Live Topic

And what shell i do?

[Lynne]

And what shell i do?

Read the thread and first post and see if you have any of the mods that users say conflict with this one. Then decide if you want to keep this mod or the mod conflicting with it. If your mod isn't listed yet, then try turning each off to see which one is conflicting. It's a trial and error thing to figure it out.

[Mum]

Have installed - easy installation, testing appears to work fine. Will trial it for a while and report back :)

[zefyx]

Disabled.

Author, anyway to you can get XHTML validation on this modification 100%? Thanks!

[psgalaxy91]

Installed it, tested it, it is AWESOME.

I had this issue. Turned out that in the latest version, there was a file missing. It was animation-min.js. It was in 1.06 not 1.07. I figured it out by running in debug mode. Not sure if that is needed in 1.07 but when I took it out, it stopped working in FF and Opera, but worked in IE. Putting it back in solved my issues.

Nice DobieGillis!

Would you be so kind enough to post this file? (animation-min.js)

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you. :)

[DobieGillis?]

Nice DobieGillis,

Is there any way that you can post up this file? (animation-min.js)

I would like to try and see if this will fix my issue.

Thank you for your response. :)

hmmm... pm me your email and I'll do it that way. It goes in clientscript/yui/animation

I'll send you the whole version

[Lynne]

Nice DobieGillis!

Thank you. :)
It's a default vbulletin file. It's in clientscript > yui > animation . Make sure you uploaded it with your installation.

Thank you so much Lynne. It's working now. :)

[Daky]

hm, script looks to be working, only thing is that i dont get any notification for new post , i only get new post itself,....

is there any spot that i have to enable notifications?

[DobieGillis?]

Thank you so much Lynne. It's working now. :)

it was my idea, lol! Lynne?

[Coders Shack]

Coders Shack why you need to invent vbphrase variables in javascript?
Code in your php

<script type=\"text/javascript\">
var threadid = $threadinfo[threadid];
var ajax_last_edit = $threadinfo[lastedit];
livetopic.old_topic = ' . $vbulletin->options['livetopic_threadtime'] . ';
livetopic.interval_time = ' . $vbulletin->options['livetopic_requestinterval'] . ';
livetopic.ajax_max_visibleposts = ' . $vbulletin->options['livetopic_maxvisibleposts'] . ';

vbphrase[\"livetopic_maxpostnotice\"] = \"' . addslashes($vbphrase['livetopic_maxpostnotice']) . '\";
vbphrase[\"livetopic_edit_message\"] = \"' . addslashes($vbphrase['livetopic_edit_message']) . '\";
vbphrase[\"livetopic_newresponses\"] = \"' . addslashes($vbphrase['livetopic_newresponses']) . '\";
</script>

Generated this in html source



It is nonsense and useless to have vbphrase variables definition inside HTML source. These all is classified as HTML error from any HTML checker.
true... there are other ways i could have done this, in the next version i should fix this.

i wanted to give users the ability to change the values

[Coders Shack]

i really would like to install this plugin to my board, i tryed 2 times installing it and after 5 minutes my server dies, overloaded, i was checking the top statics and seems like mysql reaches 100% cpu and then it dies.

My forum has a big database might be that, any ideas how can i install this pluging?
if you have a big board i suggest that you disable your forum before installing and re-enable it when its done. (you don't have to do this when updating, but when uninstalling i would suggest it)

[Daky]

hm, script looks to be working, only thing is that i dont get any notification for new post , i only get new post itself,....

is there any spot that i have to enable notifications?

i dont even have notification when somebody edit their previous post :(

any help would be much appreciated!

[Coders Shack]

"notifications" should only show up if you entered the thread on a page other than the last page.

[Daky]

still not showing,... same as for first problem i have

1. script looks to be working, only thing is that i dont get any notification for new post , i only get new post itself,....

is there any spot that i have to enable notifications

2. i dont even have notification when somebody edit their previous post

[dutchbb]

Importing seems to take forever? Why is that?

[Lynne]

If you look at the install code, you'll see both the post and thread tables get altered. This can take time, as has been mentioned before.

[dutchbb]

Second time it was fast. Bad connection I guess.

I'm now looking at a live topic, but do not see posts get added, F5 does show new posts. So it's not working for me (3.8.2 & Chrome or Safari).

please list the plugins you have... this works out of the box with 3.8.x cross browser. The conflicts are with the other plugins you may have.

[Daky]

Update:
We even disabled all of the above plugins, Only left was Live Topic and still nothing!!!!
We also tried switching to default VB style, same thing.

Any ideas? Suggestions maybe?

[Lynne]

I don't know that this will help, but I had some problems with this mod and our server mod_security. After looking at the logs, I had someone help me make some changes and now it works just fine. Chasing down a server configuration problem though isn't necessarily easy.

[Daky]

Hi,

mod_security is not enabled\installed on our server at this moment.

Thanks

[Lynne]

Hi,

mod_security is not enabled\installed on our server at this moment.

Thanks
The point I was trying to make is that sometimes it doesn't work because of a server configuration and so you need to look through all your various server logs sometimes to figure out what the problem may be. (If that is what the problem is. It could be a modification - several have been mentioned in this thread to cause conflicts.)

[darknusens]

Very nice mod! *Marked as installed. One thing is saw wrong though, on the readme.html it says:Then go to your admincp and install the product ('product-livevideo.xml')

But the only XML file there is: product-livetopic.xml

Just a heads up if it hasn't been said already. If it has sorry bought that. :p:o

[pspcrazy]

Only issue with this so far is that when a page ends, there is no notification to go to the next page, it just ends leaving the user ending. Other then that it's great thanks :)

[Wonksta]

I've got a pretty ugly problem at the moment, love the hack btw but I can't figure out what is causing this.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/05/140.jpg

It just wont parse the images and stuff I circled before displaying the new post. It only happens with Live Topic addon when a new topic is quickly posted or I make a quick reply...

[Lynne]

As I said on vb.com, use something like the firebug plugin for firefox to check the image paths and see what is wrong.

Turns out a single image dir had changed structure since our migration to a dedicated server. Thank you Lynne!

I love firebug! It's very useful in debugging stuff. Glad you figured it out.

[Frederik10k]

Great mod!

INSTALLED :D

[ricardoNJ]

Excellent!!!

[citeman]

I think the idea is fantastic but it will have problems working with large very active forums. I was thinking maybe if static files could be used to create and update the threads instead of pulling it from the database it may perform better.

I mean when posts are posted in Live Topic store them as compressed html files in a folder and then have the ajax script check for new posts in the thread and pull those files and display them. This could also get rid of those nasty incompatibilities. Since the post will be stored with everything processed it would just be a matter of pulling and displaying the html.

I am thinking about having this developed properly - please contact me if you could work out something like this. I would bear the development cost and of course it would be free for all.

[Daky]

uninstalled - not worth trying no more---- still same problems ;(

[trotskid]

This is an awesome addon, but definitively for specific forums, so I?ve uninstalled :(

Server Load Averages 123.89 44.03 89.06 | 1,694 Users Online (651 members and 1043 guests)


Absolutely yes, I have 1 big forum that online at peak around 1900 and usually around 1600 at once time and my server got leaking and lagging till dead (Must restart httpd) after I activated this mod, and I recommended to technician forum who have user above 1000 to not use this mod except u have multi server cluster and best performance servers.

[citeman]

Seems this mod is not actively monitored by the developer - I have posted a project on elance to get a developer to develop this with static files option. Haven't found a developer yet.

[RobbieZ]

Why does it interfere with topic of the month/week and marquee?

[Daky]

this mod is nothing other then one good idea ,.... i whish its actually working :(

[DobieGillis?]

Why does it interfere with topic of the month/week and marquee?

I have it working with Marquee.

[Shamil.]

Will you bet getting this mod updated asap for vBulletin 4.0, scheduled in the comming weeks?

[godarmy]

can we check it with thread ban ?? how if it banner to enter thread??are it still compatible??

[stuartn]

Just installed will watch with interest - loved your video cool. I run vbadvanced now having this on the recent threads block would be out of this world.

[iBardia]

I did everything and it's not working.

[Dilldogs]

Very cool Mod. with this mod you don't need to add a chat room or a shout box and that is great.

[stuartn]

loved it but unfortunately many users complained that the site had slowed to a near halt as a result of it and I had to turn it off.

[megroup]

Hello, thank you for your mod.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell the difference in posting a message. Except i receive a notification on bottom of my browser

[stuartn]

We loved it but some members where not experiencing any lag while others just couldn't get around the site due to it. I personally think its intensive on the browser hence some are fine and others were puling there hair out. The idea is great the ease of its install is great its just a pity it has a strong side effect on peoples browsers.

[megroup]

Also, once i'm in a live topic, it doesn't seem to add new posts automatically. I only get notification on the bottom of my browser. Also, server load has increased from usual 0.80 to 3.2

[megroup]

I found the problem. If you set post sorting "new post at the beginning", Live Topic feature does not work. It only works with sorting "new post at the end".

[Charles_1]

seems like there's a conflicting mod
Yes, you are right. Mentioned problem was caused by another hack, Let user choose how many reputation points to give (up to their limit) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=146438) (in version 1.1.0), which is really useful too.

I disabled one of its plugins called "Remove popup rep" and Live Topic is working fine again.

Thank you for this hack.

[jchamber2010]

do you think it would be possible to add a feature that makes it so that the browser title flashes, until you go back to the page to view it? This would make it so that you know when someone replied to a post you were viewing, if you were in another tab, or another browser window.

I don't know how useful this would be to others, but it'd be extremely useful to me, especially because I made it so that the Liveness basically doesn't ever turn off, making our entire forum completely live.

If you could add this feature (shouldn't be too hard to do, and i'd do it but your javascript is condensed which makes it extremely difficult to edit) but I'd apreciate it extremely.

Thanks,
Jchamb

[movslow]

Interesting Idea for a Live Topic intergration.

A few forums I'm on, different than VB, allow the page to refresh w/o reloading when you hit Preview.

Currently Preview reloads the page, and takes time, it would be nice if the page would just appear below your post so you can quickly read it...similar to how Live Topic appears.

:up:

[PGAmerica]

I just installed this and left the default configuration. I went to a private thread and posted several messages back and forth with a friend of mine.

This is not doing anything at all, other than acting like a regular thread. It is not "Live Updating" anything.

Ideas?

[carubmun]

Any suggestions on how to set this up in the admin panel in order to produce the least hit on the server?
Every time i turn this on and have more than 15 users on a thread my site slows down to a crawl and my server load averages skyrocket to around 8-10 across the board.

[Lynne]

Any answer to my question?
Perhaps you have another mod installed that is conflicting with this. Several are mentioned throughout the thread.

[PGAmerica]

So, it seems to be incompatible with PassiveVid (1.x). I tried this test in a thread with zero video links. Is it still incompatible? Is there ANY work-around here?

[PGAmerica]

I just read back and saw this post.
I use Passive Video with Live Topic and no problems at all on 3.8

It seems that although PassiveVid is on the incompatible list, it is NOT incompatible. I am not running any other supposed incompatible mods.

Any answers?

[Lynne]

I just read back and saw this post.

Take a look in your error_logs and see if there is anything there. I know I had to change some settings in mod_security in order for it to work correctly for my site. I found that out by reading the error messages for my mod_security.

[PGAmerica]

I got this working by turning off PassiveVid. However, I am getting this message from my other admins.

This is causing problems. Jamming peoples computers - interrupting them by blocking their posts when they type etc. Works really well in some threads but in the threads where there are a lot of people posting at once and people are heavily chatting it has a big issue.

Is there a way to limit this mod to specific forums only?

[Jaxel]

having a problem with this mod... if a topic is live... quick reply returns an error.

[kcdj]

What is the hook that is used to make the "live topic" gif show up when a thread is live? I would like to add this to the VBAdvanced portal latest threads also.

This would be great so that users can see a topic is live from the portal.

[jarosciak]

Installed it, now my forum stopped working, getting an error:
MySQL Error : Incorrect key file for table '.\grf\post.MYI'; try to repair it

I am trying to repair the database now.

[ShadowStalker]

Excellent mod

[DragonBlade]

We absolutely LOVE this modification. :)

However, we would like to know how to disable certain usergroups from using it (namely, Guests (Usergroup 1)). Sometimes we get a bunch of guests viewing our manga section on release days, and we'd really only like logged-in users to be able to use the Live Topic, so as to decrease load.

Thanks!

--Sarteck

[aztecboi2003]

Goes this work well with Automatic thread tagger? I looked through the thread and didn't see anyone really mention it.

[The Big Three]

I love this modification however I have recently had a problem on my forum and I'm curious if this could be the root problem to it.

There are users telling me their posts have been disappearing out of thin air....

[jaredwilli]

This isn't working for me. It did work for a few days after installing it, and it still works for my other members, but it doesn't work for me. Any ideas?

[SliceofLife]

I installed this, and I'll keep it. Thanks for the mod.

[WFSU]

Installed!

[mattdonders]

Installed this.

Seems pretty stable so far. Some users are reporting freezing, lagging and posts disappearing, but I think once I tweak the settings it will be awesome.

Great add-on!

[inciarco]

I had this issue. Turned out that in the latest version, there was a file missing. It was animation-min.js. It was in 1.06 not 1.07. I figured it out by running in debug mode. Not sure if that is needed in 1.07 but when I took it out, it stopped working in FF and Opera, but worked in IE. Putting it back in solved my issues.

I Confirm this Solution; I installed the Latest Version of Live Topic without having installed the previous ones, and this File was missing on the vBulletin Installation; by Uploading this File the Posting Started to Show, (before the Postings were made but with Blank Spaces, that if copied and pasted contained the Post but Invisible on Screen); the problem was happening on FireFox and on Chrome, but not on Explorer 6.0; Is Very Important to Include that File on the Zip Package, because many users can be Experiencing this Bug caused by this Missing File.

My Best Regards.

[inciarco]

I'd like also to Report a Conflict of this Mod with "vBFavorites (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?do=producthelp&pid=psionic_vbfavorites)", and only by Disabling that Mod is that Live Topic works Fine.

Coders Shack, I Hope that you can Share with Us an Update with the Solution of the Bug of the Old Posting Hiding Problem; that is a Great Feature that would be nice to be able to Use. ;)

That file is included in your vbulletin download package and thus there is no reason to include it in the download for this modification.

I was having the same problem with live topic conflicting with Vbfavorite. I find that if you disable "Enable favorite posts" in your vbfavorite menu, it will work. Best of luck to ya. :)

Is Not Included in the vB373 PL1 Package, Lynne. :(

Perhaps on the Latest Versions Yes, but Not in that Particular One, so for Users with the vB373 PL1 Version it'd be Very Useful to have that File on this Mod's Package (perhaps as an Optional Upload Folder and File in case is missing); I was Lucky to Find that Post that I Quoted and also to have the Previous Versions of this Great Mod (one of the Best Ones for vBulletin), but for other Users that don't have the Previous Versions of this Mod, it Won't Work Fine. :(

This is a mod in the 3.8 section. If you are using the 3.7 version, you should be posting in that thread about not having it available. It IS available in the 3.8 download of vbulletin.

[Greenskull]

I have gxboxlive installed. Is this why it doesn't work?

[crazlunatic]

I'm on 3.8.0 and don't seem to have any incompatible plugins. Why doesn't it work? If it helps my forums is at http://windows7center.com/forums

[demoniavbh]

Could this be implemented in Social groups?

[jaredwilli]

Okay, I came to realize that admins get glitched, so they are unable to see live topic work. I made a regular account and it works for that, but for my admin account it does not. I would like to figure out how to fix it so I can use it. Any ideas?

[mattdonders]

I am an administrator and I have Live Topic on 3.8.2 working just fine.

I'd guess you have some plugins that are admin only that are interfering with this mod.

[Stubbed]

FYI - On a large forum this will take a very long time for the mod to install, as it has to modifiy the posts table. I thought something had borked, but I was just impatient. Ended up doing the install code manually to double check:

Query OK, 1225228 rows affected (1 min 50.80 sec)
Records: 1225228 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0

[Stubbed]

There also seems to be a minor issue when using with this mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=176386

The profile field will show the data, but not the label of the profile field, ie:

: 3.8.1
: 71
: Blue Lagoon,Fixed

Would be all that would show if this forum were using that mod when I wrote this, and you were watching. I think that mod had this issue with quick replies origionally.

[sportwiz628]

How do you install it?

[Keesa]

download it and in there is a readme with install directions.

I am going to try it now, which me luck!:erm:

[Keesa]

This Is Amazing.

Omg.

[Merjawy]

I read this about 3005 and half times in the past .. I just didn't think I read it right till tonight :) will install it now on my 3.8.3 test forum


Thanks for a great hack just from reading on it

[Merjawy]

Installed on 3.8.3 and works great.. there is however a conflict with vBFavorites


Thanks a mil



EDIT:

amazing hack for real..

I would like to see some more options like you can set certain forums maybe? group permissions? I can't use it now the way it is now cuz its open for abuse . but I do love it

I will keep it installed till they users find out about it then I have to disabled it :)


Thanks again

[Dustin_a31]

I am also currently having the admin bug,

My users can see the topics being posted in live no problem.

But when I or anyone in the admin group watch the threads there is no ajax magic. I am currently attempting to figure out why, any suggestions welcome.

[MAORBARI]

i download it and i install in the begin it was warked but after it is not.
i try to delete and to install again and it dont help.
i must help someone plz?

[redhawk89]

Hey there, I'm looking to make a very simple webpage... the idea is to make the entire page one single page, that is, a "leave comment" page that has a low serverload, basically an entire webpage that is just a single thread, is the best way to look at it.

Does anyone know where I should start? I already have the domain, but I would like to use something like, oh, I dunno, abasic template of a "submit form and have it posted to this page" type thing.. that after say 30 posts, it puts them to page 2, etc...

A never-ending thread page. Any ideas? This all kind of loosely ties in, I run a vB forum, but I registered a domain on the side just to try this as a standalone thing...

[meeja]

After installing I got the following error.

PassiveVid (1.x) but i can always replace those with something else :P

With the option to make posts disappear from the screen after x amount of replies...does this just disappear from their viewing or actually delete them? Also, does the first post stay on the screen so people know what they are talking about?

I am having problems with this in Google Chrome 3.0.193.1. Works fine on FF and IE and I also believe Chrome 2.

If a page is updated by another user (which triggers the ajax call) while Chrome is on the page, Chrome crashes. The only error I've found is "Aw, Snap!" it doesn't provide details, but I've absolutely narrowed it down to Live Topic and ONLY when the thread is _active_.

I only have the one workstation with Chrome on it to test with, so I am hoping someone else can test with Chrome 3 and see if this can be duplicated so that it can then be fixed.

Installed and uninstalled for the second time. Just can't get the pages to auto refresh, and have to manually refresh after someone else posts.

Sounds like a wonderful hack for those that it works for though.

I appreciate your effort.

[LCN2007]

Nice, had to disable
USC
PassiveVid (1.x) but i can always replace those with something else :P

what is USC?

Is there away to display live topic on VBA Recent thread block?

Is there a way to display how many members are viewing a thread?

[Asdrubael]

I got a blank page in my ACP when installing this addon (plus weird long loading times). Any ideas?

[Evans Performan]

i am also curious about posts disappearing. i cant have posts getting deleted. my forum is about tech write ups and things where each thread has good information all through it.

Yep...wait. The more posts you have the longer this action will take to install. It appends a column to the post table. We have 1.3 million posts and it took us about 20 mins to complete this action.

So far, we have not had this issue.

Template add icon or something that indicates at the top of a thread you are currently viewing a LIVE TOPIC.

Does this put heavy load on a big/traffic-heavy site?

Not as much as you'd think...

Plus, most big/traffic-heavy sites should have a little bit of head room to support it. I'm running it on a board that has 1000-1500 active users all day long and 13 million posts. I won't lie, server load increased, but the users love it :)

And no one has reported any problems with Chrome? See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1853182&postcount=857.

with that much traffic i'm guessing you do some sort of advertising. has this affected your revenue? my guess it cuts down on impressions and in turn clicks.

[MentaL]

Amazing but I found a bug, when a user replys sadly it does not display the entire string correct for blog entries (under their username); example;


Blog Entries: 3 (http://forum.ragezone.com/blogs/mental/)

after replying

: 3 (http://forum.ragezone.com/blogs/mental/)




Also the thank you button does not appear.


Thanks :)

[MentaL]

Also how do i remove that live topic icon or is it recommended for reasons unknown to me?

I figured out what caused live topic to stop working for me. The mod vbTwitter conflicted with it. I disabled it, and now live topic works for me again weeee

Which version do you have installed? I have 1.0.3 installed on my site and Live Topic works fine. (I did do the template edits manually, but I'm not sure if that would make a difference.)

[Zaki Shafqat]

This is thread of the Month :D

Excellent MOD

Thanks a lot

Installed and working fine

[Staircase]

Does this support Safari 4? You listed SF2 and SF3, but not SF4. Thanks.

EDIT: Just installed it, and it works on Safari 4. You should add that to the description!

[Sweeks]

Is there a simple way to get this to validate?

[Viruseater]

This is very very nice.

[markblair]

I installed the mod but I get the following error message in IE when a user is viewing a Live Topic thread that had someone post a new message to. When I post something in IE and then view that same post as a different user in Firefox, I don't get the error but nothing happens. I have to refresh the page to see the new post.

it is not work mw...
i have 3.8.4 version..
why it is dont work?
thx..

[Kolbi]

Is it possible that your addon is causing validation errors?

Works great on one of my forums, attempted to put it on another and i get:

Importing Product, Please Wait...

[:]

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/myhabbon/public_html/forum/admincp/plugin.php(1995) : eval()'d code on line 4

Yet the connection is fine for other products...

[popmyzit]

in options i put in 0 to show all posts, still removes posts from the beginning... clean install vbulletin 3.8.3

this could be a great mod so far pretty good

[Cloudrunner]

Well done!

[Cloudrunner]

Unfortunately, I love this mod so I can't get rid of it, the flip side is that it refuses to validate showthread.php or forumdisplay.php due to the slashed doublequotes in livetopic_hooks.php. I've tried adjusting the code in that file and it just breaks the forums. Thus, cannot validate until the slashed doublequotes showing in the HTML is fixed. I'll be looking into other ways of making this work that will validate.

[Edrondol]

Best. Mod. Ever.

[Keesa]

It nearly brought my site to her knees when we had 500 people online at once in the same thread.

Our host nearly took us offline because of the heavy OD on Ajax.php

What are we doing wrong?

:(

[New Joe]

The xml file won't import, any ideas why?

[New Joe]

Things I am required to tell you i guess:[LIST]
installs are tracked (upon install track.scriptasy.com is pinged, it just tracks installs not uninstalls or anything else. This can be removed in the product XML)
Am I right in understand that to do the above you would have to remove this;
// tracks install
// simple ping.. remove or comment this line out if you
if (function_exists('file_get_contents')) file_get_contents('http://track.scriptasy.com/livetopic/1.07b/'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
:confused:

[New Joe]

It doesn't seem to be working, could this be due to removing the above in the xml file?

[New Joe]

Ok I have checked and everything was up loaded from the 'upload' folder correctly and the xml file installed with only the edit I posted above but after testing it it doesn't work.
The live topic icon shows but the Threads don't automatically update when new posts are made in them within the set time limit.
Any help on this?

[New Joe]

Working now, the vB Favorites mod was the problem, disabled and all is ok.
Top class mod this.

[realmr]

is it possible to restrict live topics to certain forums and is it possible for admins or mods only to select the topic to be live so that other topics will not get affected by these changes ??

[DolphinEcho]

I had to commet out the track url for it to install in the xml file, as it was timing out.


if (function_exists('file_get_contents')) file_get_contents('http://track.scriptasy.com/livetopic/1.07b/'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

To

// if (function_exists('file_get_contents')) file_get_contents('http://track.scriptasy.com/livetopic/1.07b/'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);



Also I noticed the orange Live Topic image has some white areas in it and not fully transparent

Thanks for the great mod :)

[DolphinEcho]

Hi,

Is there anyway to get this to work on VB Advanced ?

[matthewhotdude]

anyone else have the problem where posts will dissapear ??? and you have to refresh for them to come back?

[inciarco]

anyone else have the problem where posts will dissapear ??? and you have to refresh for them to come back?

In some of the Posts of this Thread and on the vB37x's Thread is Explained how to do that; it has been answered several times. (the Mod has that BUG and you need to set the Option of the Number of Posts to Start Hiding the Old Ones to a Big Value, like 10000 so that they don't Hide and cause that Malfunction).

My Best Regards.

:)

I get loads of these now :(

[matthewhotdude]

Anyone?

[War.Frog]

I searched this thread for "Thanks", and "Thank you" but found no hit so hopefully I'm not re-asking this question.

I have the Post Thanks and Post Groan mods installed, and I find when a Live Topic reply pops up it's missing the Thanks / Groan buttons. Is there a way to enable their display?

[Kolbi]

Does this hack need many ressources?

[matthewhotdude]

un-installed does not work

[alhindasi]

this not work in 3.8.4 can you update to 1.10

[Alfa1]

Yes, this will use a lot of resources. Its not wise to put it on a large board, until member group permissions are added.

[Kolbi]

Is this addon still be developed?

Because there are some issues...

[mantoi]

uninstalled

[Aclikyano]

WOW it was making my site *on a dedicated server* go so slow...
I dont get it, users said it was working but it wasn't like how I seen it at other boards for me
It just showed all posts after I made post on quick reply

[Aclikyano]

please help, want the posts to autoshow up while im sitting in a thread on vb 3.8.4 / firefox

[Alucard^]

Yes, doesn't work for me in 3.8.4, the image "Live Topic" appear but the live messages in the topic doesn't work.

Unsupported?

[accludetuner]

Installed and everything seems to be working right except for 2 things really.

1. The edited message does not show when a message is edited. The red box does but there's no wording. The language phrase for "livetopic_edit_message" is shown in my VB phrases. I check the code for livetopic_hooks.php and all appears to be good there. Any ideas of what to try next?

2. In IE8 (haven't tried other versions of IE yet) it does update live like it's supposed to, but the new topic is kinda darkened out. No other browser I've tried do that....only IE8. NOt a big deal just wondering if that's the norm.

Hope to get this 100% soon! Thanks for the awesome mod!

[Ghostt]

how many queries and load does live topic produce? cant beleave that its better for performence.....

[just.b.jealous]

If you have vB3.8.4 and your Live Topics quit working... I think it's caused from an add-on called vBFavorites- try disabling it first then re-check and see if Live Topic still isn't working... mine works perfect after uninstalling vBFavorites from my forums..

[gibby540]

Just updated to 3.8.4 and updated Live Topic. It's not working anymore...

[ctimes]

Not working here after 3.8.4 upgrade :(

Too bad because this is probably my favorite mod of all time and the users love it.. I really hope it starts being worked on again or someone else picks it up if they can.

[Kolbi]

Are you sure that it doesn´t work anymore?

[Swampfox]

Working fine for me with 3.8.4

[TheKdd]

Working fine for me with 3.8.4 as well.

[wanga]

great work, this is awesome!

[AzzidReign]

of course it will make the response larger... but whats the difference if you refresh the page?

bandwidth wise on a active forum this should save you bandwidth.

CPU wise (there may be a hit, depending on your settings)

I still need to run benchmarking tests with various scenarios.

There are already about 10 big boards using this product, i haven't heard any bandwidth complaints. They did however have to tweak the default time settings, to find an equilibrium.

what were your server restrictions? actual data bandwidth, cpu usage, database cpu usage, or database connection limits?
Hi Coders Shack,

Thanks for this great mod. I think my site would fall under a big board. I have over 80k members and I get around 30k unique visitors a day. My only worry is server load. I know you state that it will help reduce load so I'm wanting to give this a try but could you give me an idea of what I should be using for settings to make this work optimally with my server? I'm using:
Processor: Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 1216
Memory: 6GB Burst , 3GB Guaranteed.


AzzidReign

[selwonk]

@Coders Shack

This is a fantastic add-on. I have two forums. On one the only other add-on I had to uninstall to get this to work was vBFavorites. On my largest forum, I make extensive use of the TOTW system and can't turn that off.

Is there anything that any of us can do to help you make this add-on compatible with this hack? I'll be happy to email you Firebug console/AJAX logs, for example, if it would help.

Regards.

[Edrondol]

PLEASE tell me that this will be soon for v4. My users absolutely love this mod and even though we could live without it, who would want to?

[WebkinzCoast]

Still not working for me in 3.8.4

I can give you a list of mods I have if that might help solve the problem?

[Kolbi]

PLEASE tell me that this will be soon for v4. My users absolutely love this mod and even though we could live without it, who would want to?
Please realize that this mod is not supported since a couple of weeks (months) anymore.

[Karm4]

Okay stupid question but what is the link for the Live Topic inside of my forum?? I cant find the live topic threads.

[Kolbi]

All thread are a "Live Topic" like the Demo shows you.

[chris&barb]

Working fine for me 3.8.4

[Edrondol]

Please realize that this mod is not supported since a couple of weeks (months) anymore.

:(


NO! Say it ain't so!


We love this mod.

[Kolbi]

The author of Live Topic was online the last time on October and never bugfixed reported bugs since months.

[ctimes]

How hard is it for someone to pick this up again? Wish I knew how to code better I would give it a shot but there is no way I am going to v4 without it I don't think.

[Lynne]

No one is allowed to just take it over without the developers permission.

[Kolbi]

No one is allowed to just take it over without the developers permission.
And that?s the problem :)

[jesus likes pie]

What people can do, however, is figure out how to fix the bugs themselves and then reply in this thread with a simple HOWTO.

That's the usual 'loophole' (if you want to even call it that) that is used with abandoned mods.

[Kolbi]

A HOWTO remove the xhtml issues would be great :)

[Kolbi]

To get it xhtml compatible you have to edit the phrases.
Replace the ' to " in links or images.
Now only 5 issues are still there.

[Kolbi]

To the persones who said that it doesn´t work in 3.8.4pl1 or say it does, is it possible that only the notices to new posts aren´t displayed anymore?

The ajax include of the new posts still works for me.

[MrRem]

This was my favourite mod on my old forum.
Since starting a fresh, i'm going to wait until it is confirmed that it functions with 3.8's latest release :)

[testbot]

i'm keeping a close eye on this mod. sounds like it has great potential.

it would be nice to have the threads in a forum also automatically update to show if new posts were made too.

[Arcade Fire]

Please developer, update for vb4!!! :)

[skylab]

Please developer, update for vb4!!! :)

Great mod. +1 on that.

[testbot]

can anyone confirm if this is working with vb 3.8.4 pl1?

[Dutch_Boy]

I need this one for my forum. So please fix the bugs so we can us it! :D

[ManagerJosh]

Please developer, update for vb4!!! :)

I agree :). Vote for an update please :D

[ctimes]

can anyone confirm if this is working with vb 3.8.4 pl1?

Yes I am running it with no issues.

[smartkidbk5]

I currently have 3.8.4, but it isnt working.
Hopefully the dev does update this for vB4 though.

[Riccardo83]

id love to install that on vb4

[GreenKman]

Before I download or install this, is there an option to make on a certain thread use this? I want to use it for a special event, not a public feature.

[Lynne]

No.

Doesn't work for my forum. 3.8.4

[AdamCap]

One thing my forum members noticed...when someone replies to a live thread that they are looking at, the words "Rep Power" don't show up in the postbit (I think it's called the postbit), but the number remains, so it just looks like this: " : #".

This only happens for the new replies that come up, all other replies keep the words "Rep Power".

I'm using Firefox and 3.8.4 PL2 incase it matters.

It also happens to me though it is random and I don't think related to the replies. Annoying but we have just been dealing with it.

[MrRem]

What makes this incompatible with the gbxboxlive mod?
I had Live Topic on an old forum and it was amazing. Would love to have it on my new one.

[enginethatcan't]

Tried searching, I installed-reinstalled, re-uploaded everything and the live topic image wont show.....ideas?

I also put the images fodler into every custom style as well as the root images

[roby85]

does anyone know if this mod works with vB 4?

[Mihalis]

The mod no longer works with last vBulletin update 3.8.4 PL2. Any ideas?

[Kolbi]

No :)

I had to uninstall it...

[chris&barb]

The mod no longer works with last vBulletin update 3.8.4 PL2. Any ideas?


still works fine for me with pl2

[Kolbi]

with all functions?

[chris&barb]

yes

[Medina]

Works fine for me with the lastest 3.8 version.

I hope for an upgrade for 4.x

[Kolbi]

with which browser have you tested it?

[ThorstenA]

Bug report: If admincp>settings>Maximum Visible Posts is set to 0, my own written posts are not shown directly, only after reloading the page.

[Medina]

with which browser have you tested it?

Very strange. But since today Live Topic doesn't work for me anymore.
And i didnt change anything at my board. :confused:

Topicstarter; please update your product. Because its a great modification!!

[Kolbi]

Same happenend to me :)

Perhaps your browser has installed a update?

(http://ragtek.org/blog/vbulletin/add-on-gewinnspiel-teil-2/)

[Kolbi]

Has someone watched the product file?

<installcode><![CDATA[
// tracks install
// simple ping.. remove or comment this line out if you
if (function_exists('file_get_contents')) file_get_contents('http://track.scriptasy.com/livetopic/1.07b/'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
]]></installcode>
I guess it isn?t allowed in Germany!!!
Tracking who installs a hack.

[Alfa1]

If I refresh a live topic, then it makes my own posts disappear. Until I post a new reply. Then they re-appear again.

Are there any plans to upgrade this to vb4, resolve the conflicts with other hacks and to add user group permissions? I get no response in the project manager for this mod.
I would love to be able to use this hack.

[Kolbi]

Please vote here for live topic: http://ragtek.org/blog/vbulletin/add-on-gewinnspiel-teil-2/

[ThorstenA]

If someone makes a premium life topic product for vbulletin 4 I will buy it. Or lets find a programmer who programs it and we'll fund it. That is a very crucial product that mixes chat elements with the forum. Very needed for vbulletin 4.

It seems Ragtek is onto this: Please vote here for live topic: http://ragtek.org/blog/vbulletin/add-on-gewinnspiel-teil-2/

[Kolbi]

This is a little present from ragtek. In January you could suggest a hack, ragtek will create for you and I suggested Live Topic.
If Live Topic wins this vote ragtek will create a "Live Topic" hack for me and I´m thinking about publishing it...

[Dutch_Boy]

Voted for live topic!!!

[Arcade Fire]

Voted for live topic!!!

+1. Please, share it.

[ugur73]

Voted for live topic!!!

live topic for vb4 please.:)

[Coders Shack]

I will be making a new version for vb4. And it will jave quite a few new features.

[AdamFL]

Thank you! waiting for the vb4 version.

[Dutch_Boy]

I hope the vb4 version will work with 3.8.4 to. Because im not going to upgrade my forum yet.

[Coders Shack]

I hope the vb4 version will work with 3.8.4 to. Because im not going to upgrade my forum yet.
It will not work with anything less than 4.0. A lot of stuff has changed in 4.0 so it cant be backward compatible.

[Megatr0n]

In that case any maintenance release on the way to fix all the mentioned bugs?

[Arcade Fire]

I will be making a new version for vb4. And it will jave quite a few new features.

Thanks, i love this mod!!!

[ctimes]

Thank you I can now sleep better at night knowing this :)

[romeo12]

Great Mod. Is it possible to make LIVE to selected Forums or Threads?
I dont want 100% threads of my forum to go live. If not thread specific, can we make it Sub-forum specific?

[New Joe]

Any ideas when the vB4 version for this will be out?

[Arcade Fire]

developer is working on it. :)

[WebkinzCoast]

I love this mod, and I hated it when my host told me I was exceeding the maximum bandwidth allowed. Heres a solution I found - Make it so that it's 4 seconds, that way you use a fairly less amount of BW.

[azn_romeo_4u]

Just want to chime in real quick. Works for my forum. But I do got a question...does this show up for guests? Or is there a way to disable it for guests...because this is gonna blow up any server if you got guests being able to see it as well.

Would disabling the javascript for guests disable the entire thing for them as well?

[mechanist]

Too bad, not working on my site. Maybe another add on is the reason... :(

[ctimes]

Would love to see this for v4, as others have mentioned would not have an issue donating a few bucks to get it moving along.

[ugur73]

live topic for vb4 please......:)

[InsaneSkippy]

Would love to see this for v4, as others have mentioned would not have an issue donating a few bucks to get it moving along.

I agree, I wouldn't mind donating to speed things up.

[DragonBlade]

We'd make a contribution to the cause, too.

[Boots]

Miss this mod SO much! How goes the progress?

[stack24]

I just installed this but seem to be having a problem. I was testing it out and some users said they could see the live refresh working but I don't see it. When i try to use quick reply anything i put in there doesn't automatically show up in the thread like it used to before the modification was put in.

If i disable the Mod then my quick reply works. I have tried it in all three browsers with no luck. My time settings are as follows

Thread Idle Time 30000
User Active Time 30000
Request Interval 3000

Any reason why it would be doing this? Thanks

Maybe you have some Mods Activated for your Usergroup and Not for the Other User's Usergroups, and that/those mods are Conflicting whith this one.

Check Which Mods, specially those that Work on the Postbit and ShowThread, are Active for you and not for them, and Try Disabling them for you, and make tests with 2 different browsers and 2 different users with your same computer (it works as long as the browsers are different), and that way you can locate the Conflict Mod.

Also Check the Reported Mods that have Conflict with this One, on this Thead's Posts, and on the First Post of this Thread. ;)

My Best Regards.

:)

[horussjr]

vb4.0 update? pls

[dihuta]

Yes, need this for vb 4.0
Thank you!

[Dutch_Boy]

Stop asking the same question over and over. Vb 4.0 will come, but he need some time.

[dexterstat]

not working for my site vbulletin 3.8.4 version :(

[inciarco]

not working for my site vbulletin 3.8.4 version :(

You Should Have a Conflicting Mod.

Read This Thread and the vB37x Thread for this Mod, to Know the List of Mods that Conflict with this One and the Possible Solutions. (Also on the First Post of the Threads are a List of Some of those Conflicting Mods).

My Best Regards.

:)

[inciarco]

Stop asking the same question over and over. Vb 4.0 will come, but he need some time.

Will there also be an Update for this vB38x/vB37x Version where the Old Posts Vanishing Bug is Corrected? (that Function isn't Working in the Latest Version of the Mod). :confused:

My Best Regards.

:)

[Boots]

4.0 bump.
