Cyb - ChatBox

[KevinL]

Great Mod!

Any idea, or has anyone came across a way to fix the color drop down in Safari? It only shows a color when you choose a color, but otherwise its all just blank. Weird haha

Thanks in advance :)

[SessizDunya]

Great mod, installed on 3.7.0

Thanks.

PS: How can I put a background on the back of the chatbox? Any ideas?

[RFViet]

Should I concern about the server load issue with this Mod ???

[Penfold69]

Also, another thought would be to perhaps notify in the Chat box that a new thread has been posted, with the title, forum and a link. Ability to restrict to certain forums, or only display them based on the permission of the logged in user. :)


P.

[ETDC]

Another idea:

Often people browse away without the chat window open - how about a subtle 'pulsing' icon somewhere on the main board whenever people are chatting, so as to let people know? :)

That's why people shouldn't use garbage software like safari and CRapple ;)

[fariborz]

Cyb,
I moved my users to primary vip group. this problem is resolved, but:
I have color problem!!
what can i do for fix that?

[KevinL]

That's why people shouldn't use garbage software like safari and CRapple ;)

:lol:

Maybe...but it should work with all browsers...just in case ;)

[SnapOff Racing]

haha oh alright :D

[petacat]

Thanks fo rthe upgrade. Nice features and well done again.

[aramiK89]

Hey, just need to check - once this is added it won't give birth to the security token error?

Has the line of code been added so that it works with the security token feature?

[pk698]

I'm getting this error msg. Anyone know why it's happening? thanks.


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

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

[drbox]

installed & working excellent :) its much better then ShoutBox!!

[UltraFanatics]

Superb upgrade yet again mate, well done!

Wehn it says "pruned" does that actually mean deleted from everything?

[Valter]

Deleted physically from database. Messages can not be restored later.

[StarFire]

Installed on vB 3.7.2 - works great! Thanks, Cyb! Keep up the good work.

[mrspring]

ok i did that now how do i get it on the front of the portal page (home page) preferable under the UserCP block

Bump: i'd like to know how to get the non-chatbox full as a module also please.. All my attempts so far have made ugly messes, usually wrapped in vBadvanced inside a module :(

Also: LOVE the mod, working well on 3.7.2

Suggestion: Any way that CHANNELS could be added for future? so different sections of the board could have their own chats? I think that would kick this mod into the super-league..

Did this and like it. However, I notice it widens the forumhome quite a bit. Is there a way to allow the chatbox to be more narrow for those who want it? Thanks.

EDIT: figured it out. I saw the percentage of 75% and made it less. Worked just fine. Thanks.

[sheep92032]

I don't see any submit button. It'd also be nice to be able to edit the phrase 'Ask your questions in the forums. The ChatBox is for small talk.' and $vbphrase[message]. I can't use the chatbox on my ipod without the submit button, so i think that's the most important.

[Valter]

There IS a submit button, and I'm always wondering how some people can be forum admins if they don't even know how to edit phrases.

[pewa]

Cyb, the bug that makes the time displays H:i instead of the actual time is forcing me to use another chat mod, too bad.. really like this one!

Is there anything you could try to do? Maybe change the code, feth the time in another way? Ask someone else that's also into coding..

[SnapOff Racing]

Anyone know how to change the code to make the text editor be on top like this guy did...

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9247/screencaptureio2.png

[silly rabbit]

There IS a submit button,
Cyb, great hack! While on subject a related question - whenever someone posts a message in Chatbox I've a floating popbox that [will] notify other users that "someone is Cybing in Chatbox", am using a simple "$show['typing']=true" switch but cannot figure out the best place in the code to set and clear it.

The display template part of it is not my creation, it's another modified hack from here but will post "how to" after I get this thing popping properly,

Thx Wabbit!

What guy is "this"? Again, version 2.0!
Did this and like it. .
SnapOff, what Titan did is very similar with the editor on the bottom, reverse the "textarea name="ccb_entermessage"" HTML and you should have it.

I like it too! Thx Titan (what version you running now?) for sharing . . .

Do you have anymore detail on how to do this? I'm after a similar design, but with text entry at the bottom. Note: Disregard the red pbrushed text. It was someone elses screeny. Interested in the chatbox below navbar.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=78784&d=1208289470

Any help would be appreciated.

[XiZa]

Ok for those who asked for this layout for the chatbox:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/07/45.jpg

You can get it here: just copy/paste everything in the style cyb_chatbox

http://rafb.net/p/VBTPQZ81.html

I tested it in safari, firefox 3, and opera 9.5. Not tested in IE6/7 so if someone will please test there, thanks.

I also fixed a bug with the refreshing of the chatbox, not it will reset the refresh timeout after every submit so that you do not get lots of refreshes when submitting alot of messages.

And a bug where the character count is not reset successfully after each message submission.

And lastly I added a loading indicator..

[Doomday]

is there anyway to put the text editor below the chatbox and not in the left side like it is right now?

btw installed and its works great ;)

[RK1gaming]

installed -- is there VBa module for this .. so it can be on the portal page ?

[silly rabbit]

Back up one page, post 268? Mind you this is postbit for ver 2.0 and not the newer 2.1, haven't had time to look at newer postbit but assume the adjustment is similar. "Compare the two and the solution should present itself!

Titan's postbit does work on 2.1 version but added features, like the px adjustment and char counter, are missing . . .

Nice work Cyb! wabbit

thanks it does work however some of the options disappears from the chatbox like char lenght limit, i have to look the code but is too much and i dont have the time right now but it was what i was looking for.Thanks again

[matt_turpin]

I had installed a rival chatbox for quite a while, until an exploit was discovered about it and vBulletin emailed me. The chatbox was wildly popular with my members, although I was hesitant to look for a replacement because I discovered it decimated new thread posts. In its absense though, I noticed a sharp decline in activity in general so I sought out a replacement and found this one. It's great. It's totally streamlined. It fits my forum layout perfectly. It works perfectly. I'm happy that my community goaded me into replacing the chatbox because this is great.

[spirittina]

thank you so much i am using vbulletin 3.7.2 and it installed and works like a dream awesome plugin

[MonkYZ]

Hi ! Thx for this great mod !

Can you please tell me how to change the colours of those two items from the screenshot ? They really don't match the colors of my style... but can't seem to find a way to change them.

Thank you in advance !

Page not found on that URL :(

[LinkBliss_com]

I've been trying this on my site "WindyChat.com" for several weeks now as I saw that my site ranks high in Google for "Chicago Chat" and I thought it might be an opportunity for my site.

I do get people to jump in regularly, maybe once per day or every other day, but we always miss each other..
http://www.windychat.com/misc.php?do=cchatbox
I don't think there's actually been ANY real-time chat yet - DOH!

A few quick requests/suggestions, I don't know if these are possible...

1. A BEEP or e-mail anytime somone posts, if there more than an hour of inactivity.. I don't want an e-mail from every post in an active chat, but would like notification if someone shows up so I can chat with them.

2. An option (default ON) for other people to receive the same BEEP or notification by e-mail when someone posts.. i.e. not every registered user, but if someone has posted in the chat room before, they will be notified by e-mail if there is fresh activity in the forum. Of course they could always turn this off.

3. I don't have any cchatbox content indexed in Google yet...
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3awindychat%2ecom+inurl%3acchatbox
Would there be a possibility of a vBSEO plugin for Cyb Chatbox? :up: :up: :up:

If you don't think this is the direction you want to go with the public product for any reason, but you could do this as custom development for me I would be interested in that as well!

Anyone can help, to understand what is the difference b/w flashchat, MGC chat box, Cyb Chat box and AddonChat(Free version) ?

[Shazz]

Anyone can help, to understand what is the difference b/w flashchat, MGC chat box, Cyb Chat box and AddonChat(Free version) ?

There just different types of chat boxes.

[Valter]

v2.2 - Jul 10. 2008.
-New: auto-hiding Status bar to inform you about ChatBox activities
-Improved ChatBox performance
-Improved char counter compatibility/look

To upgrade:
-Import product XML, allow overwrite
-Revert hack templates if any modified

[mosz]

installed :D

[Subah]

Thanks for the update :)

[rskg4]

thanks for the update. I love this mod.

Had to disable smilies tho, it was killing my server.

[ETDC]

Sounds good - anyone got a screenshot or demo of the status bar? :)

[KevinL]

Works great!

the color chooser still doesn't work in Safari...but thats ok i guess! :)

[-=Leb=-]

I love ur hacks

[tpn87]

Thanks for the update Cybernetec

2.2 is slower than 2.1 was on my site. Weird.

Also, would love a fix for using font colors in safari (like mentioned above)

[Doomday]

Thanks for the update, is there anyway to see the text editor below the chat and not in one side?

[mA|tRiX]

Works great. :)

@ tpn87

Im using the safari too, but i have no problems with fonts. :)

[Terri]

Installed. Thanks!

[StarFire]

Great! Thanx!

[Valter]

CSS problem in Safari can not be "fixed" as it's Safari limitation with rendering styled form elements. I can only remove drop down menu completely and use some other way to build color chooser. I'll rewrite this for the next version.

[andreamarucci]

Just upgraded and now I don't see any message, just the "loading.." message appear. Also, if I try to write something an error message appear telling

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

Please note that I'm using VB 3.7.1 pl 2 and the version 2.1 was working perfectly.

I'm using Firefox 3 on Mac but using Safari is the same...

Any help thanks?

[Valter]

Hi Andrea,

Ensure that hack templates are unmodified.

What happens when you submit new message?

[Pottsy]

Cyb,

2.2 now loses the "x messages since your last visit" on the collapsed chatbox. This was nice, because you could see if you were missing anything without having to open (uncollapse) it.

Other than that, niiice!

[andreamarucci]

Hi Andrea,

Ensure that hack templates are unmodified.

What happens when you submit new message?

What exactly do you mean with "Ensure that hack templates are unmodified." I've installed the new release over the old one allowing overwriting. I've not touched the templates. In case what I've to do?

When I submit a message I get this message

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

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

[andreamarucci]

Cyb, can I eventually have the previous release in the meantime you fix this one?

I've checked and I've not modified any template...

[Tanpapasmurf]

What happen'd to the custom pixel size? is there a reason why this was removed?

Alot of my user's hate the size of the font, Can i manually change it for everyone?

[elmati]

hi Cyb, with this version i'm still having problemes width date/time...

Heres my screen

Do you think that can be a php issue o what?

I just don't like the it really much. It keeps saying :: refreshing page:: in 5 seconds

[spacetv]

i have install the this plugin and succesfully did it and working find but most of my smillies are not showing. Any idea why, i have trace the path and code its all right.

[Kitmitsu]

Hi Cyb, I've had the mod installed since September and I'm going to be updating to v2.2 soon. I've searched and I can't find an answer to this. Is there a way to display the date as "Today 12:31" for example like vBulletin does. I can't find a way to do it using the php time codes.

Thanks.

[enginethatcan't]

installed -- easiest install ever! lol

[Valter]

What happen'd to the custom pixel size? is there a reason why this was removed?
It was not removed. I guess you have customized hack templates. Revert them to restore missing features.
hi Cyb, with this version i'm still having problemes width date/time...
I really don't know why this happens on some forums. I've asked in coding forums about this, still no replies.
Cyb, can I eventually have the previous release in the meantime you fix this one?
It's strange that you get "security token" error on message submission. There are no changes in latest release which will cause such problems.

Version 2.1 is attached to this post. Before downgrading to 2.1 try to fix problem by re-importing v2.2 and/or clearing forum cokies/re-loging in.


ATTACHMENT NOTE for other users: Attached zip contains older version of ChatBox hack. Check first post in thread for latest version.

[vitrag24]

updated.
thx for frequent updates with improved add-on.
Working perfact on my vb 3.7.1.

One request:

can you add such featurte or create addon for this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=162562)?

[obmob]

Well... I tested this and worked fine, now that i go online i'm getting the same error as elmati

No date or time at all :(

Hope there is a solution, I like how this chatbox works, lot faster than others :p

[Doomday]

Please Cyb try to add another style to see the chat i mean for the imput of text to be below and not in one side.

hi Cyb, with this version i'm still having problemes width date/time...

[abotrki alanzi]

Thanks Cyb, I'vre tried to clear all cookies with no results. When you enter the forum you get the "Loading..." message and if you try to write a message you get the error.

I've uninstalled the 2.2 version and reinstalled the 2.1 version. This one is working fine as expected.

Thank you very much!

I have a problem with another addon --> Advanced BBCode Permissions. When i activate this addon, the bbcode in the chatbox doesnt work. Can you help me? Also when the group are "alowed" to use bbcode, it doesnt work.

[DaveS]

Hi. Is there a way for this not to be shown to certain usergroups.

And also it would be good if a member could switch it off. As it consumes bandwidth some of my members have requested that they want to turn it off.

[ishare]

Excellent!

Thank you very much for this wonderful and very usefull addon.
But i have a small problem.

When someone try to post a message in different color other than black, it appears as codes.

Not only other colors, also black color makes the same problem some times.

Attached you can find a screenshot of this problem.

Is there a way to solve this problem ?

[MonkYZ]

Can you please tell me if there is some module for inserting ChatBox into vBadvanced ?

I think what i did last time is that I gave permission to the usergroup to use bbcodes.

[kylek]

This justs keeps getting better and better!!

One thing if its possible, we use this chatbox for mods and admin only but notice when you check whos online it shows the person "viewing chatbox" Is there a way to change it so it does not show this?

[ishare]

Yes i do have Advance BBCodes installed. I've checked all usergroups and once again verified that all usergroups have the permision to use all the bbcodes other than HTML.

Do i have to uninstall the Advanced BBcodes hack ?

[BlissfulErin]

Just a bit of info for anyone using this chatbox. With the refresh set to 10 seconds, this EATS CPU.

I went from using a 12% CPU load down to 6% after removing the chatbox. I got a email from my host telling me that it was the misc.php?=cbbmessages causing such a high load.

Just a heads up, if you are going to use it, maybe set the refresh to something like 30 seconds or more.

I am quoting this since it falls in line with what I had questions about. I had the 3.6 version installed which was perfect! (thanks Cyb!) however, I updated my board to 3.7 and updated the chat also because my user's wanted the ability to change font size. I have the chat only on my index page and there is something with this auto refresh that is bugging me, the whole page "re-adjusts/refreshes" when the chatbox does. It is completely annoying to me. I'd also like to keep server load down, and I did change the auto refresh to 30 seconds before I came here but I wasn't certain that it'd make the messages lag so much that my user's would stop wanting to use it. Any advice? Thank you.

[pewa]

Thanks Doomday!

The "%H:%I" worked great! Like someone else said earlier, is it possible to get [Today/yesterday] displayed in the chat?

Edit:

I added the "%" in the time format and now the chat displays the time.. only one problem, it seems that the time only updates once per hour, not with every message?

Edit #2:
Solved it! Changed %H:%I to %H:%M

I'm having exactly the same problem. Uninstalled 2.2. and went back to 2.0. Hoping for a solution.

[RedDevil]

installed and working fine on mine, nice chat box update.:)

[IvyKeepMommy]

installed and working fine on both my forums. Thanks!

[Valter]

Thanks Cyb, I'vre tried to clear all cookies with no results. When you enter the forum you get the "Loading..." message and if you try to write a message you get the error.
ChatBox locked for the first time on one of my forums... I was not able to view messages, nor enter new message in Firefox 3, while all worked fine in IE. Not sure what caused this but it was easy to fix - just do hard refresh in Firefox. Hope you can solve your problem the same way.
Is there any way to not showing this message "Refreshing Messages" ?
There will be option in next version.

how can i increase the height of the chatbox

[mA|tRiX]

Yes i do have Advance BBCodes installed. I've checked all usergroups and once again verified that all usergroups have the permision to use all the bbcodes other than HTML.

Do i have to uninstall the Advanced BBcodes hack ?

I have deactivate the advanced bbcode hack and now i search for a solution. :)

[porschinho]

while using reverse message order, the shoutbox refreshes while reading the messages by scrolling with my mouse wheel. it automaticaly jumps to the end of the chatbox.

i would like to have an option to disable this behavior, because my users are not able to read older messages in the box itself, only in the archives.

[mastergame]

but i'm using 3.6.10 will it work?

Hi
I had, 3.6.10
But it does not works !
i Install 3.7.x !

[Shazz]

People... use the 3.6.x version of this. This mod is for 3.7

[PoetJA-1975]

Gonna give it a try - Thanx CYBERNETEC ;)

[PoetJA-1975]

Howdy hi - Thanx again for the sharing - Question: is there any way to randomize the smilie display each time the smilie list is clicked....?

Jacquii.

[BucWiLd]

thanks installed

[Ionsurge]

Installed and working mmmmmmly. Cheers chap.

[cmmguy]

Installed and working good except for USERGROUPS.
I searched this thread to see if I am wrong but it seems that you cant use a particular USERGROUP that can see the chat box.

I have set up a Custom User group for a "basement" of users and wanted to be able to limit access to those user only. But they are also Regular users under the default UserGroup. Right now they are blocked from seeing the CHAT because they also belong to Regular group.(Regular users are blocked from seeing the chat).

Is there a way to Include a group instead of only excluding a group? It seems my only option right now is to set up a subforum with the chat in it.

Am I seeing this correct?

[PoetJA-1975]

Ok for those who asked for this layout for the chatbox:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/07/45.jpg

You can get it here: just copy/paste everything in the style cyb_chatbox

http://rafb.net/p/VBTPQZ81.html

I tested it in safari, firefox 3, and opera 9.5. Not tested in IE6/7 so if someone will please test there, thanks.

I also fixed a bug with the refreshing of the chatbox, not it will reset the refresh timeout after every submit so that you do not get lots of refreshes when submitting alot of messages.

And a bug where the character count is not reset successfully after each message submission.

And lastly I added a loading indicator..
404 Error :(
Does someone have this file to share please?
Or perhaps CYBERNETEC - can you share the template edits?

Thanx,

Jacquii.

[Kitmitsu]

Hi Cyb. Is there any way to remove the font size drop down from the chatbox? My skin doesn't quite work with it.

Thanks.

[Valter]

Kitmitsu, option will be available in next version.

PoetJA, I don't have modified version you are searching for.

[XiZa]

I will make a new update of the changed template sometime soon as there is a new version there is no point in giving the old template.

It would be nice if you could integrate both styles of the chatbox and let users choose which to use.

[Forgott3n]

Great! I'm writing custom rewrite rules for it now (vbSEO!)

[Shazz]

If all suggestions got put in place, the mod would be so big the forum take 20 secs to load

[PoetJA-1975]

Kitmitsu, option will be available in next version.

PoetJA, I don't have modified version you are searching for.
Thanx for responding - I do like the idea of implementing both styles so Admins can choose.
Thanx,

Jacquii.

I will make a new update of the changed template sometime soon as there is a new version there is no point in giving the old template.

Yay! Will look forward to your post - Hopefully CYBERNETEC will implement both styles in the next update though so we can choose.

Thanx,

[kotlt99]

I have set the minimum post requirement to see the chat box to 60.
But some of members with post lower than 60 just go to chatbox via the link:
http://link/misc.php?do=cchatbox

Could I do something to prevent that? :-?
It really annoy me

we have been running vbshout for a couple years now and just started using this chat box today; so far so good!

[Subah]

Is there any way to let the chat box shows only in one forum and not on the forumhome ?

[SSJB_7]

finally it's the only shoutbox worked on my skin ..... thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jair]

Is there a way to make this application only appear on one certain category?

I don't own the main board, but I run a sub forum/category and would like this installed on that only.

[Valter]

No such option in current version, but may be added in next one...

[Subah]

No such option in current version, but may be added in next one...

I really hope that :)

[rigodiaz]

I have deactivate the advanced bbcode hack and now i search for a solution. :)

Do you have a solution?

I have the same problem :(

[SnapOff Racing]

I will make a new update of the changed template sometime soon as there is a new version there is no point in giving the old template.

It would be nice if you could integrate both styles of the chatbox and let users choose which to use.

Awesome Thanks I HATE having the textbox on the bottom, so please update us as soon as you can! Thanks again!

[boandmichele]

i have a problem some of my users are experiencing. (btw, this is the most used mod on my forum, and thanks for making it) :)

the problem is that they will type text into the entry field, hit enter, and it will either disappear completely (never showing up in the chat box), or will cut off most of it leaving the first few characters but nothing else. any suggestions?

[Savrik]

Great chat! Thanks for you work!
But I am can not see it on the all pages. For example, I am put the phrase "$cybchatbox" in SHOWTHREAD template, but no chatbox I receive. What I doing wrong?

Hello,
Usergroups able to view ChatBox but not post messages
IS 2,8
But modirator and super modirator not able send message,
Just view chatbox
What i do?

[andreamarucci]

A question for the developer. I've installed Chatbox and Advanced forum statistics. Since some of my users browse the forum using the iPhone, I've a theme designed specifically for the iphone and a mod that instruct the iphone browser to use this theme.

Question is. How can I disable (or hide) chatbox and Advanced forum statistics for those users that use this theme and browse the forum using the iphone?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

What i do?

Please help me!

[obmob]

You know, some days ago wewere talking about this little problem, some people are having the same issue about date and time on the chat.

No matter how you set up the php time in CybChat, in my case i was testing this:

d-m-y for date
g:i a for time

In spanish the chatbox shows only the variables, but it is ok in english

[d-m-y, g:i a]

Now, if I try adding a different format, including a % (%d-%m) the result is the oposite, in spanish i get the date and hour as supposed, and the english version shows something like this:

[%25-%07]

Don't know, maybe something is missing on that date and time code o.ó

Hope you can help fixing this issue.

[D.Ilyin]

BUG?
after switch to board language different then English then time with messages showed like:
H:M
In hack options "Time format" - H:M
When in hack options set "Time format" - %H:%M
then on English language time showed like
[%22:%Jul]
On other language - ok!

In threads time is ok on both languages.

[obmob]

Yeah, CMPS and forums have no troubles with the date or time format. :eek:

This is what I use on vbA cmps
d-m-y and g:i a

This on forums:
d.m.y and h:i A

[billyb]

Hey,

Can't really be bothered reading through 25 pages of replies, so if this has been reported, my apologies. I like this ChatBox a lot so this is why I want to see it improved.

Apparently the limit imposed on how many characters you can post in one go means squat if you do copy/paste routine. Just select a large chunk of text, copy it. Then paste it in the ChatBox and hit the enter straight away.

Hope this helps.

[EagleNick]

For some reason, BB Code formatting is displayed (not parsed) after someone posts a message subsequent to marked-up text, such as a URL or colored text.

Example:
(Watch the message by Nick(me) that says www.test.com (http://www.test.com))

[K4GAP]

I am trying to put the chatbox on the front page (http://www.publicwarriors.com/) of my site. My front page is not the forums, it is a page I created full of modules. It is my index page. I know to place the $cybchatbox for custom placement but that don't work? Would my front page's template not be able to use chatbox for some reason?

Any of this make sense?

[Forgott3n]

I noticed on a server with a lot of users, the chatbox virtually takes down the server with enough users on it. We run a 4GB of RAM server.

[obmob]

hmm... too bad, i disabled the day and kept the hour on the chatbox, now the time is crazy, vbulletin says 20:58 and the chatbox said 20:08 u.u

[AK47 Nemesis]

I'm getting the following error on IE if i enable this. Works fine on FF.

In English it means:
The website www.decerto-esports cannot be opened.

The operation is canceled.

[Jason Buchanan]

I too would like to know how to implement the chatbox in my vbadvanced cmps. Any ideas? I have it installed and love it, just need some direction. Thanks in advance.

[jpbryan]

Thanks, works great.. Just what the folks wanted..

[useakme]

Without reading thru 26 pages of replies, can someone tell me if its possible to have this chatbox on all forum pages?

[shaqoneal]

I noticed on a server with a lot of users, the chatbox virtually takes down the server with enough users on it. We run a 4GB of RAM server.

the chatbox is an awesome feature but ya i have the same problem. is there any way to reduce the server load of the chatbox?

[ETDC]

^ How many is 'a lot' of users? 10? 30? 100? 500?

[ETDC]

Also:

v2.2 - Jul 10. 2008.
-New: auto-hiding Status bar to inform you about ChatBox activities
Where is this - I've not seen it or any options for it?

[PoetJA-1975]

Me either :(

Jacquii.

[Valter]

You haven't seen status-bar?

You may need to revert templates.

It appears just below input field.

[ETDC]

Hi Cyb

What does 'revert templates' do?

[Valter]

When you edit some hack template, then author updates hack, you may need to revert changes to get full functionality and avoid problems...

Check if all templates with 'cyb_chatbox' prefix are not marked as edited (red by default).

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/08/38.png

There are always original copies of all templates on the forum. To use them just select template on the list and click Revert button.

[ETDC]

Thanks - so do I then need to reinstall?

[SavvyPirates]

How do I get this added to show only in my arcade? Greatly appreciate anyone's help!

[Valter]

Thanks - so do I then need to reinstall?
No, 'Revert' will use template data installed by latest product version.

So just do standard upgrade.

[PoetJA-1975]

I did a fresh install of 2.2 and still don't see the status bar even when I have reverted templates?!?!?

Jacquii.

[Sycosphere]

hi bro Cybernetec , god job
i have a problem
how i can make forum members & me , see who in chat now ?

[hardtekno]

i installed this and modified it. i'm having a problem now though. the smilie button doesn't always load the image for the smilie. this causes it to load plaintext which throws off everything and makes it look ridiculous. any reason why this might be happening?

[SavvyPirates]

I have set the option "Position on page (Disable if you add ChatBox manually in templates)" to Disabled and added the "$cybchatbox" code to the templates where I want the chatbox, but the chatbox still doesn't want to work on any page but the Forum Home page.

Am I missing something?

[austinv]

I am having the same problem as SavvyPirates.

edit:
I should point out that I'm trying to get this to work with vbadvanced, with the chatbox in its own module on my frontpage in the right hand column. I created a template type module and put "$cybchatbox" as the code, also I added "cybchatbox" to the global output variables. But it still doesn't work on the front page, the "Chatbox" module appears empty.

Any ideas?

edit: in the chatbox settings, for "Show ChatBox on", if I erase "index" and leave it blank, then the chatbox does appear in the Chatbox module on the front page however it is stuck in "loading..." process and does not show chat posts I made.

So, two things to figure out to work this with vbadvanced:

1) what should "Show ChatBox on" be set to, so we don't have to leave it blank.
2) why is the chatbox stuck in "loading..." status, unable to show posts.

Thank you!

[orij1nal]

hmm is there a way the chatbox can display asian characters? chinese? if so can you please tell me how?

[hardtekno]

OK so yeah, the problem I was/am having is with the smilies dropdown. For some reason the image for the smilie isn't loading 100% of the time and its screwing up there rest of the chatbox for me. Here is an example of what I'm talking about

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/08/72.jpg

Can anyone help me as this is really starting to be a pain in my a$$

[MonkYZ]

For me, when i click the smilies droplist... before i get to select one, the page does some autorefresh and the smilies droplist dissapear. I must be really fast to be able to select a smilie. Can the autorefresh be slower or not affect the smilies ?

Search for this line in the chatbox template:

setTimeout("Ccb_nowLoading = false;Ccb_getMessages();", $vboptions[cybchatbox_newmess_dur] * 1000);


Change the 1000 to whatever works good for you and this should fix your problems.

What could be the problem if the users writing settins are not saved?

Say a user changes the text color, types a few sentences and then leaves the chat. The next time he or she come's back, the color are changed back to default again.

[jlew24asu]

wow this is amazingly easy. thanks

[Valter]

These settings are saved in cookies, so those users must be clearing them or has some problems with the browser or javascript.

[soundbarrierpro]

Can this also be added on vbacmps?

[jlew24asu]

It's not saving the cookies. If you use firefox and clear your private data everytime you close it, this is your reason :)

[lostinjapan]

Very easy to use, perfect for a small gaming guild...or anyone who needs a simple to install and simple to use interface for a smaller forum. :up:

[lostinjapan]

Have read through the entire thread. Made some mods others couldn't seem to find...but now I seem to be stumped on something and was wondering if someone could help...

Our vBulletin forum site uses various styles ranging from shades of white to shades of black. This makes certain font colors difficult to read on specific other styles.

To cope with this I've modified the background color of the message and message input areas to stay a static white, as well as modified the list of available colors (the drop-down box) to only darker ones which show up well.

The problem is if someone doesn't select a text color and they are set to 'default', there are certain darker styles in which their text will not be readable in the chatbox or message input areas.

Is there a way to set a default text color and if so - can you point me to the line of code?

[soundbarrierpro]

Theres too maany questions piled up into one thread.

Don't you think a simple "yes or no" response could fix that problem real quick? If yes, give us a link to where to find the info. If no, then post this in BIG RED LETTERS "IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VBA" in the above install notes.

See, that took me 8.9 seconds to type.:eek:

Hi How about cmps? Anything?

There seems to be quite a few of us interested in using this with vBAdvanced but it's not working now and the author doesn't seem interested. I can't complain though, it wasn't designed for vBAdvanced and it does work well in the regular forum area. Plus it's free. But i still want a chatbox for my vBAdvanced home page, any other ideas?

[Valter]

I'll check it when I have some time. Last time I used vBA CB worked fine with it when you globalize variable and add location to hack settings.

To have ChatBox enabled on desired page:
1. THIS_SCRIPT must be defined in php file (by default all important vBulletin files has this)
2. Hack options - You must add THIS_SCRIPT value for target page to "Show ChatBox on" setting field
3. Main template called on target page must contain "$cybchatbox" variable

To have ChatBox enabled on vBa CMPS:
1. Hack options - Add "adv_index" to "Show ChatBox on" setting field (values in this field should be separated by commas) > Save
2. vBa CMPS Default Settings - add "cybchatbox" to "Portal Output Global Variables" field (values in this field should be separated by carriage return) > Save
3. [Optional] Template "adv_portal" - add "$cybchatbox" to line where you want ChatBox to appear (for example below "$navbar") > Save

[soundbarrierpro]

2x Cyb!

No need for #3. If you do this, it'll add two chatboxes on your cmps below $navbar. Working like a charm. Thanks :)

***EDIT....you should add this to your install notes as another advantage to using the utility. I think a lot more members will go with this because of it's ease of use.

[welten]

We are using this very active on our forum. Missing a "beep" or a sound saying there is a new message there.. maybe controlled with a checkbox default off.. would be nice as I am not always looking at the chatwindow...

/Jan

[Jason Buchanan]

I have followed the instructions but can not get the chatbox on the vBa CMPS. I don't have a "portal output global variable" field. I have a "global vBandvanced settings" with header, navbar and footer replacement fields.

*Okay to see that "portal output global variable" I had to go to Default Settings then click on Main Options
By doing this and adding "adv_index" I get no results, but if I do step 3 also I get the chatbox but it says "loading" all the time. I am stumped.

Okay I have checked and rechecked, even upgraded chatbox. Still same thing, it works on forumhome, but loading on my vBa CMPS. Are these two linked? Meaning what is posted on one is posted on other?

[volarium]

Is there a way to ban users from Editing their previous posts? I see an option to keep them from deleting, but how about Editing? There is a bug that if you ban IMG tags, users can still post a message, then edit that message and add an IMG tag to make the photo show up. Is there a way to prevent users from Editing their own posts?

For anyone still having issues with vBA and Cyb Chat, Cyb Chat won't work with vBA if vBA is located in another directory than your forums.

[ComputerVitals]

I used the Custom Vb pages in the articles section.

I'm wondering how do I get the Chat box to show there.
I have tried to add $cybchatbox but it doesn't show.

Help?

[soundbarrierpro]

For anyone still having issues with vBA and Cyb Chat, Cyb Chat won't work with vBA if vBA is located in another directory than your forums.

Not for anything.....but why would you put vba in another directory besides the forum directory? VBA is supposed to be installed in the forum directory.

[Jason Buchanan]

Actually it can be installed outside of the forum directory as well as inside. I just had it installed by the vBa guys and this is how they installed it.

Is there a 'members in chatbox' function. Similar to the 'members in flashchat' modification? (Displays members in chat in 'What's going on').

[beachinxj]

There is a bug allowing the use of img and other tags. Once a user edits the post and adds the tags (After it has been submitted, editing from the archive view) you can use the img tag bypassing the block. Any chance this could be fixed ASAP?

Ok, if anyone else has this problem, I just commented out the link to edit a post in the archive view. It's not the ideal solution and prevents people from being able to edit a post for legitimate reasons, but until it is fixed this will have to do for me.

Here is the code to change in the cyb_chatbox_archive_bit template if you wish to do this as well:
Find:
<div id="cybcb_editlink_$cybcb_msg_arc_id"><a class="smallfont" href="#" onclick="return ccb_MessageID.Edit($cybcb_msg_arc_id)">$vbphrase[edit]</a></div>

Change to:
<div id="cybcb_editlink_$cybcb_msg_arc_id"><!--<a class="smallfont" href="#" onclick="return ccb_MessageID.Edit($cybcb_msg_arc_id)">$vbphrase[edit]</a>--></div>

Why does it not work with the scandinavian letters anymore??? The earlier versions worked with out "æ, ø and å" but the new versions doesn't!

Advice, anyone?

Hi Cybernetec,

How do I make the chatbox able to show scandinavian letters? We have 3 letters, ?, ? and ?, in addition to the ones used in english, and when trying to type them, the message hangs up and will not be posted and does not show either.

And my members really like your chat too, by the way!

If you use a foreign language with letters not found in english, that might be the cause, as that is what is causing my chatbox not to post messages containing scandinavian letters in addition to letters used in english.

I have a problem with robots/spiders visiting the chat..

Last night I had over 100 visitors according to the forum stats. When I looked what they were doing most of the was looking at the chatbox. When I enter the chat it only says maybe 3-4 guests viewing.

I assume these are search engine robots? How can I prevent them from getting to the chat? I have disabled my forum stats to count robots but it seems to do so anyway when it comes to the chatbox..

For anyone still having issues with vBA and Cyb Chat, Cyb Chat won't work with vBA if vBA is located in another directory than your forums.

Anyone got the innards all ready to attach?

Could the reason it does not work with other alphabets be an Ajax error?

Could this be the problem with the Cyb - Chatbox as well?

Thats strange, Cause I still cant use these letters in my forum, and I see that others do have that problem too.

Im using the latest version of vB 3.7.2 pl 1, and your latest version 2.2.

When trying to use these letters, nothing happens, it keeps showing :: posting message :: in the message window.

When trying to write again, I get a message that it is busy, and when pressing the send button once more, the new message gets through, but the old one with these letters are not posted.

[siggen]

I dont get any error messages, the chat will just not post the message containing these letters. It looks like it hangs up, or keep processing the message without posting it.

I found the solution!!!

I just got a mail from Steve Machol at vB, and he kindly gave me the link to this page, which solved the problem.


My users and myself are having issues with blank pages, forbidden and not acceptable errors, what can I do?

There is a very good chance your host has installed a add-on for apache called mod_security.


ModSecurityTM is an open source intrusion detection and prevention engine for web applications (or a web application firewall). Operating as an Apache Web server module or standalone, the purpose of ModSecurity is to increase web application security, protecting web applications from known and unknown attacks.


While mod_security can be a very powerful tool, misconfigured or overly strict rule sets can interfere with vBulletins Operation. Below for Apache users you can use an htaccess file and add a specific rule to disable mod_security.

Create or edit a text file named .htaccess for your main forum directory and add the following code:


<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>


Note, place this file in your main forum directory.



And by main forum directory, I assume that he means inside the folder where the forum is located at my server, and not the public.html folder that also contain other sites and folders as well, or am I wrong here?

[siggen]

Cybernetec,

I just forund a post in here showing how to use the cyb-chatbox on Vbadvanced;


To get it to work on Vbadvanced:

VbCMPS settings -> portal global output variables --> write "cybchatbox", save.

I have done this, and the chatbox does show on my Vbadvanced frontpage, but it doesn't load and doesnt work... what am I doing wrong?

My PM with the login details still are valid, if you could please take a peak.

<u>for those whom seem to have trouble with the loading issue</u>

go to styles&templates>edit **your style** >open template "cyb_chatbox"

replace all misc.php with $vboptions[bburl]/misc.php?

use search function you will need it theres like 25 edits.

edit also

cyb_chatbox_archive_bit
cyb_chatbox_topchatters_bit

your box will display however new_post.gif will show a red cross thats because the settings in admincp under chatbox point to

images/statusicon/post_new.gif
images/statusicon/post_old.gif

changing the path will stop showing them in the forums, to solve that just make an image folder wherever you cmps_index.php file is or in the folder where your cmps_index file is or whatever you named that file.

public_html/images/statusicon/post_new.gif
public_html/images/statusicon/post_old.gif

note:with this fix it will also enable any page now where u add $cybchatbox
arcade.php, all_albums.php, albums.php etc....
note2: for custom pages still need to add the custom page name in "chatbox on"
