GSBOS: Generic Shout Box Operating System

[dinnerbone]

What is it?
GSBOS is at a glance a simple shoutbox, users can send messages and everyone else can see it. However, it utilizes Javascript intervals and DOM methods to create a 'typing' effect on every message that shows, and is designed to look like a generic console application. The use of typing messages allows for cool tags such as '' and '[speed]' that delete letters after they have been typed or makes certain words type faster. An unintended side effect of the way this was created also makes it use much less bandwidth than major chatboxes, as it does not wipe the screen then redownload a bulk of messages each time; It only gets what it needs.

Can I see it in action?
There is a demo set up at http://www.dinnerbone.com/forums. You must register to use it, or log in using one of the following:
'test' - Normal chat
'butterfingers' - To try the Butterfingers effect
'stupid' - To try the 'stupid' effect.
The password for them all is 'test1'.

How customisable is it?
I have aimed to make as much customisability as possible, and you can see the result in the admin options. You can alter anything from message typing speed to the console background to the rate of butterfingers that members have.

Wait, 'butterfingers'?
GSBOS also features per-user effects that, well, have no real purpose but to amuse. 'Butterfingers' causes the effected people to type with lots of generated mistakes, and 'Stupidize' (For lack of a better name) forces people to acknowledge their own IQ. For example, if I were to be under the effects of Stupidize and say "Hey, my name is Dinnerbone and I'm the author of GSBOS!", it would appear as "hallo dinnerdones anme am dinneroben nd dinndrbone duh author of gsbos yah".

Does it work in every browser?
Unfortunately, I have not been able to test this in quite a lot of browsers. However, it should work in most modern browsers.

How do I install it?
Read readme.txt :)

What features does it have?

/mute [username] - Mutes [username]. Admin only.
/unmute [username] - Unmutes [username]. Admin only.
/stupid [username] - Puts [username] under the 'stupid' effect. Admin only.
/unstupidize [username] - Removes the 'stupid' effect from [username]. Admin only.
/butterfingers [username] - Puts [username] under the 'butterfingers' effect. Admin only.
/unbutterfingers [username] - Removes [username] from the 'butterfingers' effect. Admin only.
/who - Displays a list of active shoutbox users.
/clear - Clears the screen, but only for the user who types this.
/prune - Deletes every message in the shoutbox, for every user. Admin only.
/say [username]: [message] - Fakes a message from [username] saying [message]. You must seperate the message and username with a colon. Admin only. [username] must be a valid user.
Almost 100% customisable.
Easy on the bandwidth.
[delete]text goes here deletes 'text goes here' after typing it out, letter by letter.
text goes here deletes 'text goes here' after typing it out, word by word.
text goes here types 'text goes here' at a rate of one letter every 50ms. This may be restricted to certain speeds in the ACP.
'Natural typos' creates typos while typing out every message at a set rate (In the ACP). All typos are deleted then fixed after typed out.
'Butterfingers' causes a user to make lots of typos at a set rate in their message, that are not fixed when typed out.
'Stupidize' causes a user to act their IQ.
'Mute' causes a user to shut up.
A message 'history' is shown for old messages sent before a user loads the shoutbox. These not typed out to save delays; It will only type out new messages.
Easily positioned on any page on your forums.
Usergroup based permissions, easily customizable
Private messages via the shoutbox


To-do

Ignore user support
Floating/Docking support
A limit on how long it takes to type out an individual message
More per-user effects
An ability to delete existing messages.
???
Got an idea? Please tell me :)

He has not added any instructions for template edits thats why its not working, as most of you know the code <!-- main --> is already in the forumhome template, there is obviously code that should be inserted before or after this but he has forgot to add the code!

A plugin hooks onto that line and adds its own code just before it when the page is being created. I told people to add that line for custom styles and templates that did not have it enabled.

If it is not working and you are using default templates/styles, please check that the main GSBOS plugin is enabled.

[germinus]

Ok well it seems alot of people are saying they cant see the shoutbox even when everything is enabled!!

So here is the manual templated edit you need to do...

Open FORUMHOME template and find

I been banging my head against wall for hours tryin to get this to work lol and I just added code posted by germinus (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=140036) and works perfect now! apprciated germinus and dinnerbone (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=239595) :up:

[dinnerbone]

I'll have to look into why the plugin isn't working then. In theory, the plugin should replace that line with the shoutbox code when the page is displayed to the user, but I can't see why that isn't happening. Thanks for posting the workaround though.

[macc]

have installed and works fine ... how i can adjust time on shoutbox because it is now 02.42 and it shows 19:42 ?

and can i get bold usernames and how?

thanks and regards

macc

[FreshFroot]

nice concept, love the idea mate :)

[digicom]

dinnerbone i carnt find a template called GSBOS,any ideas :confused:

Advanced users may also wish to customise the way GSBOS looks. GSBOS uses only one template, called 'GSBOS', which you may feel free to edit. This template will allow you to customise the colours, fonts and overall look of GSBOS.

[dinnerbone]

Aha, I found out why it wasn't working. For some reason the 'gsbos' template wasn't adding itself to the xml file. I'll release an update in a few minutes.

For now, you may create a custom template called 'gsbos' and add the following to it. Be sure to delete this before installing the new version when it becomes available.
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

anyone else having problems with updating settings?

[dinnerbone]

Version 1.0.2 has just been released. You can now position this on any page, and through this the silly bug that it wasn't showing up has now been fixed. It also now includes a flood protector, which you can customise in the options.

Note that with the new version you must make manual template alterations to make this appear on your pages. See the readme.txt for instructions.

can some help ...what to do to get actual time - not 7 hours differents -

[dinnerbone]

Sorry about that, I used date() instead of vbdate(). I'll fix it in the next version. If you want to fix it yourself, open up includes/functions_gsbos.php and look for a line like this:
$time = date($vbulletin->options['gsbos_date_format'], $timestamp)
and replace it with
$time = vbdate($vbulletin->options['gsbos_date_format'], $timestamp);

Alternatively, wait for the next version and it'll be fixed then :)

Whoops, sorry about that - I need to get used to this xml :)
I have already stated that to make the new version show you must make manual alterations to any page that you want it to show on. But the code you pasted earlier doesn't let the admin follow any settings in the ACP, so I would strongly recommend using the code that is stated in the readme.txt (Which macc provided in the above post)

Version 1.0.3 has just been released. BBCode and Smilies are now supported. The only current limitation to its BBCode support is for advanced html; stuff like <code> tags. The time is also fixed and it should now show time relative to the user who is viewing it.

It follows the normal usergroup mask rules. If you give your admins, moderators, etc a name mask then it will show in the shoutbox. To give a usergroup a mask, open up your Admin Control Panel, go to Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager, and open up your specified usergroup. On there, you'll see a box saying something similar to "Username HTML markup". vBulletin wraps usernames in whatever code is in these two boxes, which you can use to give usernames colour.
For example, if you wanted the username to show in red, you'll fill in the boxes similar to this:
<span style="color: #FF0000"> for the left box, and
</span> for the right box.

need to get this working on CMPS, if that is done I will probably keep it as our main chat box, other wise we will need to use the one we currently have on our site...

so far so good.....

keep at it..

[soniceffect]

Please could you put PM's on to do list m8 .....

The ability for a user to set for themselves which colour there text appears in would be good also .... Not using bbcode, but set.

PS:- This is a very very very good mod ... will be nominating :)

I just tested CMPS, and can confirm that this is in fact compatible with it.
Open up your CMPS settings, click on "Main Options", and add 'gsbos' to the field saying "Portal Output Global Variables". Then simply make a new module, paste the code from the readme into there, make sure wrapping is disabled for that module, and save.

Take a look at Dreams Chatbox for some ideas on what you might want to implement in yours as well,,,,hope no offence is taken to Dreams efforts, I really liked his, but it has started to lag a whole lot, so it's time to look at others...

Thanks again....

It is strongly recommended that you customise usergroup permissions after installing the new version, else your admins and mods will be without commands.

Question.

There are two other major chatbox's here. Both are ajax. Both can be opened to full screen. Both also are extremely bandwidth intensive if used as a regular means to communicate, like during live events.

Firstly, how intensive is this CB? Second, will all user names show up as they join and type their message?

An additional comment....Are you able to create rooms for specific live events? Say I have three games and don't want them all to be involved in the same chat. Can they all have their own room for their specific event?

Thanks

This shoutbox does not use nearly as much bandwidth as other major shoutboxes/chatboxes. They delete every message and download the whole lot every few seconds, whereas this only gets new messages which is much more efficient. Also, this checks for new messages straight after it finishes 'typing out' existing messages, meaning you can set the refresh rate much higher than you would normally and it will still be very fast when there is an active conversation going on.

To better explain the message grabbing system and demonstrate how it's more efficient than grabbing every message every time, let's imagine we have one shout/chatbox running, "Chatbox A", and GSBOS running on the same site. Both have 1 message being sent every two seconds, and both are set to refresh every 5 seconds. Chatbox A will be downloading all of the old messages including the new messages every 5 seconds, not only using lots of bandwidth but also causing unwanted lag. GSBOS will only be downloading the new messages, saving lots of bandwidth and also, assuming the message takes less than two seconds to type out, will have next to no lag at all, and the messages will be adding virtually seamlessly. If we then assume no more messages are being added to either shoutbox, Chatbox A will still be downloading all those messages every 5 seconds, whereas GSBOS will be downloading, well, nothing.

Different rooms/chats are hopefully on their way next version :)

Ah. Basically, if you typed in (for example) /mute someRandomPerson into the shoutbox and pressed Enter, someRandomPerson will be muted and will not be able to talk. If you typed in /prune, then every message inside the shoutbox will be deleted. I've given each command a description inside the shoutbox, simply type "/help" and it will describe every command that you can use and how to use it.

Perfect thanks. Commands are much better than a bunch of buttons. I love this mod.

[soniceffect]

Just to clarify it would seem that the duplicated messages are only appearing visually (ie not inserted to system) as when you refresh they dissapear. Dunno if this is any help.

Anyways, having the issue on mine also. If you need to see anyones with the issue in order to track the bug then let me know and I'm sure I can sort you with some access.

[dinnerbone]

Yeah, I noticed it's only showing for the person who sent the message (I think?) and not being inserted into the shoutbox, that's why it's proving so difficult to track. I suspect it's due to bad timing on the automatic refresh interval though, possibly fetching the message just as it was sent.

I only had this once when I added it to cmps and created a module under both my styles. once I fixed the module to display across both styles it went away.

Strange. Did you modify any settings or install any other mods or mod updates recently? Also, are all members seeing this error or just a specific few? If it's just a few, do those members share any common settings, and what browser are they each using?
I can't think of anything that uses GET requests inside my code, the javascript uses POST but that wouldn't print the error to the shoutbox. The php itself does no GETs or POSTs, and certainly doesn't involve any 'index.html' files.
I'll look into it, but anything you can tell me to help reproduce the error would be very helpful.

can't give you more, sorry, most are using ie and firefox, not all members get it, I for one don't get them at all, I get the double post, until I refresh the page, then the double's disappear, nothing new has been added your hack is the latest, I even removed the other chatbox we had, figured your's was running better and less lag, but these error's will get us in hot water...

some members are now getting these types of errors in the chat window






not sure what this is all about...

and some are telling me the system is freezing, anywhere from a few seconds to 30 seconds, it will not allow any typing of messages during this time frame...

,


had same problems ...and users with IE and FF ... and sometimes comes up double messages ....

any way to prune one line at a time? I use GBOS as an announcement center as well since it's not used all the time. Sometimes my members type something in and nobody replies. I'd like to prune just that message and still keep up my 2 or 3 lines of my message instead of retyping it all over again.

idea: adding a bot that users can interact with

Hello. First of all, great mod. Love it. :D

Though, I have a kind of a bug. When I type a message with national characters (like ?, ?, ?, ?), the shout appears blank. I'll show a screenshot as an example:

I'm using vB 3.8.3. Thanks. ;)

P.S.: I checked the encodings and they're right...

has anyone found a way to remove the roll out thing yet?

This is nice and quick... and much less intensive than the other chats... but whats with the auto scrolling... there has to be an option to turn that off.

It scrolls even if no one is typing ???
