MGC Chatbox Evo

[Prism27]

Firstly, I apologise if this has already been posted, I couldn't see it in the 56+ pages.

If you're having the DEPRECATED error being displayed problem, then there's a simple way to fix this. This does NOT fix the problem, all it does is tell php to stop reporting the problem.

Open the following files:

mgc_cb_evo.php
mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php

And change this line (Line 4):
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

To this:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_USER_DEPRECATED);

This little code fix works fine. Demo (http://www.tdsavengers.com/forums/)

Cheers,

(php version: 5.3.0)

[frightie]

Still having the same problem with the [More] smilies :(

[frightie]

Nevermind, it started working after I changed the max displayed under the chatbox.

2.4.2 bug report
After upgrading, I am no longer able to validate the moderated threads I have - I receive error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function authorize_user_newthread_newpost_notif() on a non-object in /serverpath/includes/mgc_cb_evo/plugins.php on line 580

I do have new thread notifications enabled. Disabling them allowed me to validate the moderated posts. I'm not sure if this was the case with creating new threads either.

[OblivionMage]

I get this fatal error in 2.4.2 on all pages of my forum whether or not it's turned on (disabling the product fixes it):

Fatal error: Call to a member function show_chatbox() on a non-object in /home/****com/public_html/guidewiki/forums/includes/mgc_cb_evo/plugins.php on line 720

Line 720 of plugins.php seems to be:

if($MGCCbEvoCore->show_chatbox() && $MGCCbEvoCore->evo_permissions->can_view())

Ok, great I see there was an update to the chatbox...It seems to be working better but im still getting this error...should i destroy the whole setup and lose all my chats?

I am getting this error 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 420

I am also still getting this error on the top of my vBadvanced page...

[adnedarn]

I've installed 2.4.2 from 2.2.x and it is much slower for us. It takes a bit to load after the forum has loaded, then once you send your message it takes a moment for your chat to disappear from the input field, and then more moments for it to show up in the chatbox. I followed the "Upgrade from the version 1.0.0 up to 2.2.1 " instructions including the script at the end. Ideas?

[Elric]

The Shoutbox was updatet yesterday but it dosnt works with vbcmps too...

[VBDev]

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

You must be having a problem with your zip software ...

Oh that's interesting, what kind of error were you getting without the deprecated thing ?

I did test the thread creation notification and it's working all good, I'll look into that issue.

Here is a fix:

Edit includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php, search for :

// 2 - Member group test
if (!$hasaccess && !empty($this->registry->userinfo['membergroupids']))
{
$found = 0;
$ugipds_array = explode(',', $this->registry->userinfo['membergroupids']);
foreach ($ugipds_array as $index => $ugpid)
{
if (in_array($ugpid,$command['usergroupids']))
{
$hasaccess = 1;
}
}
}


In this bit of code, replace:
in_array($ugpid,$command['usergroupids'])

By:
in_array($ugpid,$command['membergroupids'])


I am also still getting this error on the top of my vBadvanced page...

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

Don't use the module it's not uptodate ...

I've installed 2.4.2 from 2.2.x and it is much slower for us.

Much slower ? You must be having a problem.

It might be slower at first load as you need to cache new js but that's all.

The Shoutbox was updatet yesterday but it dosnt works with vbcmps too...

You mean vBAdvanced ?

[Prism27]

Oh that's interesting, what kind of error were you getting without the deprecated thing ?

The shoutbox would display, but it would fail to update :)

[Elric]

You mean vBAdvanced ?

...yes, it cames a white page only when i go in the portal...

[Ranger187]

Please contact the author for VBadvanced - MGC addin....

Please contact the author for VBadvanced - MGC addin....

Its not a vbadvanced problem, this prob is not by MGC Version 2.3.2...

when i update to this new vers. the prob. cames.

In other words, DO NOT UPDATE MGC until module has been updated!!!!
Thanks for the damn warning :(

If you have had issues since 1.0 did you FULLY REMOVE THE PRODUCT PRIOR? If not, bite the bullet, uninstall the chat, drop the tables, delete the files, install and you won't have issues if you follow new install instructions. But follow the unstall procedure listed in the zip files.

The author is NOT responsible for 3rd party products. The author of the 3rd party product is. So the blame is on you for not backing up your site, checking that all your plugins were up to date and dealing with the 3rd party person. ;)

And I have the module working.

Hey Einstein ;) It is the plugin, not the product. Since the plugin isn't updated, it won't work. So again..........GOTO THE 3RD PARTY AUTHOR. ;)

Why should the author of this product warn you about a third party addon????

It's completely not his responsibility to either warn you or test it with any 3rd party addon.

I think an apology is in order don't you?

^^ lol guys no biggie.

I'll work on the vbadvanced integration very soon so you'll be able to take a big breath and get relived :)

Bingo! Just what I said basically above your post. I think it's more arrogance on the user that posted that, or ignorance.

[zelnik]

Looking on the demo site there are tabs for pm/channels

How do I get thoses? I've set up a new channel and nothing?

Thanks

Yah, it's more than just the first load. Suggestions?

No, my last version installed was 2.2.0- This version worked great. I said I upgraded using the instructions: "Upgrade from the version 1.0.0 up to 2.2.1" including the script at the end.... I was just saying which upgrade instructions I used so I was clear that I followed them properly.

Thanks.

Erm your reaction is as if it doesn't exist, you are in denial. The courteous thing may have been to simply mention that a lot of the architecture had altered and that add-ons/plugins may not function until they're updated.
The blame is on me, lol. I backup daily! I check DAILY that my plugins are up to date and if I had a problem with the plugin then yes I would contact the correct author.
Your support is second to none, never seen anything like it, hence my original donation. BUT your attitude surely could do with a defrag.

Alright, so I upgraded. All seemed to go well, except I lost the chatbox. It will not show up at all. I completely uninstalled/deleted anything chatbox related, and just reinstalled the older version that I had, which was 2.3.2. I still cannot see the chatbox. I've enabled it on the forum home, thread pages, and post pages. I've done everything I need to do, and yes, it is set to Active. Any idea what would cause the chatbox to not show up at all?

[OnTheSideDesign]

I did the update you suggested and I appologize but now I am getting an error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/diyproj/public_html/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php on line 85

Its like something is still open or closed somewhere.

Sorry

I am not new to editing files either....hmm I will have to look at it more when i have a chance.

[PsyBurn]

using version 2.3.2 on vb 3.8.4

on dark skins the popup that appears on the chatbox has white color letters on almost white bg

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=75120&d=1201554267

how to fix that?
what color am i searching for?

[Sledgstone]

I don't think I've ever posted in this topic before, but I have to say that this is a great mod. :up:

I do have one problem with the newer version. For some reason I cannot get any avatars to show up except the bots. :confused: My avatars are stored in the file system. I think its just affecting custom avatars though.

Also, I had to completely disable vb optimize to get the product to upload correctly. I don't use vboptimize anymore so it doesn't bother me, but these two mods seem to really conflict.

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. :)

Wildcards would be a great feature for the bot.

[Reycer]

I upgraded and got tons of errors, fixed the errors, but now it's messed up my CMPS page (have no idea why). Now I have my forum back but no shout box :( All the settings are set (haven't been changed, I just upgraded), but now I can't see anything. I've checked the usergroups and permissions are set.

same thing here, I've lost it and it won't come back.

[adnedarn]

To add to my situation... It seems like my system has taken a decent sized hit to load/cpu usage as well. You can clearly see where the shoutbox was updated yesterday... The box has no change, it's still running very slow and making you refresh to see chats a lot of the time. *shrug*

You can see the jump where it was installed... Then the down I think is where I shut the forum off and reuploaded all the files and such, then back up when I turned it back on.

Wildcards would be a great feature for the bot.

I agree if a word is detected within a sentance the bot should answer to the word which would be listed eithin the bot to reply too rather than an exact sentance.

Love this mod too :-) and is running and working as it should.

Hmmm. I have a problem with my ChatBox:

When I load page I see "Loading..." message and nothing else.

If I write message or click refresh link on chat all work.

What`s wrong?

Thank you for great plugin.

Same thing happens for me.. i have checked the settings and it says Activate on load: Yes

and Auto Refresh: Yes

But still it just sits there loading and you have to press refresh for it to actually work, this is causing problems as my members are use to it loading straight off and now they think its not working..

IS there something ive missed? (Since upgrade)

In my defense, if it's not too late for that lol, is that last time I didn't have to redo all the usergroup permissions for it. I don't know why. So for that reason, I didn't know that it added that info to the Usergroup Manager. Homer Simpsons sums me up here pretty nicely.

same thing here, I've lost it and it won't come back.

Read above. AdminCP > Users > Usergroup Manager

For me, it's the third to last set of options all the way at the bottom of said page.

i have found a strange behavior of 2.4.2 version

i have updated from 2.3.2 version and i have vbulletin integrated with Vbadvanced

the first picture attached show the "old" layout of my forum (2.3.2 and default style), with side columns of vbadvanced just to the side of MGC chat

the second piture attached show the new layout (v. 2.4.2) ... now the chatbox fill all the screen space horizontally, and the side columns of vbadvanced are instead below the chat

same happen if i use skin with fixed width, and same if i reduce the 100% width of chat box (white space appears on the sides)

..any suggest how to solve?

I installed MGC Chatbox on my fresh installed vB 3.8.4 and when a friend of mine tries to login, he gets this message after the login.


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


I tried it on my PC (cleared Cache, cookies, restarted PC several times) and on that of my gf, we dont have that problem. Why is that ?

Its template problem, you will need to insert hook.

I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me exactly where and how. ;) Not so the expert on that kinda stuff.

Its problem with templates not with chatbox it self.
I know on my old template users received that error if they use quick search from drop down and in some other cases too.

[tlwwolfseye]

All that in that link, do I have to search that in that theme i am using only, and replace that in every part of the template what contains those lines ?

[OblivionMage]

Is there a way to reinstall VBulletin without losing thread data? The problems I'm encountering seem to be rather unique.

[tlwwolfseye]

Ok, i tried to find all those where according to the link, that line was missing. I did add that there.

Now he can login fine with no problem, but when he tries the SEARCH in the Navbar and enteres something to search, he gets:


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

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


The Search for those missing lines didn't mention anything about the Search templates. And when I checked in those, the relavent line was already in there. What can I have missed ?

[IKShadow]

Only in the theme you are using / the official team already have those changes that came with forum update.

Well yes, like it says here -> http://christianwebmastersunion.com/Thread-Vbulletin-Security-Token-Fix

I did search for those, and it showed me a few templates missing those, but the search wasn't one of them. I did add that line to all the templates vB said it was missing after the search, and still I do get this when someone uses the search on the navbar.

Instead of the search results it shows:


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

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

The other templates seem to be fixed by now. Any ideas ?

So you still have the problem with:
Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing

This happens to you or your friend only ?
In what user groups is your friend ?

Is there a setting or mod that would allow users to select whether or not they want to see the chat box at the top of the forum/threads?

Edit options of their user control panel... all the way at the bottom:

Chatbox options : General options
Yes No Show the chatbox:

I wanted to give an update on my situation... very delayed loading and posting and sometimes requiring refresh of the page to see new posts... I also found I was having a channel error upon load, even if I deleted my second channel. I decided to just keep messing with it, so I reuploaded all files, product, reran the script (since I was coming from 2.2.x) and using the repair/optimize tables tool in VB admin.... and at some point.. it finally just started working. I don't know what it was, I never did anything different but it seems better now! And my performance has tamed back down too.... No more help required that I can think of.

[OnTheSideDesign]

I applied your fix you suggested for

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php on line 420

I am still getting this error on the forums homepage...what could be causing this?

I applied the fix to all of the lines in the class_misc.php

with

in_array($ugpid,$command['membergroupids'])

I would really love to get this back up and running and if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanks

Are there any new tables which i have to make manually in the newest version?
made upgrade from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 yesterday

Table 'v156135.vb3_mgc_cb_evo_bot' doesn't exist

[OnTheSideDesign]

Are these issues members are having from the upgrades from previous versions or is the new version bugged? This app is great and my members are dying to get it back. I havent found a chat program as good so far including pay ones.

[tlwwolfseye]

So you still have the problem with:
Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing

This happens to you or your friend only ?
In what user groups is your friend ?

No, it works now. Thanks.

I'm a bit confused -- I installed this, and it's working (mostly, my vba_cmps doesn't work). However, i noticed the "mgc_cb_evo_pm_new.gif" images. Are these supposed to show in the channel list like my custom channels? I don't see them in use anywhere.

[TeknoSounds]

I pointed out the CMPS issue on the vbadvanced module thread. Basically this mod had a major code rewrite going from 2.3 and 2.4, so all the functions need to be rewritten to reference the new classes instead of the old function page. Tis gonna take some work for sure.

Basic, but try repairing your tables - 90% of the time, that clears things up. :)

I am getting this exact same error after uninstalling the chat box. I did repair and optimize and it is still not working. Can someone please tell me what I should be doing?


All of you have the same issues. You can't read/follow instructions. ;) The same errors happened to me the first time I tried uninstalling. DO NOT TRY AND REPAIR THE TABLES. That's not the issue. ;)

How to fix: REINSTALL THE EXACT PRODUCT VERSION, then follow the directions inlcuded step by step and you won't have any issues. I've installed/reinstalled this about 2,000+ times and anytime I wasn't paying attention, I'd muck it up. You'll be fine if you do what I just said.

Why should the author of this product warn you about a third party addon????

It's completely not his responsibility to either warn you or test it with any 3rd party addon.

I think an apology is in order don't you?
I may have overstated my case a little but no, don't think so.
In my defence I will clarify my meaning.... If you (any coder) were to produce a VERY popular product, which you know has 3rd party addons/plugins (which should be fairly obvious) and you were then to change the very structure or code architecture of your original product, would'nt you feel even a little morally obliged to inform people that the addons/plugins may not work correctly until they themselves have been updated?
I'm pretty sure I would.

Obviously you aren't a coder or designed anything because that in itself is a huge task. And it's also not ethical. Why? Well since you feel the need to sit here and try and glorify yourself, you'd realize that EULA are made for a reason. Microsoft doesn't HAND out their code, nor notify all 20398209845023984502 companies. Instead those 2039208345298452394 companies have to dissect and update their products based on the platforms etc. Microsoft might give support, but they don't do what you claim or suggest. Big or small, no coder has that kind of time. kthankskyoulosekbai.

Hey buddy, sounds like a template issue. Login to the Admin CP, and I'll bet you see something to the right that asks if you want to revert templates....

Do a full backup (I say this 20,000 times and people complain I oopsied and didn't do one) and then revert and I bet it works. You just might need to do some edits for other hacks/addons you have. I'm guessing the theme you use is not compatible with the Vbulletin version you are running. Try changing to the default theme and see if the issue is still there. If it's not, it's definitely the theme.

1. Some phrases are still in french, despite importing lang and over writing several times.

Some phrases he actually missed and they still are in French. The custom Avatars, should work. Unless you have special permissions on that directory.

Go to your admin CP. Go to language & phrases, go to language manager, select 'download / upload language'.

Now select at the part where it says 'Import language XML file' the browse button, and choose the english XML file that was in the ZIP. Set overwrite to English, and set ignore language version to yes.

Now just press import.

Your admin CP index might still show French language, so go to your board index, log out, F5, whatever, go back to your admin CP and voila, it's all done.

Installed it yesterday and I really like this addon. The chat looks very nice, it works quite well, and it's just what I've been looking for. There seems to be a small bug with the tabbed private chat, where soms thing appear double to yourself or some lines appear between others. And sometimes the chat won't autoreload anymore, it seems, but I think that's just the limitation of AJAX.

Thanks anyway for a great mod.

[dallibose]

thank you so much it worked...but now i need to also know where to upload images...it says to upload in all style folders...i only have one style folder inside images...how does this work...??? do you know...BTW you are great...please help me with this one...

thank you so much it worked...but now i need to also know where to upload images...it says to upload in all style folders...i only have one style folder inside images...how does this work...??? do you know...BTW you are great...please help me with this one...Yeah, that one was actually a small mystery to me as well. You need to upload them in the /images/misc folder.

If that doesn't work, skip that step, go to the chat if everything else is done, and you'll notice the images aren't showing up (makes sense, you skipped that step. ;) ) right click on one of the missing images, click properties, and look what link it gives you. (for example, for me it was http://www.sitename.com/forum/images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_refresh.gif for the refresh icon, so you need to upload it in the /images/misc folder)

Hope that helps. :)

One thing I would like to see that I don't/can't find is a jump to message function in the archives. If this is already a feature can someone point me to it?

Else: This would be helpful to jump to an entire transcript of the complete back and forth between members to sort out any conflicts. We can find posts fine but we don't see the other sides of stories or the full conversation. Right now I can't do this and could edit the archive chat, or remove it. thats about it. I dunno maybe its not obvious to me where it is.

I dunno maybe its not obvious to me where it is.Don't know if it's helpful, but you might have more success if you download the logs from the archive page? That way it should be more organized, I think. Haven't tested it myself, so I might be totally wrong.

Private messages don't seem to be logged at all, which is great from privacy perspective, but can make it quite hard to do anything about people that abuse the private chat for things they really shouldn't. Like what Dustin said, you can't check what happened and who exactly did what.

Oh and at the rest: I have vBulletin 3.8.4. and version 2.4.2 of this chatscript, and it all works fine. I have had no problems whatsoever up till now, both with installing and using it. (besides the private chat tab, that is) I have no idea why it doesn't work at your sites, but at least it shows it can work as well. :)

[itswiz]

Quick question, maybe someone had this happen and knows how to fixes it.. Once I upgrade chat, certain members have told me chat doesn't work now. It shows uploading for some while others have no problem. Yes they refresh.

Quick question, maybe someone had this happen and knows how to fixes it.. Once I upgrade chat, certain members have told me chat doesn't work now. It shows uploading for some while others have no problem. Yes they refresh.With these kind of things there are about 4 common options.

- The chat has errors (not likely, because you said some users can use the chat just fine)
- Some kind of permission problem. (not likely here, see previous)
- A problem with that users settings, browser etc. Maybe his current browser can't handle AJAX, for example, or has some other issues.
- A problem with that users internet. The chat seems to take some time to load even at fast connections, I can imagine it failing to load entirely if the internet connection just is too slow. No idea if it does, but it could be.

The easiest way to check is ask for someones password, so you can login and see if it works for you. If it is, there must be some kind of problem with that users computer / internet.

Hope this helps you a bit.

Ranger, since yer the man with all the infoz... :)

Trying to get this on my vBA, not using the module tho. It shows up and all, but I can't get it to get off Loading... and the OK button doesn't go to the right location. My vB is in a seperate folder from the site route. Running vb 3.8.2 and mgc 2.4.2

So I'm trying to find the locations in files where its pointing to just /mgc_cb_evo.php but I'm not having much luck. Have scoured the posts but nothing I change seems to have any effect.

[Saviour]

Well...I think I may have run into a bug and am requesting a fix, please...

After upgrading from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2...I get the following error when the bot replies to a query: See attached image

Looks like there may be a coding error...or something went wrong with the upgrade.

Is there a fix for this?

[Saviour]

Found out if I disable the NEW "@username" icon, I don't have the above issue.

So...any suggestions?

[scott81603]

Error console, paste the errors when you view with FF. ;)

OK Ranger. I found a lot of errors.... See attached image

How do I go about fixing it?

[Dustin_a31]

Yes. It's called search. ;)

No, it's not called search because with search it ONLY shows shouts/chats with the specified keywords and nothing else. meaning you can have a chat above it with the same keyword from a few hours ahead and the same below.

Not what I am looking for. I was sure I made this clear in my post.

As for downloading the archives, I am aware of this but find it inconvenient to download the entire archives and scan the bloody thing vs simply jumping to a position in the archive to see a log of an entire conversation.

Get what I mean?

This works wonderfully in Cyb's chatbox, I was hoping for a similar function here.

[Ranger187]

OK Ranger. I found a lot of errors.... See attached image

why doesnt the new avatars reflect on the chat panel? as in when the user uploads a new avatar?

I cannot see the avatars (see the image below) I thinks the path is wrong, for example:
The avatar path for this user: http://www.gstrail.es/foro/avatars/vintage-%user-id%.gif?dateline=1242495174

I have the avatar path in http://www.gstrail.es/foro/images/avatars/

Where I can change it?

Thanks

[Markos]

i cant get an answer on the main forum for this so i will ask here see the time in the chatbox does it pull it from the server or does it use the time zone you set the forum on cos my time is 2hrs faster than any other time that's on the forum :S

[danyz81]

Same for me Spika, i dont know how change it :\

[l_amhed]

Hi !

I didn't manage to get the bot working.

I've set some questions such as "What's up ?" and an answer. But it does not work.
I even done some copy/paste from the "Add a bot phrase"/"question" to be sure it's the perfect syntax but it failed.

What am I missing (Yes, the option is activated)?

[MGP_Tech]

I was just wondering if there is some way we can script in a new command?

I run a roleplaying website and it would be a GREAT feature if we could put in a /roll or /rps command that randomly inserts a number or rock/paper/scissors when someone types the command.

Thanks for your help.

An other problem I've got is that I'm using vBa CMPS. When I activate the module to have the chatbox on the vBa CMPS index it gave me this error :

This is a translation, sorry if you do not understand something.

Hi, everyone, do not know if this problem has already emerged in this thread, but with 5640 messages, it is an outrage, here's what I get updated to version 2.4.2.
In a laptop, I get this line of code:
Warning: in_array () [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path] / includes / mgc_cb_evo / class_misc.php on line 355
This comes on top of the forum.
In the other computer that does not leave, both of firefox.

I activated the audible beeps, but you can deactivate the alarm sound upgrade?, Very upset.

When I create a new topic is perfect, but when you reply to a message created get this error:
Responded to the issue: [ARG: 4 UNDEFINED]

Do not leave the buttons off the notifications, and sounds.

You have some tutorial in order to optimize this hack?

Thank you very much for this, hack, for me is perfect.

I admire your courage for us to have forums, best day.

A greeting.

[abouthere]

I have installed this mod; however no new post notifications are displayed. People can chat, use BBCode, smilies etc, but get no notifications.

Have I missed something obvious in the installation process?

Regards,

[Sador]

There is a sound notification available, if that's what you mean. It's one of the options and turned off by default.

[todomaquinas]

There is a sound notification available, if that's what you mean. It's one of the options and turned off by default.

If not notified, as you explain that puts it:

Notification sound when new messages
Sound notification when a new message in a channel

But that does not operate the same to me, the problem is that they see the new responses, and that goes wrong, as I said.

Regards.

[vgevolution]

Hi everyone. I couldn't wait for the CMPS module update, so I modded the existing one to use the new functions. :D

I've uploaded my version here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1892669&postcount=403), in the MGC Chatbox Evo for vBadvanced CMPS thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=169965&page=27). Not trying to hijack stangger5's work, just sharing my fixed module until he makes an official release.

If it works, let him know. Maybe it will help him finish his update.

[mp3u]

I finally got this installed and setup on my forum (3.8.1) but I've run into two problems.

I've searched the thread for answers but there are a few different answers - all tricky looking for a noob too. Just want to know if there is a consensus yet as to the ultimate fix for the following:

1) The chatbox stays permanently on 'loading' until you hit refresh

2) Having been able to use it without anything other than the above problem I now get the following error:

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

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

When I say I am a newbie I mean I have zero understanding of code, php etc and very littel to no understanding of server settings and db's etc.

Any dumbed down help would be very much appreciated.

[Sador]

1) The chatbox stays permanently on 'loading' until you hit refreshCould you be more specific? Does this happen to just you, or to all users? Does it only happen at the start, of do you need to refresh after every message input?

It could be that you're using an older browser, which doesn't support AJAX. In that case, other users shouldn't have the same problem (considering they use other browsers).

Hey Sador, thanks for the reply!

1) This problem happens to all users, across all browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox).

2) I have a few other Ajax mods on my forum which have never given any trouble plus I always keep my browsers up to date.

Also, the security token problem is showing up for all users on all browser types too. This only appeared today, yesterday was fine when I tested it - it could be something I changed in the Admin CP but I've tried everything I can think of and nothing has fixed it yet...

Also, I havent installed any other mods since.

If it used to work, what have you done/changed? Have you upgraded a plugin, the forum or the chatbox version? Something you did had an impact on this...

Disable all the plugins, then enable the chat. If it still fails, uninstall the chat (broken record part - backup your shi*) FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS.........

Once you do that, update all the plugins.....meaning manually check if there are any updates, and do so.....

Reinstall the chat................

Report.

[cheat-master30]

I had a problem with even extracting the files from the zip, you had blank files with the same name as the folders in the download which caused it to be nearly impossible to open. To the author; now I've fixed that for myself, do you want a version of the mod download without this problem to attach to this topic instead?

Sorry, but I'll have to say that's user error. Considering I've downloaded it since day 1 and about 200 times from here alone......

[cheat-master30]

I fixed it though. And now another problem, except only in the archive. It says 'Warning: in_array() [function.in-array (http://dsultimate.net/Board/upload/function.in-array)]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 136'

Again, you probably had a bad download.....reinstall.

[cheat-master30]

I'm sorry, but it's always a corrupt download, and only for the latest version. Every time, same thing. Open the zip file without extracting it, same thing. Stop always assuming user error, it's the biggest criticism I have of programmers in general, they can't accept they made a mistake in coding something rather than assuming everyone else screwed up.

[creppello]

Cheat Master, what program are you using to unpack it, 7Zip finally worked for me.

[jazde86]

...stupid...

btt please O.o

[cheat-master30]

Extracted with 7zip now, still doesn't help with the errors on the archive page. Some templates that have been edited when I used the last version have been reverted, but that also didn't work.

[cheat-master30]

For that matter...

7zip: Extracts files fine

FileZilla upload then ends up with the error with the archive, and possible non capability with Internet Explorer.

Windows built in file extraction on XP and Vista won't extract the zip file.

Upload direct through Plesk also didn't fix the problem with the archive.

Meh, I'll contact the modification author. It's worked fine in the past, and it's probably something simple.

This thing is very nice, excellent job on it. One question, is there a way to UN-ban someone from the chat? Or does one have to go into the database and change a marker?

[SuperDave71]

Good morning,

Could someone please help me. I believe I have my "special helmet" on too tight.

I have added the proper permissions to the bot feature in user groups and activated the plugin.

I added the questions and answers yet I see nothing.

Could someone be kind enough to do a play by play so I can test this?

Everything else seems to be working just fine.

Again here are the steps I followed.:

1. Activate the bot in the chatbox ? Set to yes.

2. NEW Bot's userid: Gave that merf a name

3. Bot chats format: <i>{1}</i> <----The Default setting

4. Under manage the bot: I added questions and answers.

5. Under User Groups: I added the Admin setting of "Can talk to bot" to yes.

What am I missing?

Added: I Also am having issues with the avatars showing up on in the chatbox. Ay ideas yet?

Thank you so much in advance!

[creppello]

Not sure, I used your settings and it worked for me......

[adnedarn]

This thing is very nice, excellent job on it. One question, is there a way to UN-ban someone from the chat? Or does one have to go into the database and change a marker?

/ban off uid userid : Unban the user specified by the userid passed as command parameter.
or
/ban off uname userid : Unban the user specified by the username passed as command parameter.
if you're not sure who is currently banned use:
/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.

These and more are all listed in the built in help for the chatbox (click the question mark in the lower right corner of box)

Hello,
how can change the french's words on my language?

Thnks!

Thnks!

There is an English patch. Upload with the language manager, refresh, and it changes to English. This.

If your main language is Italian and you want the English patch, use language manager to overwrite your Italian language with the patch. (it sh?uldn't have any effect on anything other than this mod, but I haven't tested it, so it's at your own risk)

If you want an Italian translation for this mod, I think you'll have to make one yourself.

Hope this helps.

I installed the chatbox, it worked fine but all of a sudden, the notifications(which are merged with the chats) are showing up above the chats, essentially acting like they are stickied. It is leaving very little room for the actual shouts. Anybody know why this would happen and how to get them back to normal(being treated like a regular chat, when a new chat is made the notification gets pushed down and the new chat is displayed on top of it)

Thanks for this, how to I change the .js file though? I can't seem to open it - do I need to download a program to create/tweak .js files? Dumb question I know... please help!

Use a text editor like wordpad or notepad.

Open wordpad for example and drag the .js file on top of it. You should see the text contained in the .js file.

Hope this helps!

I use one called Free Javascrpit Editor, and it works very well, as it colors different lines of code that do different things.

This.

If your main language is Italian and you want the English patch, use language manager to overwrite your Italian language with the patch. (it sh?uldn't have any effect on anything other than this mod, but I haven't tested it, so it's at your own risk)

If you want an Italian translation for this mod, I think you'll have to make one yourself.

Hope this helps.

Yep thanks :)
i will do so

Done that.. still getting all french

[Sador]

Done that.. still getting all frenchIn that case you didn't overwrite your language with the English patch I think. Go to language manager, browse to the patch, set 'overwrite language' to the language you're using on your forum, and set 'ignore language version' to yes.

That should do the trick.

[adnedarn]

I'm not sure if my situation has to do with some of you guys... but here is my experience on upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.4.2.

First off- I want to point out that I have been running this mod since the original versions came out, so I know my way around it pretty well. After doing the 2.2.1 to 2.4.2 upgrade I noticed some pretty major differences in my server load (as I've previously posted about) and my chats really took a LONG time to pop up. For a lot of people, they'd have to refresh, wait that period of up to 11 seconds for the chatbox to populate to see new chats, submit theirs, and refresh again to see new ones. A kind programmer kinda worked with me through some of the stuff to see if he could find any reason this was happening in VBDev's absence and mainly we worked on lessening the load of my settings... Changing refresh times, removing avatars, deleting the second hidden channel that only a few people use, disabling view of the chatbox for unregistered users etc. Initially that seemed to help, but over time it really didn't. I tried going back a version to 2.3.2 which was still a step above what I had, but I didn't know if I could go back to 2.2.1 because of the script I had to run... Well, that didn't help either.

Finally I gave up and figured I'd just delete the whole thing, all files, make sure there were no more tables in the database (had to manually drop 2) and do a fresh install. So I warned the users to take note of their font choices, and anything in archive they may need... and deleted it a few days later. I figured since I had it uninstalled I might as well get the paid version, so I did.
I ended up fresh installing the newest version 2.4.2 and boy let me tell you! It responds super fast, and the load on my server is dramatically decreased (not sure if that is the new version, the fact that it is fresh installed, or just using the settings the other coder suggested) but I just wanted to put it out there as a possible solution for any of you that have been going along doing the upgrades... There just may be something that ends up hanging around and causing some problems or of course it could have been just me :)

For visual aid I will attach 2 screen shots of my server's CPU usage one is a week view and one is a month view I have marked the graph to show what I did where, and the effect it had specifically on CPU use.

1) upgraded 2.2.1 to 2.4.2
2) programmer helped me change settings to lessen load
6) downgraded to 2.3.2
3) deleted old files, installed new version.. lost internet during settings set up
4) finished setting up shoubox settings, preformed database maintenance (had to run repair/optimize data base a LOT!)
5) rebooted server to get the ram size down from all the work I had been doing on the server the past month

So as you can see, the load is much lower now, and take my word for it-- this thing runs great! So if you're having a similar problem, you may just want to bite the bullet and remove it and do a fresh install you may have the same experience I have. I think we all know sometimes it's best to just delete something and start over.

Good luck and I love this shoutbox :D

This worked for me.....



One site I deal with they have set up really goofy, Their forums home page is not their .com page. I had to put files in both the forums directory as well as the publichtml directory, th3en upload the xml files.

That fix above cleared up all my problems though.

I made the changes to the 2 .js files in client scripts but it made no difference, I still have exactly the same problem. Permanently reloading until I hit refresh and security token missing if I try to make a post...

Same here. I was previously running 2.1.0 just fine.

[AdamFL]

I unistall it and now i'm running into more serious problem. I cannot edit any usergroup since ine the usergroup manager > the MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions are still there andi cannot do any edit.
I will appreciate any help resolving this issue and removing the MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions from the usergroups manager.
Never Mind guys I deleted all the files and it's ok now.
Thanks

Way to many errors after upgrading.

How To Change The Lang. From French To Eng

[Sador]

There is an English patch. Upload with the language manager by overwriting the language you use, logout, login, and it changes to English.Do note that if you have multiple languages on your forum, you might have to do this to every language to make it work.

[maidos]

thanks for the update but theres still some frenchlanguage when example Supprimer le chat when i right click the profileon eachchats asnd on admin control panel Gestion du bot
yes i did upload the english file included and yes i ignored and overwrote

btw seems the avatar is gone on sb :S

[Sador]

There are a view lines in French that will remain no matter how often you try to use the patch. For example, the /slap code will still be in French after installing the English patch.

Those few lines can be changed through the chatbox options in your admin CP though, just check all chat options one by one and changes them into whatever you want.

[maidos]

on admincp edit channel almost everthing there is french too...
did that and it still doesnt work

[Sador]

Have you overwritten every language on your board with the English patch? (so, if you have an English language and a German one, for example, you need to both overwrite the English language with the patch like I explained, and after that, you need to do the same thing to the German language)

I'm willing to try it for you, if you'd like.

[maidos]

board is english and yes i made sure to overwrite and ignore the version
but the main concern is the avatars not appearingon sb... i tried to set the right path on class_formatting but doesnt do much

[abouthere]

Hi,

I've been using this for a little while now and actually, what I want from it is to turn off the chat functionality and just use it as a tool to notify people of new posts / replies.

I know you can turn off the notifications and just have it as a chat box, but is it possible to set it up the other way around?

Cheers!

[adnedarn]

Off the top of my head, I would say remove each usergroups permission to use the chatbox (but leave permissions to view it) and have notifications melted with chats. That should show the notifications in the chatbox without anyone chatting there.

[OblivionMage]

If it used to work, what have you done/changed? Have you upgraded a plugin, the forum or the chatbox version? Something you did had an impact on this...

Disable all the plugins, then enable the chat. If it still fails, uninstall the chat (broken record part - backup your shi*) FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS.........

Once you do that, update all the plugins.....meaning manually check if there are any updates, and do so.....

Reinstall the chat................

Report.

I can't remember what I changed, if anything at all.

Yeah, all of them have been upgraded (it hasn't worked for a while - months, at least). I don't know what that something is, though. I've looked through everything I can find ;(

I've tried disabling plugins then using the chat, it doesn't change my results.

I've reinstalled the chat more times than I can count, always with the same errors.


I have a thread on the forum regarding this error: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1896823

Only one language Sador and i still have french...i have followed all your instructions to the letter but seems i cant get it in English

EDIT - Seems to have got the English now for some reason :)..but am now getting Array errors

[Sador]

Only one language Sador and i still have french...i have followed all your instructions to the letter but seems i cant get it in EnglishI really have no clue then. I've tried this a couple of times on my testboard and my regular board. At my testboard (with one language only) I only had to log out of the forum, log in again, and login to the admin panel.

At my regular board (2 languages) when I used overwrite on English only and did the logout thing, I noticed that some things in the Admin CP were English and some were still French. After doing the same to my other language everything was English like it was supposed to.

The only other thing I could think of is that your browser stores the language in your cache. You could try to logout of the admin CP, delete all cookies and cache, and login again, but I don't really know if that even helps.

[Roxie]

Admin panel as well as some moderation options on the shoutbox seem to be in French (even after updating the language with English).

[Roxie]

Re-importing the product seemed to fix it.

[papabear99]

Can FULL uninstall instructions be provided for those it does not work for?

Did you look under MGC Chatbox Evo > general options in the admin control panel? Options for width and height are there near the top.

Cheers andrew will check it now.

Yes this worked just as i wanted but only changes the size on my original theme if a user selects another theme the chat box is way too wide!
any ideas please?

[adnedarn]

So for "Width of the chatbox when integrated to a page of the forum" are you using a px size? Try using a %... So it will be a % of each theme regardless of what the width you have it set to is... So try 100% if that's still wider than you like try something like 90% and just keep playing with that till it fits your desire.
Andrew

[ProFifaLeagues]

Thanks that has solved the problems we had now!!!!!

[mp3u]

Uninstalled - can't get it to work at all, tried the fixes suggested in this thread but the chatbox stays permanently reloading until I manually hit refresh, then when I try to make a post I get a 'missing security token' message. Would love to get this to work, will reinstall next time their is an update.

[MalluParadise]

mp3u - [vB3.6.x-3.7.x-3.8.x]MGC_Chatbox_evo_2.3.2.zip use this version
latest version have alot of bugs !

[vgevolution]

What would be helpful for those having "Loading..." and security token issues is to let us all know if you're using vBAdvanced CMPS, and if so, is it installed to the same directory as vBulletin, and what version of both (vBa and vB) you're using.

Most problems seem to creep up when using vBAdvanced CMPS when it's installed in a different directory than vBulletin.

[Cyburbia]

I've installed this on a message board for someone else.

With the bot, it looks like a bot trigger can't be just part of what someone typed, but rather the entire entry.

Example: if I use "hello" as a bot question, it'll respond with an answer if someone typed "hello", but not "hello there".

Yes, this is how mine works as well

[Cyburbia]

I'm wondering if anyone knows a hack with a workaround, to allow bot triggers to be regex entries rather than complete, exact sentences?

Does anyone know how I can change the number of users to process per cycle for the mgc_cb_evo.php?do=update_before_2.3.0 script? I tried looking thru the php file but I am not sure what I need to change. My forum has over 20,000 members and I don't really wanna be here all year processing each user 1 by 1.

[Sador]

Does anyone else has problems with using the private conversation tab? It seems kinda buggy... the only thing that really bugs in my chat.

Avatars won't show up for me, I get a 1x1 transparent gif, unless it is an avatar that is uploaded to the site.

Any ideas or fixes?

You need to complete this step

To finish the upgrade, launch the script http://url_of_your_admincp/mgc_cb_evo.php?do=update_before_2.3.0 in your internet browser (replace url_of_your_admincp by the url of your admin control panel).

Thanks Joe

Hello, i just upgraded my MGC ChatBox from 2.3.2 to 2.4.2.
When i click on "Archives" i got lots of errors:
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 136

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php on line 420


Also when i click Help button in the ChatBox i get this error:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 771


I've uploaded all files few times to be sure i didn't miss a thing. I didn't have such problems before.
Any advice please?

[skylab]

beat!

[skylab]

I swear I´ve lost hair over this. Seems so simple too. I´m sure once I figure out how to put a simple HTML into the template, I´ll be kicking myself.

[skylab]

Hopeless...

[rcsgw]

Okay got mine working finally, but now i can't see the buttons on the chat box? what did i miss?

[skylab]

Glad you figured it out. Seems impossible on my end to simply put an html just in the template. only place i could figure it out is the header and it looks like shit there

[skylab]

More bumps

[Trescom]

Think i won't get any help except trolling.
Guess i will have to roll back to version 2.3.2.
