MGC Chatbox Evo

[Da-Vinci]

Yes please :) Keep me in touch.



See in previous page, the fix has been stated.



For forumhome, an option will be included in next version to allow display just below the navbar (and thus not next to the sidebar).

That's great thanks, I've managed to get it to display on the Showthread & Forumdisplay templates, but I've also noticed that the Post New Thread button is displayed above the Chatbox & if you have any sub forums they are displayed above the chatbox as is the New Thread button.

I really like the MGC, but could I suggest you simplify it slightly as there are so many settings it's hard to remember everything you've changed, plus if permissions could be added via the settings menu rather than via the Usergroup Manager.

I've also noticed a few minor vbugs lol sorry if I'm being picky. The text entry field doesn't change, I've set it to 600px but it's stayed on 200px there were one or two other things but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Anyway great work VB-Dev I look forward to future releases of the best Chatbox release on the VB scene. :D

[rfsforums]

My forum is made up of many private usergroup forums (companies), which I have created a channel for each. The problem is users forget that they are in the general channel and begin to discuss issues that should only be discussed in their private forum or private channel.

Thus the need to turn of or disable the general channel.

Thanks for your help!

Activating the Automatic Update not working properly, you have to press the refresh button so they load the talks, how could I solve this problem, thanks

Hi Cl?ment,

My forum is bilingual, english and french.

When I switch to french language, the date displays as
%20/%08/%2010 %0606%Aug
That's because you set the Locale as false in the vbdate() call (set to true by default)

To fix that I replaced all (except for archives where you merged date and time, so locale is not necessary)
$date = vbdate($this->registry->options['dateformat'], $chat['dateline'],true, false);with
$date = vbdate($this->registry->options['dateformat'], $chat['dateline'],true);I did the same for time.

[VBDev]

Ok thanks for pointing me out, I'll correct that.

[VBDev]

Beta test launched !

If you haven't received an email from me it's because you didn't send me your email address, if interested you still can PM it to me :)

[RobbieZ]

Thanks :D

Are these options only available in the pro version?

a) New registration notifications in the chatbox
b) IBProarcade notifications in the chatbox (New highscore and tournament won)

[VBDev]

You shouldn't be asking directly in this thread as per vB.org rules.

But yeah answer is yes.

[NathanLedet]

What do you mean by not working properly ?

Do you mean that you see the color names as shown on your screenshot and that the dropdown doesn't show color lines as it does on some windows machine ?

Yep - in IE, it shows the colors.


If so, it's normal, Safari and Chrome doesn't support the background-color css style for select option. There is nothing I could do about this unless I recode dropdown list and so on as it's done by vB for their dropdown list (but I don't have the time to do so sorry).

Ah OK - I understand that.

Thanks for the response :)

[furst]

ive installed this and all i get is a white page now for my forum, any suggestions? when i disable the product my forum is up and running again.


Any Ideas???

im using vbulletin v4.0.4


Have you applied the bug corrections stated in the first post ? (link near the reported bugs)


Do you mean to do all those bug error fixes? or is there one i should be specifically looking at? (regarding white screen issue)


?? im unsure if there is a specific fix for this or am i trying all the reported bugs fixes?

[kyle787]

I don't know what's going on but I can not get this to show up on my forum. I have it turned on and everything but to no avail. I'm using vb 4.0.6

http://www.tbkgaming.com/forum/

[Lionel]

how would I go about creating a custom command for this version? I used to use <1.0 which had built in custom commands, not sure how I'd add it here.

Was that implemented?

[Lionel]

OK, never mind. I added the extra command /kiss.

I also made it truly multilingual by using a phrase in class_formatting.php. I used the same name as setting

$text = construct_phrase($vbphrase['mgc_cb_evo_cmd_slap_phrase'], $user['username'], $chat['text']);

$text = construct_phrase($vbphrase['mgc_cb_evo_cmd_kiss_phrase'], $user['username'], $chat['text']);

[VBDev]

That's great thanks, I've managed to get it to display on the Showthread & Forumdisplay templates, but I've also noticed that the Post New Thread button is displayed above the Chatbox & if you have any sub forums they are displayed above the chatbox as is the New Thread button.

The new options are highlighted by a little NEW in red so easy to follow.
There are a lot of settings because I want to allow user to customize the chatbox to their own needs.

About usergroups, I could perhaps do an own page to set the usergroup permissions of each groups at once only for chatbox part, a sort of extract from the usergroup permissions. Is this what you need ?


The text entry field doesn't change, I've set it to 600px but it's stayed on 200px there were one or two other things but I can't remember them off the top of my head.


This is in the reported bug list and this has been fixed in the next release.

Thanks, I don't pretend to be the best chatbox release ;) At least I do my best to provide a good product and have fun doing it :D

Quick answers :
- Have you set usergroup permissions ?
- Have you tried different options of position ?

OK, never mind. I added the extra command /kiss.

I also made it truly multilingual by using a phrase in class_formatting.php. I used the same name as setting

$text = construct_phrase($vbphrase['mgc_cb_evo_cmd_slap_phrase'], $user['username'], $chat['text']);

$text = construct_phrase($vbphrase['mgc_cb_evo_cmd_kiss_phrase'], $user['username'], $chat['text']);

That mean users have to go edit a phrase to edit the command syntax ?

For the slap that won't work as is in the next version as I implemented the possibility to add multiple slap sentences.

Your kiss command is interesting, I might implement that.

Your kiss command is interesting, I might implement that.

I had actually added it as a vboptions then thought it would be better to use a phrase.

I simply created the phrase using the same setting name and replaced the call with

$text = construct_phrase($vbphrase['mgc_cb_evo_cmd_slap_phrase'], $user['username'], $chat['text']);

So all you would have to do would be to create the phrase if you are adding extra settings

I love the fact that when you switch language the command that was already sent also changes.

in English: userXX sends a kiss to YY

and switch language it displays

userXX envoie un bisou ? YY

If you are adding the slaps dynamically you could always insert the phrase like they do in notices, using slap_{slapid}_html.

If it's extra vBoptions then you already know the name

[VBDev]

So all you would have to do would be to create the phrase if you are adding extra settings


I haven't created multiple settings, I just changed the input to a textarea in the options and each slap phrase is on a line so that ain't possible ;)

Yes I do agree with you but that means the admin has to be multilingual speaker ;)

If it's extra vBoptions then you already know the name

You gotta explain this a bit more to me :)

[Lionel]

OK, I'll give you an example of what I just did. I am using Bobster tabbed forumhome mod.

Every time I add a tab, I do:

$tabid = $db->insert_id();
$db->query_write("
REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase
(languageid, varname, text, product, fieldname, username, dateline, version)
VALUES (
0,
'tab_{$tabid}_html',
'" . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->GPC['name']) . "',
'bobster_tfh',
'global',
'" . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->userinfo['username']) . "',
" . TIMENOW . ",
'" . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->options['templateversion']) . "'
)
");
require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions_language.php');
build_language(-1);That inserts a phrase for that tab.

When I edit the tab, I already have the tabid, so I do

$phrase = $db->query_first("
SELECT phraseid, varname, text
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase
WHERE varname = 'tab_{$vbulletin->GPC['id']}_html'
AND languageid = 0
");And below the tab name in edit mode, I do for translation link

print_description_row($vbulletin->GPC['id'] ? '<div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:6px"><a href="phrase.php?do=edit&amp;fieldname=global&amp;phraseid=' . $phrase['phraseid'] . '" target="translate">' . $vbphrase['translations'] . '</a></div>' : '');In forumhome, Bobster displays the tab like that

$yui->add_tab($tab['name'], true, 'tabindex.php?' . $content, $active, $tab['cache'], $tab['limitto']); So I simply did

$tabid = $tab['tabid'];
$tabname = 'tab_' . $tabid . '_html';
if($tab['iden'] == 'm')
{
$tabname = 'tabmodule_' . $tabid . '_html';
}
$tab['name'] = $vbphrase[$tabname]; (the extra code is for the modules which I also did but did not include in example)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, in your case, since you are doing one per line, then you'd have to insert them each with a unique id or that will not work, unless you tag them with an $i value. And that could be complicated.

[kyle787]

I got it, thanks.

[Tailfeathers]

I am having a small issue with this. If I have it set to display in forums, it works just fine; however if I try to limit it to just one forum (id 8), then it does not show in any forums (not even forum 8). Any ideas?

[ikki29]

Might be due to existing bugs.


ok, how could I fix it please or else it may fix those bugs

[furst]

You should apply all the bug fixes that exist.

Ive applied all fixes except:

Problem with missing class_display.php file in vB3 [See here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2042578&postcount=6367) for a fix]

Im using V4 so i skipped this one, is that correct?

Also this one doesnt seem to link to a fix?

Smilies don't get added to the chatbox when in the "more" windows [See here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2044821&postcount=6448) for a fix]

After applying the fixes i am still getting a white page on my forum with product enabled. If i disable the product the forum is working again.

Any more suggestions? I would really like this chatbox to work on my forum.

Have you tried reinstalling?

[furst]

yes ive tried uninstalling, deleting files and reinstalling several times, i really dont get whats up.

[will555559]

hmm idk then..maybe it conflicts with another mod you have installed but idk if that could happen just throwing stuff out there.

[VBDev]

Dear All,

As of the latest advance on the chatbox I was wondering if it would be better or not to move the notifications as a specific mod but still with the possibility to have those notifications in a column in the chatbox (but not melted with chats anymore).

Therefore I'd like to have your advice, what do you think ?

[RobbieZ]

Option to allow either/or VBDev??

[morrow]

To solve the loading issue, edit the file mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php

look for

$jsvars .= "var mgc_cb_evo_height = " . $chatbox_height . ";\n";

and change it to

$jsvars .= "var mgc_cb_evo_height = \"" . $chatbox_height . "\";\n";

Excellent. Thank You!

I meant have the option to allow notifications 'melted' or in their own column.

Do you have specific commands active ?

Yep tested and it's indeed buggy, I'll look into it for next release.

I meant have the option to allow notifications 'melted' or in their own column.

That's is already possible but if I was separating the notifications from the chatbox (in a own mod), then the chats couldn't be melted with the chats but still could be put in a separate column.

Interesting. I have three of those commands disabled by default: announcement, pm and team. If I enable those (i.e. all commands enabled), I get twelve warnings instead of three:

[Deimos]

Is it possible to display the FULL chat on a specific page? Rather than the standard/small chat?

I added $mgc_cb_evo_var to a page and it displays fine, but i'd rather see the full chat window

Or, is it possible to edit the template? or display of the full page, so I can add a video feed to it?

[STORMS]

How do you unban someone? There's no option for it that I can see..

[kathie]

Thanks for this; it seems i've actually loaded it properly the first time (which is a miracle in and of itself, let me tell you!) but I do have a couple of issues I hope you can help me solve.

I did import the Lang file, and followed all those directions; however, the initial 'type chat here' is in French, as well as all other 'fill in box' phrases/words. Also, in the admin control panel, while all the directions/individual pages are in English, the pulldown box titles under 'MGC Chatbox Evo' are also in French.

I can't seem to find an option to change those to English, other than translating them individually. Any suggestions?

One other stupid question - where can I change the color of the box?

Thanks again!

[STORMS]

Is there a way to unban someone in the MGC Chatbox?

We were testing the ban process on our site and it permanently banned a helpful member from the chatbox?

Please respond, any info welcome.

You can change chat here in Chats formatting and sending in the admincp, look around and you will see where to edit the other fill in boxes.

There are options that need to be set to your expected text in english.

I'll in the next release provide translation to those who only want default text (with instructions of course on how to install it).

The pop up opens but it says i haven't banned any users when I have... :S

[will555559]

The pop up opens but it says i haven't banned any users when I have... :S

Well, I believe it depends on how you banned the person. If you click the ban user in the drop down menu next to their name, I believe that is a cron job so it will unban them automatically after some time. If you use the /ban syntax and specify for a certain amount of days or whatever, you can use /ban show to unban the person.

Yes there were but it was reported before them,but there was /slap commands at the time of the report.

Ok well replace the multiple occurences of :
nchattd.innerHTML = xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

By :

if (xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild != null)
{
nchattd.innerHTML = xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
else
{
nchattd.innerHTML = '';
}


That should fix it, let me know please.

Cheers m8 that seems to have worked a treat,at least on my test site :)

Will try the main site now for a while and let you know definitively,

Many thanks m8.

When I uninstalled this modification it didn't fully remove it self. There's still bits of it stuck in vBulletin's usergroup Admin Panel area.

Are you sure you removed the file from your admincp folder?

[Hauk]

For everyone having the problem where when you load the page and the chatbox sticks on "Loading..." the problem is that in /mgc_cb_evo/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_functions.js mgc_oldvb3 is not defined, in the beginning where theres all the vars are defined, add:
var mgc_oldvb3 = 0;
and it will work!

[Rich_Princess]

Hey, I was hoping ot get a little help here:) I am trying to install this onto my forum here.. I seem to have successfully installed it, but only one problem.. I can not seem to get the chatbox to display in the specified forum. When options are set to show on forum index, it works fine. I added the forum in settings to only show in that forum and it is not working. The forum ID is 57-Staff-Chat-Room... Any suggestions to get this fixed? Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions!

[kronnos]

Can someone please help me get rid of the gap after the chatbox.

I changed the position of the chatbox by editing the Display management plugin like:

FROM:

{
$mgc_cb_evo_type_position = "forumhome_below";
$mgc_cb_evo_insert_type = 'replace';
$mgc_cb_evo_insert_template = 'FORUMHOME';
$mgc_cb_evo_replace = ' $mgc_cb_evo ';
$mgc_cb_evo_find = '$forumhome_markread_script';
$mgc_cb_evo_brb = '<br />';
$mgc_cb_evo_bra = ' ';
}
}
break;

TO:


{
$mgc_cb_evo_type_position = "forumdisplay_below";
$mgc_cb_evo_insert_type = 'replace';
$mgc_cb_evo_insert_template = 'FORUMDISPLAY';
$mgc_cb_evo_replace = ' $mgc_cb_evo ';
$mgc_cb_evo_find = 'custom phrase';
}
}
break;

Now there is a gap between the next object.

Before the upgrade, I had the chatbox in that position without any gaps. Is there another place that in the new 3 version, there is a BR in some other related chatbox plugin?


BTW, The chatbox is just showing "Loading..." until the I click the reload button inside the chatbox. When clicking reload in browser does not help


Thanks!

[cindy helmond]

i do this for 100 times install the language file overwrite but i get in the admin french language how i can fix this please ??
Thx

SOLVED !!

[Tahooma]

After uninstall the options in my usergroup stetting do not disappear :(
How to solve this ?
I cant even make any changes in my admincp any more

[furst]

When i unzip the rar file there are several folders in there, the install instructions only say to upload the images folder and files folder, do i need to anything with the others? such as channel_icons, language, archives, changelog? product folder has the file to be imported via admincp right?

Im just trying to find out why im getting this white screen crap, if anyone could assist me in finding out if these additional folders are supposed to be uploaded aswell?

Also in the admincp folder there is a file called mgc_cb_evo.php, there is also a file called this in the files folder (the folder that admincp folder is in), are they the same file? do both have to be uploaded?

also im not sure if i fully understand this

Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories.Im just uploading the files into my /images/misc folder, is that correct?

Open it up in FireFox, let the page finish loading and click Tools -> Error Console, scroll down to the bottom and see if theres an error, it will have a red x icon.

Is it possible to make certain Colors in the Chat for the Team?

Is it possible to add other Colors?

[mauro269]

mmm, I've installed all following the readme file in the zip...I've also activated the chat from the chat settings, but I still don't see the chat.
What should I do to see it?
Thanks

Did you set usergroup permissions?

[mauro269]

Did you set usergroup permissions?

Yes. Should I have to modify something in the template code?I'm using default vbulletin theme.

[wiz569]

Ok well replace the multiple occurences of :
nchattd.innerHTML = xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

By :

if (xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild != null)
{
nchattd.innerHTML = xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
else
{
nchattd.innerHTML = '';
}


That should fix it, let me know please.

Cheers m8 that seems to have worked a treat,at least on my test site :)

Will try the main site now for a while and let you know definitively,

Many thanks m8.

Just to let you know this is now working flawlessly on my main site,
thanks for your help m8 ;)

Those are warnings, it should be a js error thats stopping it from loading, if thats all you have then it should be loading...

[IndyParts]

I just got done loading this and the install went great, but I am having the same issue where it is getting stuck on the loading. I have setup permissions and made he mod to add the VAR line to the mgc_cb_evo_functions.js with the same results. Any other ideas?

[kronnos]

Yep, no js error. The strange thing is that it doesn't even seen to be loading when Loading is displayed. I remember in other versions, when it was loading "Loading..." the 3 after dots were blinking to tell you it was loading. Now its just stayes there as "Loading...", I can hightlight it and copy, it even shows the word "Loading..." when i look at the source code via firefox.

Seem the same as my issue.

[Barteh]

Would it somehow be possible to allow [url] tags, but none of the other formatting bbcode?
In fact, I'd love to have the chatbox automatically recognise and convert URLs the way the normal post box does.

*EDIT* must've overlooked the URL BBcode toggle. Still, automatic recognition would be a great addition.

[darsalles]

I imported the english xml, but there still phrases on French. Like the options on AdminCP and a text on the input field of the chat:

"Entrez votre chat" :S

[hoof]

I would love to hear how everyone is using the bot. I have been testing/playing with it and having fun :D

What type of questions are you using?

[will555559]

I imported the english xml, but there still phrases on French. Like the options on AdminCP and a text on the input field of the chat:

"Entrez votre chat" :S

Admin CP > MGC Chatbox Evo > Chats Formatting > Message to display in the input field on page load.

[darsalles]

Thanks now working :D

[ScornMan]

Maybe this is a dumb question but i got this working but for some reason the buttons don't have images. where exactly am I supposed to install the images in my directory?

[isyaa]

I have already did all the instructions in the readme and i am able to see the options in cpanel but i don't see the chatbox in the actual forum. :[ im using 4.0.6 help please? i activated the forums already and stuff..

Seem the same as my issue.

Does it load if you click the refresh button or chat in it for you guys?

[snowlion]

Does it load if you click the refresh button or chat in it for you guys?

No, refresh button doesn't work also chat in it, I can only view chat content in archive after submit chat in Loading... screen :(.

[Ranger187]

Negative ghostrider. I'm guessing you didn't goto the usergroups and enable it. ;) You might also have to revert your templates.

[VBDev]

Hey, I was hoping ot get a little help here:) I am trying to install this onto my forum here.. I seem to have successfully installed it, but only one problem.. I can not seem to get the chatbox to display in the specified forum. When options are set to show on forum index, it works fine. I added the forum in settings to only show in that forum and it is not working. The forum ID is 57-Staff-Chat-Room... Any suggestions to get this fixed? Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions!

The option to display the chatbox on specific page only is buggy in the current version (but fixed in the next).

However, can you tell me what you input in that particular field because specifiying an url won't work, it's based on the THIS_SCRIPT var. But please post a screenshot of the options.

When i unzip the rar file there are several folders in there, the install instructions only say to upload the images folder and files folder, do i need to anything with the others? such as channel_icons, language, archives, changelog? product folder has the file to be imported via admincp right?

Lang has to be imported as well as products.

Other folders are not to be taken into account for upload.


Also in the admincp folder there is a file called mgc_cb_evo.php, there is also a file called this in the files folder (the folder that admincp folder is in), are they the same file? do both have to be uploaded?

No different files one is the admin page the other is the archives, download, full page mode page.


Im just uploading the files into my /images/misc folder, is that correct?

Yes for the image If you are using default style, otherwise you also have to upload that into your style misc directory too.

Is it possible to make certain Colors in the Chat for the Team?

No colors aren't based on usergroups.


Is it possible to add other Colors?

Yes but only in the next release.

Just to let you know this is now working flawlessly on my main site,
thanks for your help m8 ;)

Glad to know :)

In fact, I'd love to have the chatbox automatically recognise and convert URLs the way the normal post box does.

*EDIT* must've overlooked the URL BBcode toggle. Still, automatic recognition would be a great addition.

Ain't possible, URL are parsed by vB BBCode parser so if URL BBCode is not ON, automatic recognition is not possible.

[VBDev]

No, refresh button doesn't work also chat in it, I can only view chat content in archive after submit chat in Loading... screen :(.

Have you done a fresh install or an update ?

I have already did all the instructions in the readme and i am able to see the options in cpanel but i don't see the chatbox in the actual forum. :[ im using 4.0.6 help please? i activated the forums already and stuff..

Have you set usergroup permissions ?

[mikeinjersey]

does this chat mod work solely on its own....or do I have to purchase a seperate flash chat module from another site for it to work ?

Yes, I did a fresh install

Any error if you look in the js console of firefox ?

No, you do not need them. I think he uses a Mac so it creates those files.

I can't seem to get the sound notifications to work. I have them enabled in all areas. In admin settings and in profile settings.

#1 no quick fix ? like maybe increasing file permissions on the sound file or something ?

#2 Also, is there anyway to find out the IP address of unregistered / guest users in the chat ?

#3 no word censor either in the chat?

[Alfa1]

The 'edit options' page in vbulletin is still blanked out in version 3.0
The previous version has a security problem in it, so I cant downgrade to that without opening my staff chat to non-staff. So downgrading is not an option.

Is there any news about the new version its ETA? Beta testing (http://www.forumcoding.com/project.php?projectid=6) version 3.1 has begun 3 weeks ago.

[apokphp]

There seems to be an IE 8 bug. I can't make shouts using IE, but I can with FF 3.6.

Also, may shouts just don't show up in IE 8, but they do in FF.

I can type a chat in IE8, it won't display at all. I then view the site in FF, and the shout that didn't show up in IE...is seen in FF.

Very screwy.

I have started fixing the bugs that were reported (there were almost 30 :D).

There seems to be an IE 8 bug. I can't make shouts using IE, but I can with FF 3.6.

?! Problem is only with chatting ? Do you have an account on forumcoding to see in the live chatbox if there is the same issue ?

[apokphp]

I created an account there and tested. It works fine. I'm using vrs 3.0. I don't know why it's acting up on my board and not on yours (I'm using the lite version of course...and you have the pro). I haven't modified any of the files. Perhaps it's conflicting w/ other mods?

I have deleted all temp files, cookies, cache, etc.... from IE 8...still same issue.

[Alfa1]

???
I meant that the 'edit options' error that is reported many times in this thread is in 3.0
I also referred to the issue in previous versions where members can go into any chat room, even if it is a restricted channel. i.e. staff channel.
I have started fixing the bugs that were reported (there were almost 30 :D).Thanks for the headsup.

[Tri@de]

there's a way to store in db the chat archive?
i want to store all the chat and delete them after x days.
I saw if i delete the chat, i also delete the archive.

[ProFifaLeagues]

Just done the upgrade form 4.3 to 4.6 and now the chats not showing any chat just constant refreshing any ideas please guys???

[ProFifaLeagues]

All sorted :)
Think it was just a browser issue

[DoubleGlasses]

I installed this successfully but then I noticed that there is a bit of lingering french.

1 - on the chat room where it says - enter user name - I see Entrez votre chat or something to that effect.

2 - in the admin cp - the menu on the left is in french but when I select the options they are in English.

Any idea on how to fix this? #2 isn't a major issue for me - but with #1 it is a bit odd for users.

Aside from those two quirks - I'm actually quite thrilled with this mod. It's exactly what I was looking for.:D

I should add I'm on 4.0.7

[DoubleGlasses]

At the risk of asking something that's already been answered :o ......

I seem to be having trouble displaying a channel in a forum. It displays on the home page with no problem, but when I select a forum for a channel to display in - the chat box doesn't appear in that forum. I posted a screenshot below to see if I'm somehow missing something.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Please let me know if there's something else I'm supposed to be doing to get this to work.
Oh and I'm on 4.0.7

I'm using the Black Stealth theme - but this problem persists across all themes I have including the default vbulletin one.

I created an account there and tested. It works fine. I'm using vrs 3.0. I don't know why it's acting up on my board and not on yours (I'm using the lite version of course...and you have the pro). I haven't modified any of the files. Perhaps it's conflicting w/ other mods?

I have deleted all temp files, cookies, cache, etc.... from IE 8...still same issue.

There is no huge difference between both version as one is a BF in fact.

I meant that the 'edit options' error that is reported many times in this thread is in 3.0

I also referred to the issue in previous versions where members can go into any chat room, even if it is a restricted channel. i.e. staff channel.
Thanks for the headsup.

Oh ok, both have been fixed in the upcoming version.

there's a way to store in db the chat archive?
i want to store all the chat and delete them after x days.
I saw if i delete the chat, i also delete the archive.

You mean move them to another place in the db to keep a track of them available somewhere else ?

At the risk of asking something that's already been answered :o ......

I seem to be having trouble displaying a channel in a forum. It displays on the home page with no problem, but when I select a forum for a channel to display in - the chat box doesn't appear in that forum. I posted a screenshot below to see if I'm somehow missing something.

http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/3058/mgcscreenshot.png

Please let me know if there's something else I'm supposed to be doing to get this to work.
Oh and I'm on 4.0.7

I'm using the Black Stealth theme - but this problem persists across all themes I have including the default vbulletin one.

Thanks

IT's a bug, if you look at other forums you will see chatbox appearing. IT's doing the contrary of what it's supposed to ^^

[Tri@de]

Yes
I mean to clear the chats but still have an archive to look on it.
Just a "visual" clean but all chats logs availables

[Gkzed]

Is there a way to show the chat box on the home page of my website which is ran by wordpress?

[Kraxell]

Hello,

i want to configure the bot but it seems doesnt work?

Someone can tell me step to step what i must change to enable the bot?

forgot the usergroup-perm.

it works now :)

[baker21]

Hey guys whats up,

sorry for being such a newbie but I jsut DL this MOD and have successfully added it and installed it to my VB4.07.

I just got the New VB SUITE 4.07 DL installed and also have a default template and another template called Blackstream.. Yes I uploaded the image/misc files to both folders.

I can not get the chat box to show up on my forum or my forum home page or front page.. I want it to show in simply in the forum. Underneath the NAVBAR.

I would imagine there is some type of code that prob needs to be added to a tEMPLATE, There are over 500 pages of discussion, i have been going through them in frustration.

It would be great if someone could make a tutorial to tell ppl how to actually make the chat box appear on the forum page.. And for that tutorial to be included in the README file..

I know it may seem dumb to people who know code and know how VB works, but I am clueless on what code to add and where..

I see stuff in custom options that says for VB4.x.x NEW add template here but I am clueless..

I got 4.07 and i jsut want to show chat in Forum and Home page..

Please help and I will make a tutorial for uses for future..

Only reason I know about adding a code to a template file is bc I did it with old chat box but that told me what to add and where! Inferno it was.. Maybe i will ahve to go back to it.. This one seems better but if I cant get it installed it does me no good..

I mean it installed correctly.. I have access to settings.. I jsut cant get it to show on frontend in my blackstalk2 template or default template.. I added language and all that.. followed directions to a tee but directions stop before helping ppl get VB4.07 publishing suite upo in running.

thanks

Update: I have tried adding {vb:raw mgc_cb_evo_var} to Forum Home, NAVBAR, and other templates trying tog et it to show up but no luck at all.. Please help me out to get chatbox to display in Vbsuite4.07 with template VB-blackstream.. thanks

NEW UPDATE:

DONT YOU THINK IT WOULD BE NICE TO TELL PEOPLE WHO DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM, IN THE README FILE, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GO AND EDIT THE USER GROUP SETTINGS FOR ADMIN AND REGISTERED USERS??

tHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE README FILE.. CONSIDERING THE DOWNLOAD OF THIS PRODUCT ADDS ALL NEW CATEGORY TO THE USER GROUP OPTIONS I THINK ITS PRETTY IMPORTANT TO ELT PEOPLE KNOW WHAT TO CHANGE.. PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE READ ME FILE.. WHY YOU WOULD WANT PEOPLE TO STRUGGLE EBATS ME.. BUT IT GAVE ME A HEADACHE FOR 3 HOURS.. THANKS..

I've just checked my installation instructions and found this .....

Fresh install without chats importing
5. Installation is finished, you just have to set the permissions of your usergroups so that they can see the chatbox,

So, did you finally get it working?

[Skyrider]

Keep getting reports of that he chatbox is not automatically scrolling down when visiting the chatbox, any fix for this?

[Pro-eSports.com]

Where can I change the language from french to english? I followed the instructions in the readme file and uploaded the english language but what now?

vB 4.0.7

EDIT: Nevermind, I just uploaded the english.xml file again and this time it worked.

EDIT: Where do I have to upload the images to have them displayed in the chat instead of the text?

[cobraska]

hi, 1st of all awesome plugin:
got a problem with commands /slap and /me; both are blocking the refresh, exclusively on ie7 and ie8 browsers.
any fix for that?

thx

[thedvs]

doesnt matter what i do, all the permissions are set properly, an unregistered seems to be able to make a post.

its that or some kind of bug where an member has idled, then his cookie/timer ran out for login then tried to make a shout and shows up as unregistered??

anyone else getting this issue?

[Lustikus]

Good work, donation would be indicatied for this. Currently only waiting for next version including vbadvanced side modul as requested and promissed in the upcoming version ;-)

[zstewart]

Hrm installed and working if I goto http://xxxx.com/xxx/mgc_cb_evo.php but not showing on my home page made the user settings to show and everything any ideas ver 4.0.7

[zstewart]

Its like its almost not embedding its self on the front page above the navbar hrm...

[baker21]

I did get the permissions set and do have it working.. Again I am using VB 4.07 and I have it showing on the Forum Page at the Top of the page. However, I want to add the chatbox to other pages in the forum and also in the HOME CMS.. Mainly at the bottom.. I tried the custom settings given and it put the box in a funny place and dont look right..

I know I have to add the code{vb:raw mgc_cb_evo_var} to some template somewhere. I try adding the code but nothing is showing up. I also enabled it in the settings for custom variable..

What else needs to be filled in in the settings? what do i put in the boxes for global Var and Template?

I am using Blackstream template v2.. VB Suite 4.07..

I do have it working though and just edited the css and its a great mod.. But i want to be able to feature it at the bottom of my Forums threads..

any help at all would be great?

Also as for the usergroup permissions. I dont know French at all.. I know this program was written prob from a french guy.. Thanks for the tip.. They should update the readme directions for english to help ppl out who arent VB whizzes like myself.

[zstewart]

lol you got farther than I did. Was running on my 3.8.4 but upgraded to 4.0.7 and upgraded chat and not showing at all on the front page did everything it said here even delete and reinstalled etc...

# Upload the content of the Files folder in your forum root.
# Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories.
# Log into the admin control panel of your forum and import the product located in the Product folder.
# 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.

# Installation is finished, you just have to set the permissions of your usergroups so that they can see the chatbox

[zstewart]

NVM found the problem if i revert back to the default theme it works so its something in my theme that wont allow it hrmmmm... Ideas?

[DoubleGlasses]

Thanks to DoubleGlasses for his kind donation :)

cough cough ** her **

We always assume it's a dude :)

You are most welcome - I'm loving this mod!

[sectomy]

mmh... anyone know how to disable the vertical scrollbar when put the chatbox on the left side on VBa ?
i only got the solution to edit the "standard size of the whole page".....

Hi,

I upgraded to this a few weeks ago, still running 3.8.6 patch lvl 1, and when I go to the UserCP and click on 'edit options' this comes up any way of fixing this

Could you please post the fix for the edit options bug? I dont need a new version. Just that one bug fix. Hundreds of members are complaining.

What's that bug and which version are you using?

[Alfa1]

What's that bug and which version are you using?
The bug that many in this thread are experiencing with version 3.0.0:
UserCP > edit options doesn't open, but gives this error:
Warning: require_once([path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_display.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/profile.php(4553) : eval()'d code on line 71

A side note about MGC Chatbox:
While I give chat access to only 0.3% of my members and the MGC chat settings are set to be as resource friendly as can by, its still my sites top resource hog.

The chat box is absorbing 1.3 million (7% of all) connections and 2.1 GB (2% of all) bandwidth on my big board.

It would be very useful if the MGC chat box would be optimized for performance.

[Lionel]

Remind me next week and I'll look into it for you. I have to go to NY on Wednesday

[Alfa1]

Thanks Lionel.

[tafreeh]

any update on new version ?

[Alfa1]

The fix is attached. it only took 1 minute to fix it.

The attached xml fixes the fatal error above that disables 'edit options'.

Enjoy.

[rknight111]

I installed with Overwrite selected and

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/profile.php(4553) : eval()'d code on line 100

It looks to have a different line number now its line 100, thanks for trying

[Alfa1]

Strange. This fixed it for me.
The issue that is causing this bug is that the [path] is wrong. On my site it was looking for /public_html/forum/forum/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php

Mind the double mention of 'forum'. Look up what the script is searching for on your forum.

[rknight111]

Right, its looking for this on my site

'/home/snowandm/public_html/forum/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php

I cannot find this mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php in my forum/includes folder under forum. So I looked on the software I downloaded and its not there either.
I downloaded again and Im not a computer brain but should'nt there be a folder inside of the includes folder called " mgc_cb_evo " then when you go there a php program called class_misc.php?

[Alfa1]

You are correct. That folder existed in previous versions. I still had the old folder with the old file.

Its strange that this version refers to a folder of previous versions.

Try to create the folder and upload the file to there. See if that resolves it.

[red-dna]

Hello there, is there any option or plan for the future, to have the chat box work on the Sidebar Block? And not in the forum home top as it is at the moment?

[rknight111]

FIXED!

I went in and added mgc_cb_evo directory to the forum/includes/ folder
made that directory 755, then added the class_misc.php file to that directory, I found that in the classes directory. Im not sure if this is done correctly but the error is gone.:D

[Vikingant]

Apologies for sounding so vague, but in the read me file, what exactly is meant by
Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories.

Do I do this via FTP? I am having trouble finding the forum style directories.

Thank you

[Vikingant]

OK. As is often the case I have found it....but now the chatbox manager is in French?!?!
Help please

Q1 : That would be textarea .bginput class

Q2 : Long shouts are going to self wrap otherwise your forum width would become the length of the shout, makes no sense!

[argothiusz]

Lets say I have a different website on the same server but I want to include the chatbox on my website.

Is there anyway to add the chatbox into my website php page?

[Pro-eSports.com]

Q1 : That would be textarea .bginput class

Q2 : Long shouts are going to self wrap otherwise your forum width would become the length of the shout, makes no sense!

Can you be a bit more specific please? I searched in templates for "textarea .bginput" without result. When I search for ".bginput" it only shows blog.css, vbulletin-ie.css and replacement-vbulletin-ie.css.

Thanks in advance. ;)

[RobbieZ]

I guess VBDev is using a global call to .bginput, you would need to ask him over at forumcoding for a more thorough answer.

[rknight111]

Havn't had any issues sine I added that file as per my last instructions so I would say its fixed. So if any one else has issues with the User CP>Edit options then an error shows up theres an easy fix for it.

[jazde86]

User CP bug:
VBDev forgot to update the path within the vB 3 plugin, in the vB 4 it's correct.

To resolve the issue, go in your Admin CP to Manage Plugins and search for the User option add in profile vB3 plugin. Open it and change the path two times:

From:
/includes/mgc_cb_evo/
To:
/mgc_cb_evo/classes/

1:
// Instantiate display class
require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php');
$MGCCbEvoDisplay = new MGCCbEvo_display($vbulletin,$MGCCbEvoCore);

2:
// Channel selector
if ($MGCCbEvoCore->evo_permissions->can_select_default_channel())
{
require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_misc.php');
$MGCCbEvoMisc = new MGCCbEvo_misc($vbulletin,$MGCCbEvoCore);
$show['chan_sel'] = 1;
$channel_select = $MGCCbEvoMisc->construct_default_channel_selector();
}

It's so easy! :eek: :D

[Fishing620]

Hello

Thanks for this mod. We installed it on our forum (http://www.tidalfish.com/forums/forum.php). Like what it does and its features (donated to you today via pay pal).

Few issues we are having
1) When I go to stick a post I get a box that pops up with " Are you sure you want to sticky this chat ?" The only option I have is an "x" in the upper right to make the box go away. When I do that the post that I want to stick does not stick. Suggestions?

2) On the channels, I assume this means you can have different chats appear on different forums? I tried that and it does not seem to work?

3) More of a question, can you have other items show up in the chat such as recently posted articles or threads? or does everything have to be put in manually?

Thanks for your work, very much appreciated.

If you do that, english must show... expect if you use another language :) Also, try with other browser to see did you have problem with cached page (maybe)!

[dom020876]

hi there, iv gone through 4 pages looking an answer to my question and to no avail, so here i go,

i have an issue with the settings being saved after a page reload, ie;

the user loads the forum page with the cb active, he then goes to minimize the smilies drop line box, minimize the bbcode drop down line. he then refreshes the page, and the CB doesnt remember he minimized the two drop downs.

Everything else is remembered (bbcode settings like font color, size etc etc) but those damn smilies/bbcode setting options keep appearing after a page reload,

so i ask, is there a fix for this ? or is there a way for me to code the CB to load with the smilies/bbcode menus automatically minimized ?

and help would be greatly appreciated./

[W!cKeD]

Hey vBDev,

thanks again for the port to 4.0, but i have a little problem, the shoutbox dont scroll to the last shout, i have the option "new message on bottom"...

12:29 <W!cKeD> Hey
12:30 <W!cKeD> Whats up
12:30 <W!cKeD> hmm

it stand on the middle and i must scroll down to the last shout.. any idea?

[exyuteam]

I have same problem, and still this not corrected.... Problem is because chats sometimes display OK and sometimes not...!!! So, it's hard to prove author that this problem exists... He must do that problem and try to find what's wrong. If he cannot reproduce it, he cannot fix it. I doubt that this problem in my case do smiles (height) and chat somehow don't "calculate" that... I just don't know...

[MaryTheG(r)eek]

My apologies if it's a double post but searching didn't gave me any results and reading 463 pages is not possible. I want to put the chat at a popup window, so I need to add the actual link. I tried mgc_cb_evo.php and mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php but I'm not getting any chat window.

Thank you

[lebmedia]

how to enable the Notification in the chatbox (new thread, new message, new registration, ...) please ?

[Lazorbeam]

Perhaps I'm a little... behind. But I'm not quite sure how to proceed in the language installation. Here are the instructions are per install file:

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.

There is 1 language in the dropdown list (english). Won't overriding this file destroy a bunch of important language data?

[exyuteam]

It's just add this phrases, and everything else will stay.... Don't worry - we all do this ;)

[exyuteam]

how to enable the Notification in the chatbox (new thread, new message, new registration, ...) please ?

Notification management --> Select in "Notifications display choice" how you want to display notifications, and below select witch notification you want to display ("Activation of the new thread warning in the chatbox", "Activation of the new post warning in the chatbox", "Activation of the new Thanks warning in the chatbox")

Anyone else with this problem.

On 4.0.8 btw did the same problem back on 4.0.7 aswell.

Sometimes the chat will not post anything users types, but if you goto Archives and Back to the main page with the chat it will start working again. Seems like a refresh problem maybe freezing? Does not happen all the time but when it does its very noticeable. (Users complain they can't see anything.)

We have this same problem. I've posted here, but not received a response.

[MrEyes]

Either I am being a bit thick or something is broken...

I am trying to get private messaging working, so I enter the following:

/pm username

I then see that text appear like a normal chat, I don't get another tab, or anything else.

In options I have:


ACP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Command Options -> /pm command: Activate the private chats in tabs feature -> Yes
ACP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Command Options -> /pm command: maximum number of private chats tab authorized. -> 5
ACP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Manage Commands -> PM is enabled for all usergroups
ACP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Chats formatting and sending -> Activate commands autocompletion -> Yes


Is there another setting somewhere? BTW that last auto completion setting doesn't seem to do anything at all.

As an aside, but possible related, I have also noticed that /slap & /me don't work either - in fact none of the commands seem to work. So I am guessing that there is a "Switch commands system on" setting that I just can't find.

EDIT : Using vb 4.0.6

Either I am being a bit thick or something is broken...

I am trying to get private messaging working, so I enter the following:



I then see that text appear like a normal chat, I don't get another tab, or anything else.

In options I have:


ACP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Command Options -> /pm command: Activate the private chats in tabs feature -> Yes
ACP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Command Options -> /pm command: maximum number of private chats tab authorized. -> 5
ACP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Manage Commands -> PM is enabled for all usergroups
ACP -> MGC Chatbox Evo -> Chats formatting and sending -> Activate commands autocompletion -> Yes

Likewise. For example, the /slap command returns an error (user could not be found).

/slap userxyz

Does not work even is userxyz is in chat.

We have this same problem. I've posted here, but not received a response.

Great at lease am not the only one.:up:

New bug report:

- Allow users to format chat.
- User types in message with font formatting:
Hello

- Disable font formatting.
- User's message appears like this:
[ B]Hello[ /B] (no spaces)
- User cannot remove formatting tags and all future messages will carry formatting tags as previously specified.

- User cannot remove formatting tags and all future messages will carry formatting tags as previously specified.

I have experienced this same issue, after much hair pulling I went for a fairly dramatic fix but it worked. When BB Code formatting is enabled the users settings are stored in the DB, if you nuke the settings the problem disappears:

update users set mgc_cb_evo_params = ''

Now this is dramatic, but it works - I strongly recommend that you only run this if you are absolutely comfortable with it and understand that it may have other side effects (I didn't but every setup is different)

I assume somebody will be along shortly with an "OMG!!!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT" post, well I did :) and it worked :p

[SEW810]

Anyone else with this problem.

On 4.0.8 btw did the same problem back on 4.0.7 aswell.

Sometimes the chat will not post anything users types, but if you goto Archives and Back to the main page with the chat it will start working again. Seems like a refresh problem maybe freezing? Does not happen all the time but when it does its very noticeable. (Users complain they can't see anything.)


Yeah, same here. That happends when slap, me, pm commands are enabled :( , too bad, i just disabled them just to get my chat working. I can spend all the night pressing F5 (refresh page) and nothing happends!!! . Clearing chat history fixes that problem :( (well, until bad commands are used again lol)

Any idea to fix it??

Likewise. For example, the /slap command returns an error (user could not be found).

/slap userxyz

Does not work even is userxyz is in chat.

The correct sintaxis is:

/slap uname "user name" (without "'s of course)


**************************** EDITED ******************
Oh btw, any of you guys got "constant string" issue at forum.php when chat is ON ???
If i disable it (Chat OFF) forum.php works just fine.

Another issue.

If I type /ban show , I can't see banned users !!!! (I'm Admin)
It showes me the non permissions page :(

[Harley D]

Same issue here with both versions. It even stops me from typing if I'm in another window if someone posts while I'm typing. Aggravating!

I have to click somewhere else on the screen and then back to the text box for my text to start showing again.

Banning does not work, it says there banned until they make a post then there un banned. ?

[zeus_r6]

Upon uninstalling this mod, it leaves a ton of things behind and crashes my site...anybody else have this happen?

[DemoniK_AK]

Great mod

Took me while to get it up and running. Some additonal docs in the zip would be handy on how to get everything running, e.g.
- add to the installation steps to enable permissions per usergroup (took me ages to figure out why it wasn't being displayed)
- some docs on getting the commands working would be helpful - its not obvious I need to enable and then set the permissions under manage commands

But once it's running it's great.

A few issues and suggestions though ;)
1. On chromium/chrome and IE when you select the drop down box (user profile, etc.) it opens relative to the page and not the chatbox - i.e. you need to scroll down the forum to see it!

2. When I added chatrooms they appear to the left and top and are essentially adding lots of dead space above the chats (check my site www.ak47ps3.com/forums) to see what I mean. Would be handy if we could stack then left to right like tabs...

3. editing a chat line which has been coloured allows me to edit the BBCode for the colour or style - would be handy if this was more inline and I didn't have to worry about destroying it.

4. clicking on the @ bubble is handy - but would be even better if I could simply type once selected - as it stands I need to reselect the text box again :(

5. The Bot is handy - any chance it could do more regex - even just basic contains phrase? Would make it so much handier.

6. Would be great if the /me command used the colour I had set for my chats

7. Would be nice to have an option to move the drop down box and @ icons close to the username after date & time if possible.

Be more specific please.

I have used this mod since vb3.7.x and have upgraded every time.

When I did un-install it from my test board , it crashed, I just removed the block from forums & moderators after I disabled all my plug-ins.

[1F42]

Ive just upgraded from the 2.3.2 to the latest via the instructions to the letter but have 3 issues.

1/ The chat stats are now shown twice at the bottom of the forum.
2/ My notifications have dissapeared although alll the options remained set as they were and are correct (I use right column within) .
3/ 2 admin sidebar menu options are in French "Gestion du bot" and "Voir les chats. rapportés"

Not bothered about the last one but would really like a fix for the first two or a pointer in the right direction were to look im using VB 3.8.2

I am quite happy to edit tables or php etc just need to know what to edit to fix lol.

Update: number 3 has fixed itself, perhaps due to a scheduled task/cron job Still need help especially with number 2 please

Regards

[Darked_Hax]

User CP bug:
VBDev forgot to update the path within the vB 3 plugin, in the vB 4 it's correct.

To resolve the issue, go in your Admin CP to Manage Plugins and search for the User option add in profile vB3 plugin. Open it and change the path two times:

From:
/includes/mgc_cb_evo/
To:
/mgc_cb_evo/classes/

1:
// Instantiate display class
require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php');
$MGCCbEvoDisplay = new MGCCbEvo_display($vbulletin,$MGCCbEvoCore);

2:
// Channel selector
if ($MGCCbEvoCore->evo_permissions->can_select_default_channel())
{
require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_misc.php');
$MGCCbEvoMisc = new MGCCbEvo_misc($vbulletin,$MGCCbEvoCore);
$show['chan_sel'] = 1;
$channel_select = $MGCCbEvoMisc->construct_default_channel_selector();
}

It's so easy! :eek: :D

GREAT!

That's solve my problem!

many thanks, man!

[1F42]

Update I fixed it well rather I noticed that the upgrade adds options in the user groups and had see notifications switched off by default after the upgrade...should be on by default really or at least document this needs to be done! So now just point 1 I need help on..

O.K. I have managed to capture an error.
The "other" Issue I am having is that Smiles that are in the MORE box do not load into the CHat Box when clicked.
I have tried the fix that is posted to edit the PHP file with no change.
Here is the error that I have captured
Error: insert_smilie_from_window is not defined

Anyone have a clue to what I need to do to fix this issue?

[xerotsuda]

How do I stop my Registered User class from being able to remove other peoples chats. I have checked the Usergroup Permissions and they are not allowed to manage the chat in any way. I try to remove these right on the Administrator (myself) and it doesnt even affect me...

--- nvm i found it in the Commands section.

[Lazorbeam]

This addon has been fantastic for my forum, but there is a serious issue with it.

Apparently, the chatbox is very memory intensive. My site was recently shut down by my host due to overuse of memory.

For your reference, here is a copy of your usage report:

###
User Domain %CPU %MEM MySQL Processes
xxxxxx stormspire.net 2.37 20.54 0.2
Top Process %CPU 8.0 /usr/bin/php /home/xxx/public_html/consortium/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php
Top Process %CPU 4.0 /usr/bin/php /home/xxx/public_html/consortium/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php
Top Process %CPU 3.5 /usr/bin/php /home/xxx/public_html/consortium/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php
###

Is there any way to reduce the mem usage of this addon?

[Alfa1]

TBH this addon has a very large amount of issues. The functionality is very nice but it needs a full rewrite IMHO.

[Ranger187]

I've been testing 3.1.0 for a while now and haven't seen the issues. I'm still waiting on some of my users to reply.

[my123world]

It Works Fine.... But Please Can Anyone Tell How Can I Remove The Footer Note In The Chatbox -

MGC Chatbox Evo created by MGC, Version 3.0.0, Copyright 2008-2010 all rights reserved

Its Very Annoying...

[Ranger187]

You'd need to get the branding free version. I already know where it is. ;)

[muckleroy]

Forgive me if this has already been asked, 466 pages...

I have what seems to be random users that cannot see the chatbox. I have confirmed this by logging in as the user. I have users in multiple usergroups that cannot see the chatbox, but others in the same group can. I do not have post count enable, and in fact I have it set to ignore post counts.

I can usually figure these things out, of find it in a search, but I'm at a loss on this one.

[Ranger187]

Muckleroy, see if it's listed up top as an issue. If not, make sure every usergroup has permissions since 1 user can be in multiple groups. This is why I try and keep the grouping simple. ;)

[michelle86]

Thanks for this mod! It works awesome. :)

Just wondering... do you think there will ever be an update that will give you the option to display membername is typing? Like a chat room?

[yotsume]

More Notification Features?

I am in dire need of the following 5 notification features to be implemented on our site. I added one to the list as well for a nonfiction when a member changes their status (using a 3rd party hack found here on vborg).

What kind of time-line are we looking at to have these new features added? How can I help to speed up the process?


NOTIFICATION : social groups
NOTIFICATION : User albums updates
NOTIFICATION : IBProarcade New tournament created notification / Tournament has started notification
NOTIFICATION : Blogs

Uninstalled :(
It's a great mod, indeed but I can't keep my forum crashed anymore.
Maybe I'll install it back.

Good luck ppl with those bugs :s

[pretty.witch]

I had a problem uninstalling it.
Though I removed from admin cpanel, the tables in BD stayed.
Before and after I unisntalled it, it caused problems creating new users groups.

So I had to remove the references to the chat from php documents.

[DemoniK_AK]

Uninstalled it
Something was acting up in the JS that I couldn't track down and refreshes would just stop.
That and my IE users had bad display problems...

Will check back every so often - hope you iron out the bugs.

[exyuteam]

When you uninstall this plugin, you MUST remove ALL chat files from your server (especially from INCLUDES/XML)!!!

Cheeers

[cory_booth]

On my site VB 4.1(bets) killed the chat. It opens but nothing shows.

[MoonDaemon]

Things working great over here, but there is a little issue in the Archives section; in the Navigation and Search windows, only two of my three available channels are being displayed in the drop-down menu. Yes, there are still three options but two of them are duplicates so my third channel is still missing from Navigation and Search; screenshot of the problem here (http://yfrog.com/2s78747066p)

Also having problems with the ChatBox showing in one forum-style and not another; I'm thinking that this might have to do with the templates in one of my styles. If possible, could you show me the code for this hack and which template-names use this ChatBox code so I can manually input it? If it makes any difference, I want the ChatBox to appear at the top of the page (below my navigation-bar) and everywhere except the actual forum homepage

Thanks for any help

I just installed vb 4.1.0 and now the chatbox shows "loading..." but it doesn't ever load the most recent chats. You have to type something to be able to view the ongoing chat.

Any idea how to fix this? I tried finding a setting in the control panel that I could change with no luck.
