannel_nosel.gif
staffchannel_new.gif



Into ACP > MGC Chatbox Evo > Manage channels > Add Channel

Name of the channel image
Don't put the file extension nor the sel/nosel/new suffix.
The images must be uploaded in the images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels folder.

You would use and put in that blank field space : staffchannel


thanks and hope it help the others too... :p:up:



thanks and best regards...

how much load does this cause on the server compared to lets say vbshout 2.0?

[Hostboard]

And one more thing.... is it possible for someone to write me the code, for a link in the navbar menu?

Where do you want it located?

You can have it linked off a forum link, drop down menu or on the NAVBAR itself.

[Markos]

Well have you change the number of days option in the chatbox settings ?

yeah i changed it to 1 as i want it to run every day and set MGC Chatbox Evo Digest to 23 so it runs every 23 hrs

and my chatbox is still freezing on some of my users :S

[senadxxx]

Just use the Style Manager and edit the templates associated with the chatbox. You can use the Style Manager's search function to find all instances of alt1 and alt2 and reverse them. It took me 2 minutes to hit them all.
thanks I managed to make the white color of the chat, but nothing I did not touch the style of the forum, but in any case thanks!!
see on picture new is ok and all work fine thanks amigos!!

[QUOTE=VBDev;1853329]Search in this thread this has already been stated.

Well I don't like vBAdvanced and don't have it, per consequence I haven't done any effort so far to make it work on vba.

I might have a look at it soon.

Please VBdev this is a great chatbox and i would love it on my vbadvanced pages

The load is not noticable unless you have it displaying on every category, forum, page, etc. Then it can become apparent on ANY box. Personally, from the 200+ installs I've done for people, everyone said it's the fastest and most used (MGC).

Still looking for help on why my icons are not working for the channels. And also for changing the background of the chatbox.

To get channel icons to show up, open up the zip file. You will see a Channel_icons in the zip right when you open it. Take all 6 images inside Channel_icons and drag/drop them into Images\misc\mgc_cb_evo\channels in the zip (this way before you send it's there), or after you upload the files, copy the channel icons to Images\misc\mgc_cb_evo\channels of each style/skin you have. Then make sure you created channels in the MGC Admin area and they will show.

Between the chat and VBA for MGC, I've gotten them to work on almost any forum. Chat not working on VbA is typical if the forums are outside root..... Like if you have www.site.com (http://www.site.com) as vba, and forums are forums.site.com that will need a recoding done for VbA to work.

PM me ur site info, ftp etc, and a Yahoo/AIM s/n and I can walk you through what I'm doing and teach you too... Just make sure you take a database backup prior. It's always a good habit to get into.

I installed the chatbox on my forum www.desimeet.com and I am coming across few problems, the chatbox is loading very slow for few users, the shouts are getting displayed after 1 minute for few users, and few others complain that they are not able to see the chatbox, just blank.

This is happening for every 2-3 page refreshes.
Even though few users are loving the chatbox and its functionality.

Could you please help me with this?

Well, for one thing, you have so many plugins installed, so saying the chat is the issue, is hard to agree with. Just from the ping and searching, your forums are slow to begin with, without the chat. Sounds to me like you are running an old version of the chat, or never uninstalled an old version correctly when you did an upgrade. More info is needed.

I installed a fresh copy of 2.3.2 version.
The problem is not with everyone, few members only

[kalisekj]

From what I have noticed the slow or stuck chat is caused by an individuals bandwidth. What I mean is this the refresh of chat will not occur if the person is doing downloading of any kind and sometimes if they are uploading. It seems the chatbox times itself out and never truly populates if it reaches a certain ammount of time. Anyone not using a lot of their bandwidth doing other things never experiences the chatbox not refreshing or getting stuck.

Side Note : If you get the chatbox coming up but blank its usually because an ascii character was inserted on someones chat msg, most commonly with PS3 users. Just go into archive and delete that bad chat or edit and remove the bad character which will be obvious when you look in the archive.

Hope This Helps Some of You!

[kalisekj]

VBDev :
We are ready for your new release / update. You have addressed and fixed many things already. Save the rest for the next release. I'm betting the better functionality and speed improvement is wanted by all who have installed the chatbox.

WooHoo!

I've got a mobile skin running and going to the full page view of the chatbox, I just get "Loading", like others have experienced.

Any help?

[kalisekj]

I`m not 100% sure but this could be a flash or JS plugin problem in regards to seeing the chatbox via mobile devices. Some Mobile devices only allow certain HTML codes so it could also be that as well. I would see about upgrading your Mobile Browsing and plugin features.

Except it works fine when the full page skin is loaded. So it's something that's not getting auto-loaded into the templates of the mobile skin.

[Viruseater]

I JSUT went though the same problem

You need to follow the instructions exactly. You have to delete all of the files you uploaded. I don't remember which one, but one of them is causing the problem. it's not the product anymore.

if i were you, I'd install it again, then follow the uninstall instructions to a 'T'.

[502Throttle]

Readded the product and just disabled it. Works now

[502Throttle]

I forgot to remove some XML files from the \includes

Removed them and uninstalled the product and we are good now

I just installed this for the first time and it works fine apart from the menu's in my admincp being in French, same with the default text on the chatbox, French also, it says "Entrez votre chat". Any ideas why it would be French and not English?

[Markos]

you have to upload the English phases

Somewhere along the way I made a change that has the system deleting shouts after about an hour. I can't seem to find it again to increase that interval. Does anyone know where that setting is?

[VBDev]

And one more thing.... is it possible for someone to write me the code, for a link in the navbar menu?

A code to open the chatbox in full mode ?

I know that. My point is that those options aren't granular enough. I want to be able to allow my premium users to have more BBCode options than a normal user. The granular controls are in the main "Chats formatting and sending" global config, not usergroup config.

You can enable or disable access to bbcodes in usergroup.


I have BBCode on, but Font controls off (since I can't limit who can use them by usergroup), yet the font control are still visible, but don't function.


Still visible ? Where ? What do you mean ?


No, embedded below. The font sizes are HUGE. I am able to choose "smallfont" styles for everywhere but the lower embedded online users area.


Seems like there are missing words ? I don't understand you.


I have many themes. Some are light, some are dark. I don't want the chat area to be dark, for readability reasons.


Well this is not the same for all styles as this is done through templates so you shouldn't have a problem, do you ?

anyone help I am trying to expand the box where you add your message (make wider) looked every where, cant find it thanks in advance

It's an option

after searching for the answer to my problem about channels...i got this solution to make the icon appear...


For each channel, you have to create 3 gif images which ends like below:

_sel.gif (image displayed when channel is selected)
_nosel.gif (image displayed when channel is not selected)
_new.gif (image displayed when the channel contains new message, if warn system is active)
This is why it says to not put the end of the image name.

For example, if you name your images :


mychannel_sel.gif
mychannel_nosel.gif
mychannel_new.gif

Into this...

Name of the channel image
Don't put the file extension nor the sel/nosel/new suffix.
The images must be uploaded in the images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels folder.

You would use and put in that field : mychannel


Thanks for this howto ! I have linked it in the first post of the thread :)


on more thing that bothers me... tried my site with this chabox to my Blackberry Storm Mobile Gadget....it keeps loading only....i can view only the chatbox nothing more...not the one i had before from cyb chatbox....not perfect but i can use it to shout a message

is there any possible to fix this issue please....i'm about to pay now for pro version or copyright removal


Well I presume your blackberry is javascript enabled so that should work ? The current version is a bit overloaded and I have optimized the code in the just to be released version (still under tests by the branding free version owners).

how much load does this cause on the server compared to lets say vbshout 2.0?

Normally I would say less.

Clicking away from a chat being edited or hitting Enter when editing a chat in the primary chat window works as always. Clicking or hitting Enter while editing in a Private Chat tab does not. I can re-create this on ForumCoding as well although it uses the side editor.

I turned notifications off and the problem magically disappeared.

I tunred notifications off because in Firefox at least, haven't tried in other browsers... If I was typing a message in a forum edit box in a different tab from where the shoutbox was running my editor would freeze for several seconds, sometimes 20 or 30 seconds, every time a new notification was posted. So turning the notifications off cured that problem and also cured the shout delete problem.

I am able to reproduce both problems if anyone is interested.

[kalisekj]

OK I Just Installed 2.4 Ver Of Chat Box! WooHoo!
Great News the Chatbox Now Shows up on all the pages I specified including the IBProArcade. Woot!
Now For the Bad News :( My BB Code Nor Smilies Columns will show up no matter what I do to try and get them to show up. ( Moving Chatbox on Page, Moving The Input Field) If I am on a different page Like Member page or Arcade , clicking one of the BB Code Or The Smilies Icon will bring me back to my forum Home Page.
Another big issue is when first bringing up a page the chatbox will not populate until you hit the refresh button.
This Has the same problems on Firefox, Chrome & IE and Multiple Computers, Let Me know if you want me to try anything. I am a Paid BF Member. (2borno2b) :D
Separating the notifications from Chatbox was a good idea except it does not put the notifications next to the chat box instead it puts it at the top of the forum. Not Good nor beneficial. Here's An Idea Have The Notification Window Below Chatbox Like The BB Code And Smilies option. Users can Turn it on Or Off Just Like The BB Code or The Smilies. ;)
Hence I have reverted back to 2.32 , and the chatbox is still working on all assigned pages. WooHoo!

[mauisun]

nice hack. installed on a fresh copy of 3.8.3 and works well except for when I make a shout. if I type test it has a smilie between each letter typed. any thoughts?

[VBDev]

Okay thanks, then that's a feature request. :p

Well I'm gonna refuse that one, it's too specific sorry.


I fear I know the answer but this would be the one up there in the first message for a feature request - crossed out .. (Option to apply chats formatting to usernames)


Oh you meant that !!! Well then answer is no it hasn't been implemented and will never be due to the way it's coded.


I know there's an option for the main chat window (Chats display order) which I have set to "Newest First" but this doesn't appear to be carrying through into the Private Chat Tab.


Not sure what I did but yeah it might be possible that the PM chat acts differently. Will take a look when I'll be back.


Clicking away from a chat being edited or hitting Enter when editing a chat in the primary chat window works as always. Clicking or hitting Enter while editing in a Private Chat tab does not. I can re-create this on ForumCoding as well although it uses the side editor.


So basically for you there a chat editing problem in the PM tabs.


Are there rules for the bot or anything ? I can't seem to get a response to fire..


No only usergroup permissions to talk with the bot.

Please don't make support message for 2.4.0 here as this version of the chatbox hasn't been released yet.

MGC Chatbox Evo Digest 00 0 * * * This appears to be the issue for it has 00 0 for digest or removal of the chats, change those to a day or whatever you fancy but definitely above 00 0 , which to me appears it will delete chats very quickly. I am not an expert but that seems the most likely course of action, also in General Option in admincp / mgc chatbox you have digest in days to keep chats there, you may want to see what you have inserted there.

Changing the running time of the tasks has nothing to do with the dissapearing of the chats.

I think the chats doesn't dissapear but you're encountering the issue of chats and notifications in the same query. If you don't tick the option to separate the queries that retrieve the notifications and the chats then you'll have less chats shown if more posts or threads have been posted since the latests chats. Do you see whqat I mean ?

I turned notifications off and the problem magically disappeared.

I tunred notifications off because in Firefox at least, haven't tried in other browsers... If I was typing a message in a forum edit box in a different tab from where the shoutbox was running my editor would freeze for several seconds, sometimes 20 or 30 seconds, every time a new notification was posted. So turning the notifications off cured that problem and also cured the shout delete problem.

I am able to reproduce both problems if anyone is interested.

Oh really ? So to reproduce the issue you would recommend me to edit a chat and wait for the chats to be refreshed ?

What did you meant by in a different tab from the chatbox ?


Now For the Bad News :( My BB Code Nor Smilies Columns will show up no matter what I do to try and get them to show up. ( Moving Chatbox on Page, Moving The Input Field) If I am on a different page Like Member page or Arcade , clicking one of the BB Code Or The Smilies Icon will bring me back to my forum Home Page.


Not sure I got you. Can you be a bit clearer ?


Another big issue is when first bringing up a page the chatbox will not populate until you hit the refresh button.


This was experienced with early 2.4.0 versions. Are you sure you're having the latest zip ?


Separating the notifications from Chatbox was a good idea except it does not put the notifications next to the chat box instead it puts it at the top of the forum. Not Good nor beneficial. Here's An Idea Have The Notification Window Below Chatbox Like The BB Code And Smilies option. Users can Turn it on Or Off Just Like The BB Code or The Smilies. ;)


No there are options to either show it in a sidebar or inside the chatbox. It's up to you. I think you might not have used the right option, do you ?

PS: as for the other user: please don't ask for 2.4.0 support here it hasn't been released here yet.

[VBDev]

2.4.0 news :

As most of you certainly know, the chatbox 2.4.0 version is not yet released here.

It has been released since 2 weeks for BF owners in order to release a free of bug version here so please be patient :) This will take a bit of time as I am going to be on holidays for the 2 coming weeks.

[gpc10347]

Oh you meant that !!! Well then answer is no it hasn't been implemented and will never be due to the way it's coded.

Thanks. It was somethin' I thought I saw elsewhere - not important though.


Not sure what I did but yeah it might be possible that the PM chat acts differently. Will take a look when I'll be back.

Have a nice vacation!


So basically for you there a chat editing problem in the PM tabs.

Yes.


No only usergroup permissions to talk with the bot.

Sometimes it's the simple stuff that really sneaks by me... Ahh - old age... (thanks)


Please don't make support message for 2.4.0 here as this version of the chatbox hasn't been released yet.
Oops.

[crazymilk]

will the new version be coded for vbadvanced?

[VBDev]

The new version has been yet tested with vBAdvanced no as I was in no time for this.

[black_diamond]

Installed and working:up:

Only thing I dont get is the images, do I copy the whole MISC dir or its individual contents? And where exactly do I copy it to?

Thanks

[Ldoppea]

Hi,

The options "mgc_cb_evo_display_on_allpages" and "mgc_cb_evo_store_invar_allpages" seem to not work.

I tried to display the ChatBox on every forum pages, before the navbar, without success.

Do you know how to do this?

[motoxer311]

What a complex piece of pooh.....

KISS

[MalakaiGonzalez]

Yea the images don't show up for me, where exactly do they go?

I've all ready got a misc folder in the skin files, i tried putting the mgc_cb_evo file in it & nothing... Plus just the images in the skin folder.

[Breakpoint]

How does this Chatbox add-on do on Server CPU?

I have Cyb-Chatbox right now and it gets pretty high on CPU use. We may have 30 people using it at a time.

[kylek]

Was using inferno shoutbox but had a site hacked through it so am switching to this one.

Followed the install instructions for "display problems for some styles" but cannot get it to show.

Has anyone been able to have this in a different location in forumhome? If so could you please let me know how you did it?

Thanks!!

[ftechuk]

I too have followed the instructions and cannot get it to display on any page other than the default pages. I would happily pay for the mod if I can get it 100% working on all pages.

It works fine on the home page just not on any others.

[ftechuk]

OK I Just Installed 2.4 Ver Of Chat Box! WooHoo!
Great News the Chatbox Now Shows up on all the pages I specified including the IBProArcade. Woot!

Another big issue is when first bringing up a page the chatbox will not populate until you hit the refresh button.
This Has the same problems on Firefox, Chrome & IE and Multiple Computers, Let Me know if you want me to try anything. I am a Paid BF Member. (2borno2b) :D


Well after reading this post, I went ahead and purchased, and guess what, exactly the same problem. If you find a solution please let me know too.

[princeedward]

guys.....i am still on vB. 3.6.8. PL2 here....tried this version here and later bought and pay $20.00 for the new version.....same all of you...had also this problem and got mad of it....but i did nor give it up just like that...tried so many possible solutions that i think of to solve it myself...now i am very happy and proud to say....coz' it's all workin perfect now to my site....as i said...all issue that i am seeing from each one of you here....same here and i had also headache from all of this issue...but as i said....maybe i'm just lucky enough to find the way to resolved it myself...maybe problems that developer itself can't hardly resolve or even explain it to me? or to anyone else here at the moment...well we can't blame him now.....coz' we all know that he's also trying his best to make this all work perfect to each one of us...

as i said....the new version that i have this moment is really working good to my still Vb 3.6.8 PL2

and if you all askin me now what, how did i resolve all of this issue?....hmmm....

Just did a very simple...

1. Close/turn off the chatbox
2. Delate all Files to my host server cpanel
3. Delete Product.XML, Language to my site Admin Cpanel
4. Now Go Back to your Website Admin Cpanel > Style Manager > Your Main Style or All Styles > Revert All MGC Chatbox Evo Templates....
5. Now Clean Cache to your main browser


Now....take a deep breath have a smoke...relax...and cross your finger...:p

and READ the INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY...and start for a NEW...CLEAN...and PROPER INSTALL!....i said.... NEW...CLEAN...and PROPER INSTALL!..:mad:

Steps:

1. Upload all Files to their proper places carefully and orderly...
2. Upload Product.XML
3. Upload Language
4. Set All Chat Options Settings properly and orderly
5. Set All User's Pemissions (or to yourself at first for a full test)

to conclude this BLA! BLA! BLA! for you...i might say here now that wish to all of you out there to have a proper and working chatbox now...and enjoy it as much as i enjoy it the proper and working chatbox without any single problem...which anyone of you like me are all dying to have it the way it work and used to be...


GOODLUCK TO ALL!

Hi,

I have vBadvanced CMPS v3.0.1 and running 3.8.4

Is there a module and a clear info on how to install this chatbox to appear on CMPS please?
I have found some post with a link to click here but it is directed to this page.

I've already been through over 250 pages some months ago without success.
Could you please help?

[artifice]

I noticed something strange... Not sure if it's been brought up in the last 360 pages or not so I apologize if it has. When you ban a user using the dropdown the ban only lasts till the user logs out and logs back in... I think this only happens with the dropdown... If this is intentional then can you tell me where I could change this? I can code pretty well so just point me in the right direction and I'll take care of it...

all we have to do is use the command:


/ban off uid userid : Unban the user specified by the userid passed as command parameter.
/ban off uname userid : Unban the user specified by the username passed as command parameter.
/ban show : Open a popup window containing the list of users banned from the chatbox with the possibility of unban users simply through buttons in this window.

Look at these pictures:
1)this option to enter into a window for a chat
2)this would be it /ban show
3)then you open the window where she writes banned members,if you want to delete the prohibition, in addition to a UNBAN options, click on it and that's all!!!!

[Skyrider]

VBDev, I hope you can help me with an issue. This chat box doesn't seem to work properly with the minimize/maximize.. The maximize seems to stretch outside the forums. Example shown below on attachments:

The last image shows a better example, while image 1 shows the chatbox on max, and second image the chat box minimized. All these are taken with the resolution: 1024x768. Because of this issue, it forces everything on the forum to scroll to the right as well.

[CilliaClaraford]

a quick question

Edit the posbit and postbit_legacy templates and add:
$mgc_cb_evo_postbit

what should we do in here like where can i find the posbit and postbit_legacy

Thanks for your reply but those images are showing up fine, it's the main catorgey backround image for the forums that's not showing up. The image at the top of the shoutbox behind the [Archives] link...

On some skins only, does anyone have a fix for it.

The first post has a link to the CMPS module. I'm using it right now. You will have issues with avatars and other images. I had to fix templates myself, but now it's working (without avatars only). I'll test it under 2.4 when vbdev gets the new version up.

As far as i saw that module is for old Evo Chatbox and its trying to include file that does not exist.

I mean whats the point of option show on custom pages if its not working.

p.s. I hope we are talking about the same module.

[worldwidereefer]

how can i get rid of the french wording at the text box? everything is in english except for this box. This box is where you type....the wording is in french.

Oh installed and work GREAT.

[IKShadow]

There is an option in settings, cant remember where.
Just open all vbulletin settings and CTRL+F in your browser searching for that word.
Thats how I found it fast

[vgevolution]

I mean no disrespect, but you're not reading what I'm writing. I'll repeat myself, and this time I've added pictures to illustrate:

You can enable or disable access to bbcodes in usergroup.

Here are the GLOBAL permissions for BBCode, I highlighted the sections that have BBCode-specific permissions. These permissions affect EVERYONE, not just individual usergroups. Note how I can choose individual font formatting, image tags, etc at the global level:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=103431&stc=1&d=1250719366

Here are the usergroup-specific BBCode permissions. Again, I highlighted what can be customized per usergroup. Notice how there's nothing to customize for BBCode, just on or off, and smileys:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=103432&stc=1&d=1250719366

What I'm saying is that I would like to be able to use the GLOBAL permissions (top pic) at the USERGROUP level (lower pic). Then I can have UsergroupA use font and img codes while UsergroupB is limited to Bold, Italic, etc Font codes only. Right now, it's an all or nothing proposition. Global permissions for granular controls don't make sense to me, and would be better served if you could change them at the usergroup level.

Still visible ? Where ? What do you mean ?
When font controls are off, the BBcode editor dropdowns for fonts are still visible, again, shown here, but they do nothing since I have font bbcodes off:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=103430&stc=1&d=1250719366

Seems like there are missing words ? I don't understand you.
There are no missing words. What I'm saying is clear. There is no way to make the "Active Users" area use the smallfont style, like other area of the chatbox. The area I'm referring to is visible when you choose to view active users below the chat text area. Here's a picture to be clear. My picture shows you how I wanted it, but I had to hack the code to force the smallfont style. Otherwise, the font is 50% larger and looks horrible when the other areas have smallfont styles:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=103429&stc=1&d=1250719424

Well this is not the same for all styles as this is done through templates so you shouldn't have a problem, do you ?
No, that's the problem. I cannot easily style the chat text background and text because you used standard style tags for it. My dark themes put the chat text on dark backgrounds and make the text light, which I don't want. I wanted to be able to keep the chat background and text colors consistent everywhere, no matter what theme is used. This would require a style override, which there isn't an option for, so I had to hack it in.

Obviously, I can hack each update and force it to do my bidding as best as I can, but I'd rather see clean options for these customization issues to speed up the update process and limit user error.

There is one done by stangger5 but it doesn't work when the forum is in a subfolder. I have to get on it but never took the time I must admit.

Don't worry I understand the fact that you don't want to read through 360 pages ;)
It does ban them as soon the chatbox on their side refreshes.

I had the same problem, no matter what I tried I could not get it to work on any other pages other than the default set up pages, then I paid for BF version and installed 2.4 version, when I did that all the pages I specified started showing the chatbox, although I had to uninstall 2.4 due to it not working 100% on my site as of yet, the chatbox is still showing on all specified pages. WooHoo! :cool:

WooHoo! :cool:

So basically if i want it to show on all pages i have to pay for the "full version" I thought it was meant to work on this download aswell?

I have tried again all mentioned and it still wont work wondered if it was anything to do with the skin i was using that wouldnt allow it, i am using

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=216445 for my site!

If i can not get it to show on all pages for this skin i may have to look for a different chat box or consider purchasing the BF version even tho that should really be stated in the write up that it will only display on the main forum page unless you purchase the other version, that way people wouldnt try so hard to get something to work when its not going to! :)

May i ask how you did it and if it was anything different to what has been suggested in here already? :)

I have tried all thats been said in here and nothing seems to work for me :(

[Bleed0ut]

The same way they have explained. I would suggest you make a screen shot of your settings and post it here for people to see.

[VBDev]

What's the ETA on the 2.4?

Bugs were reported by the BF owners so now I have to correct them. But I haven't got back to the chatbox since my return from holidays. I am busy on other stuff.

But I'll try to get on it this week.

Hello. I've seen on other boards with the same mod they have:

under their chatbox. Is there a setting that I am missing that enables this? Thank you for your time.

Yes that is ! It's the whosonline in the chatbox feature.

So basically if i want it to show on all pages i have to pay for the "full version" I thought it was meant to work on this download aswell?

I have tried again all mentioned and it still wont work wondered if it was anything to do with the skin i was using that wouldnt allow it, i am using

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=216445 for my site!

If i can not get it to show on all pages for this skin i may have to look for a different chat box or consider purchasing the BF version even tho that should really be stated in the write up that it will only display on the main forum page unless you purchase the other version, that way people wouldnt try so hard to get something to work when its not going to! :)

lol no easy guy :)

If that is not in 2.3.2 it might be because of a bug which has been corrected in 2.4.0 version.

The 2.4.0 version has only been provided to the BF owners for the moment and I am waiting for it to be bug free before releasing the non BF version here so don't worry it's not something to force people to buy :)

[Ranger187]

Thanks bro. WEWT!

[Skyrider]

VBDev.. Possible that your chatbox can have its own word replacement feature? All words being filtered on the forums also effects the chat box. How ever, the Replacement Variable Manager doesn't work on the chat box. Would be great if we can replace our own words on the chat box, rather than it being filtered to a single word all the time.

I have tried every setting mentioned here and this still wont show on my arcade page, i have checked and double checked to make sure i follwed the instructions properly, i then even got another vb owner has been in and done the exact same settings for me again (he installed the chat box originally for me) and he cant get it to show on the arcade so guess i just cant have it in there by using this mod from you!:erm:

So basically if i want it to show on all pages i have to pay for the "full version" I thought it was meant to work on this download aswell?

Well I bought it and I cant make it work on cmps_index page ( and forum is in same folder ).

p.s. There was some old MOD that is not working anymore.

[Bleed0ut]

There is a vbadvanced module you can import that will work.

I tried one but it did not work.

[Jon Tolzien]

Why are some of my phrases still in french... I tried the instruction twice. Some of it is in english but the admin cp options are in french and in the fourm, when my pointer hovers over the image it shows a french phrase.... Really confusing..

edit also i am missing the buttons on the left side of the chat box. In addition is their a tutorial for this.

Also where does it tell how to make channels. I might be becasue i am missing some buttons. Also user note.. I changed the directory of adminCP so i manually uploaded files to correct folder. Would this affect my install at all.

Thanks..

When in doubt reinstall.. pretty catchy... that fixed all my problems

VBDev - Any plan to make a CDP Plugin for your chat client to integrate with VBxperience? Perhaps points for each chat? Theres detailed instructions on writing the plugins included with Vbex but I'm not so much a php developer.

Thx.

[krucial82]

hello i have installed the chatbox works great just one thing can someone point me to the setting for refreshing it doesnt auto refresh. Thanks in advance.

[VonDoom]

I have the BF 2.4.1 version just installed last night but only admins can see the chatbox. IS there somthing im doing wrong or is this a bug?

Check the readme bro. It tells you what to do. ;) You probably didn't go through the usergroup settings and give others permission to it. Check them again.

[VonDoom]

yup that was a big oversight on my part. it was there i just didnt scroll down far enough.

[Ranger187]

Non BF 2.4.0....Publish it already. Sheesh. ;)

[alyster4k]

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where to stick the the "$mgc_cb_evo_postbit" in the postbit and postbit legacy with any result that shows up. Can I please get a code example from anyone where you have this line at?

[fr3akstar]

Cannot sign up to your payed website as it states "Registration denied. We check new registrations against a database of known forum spammers. At this time, we are unable to contact this database to verify your registration. We are sorry for the inconvenience but please do try again later." Was willing to pay for your code but stupid things like this just deny legitimate users.

[bayigurita]

hi, i would like to put the chatbox below navbar at my vbadvanced CMPS, without module. is there anyway to put it there?

i'd try using

Display on defined pages of the forum under the navbar > yes

and

List of the other forum pages > adv_index

but it wouldn't show the chatbox under the navbar.

I also try to put "$mgc_cb_evo<br />" below the navbar at vbaCMPS template but it won't show either.

i had use the module type but i prefer more wider chatbox below navbar.

Anyone can help? Thanks.

edited...

solved by adding more blocks at vbadvanced cmps.

I add top block ($home[topblocks]) below navbar, and put the module at top column (column added)

[What Exit?]

We have MGC Chatbox Evo created by MGC, Version 2.3.2 installed on a vBulletin 3.8.4

Chat seems to be working well for most posters but locks up for a few so far.

One reported this error.

Error : A chat is already being processed, please wait

The other reports:
When I go to the bottom of the forum index or the full chat window all I get is a gray loading screen. If I completely close any browser window with Mellophant open and reopen a new browser window I can see chat. But after a few post chat locks up and all I get is a pop-up saying a chat is in progress please wait. I have waited more than 30 min to no avail. I was not having this problem before the chat upgrade. I use Fire fox on a vista machine. If you need any more info just let me know. Or if you need me to test any fixes you might sugest.

We upgraded from MGC Chatbox Evo created by MGC, Version 2.2.0

[Reycer]

Hey I have a question/problem. I have a friend that is in Iraq right now, and we have been using the Chat Box on my site to chat back and forth, unfortunatly because of network restrictions he is having to "refresh" the page several times over to see messages (NOTE: This is the only time this has ever happened). Is there anyway to fix this problem, to where he dosen't have to refresh all the time.

[Ice-Maiden]

I really liked this mod, but as i cant get it to show in the arcade no matter what i do, and all settings are correct, and double checked i have had to uninstall this and loaded a different chatbox onto my site!

Marked as uninstalled! :(

[gosiah23]

Hi All,

Could someone please help me. I'm new to this and not sure what to now. I was trying to install the MGC Chatbox Evo 2.3.2 and right after I did step 4 my forum went down. I cannot even get into the Admin CP area, although it gives me the admin login page, but after I put password and ID I get page cannot be displayed.

Stupidly enough I did not backup my files. What should I do now?

These are the instructions I was following

Follow the following install instructions:
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: $mgc_cb_evo_postbit

where you want the number of chats of the users to appear in their posts on the forum (if you activate the option).
6. Installation is finished, you just have to set the permissions of your usergroups so that they can see the chatbox, configure the chatbox settings, manage the available commands and if necessary add channels.

Thanks a million in advance

[VBDev]

To all of you : 2.4.1 released !

This version shall fix some of the lately reported issue so I won't answer you unless you still experience it. If this is the case please report to me.

[frightie]

Thanks for the update! I've upgraded and everything seems to be working fine, except when I click the [More...] link for the rest of the smilies, none of the smilies load for some reason.

[Skyrider]

As I mentioned to you through private message, I have a "loading..." issue.. Which either disappears when typing something in the chat box which re-appears when refreshing the page. Another way to "temp" solve this is by pressing the "refresh" button if there is any.. But still.. The "loading.." appears after I refreshed the whole page.. and I just did a whole new re-install! Still the problem is here.

EDIT:
Possible template issue.

EDIT 2:

VBDev? I can no longer find the plugin template "Chatbox display on forumhome" How come?

[Skyrider]

VBDev, it seems the "loading..." issue only appears in my first (default) custom template, and works on others. I already tried reverting the second template to the first one (a duplicate copy) but that doesn't seem to work either. I can't figure this out, any help please?

EDIT 3:
It seems this effects ALL templates! The only way it seems to "fix" this issue is add a automatic refresh rate for each usergroup, but it has to do this every time the chat box is loading / refreshing page.... but this still doesn't work as it should on my first template.. I'm forced to uninstall this as it doesn't work properly! :(

EDIT 4:
It seems "MGC Chatbox Evo created by MGC, Version 2.4.1, Copyright 2009 all rights reserved" at the bottom is being added on all the templates, except for the first one. I'm not very confused.. What's going on?

[jeejuh]

Nice update. Thanks!

I think I found a bug... Using the new /pm command: Activate the private chats in tabs feature, the option of clicking on a username to open a private chat tab doesn't seem to work for usernames with apostrophes in them.

[cory_booth]

To everyone who uses this plugin and has the "always loading" issues....

Seach both javascript functions found in /clientscript/mgc_cb_evo..
mgc_cb_evo_functions.js
and
mgc_cb_evo_static.js

Find the following: mgc_cb_evo_jsloc+"mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php"

Replace with: "http://yourwebsite.com/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php"

For me the mgc_cb_evo_jsloc varible has never worked on any of the versions.

There are multiple occurances of these, so do a find and replace.

You may need to adjust the http:// reference if you have your forum in a subdirectory.
All this edit does is remove the "guess work" of the jsloc varible and force the correct location.

[cory_booth]

You can very easily add this to VB Advanced by:

Create a template module and place the following in the template:
<div>
$mgc_cb_evo_var
</div>

Also make sure you add:
mgc_cb_evo
mgc_cb_evo_var

Portal Output Global Variables in Default Settings.

[cory_booth]

Also to those who use VB Optimizer... You may need to switch your avatar storage mechanism to database rather than flat file. I had problems with some avatars displaying next to the chats.

[Skyrider]

To everyone who uses this plugin and has the "always loading" issues....

Seach both javascript functions found in /clientscript/mgc_cb_evo..
mgc_cb_evo_functions.js
and
mgc_cb_evo_static.js

Find the following: mgc_cb_evo_jsloc+"mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php"

Replace with: "http://yourwebsite.com/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php"

For me the mgc_cb_evo_jsloc varible has never worked on any of the versions.

There are multiple occurances of these, so do a find and replace.
Sorry, not working for me .. I still have the loading issue on my first template.. it works on the others just fine.

PS: With your changes when I wanted to add something in the chat box, I received:
Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

[cory_booth]

Edit the template - mgc_cb_evo_smilies:

Drop the <html id="mooo".... line
Drop the $headinclude line

I added my css file manually.

If I knew the proper way to call the css I would post it.

[cory_booth]

Sorry, not working for me .. I still have the loading issue on my first template.. it works on the others just fine.

PS: With your changes when I wanted to add something in the chat box, I received:

Wish I could help more...

What I can say, if you want to troubleshoot a bit...
Download the program Fiddler2. It is free and a "good guy" program.
Run Fiddler2 and then reload your website.
Fiddler2 will show you all the calls (failed or not) for a particualr file and scripts and graphics.
You can see if you are having 404 errors and other things.
This is how i figured out the ajax piece.

[cory_booth]

Sorry, not working for me .. I still have the loading issue on my first template.. it works on the others just fine.

PS: With your changes when I wanted to add something in the chat box, I received:

Skyrider... My website has the forum in root.
Maybe you need to change to read "http://yourwebsite.com/forum/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php" ???
Or there of....

All my edit does is force the correct location to find mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php.

[Skyrider]

I changed mgc_cb_evo_jsloc+"mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php with http://forum.esforces.com/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php

I replaced 1 line in one of the files, and 19x "mgc_cb_evo_jsloc+"mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php" in the other file.. all replaced with http://forum.esforces.com/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php

[updated]

I noticed a few problems with 2.4.1:

1. Smilies. When clicking on More... to see the extra smilies, the page doesn't load right. The page comes up mostly blank space. It takes a long time to load, like it's in some kind of loop. Then finally finished with about 10 smilies halfway down a blank page.

2. Channel Order - The channels don't seem to be displayed in the order set in the settings. No matter what they are changed to they always follow the same order.

3. Private Messages - The option doesn't seem to show up. The command is enabled though.

I've reverted back to 2.3.2 for now and all is well.

[VBDev]

VBDev? I can no longer find the plugin template "Chatbox display on forumhome" How come?

The plugins are now in files : includes/mgc_cb_evo/plugins.php


It seems "MGC Chatbox Evo created by MGC, Version 2.4.1, Copyright 2009 all rights reserved" at the bottom is being added on all the templates, except for the first one. I'm not very confused.. What's going on?

Do you have any javascript error if you look in the javascript console ?

Nice update. Thanks!

Already in the bug list ;)


1. Smilies. When clicking on More... to see the extra smilies, the page doesn't load right. The page comes up mostly blank space. It takes a long time to load, like it's in some kind of loop. Then finally finished with about 10 smilies halfway down a blank page.


Hum, thought I fixed that.


2. Channel Order - The channels don't seem to be displayed in the order set in the settings. No matter what they are changed to they always follow the same order.


Will look into this


3. Private Messages - The option doesn't seem to show up. The command is enabled though.


You have to give usergroup permissions to users also.

2 quotes above are not from me VBDev! :), but I'm afraid the cache is not the issue. All the other templates (themes) are working except for the very first one. I tried a lot of things, reinstalling, removing the files, reuploading, refreshing cache, all does not work.

[jazde86]

If I attemp to upload your product file within AdminCP my network card disconnects me from my router and thats with your language file the same! Its only with this new version, I've no idea whats wrong there, other mods are working fine. :eek:

And what are these mysterious .DS_Store files do? Found the answer.

Thnks for any help or fix!

[sharemee]

Hello guys, great mod by the way, ............ i was wondering if someone can help

I want a link to the chat in my arcade so users can open the chat in a new small window when they click it.

ive played around with the "ARCADE" template in my admin panel but with no joy, can anyone shed some light on this little problem

Thanks in advance

first i got database error so i upgrade to vb3.8.4 to fix it and now am getting this
Fatal error: Call to undefined method vb_activecache::flush() in /home/my site/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(2359) : eval()'d code on line 6 from trying to install it,

Anyone has the problem with the new thread notification in the chatbox? Ever since i installed the ver 2.4.1 The new thread notification column in the chatbox is gone.

[What Exit?]

To everyone who uses this plugin and has the "always loading" issues....

Seach both javascript functions found in /clientscript/mgc_cb_evo..
mgc_cb_evo_functions.js
and
mgc_cb_evo_static.js

Find the following: mgc_cb_evo_jsloc+"mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php"

Replace with: "http://yourwebsite.com/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php"

For me the mgc_cb_evo_jsloc varible has never worked on any of the versions.

There are multiple occurances of these, so do a find and replace.

You may need to adjust the http:// reference if you have your forum in a subdirectory.
All this edit does is remove the "guess work" of the jsloc varible and force the correct location.
Thank you, great add-on

I'm on 2.3.2, should I try this fix or just upgrade to 2.4.1? Or should I do both?

[jobbe]

Disregard, sorry

[frightie]

I'm still not able to load any of the smilies after clicking the [More] link

Do you have a js error in that style ?

This is not coming from the chatbox vb_activecache is not a chatbox function.

Anyone has the problem with the new thread notification in the chatbox? Ever since i installed the ver 2.4.1 The new thread notification column in the chatbox is gone.

Have you check the notifications options ?

[VBDev]

I'm still not able to load any of the smilies after clicking the [More] link

It's in the bug list ;)

[frightie]

Ah, okay thanks.

[Skyrider]

VBDev.. The weird thing is that it doesn't work in the first style, and it does in the second style. What's the difference between those 2? Nothing! I duplicated the whole theme/style so they are both exactly the same. So it is weird it works on one, but not the other. While both themes are exactly the same. I'll try to check for errors though, know how to search for any? O_o, I have no idea how personally, heh. I need a reminder.

[Skyrider]

I fixed it VBDev.. I had to revert some templates to your new 2.4.1 template version. Seems that was the issue all along. PS:


MGC Chatbox Evo [ARCHIVE] and MGC Chatbox Evo created by MGC, Version 2.4.1, Copyright 2009 all rights reserved are not centered, how do I solve this?

Possible bug?

The "Activate the bot in the chatbox ?" was set to NO, but the bot answered me regardless when the option "user can talk to bot" enabled in the usergroup settings.

PPS2:
Can the bot also be a user rather than a guest? That you select the userID to use. I love this feature though!

PPS3:
Just an idea.. An option for the bot to private message the person rather than saying it in the chat box? So we can choose either display in chat or private message :D

Another bug report:
The "me" plugin/command is bugged. Once it is enabled, it'll display a "Loading ..." issue, which displays on all themes. Is this known or... Is it only me? I reinstalled everything, and the rest is working fine for me now.

EDIT BUG ABOVE:
Seems to happen with "announcement", "ban" , "del" "ignore", "announcement" and "slap", the others seems to work.


EDIT BUG ABOVE:
VBDev, with the above commands. when the commands are enabled, but the user is not on the list of "allowed to use", it'll stuck the using in the "loading ...." issue. For example, try to enable the "del" command and remove yourself from the allow list so the usergroup list is empty that are allowed to use it. You should be stuck in "loading ...." as well.

[Michael.A]

ever time i install MGC Chatbox i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined method vb_activecache::flush() in /home/my site/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(2359) : eval()'d code on line 6

and ever time i uninstall it i get this error

some of the avatars wasn't showing on mgc 2.4.1 so i overwrite a downgraded to mgc 2.3.2 and that's how its all started now my hole site is acting up

ever thing its fixed but the avatars are not showing

[danyz81]

Hello, thanks for reply VBDev, im waiting for a fix about the smilies problem :)

For the loop on page load, i've fixed the problem easly with a cookie and cache reset.
(u can use cclenaer for that) All works :)

New issue: i dont know if there's also on the old versions
PM messages don't work for me (/pm user messages) 'cause it gives me always the same error: "user not exist" and i cant see the users online on the chatbox (on the admincp the option are activated)

[Skyrider]

Also, the "Notifications display choice" I don't think the melted in chats will do the trick.. All the new threads/posts are displayed at the bottom of the chat box while the chats are being displayed above the new threads/posts... No one can see the new chats now unless you scroll up. Would be better if new threads / posts will show the same way you type, for example:


02:16 PM <FF|Skyrider> :o
02:17 PM <FF|Skyrider> Hey!
02:17 PM <Zapper> Hey man!
02:18 PM <FF|Skyrider> How are you?
02: 18 PM <Mous4u> Answered in thread : Vegeta..
02:18 PM <Zapper> I'm great!

^ something like that would be awesome.

[jazde86]

Bot system: regex would be wonderful, e.g. *time and whats the time? --> the time is now 15:37

And enable the bot in various channels too.

This doesn't work too well with vbobptimize. I have to flush my cache after a period of using the chatbox, I will get an error saying something about cookies and header already sent, in place of where the forumdisplay threads are.

[OnTheSideDesign]

Hello, I had the chat working great up until i just upgraded to the september upgrade. I did already have the total new setup but decided to do the upgrade. I was working fine on my VBadvanced and on the forums fine. Now I cannot get my site to load when i run it on vbadvanced even when i reinstalled the module. I get the error below

Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_view_mgc_cb_evo() in /home/diyproj/public_html/modules/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 3

I tried to look that up but there is nothing in that file relating on line 3.

I try to also run it on the main forums and get this error repeated 6 times above the header.

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php on line 412

Please can someone try to help me out. The last version was running fine but this is what i get for trying to fix something that wasnt broken, i just though that the few issues i was having would have been fixed with the upgrade, ugh haha now i have more.

Thank you VERY much

Trying to see if downgrading to our older version (3.2.3 i think) will work

Not sure if someone has replied to you, but change the "merge" to "separated", currently it shows all the new threads & replies all under the chats, and the chats above the new threads & replies. There is also a new usergroup setting to allow them to view new threads/replies, you might want to look in to that.

& VBDev:
Possible you can add a feature to select a default chat channel for a specific usergroup? EG, I want members only to view the members chat box, while the guests have their own chat box to have fun with. This is to keep things separated. Shame I can't edit the default chat channel to disallow guests to post in there. I want them to talk in another channel instead.

As I mentioned in my previous replies. It would be great if the bot can be a member as well (selecting a specific ID) and that it will private message the user instead. This way, it won't spam the chat box! :D

EDIT 3:
VBDev, I know I am a lot of suggestions :p, but can you make a command so the bot also reacts to words in a line?

For example, I add the word "LOVE" in the chat box with the reply "I love you too!" I'd like the chat box to react to:

"Man, I love you so much right now"

Chat box: "I love you too!"

I'd like it to react to the word that has been mentioned in the line.

[VBDev]

I fixed it VBDev.. I had to revert some templates to your new 2.4.1 template version. Seems that was the issue all along.


You always have to do so ;)


MGC Chatbox Evo [ARCHIVE] and MGC Chatbox Evo created by MGC, Version 2.4.1, Copyright 2009 all rights reserved are not centered, how do I solve this?


In the mgc_cb_evo_archives template.


The "Activate the bot in the chatbox ?" was set to NO, but the bot answered me regardless when the option "user can talk to bot" enabled in the usergroup settings.


Really ? Will note this.

[jazde86]

Hey man :) Have you check the bot text entering ?? It's already implemented, you have to user {time} in the answer !Yeah thanks, I've checked that out.

I mean the following situation. Someone types: Its boring here or just boring and the bot answer to that question is set to *boring so that the bot answers to both shouts, without having the exact question in the database. :)

[Skyrider]

No IMO it's better if everyone got info from the bot.
It is indeed good if everyone got the information, but it won't be good if people spam up the command and the bot answers the question all the time. This will spam up the chat box. That's why I would highly recommend that the bot is able to private message as well. Sure, leave the public chat as default, but the private messages as an option for people who prefer this.

It's only you !
You sure? Try to enable a command, but don't add any users in the list. So leave it empty. If you do so, it should stuck in "loading ...".


Also:
When I attempted to approve a post, I received this error message in the AdminCP:
Fatal error: Call to a member function authorize_user_newthread_newpost_notif() on a non-object in xxxx/includes/mgc_cb_evo/plugins.php on line 370

^ I only received this error just once though, the second time it approved nicely, but would be good if I reported this.

Also, the "merge" of notifications with the chat doesn't work as it should, here's an example:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=104331&stc=1&d=1252777263
See the "latest reply" chat? That's my last chat reply I made and no one has made a reply within any thread at that time. When ever I type a new chat, it appears above the new thread replies and doesn't show at the bottom. It's like the chat box is at the top, and the new thread/replies at the bottom.

Mmmm, we have been having that issue.

Dont bother reloading the site, it doesnt work. Dont bother trying your tools.php, that doesnt either. neither does trying to install it again, or downgrading to the previous version (3.3.2) that worked.

Last measures are being called for, we nuking the chatbox tables to see if it fixes it.

Here's hoping....

How'd ya get yours back working?

I had to delete all the mcg tables and am yet to get the blooming site to display again.

So, i got rid of the errors, but that seems to have got rid of all the other stuff too... even though its all there. :|

There are several problems with the chatbox that need patching in the next version (or you can do them yourself if you want). They are found in includes/class_dm_mgccbchat.php and mgc_cb_evo_acp.php (they may also be elsewhere but i haven't seen it and am too lazy to look but if you have a 'wrong datatype in blah blah' this pertains to you)

They occur in many places, but the simplest way to find them is to do a search for "explode("

so you'll have an instance like
if (!empty($command['usergroupids']))
{
$command['usergroupids'] = explode(',',$command['usergroupids']);
}
now for the trained eye, it should be obvious that this will emit a warning on certain servers which given the files involved will interrupt js processing. So for the lot of you talking about changing jsloc and whatnot that really has nothing to do with it at all. Anyways back to the issue, if the string involved in empty then the variable is never declared as array and so blah blah it will emit a warning about in_array wrong second datatype. the fix therefore is


if (!empty($command['usergroupids']))
{
$command['usergroupids'] = explode(',',$command['usergroupids']);
} else $command['usergroupids'] = array();

and the same goes for all other instances of this. ( do not try to do fulltext searches for the code i added. simply search for explode's and look with your eyes. )

Note you will only experience these errors if at least one command has a blank userid and/or usergroupids. Additionally the problems occur most drastically (ie blank chatbox etc) for users who are part of secondary- and/or member- groups. This issue may have existed in prior versions as well.

I am newer, so please forgive me if my question sounds stupid.

I fixed the issue I was having before with the French interspersed with the English, but I can't fix the loading issue I am having. I have read the responses on this thread and can't figure out if I should try upgrading to 2.4.1 or alter code somewhere in the 2.3.2.

The only issue I am having right now is the loading issue. I did try to get the 2.4.1 but for some reason, my files aren't extracting properly from the zip file. If I try to fix the issue in 2.3.2, what coding should I be fixing?

Thanks in advance.

Wow, I went through and was trying to edit the files but they did not seem to fix the site. Kind of upset now...we have no chat. Hmmm MGC is there any way you can please try to fix these issues? Thank you VERY much

It's on the way ;)

Thanks for the updated version, but I am still having a problem extracting the files. With both 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, when I go to extract the files, I get a message saying "There is already a filename with the same name of the folder name you specified. Specify a different name." this pops up for the changelog file, channel icons, files, macosx, images, lang and product. They show in the "extracted" file with 0 kb in each.

Is this something I am doing wrong? I had no problem with 2.3.x
