Can't wait for the vB4 version

[Karm4]

Installed Thanks Works Great!

[nnStaff]

I have fixed this on my forum for vb4. I don't have the thread icon working but it seems to work otherwise.

How would I go about "releasing" my vb4 version? Do I need to get in contact with Coder's Shack, or do we just wait for his instead? I don't really wanna take credit for the plugin or anything, but I'm sure many people are waiting on this for vb4 so if I can help out in any way let me know

[nnStaff]

For those interested, I will host it on our forum we upgrade to vb4 and test it out on a live forum.

[Delilahs]

any chance this can be used on vB4?

[mrpaint]

I believe there is a bug in the javascript code

var r=livetopic.$("#postcount"+4+" strong").length>0?livetopic.$("#postcount"+4+" strong")[0].innerHTML:0;

Should be replace by

var r=livetopic.$("#postcount"+d+" strong").length>0?livetopic.$("#postcount"+d+" strong")[0].innerHTML:0;

Hope to see a vBulletin 4 version soon :D

[Medina]

Please place your version and refer to Codershack as the source. We really need Live Topic for vB4. :D

[Bacon Butty]

Just another one pleading for it on vB4!

[DGKN]

please we are waiting for vB4. Hear our voices immeditiely:)

[Hostboard]

Have you visited the authors support site? Besides being over run with SPAM his support is NIL. I paid for a pro version of his software and have never received one iota bit of help. Thankfully I only wasted $5

I on the other hand got a lot of help when I needed it. So either I got lucky or you got unlucky.

But I still want this for v4. :D

[MrRem]

Any ideas on getting this to work with social groups?

[NakedCrook]

I thought I should let you guys know, LiveTopic 1.07b on vB 3.8.4 is incompatible with vBTwitter

This was the issue I was having.

[James T Brock]

Yeah, this mod author is incredibly unreliable. His paid scripts list features that don't even work, it's only $5 but it's still not cool to take peoples money for things that don't work. He doesn't care and doesn't offer any support for any of it.

[zerohead]

I have fixed this mod but vB will not let me post it because it is copyright of Coders Shack. I cannot get a hold of the author so I'm not sure what to do at this point

Is it a total re-write ? or just few fixes?

If it's a total re-write then you may as well claim it for yourself and give the guy credit, if it's a simple fix just tell us The where and what :D

Thanks man, we're all waiting :erm:

[Boots]

Yeah, someone post up the fixes!

[inciarco]

In some cases on some Mods I've seen that some Coders Share their Corrected Versions of the Mods with the Author and the Users, for it to be Tested, and they've simply Posted the File, the Author and Users Review it (at their Risk), and the Author Post the Update with the Respective Thanks and Recognitions to the Coder that Shared the Updated Version of the Mod.

I don't think there's something wrong with it. The Author Benefits, the Users Benefit, You Benefit by Sharing the Updated Mod and Getting the Recognitions (from the Users and from the Author if he Access His Account).

It'll be Really Nice to Test the Updated Version of the Mod. I Voted for this Mod as MOTM and It'd really Good to see the Bugs Corrected, some of them that I've Reported too.

My Best Regards.

:)

[Lynne]

Guys, enough of this. The developer has not given permission to have a vB4 version of this mod posted. In fact, someone even said he was working on it himself. Anyway, a vB4 version of this mod that isn't written/approved by the developer is not going to get posted in here. End of discussion really.

upgrade works perfectly with 3.8.x

still this probably one of the best mods i have ever used

[brvheart]

I think there might be an issue with this if more than one user are logged in from the same IP. I am able to use this mod, so long as no others are logged in from the same IP viewing a live topic. If there are more than one, it locks the entire site up.

When I was testing this mod, I had one user using one browser, the other user using another browser. Obviously we were using the same IP. I never had any problems. So, your issue could be a server issue and not a modification issue.

interesting - That is how I tested it - same computer, different browsers logged in as seperate users. if I logged in to the computer at home as one user and then as the other from where I was it worked just fine...I was able to reproduce at will using the same IP on the remote location.

Not sure what the deal is with that....

[cbehan]

any news on a vb4 version of this?

[6piston]

good stuff

[sojobo]

Any chance of getting this upgraded to work with vB 4.x? It's an awesome mod and I'd love to use it on my forums again.

[Megatr0n]

I got a re-write of this hack made exclusively for me by a skillful coder.

It works like the original and works on forumdisplay (thread displays) and index page (Last Post)! :D

[Kolbi]

do you want to share it?

email me it :D

[ctimes]

I would not mind throwing in a few bucks for a solution

[Dave84311]

I've been having issues with livetopic for the past week, with no solution.

After changing servers, and moving databases... Live Topic stopped working. The little livetopic image on the thread title shows up, but the threads never update when some one posts in it. You have to refresh for new posts to show up. Any reason for this?

I've installed and reinstalled a couple times, with no luck.

[Hicksatpd]

It doesn't seem to work for me. :(

When I open in IE8, I get an error, and it is as follows:

I have no idea how to go into livetopic.js and find exactly the one thousand eight hundred fortieth character. How do I do that?

[BirdOPrey5]

There are text editors for programmers that will tell you the character number you are at, google for 'advanced text editor' or such... off hand I don't know of one that does for sure though... I use Notepad2 but it has line numbers, not by character.

[ctimes]

OK, so it's really starting to look like this is just not going to happen. Could someone who has got it working on vb4 please maybe point us in the right direction.

I don't see the problem if it's completely re-written.

+1 for vb4 version

[bacemail]

This mod is great, but I had to uninstall it. My server CPU increased - causing me to exceed my host's monthly limit.

[sticky]

Any way we can get this for VB 4?

[BigJohnny]

this seems to work well but I noticed an issue where a user edited a live topic and and his post disappeared. His post was the first post, and vanished when it was edited, leaving only the replies. a refresh sorted out the problem.

[BigJohnny]

hmm, im not sure the author is even around anymore, the main site is gone.

[BirdOPrey5]

It is unfortunate, this is my favorite mod of all time. I had hoped by now "Live Topic" could have been expanded to add new threads to forumdisplay too. I'm shocked it hasn't been incorporated into vbulletin actually.

because on large forums it is a huge CPU sink. we had to enable it for only select users so the CPU load wouldn't spike

I'll grant you my forum isn't as busy as yours but it actually seemed to lower our resource usage as refreshing an entire page took more of a toll on the sever then getting a single post via AJAX... :confused:

well you have to consider how many people are constantly refreshing. livetopic will do a 'ping' every 5 seconds (or however you configure it). if you have a hundred people looking at one thread, livetopic will be refreshing more automatically than most of those people.

it can help or hurt, depending on how users use your forum :)

[mholtum]

I installed it and all went well. Where is it that the "Live topic" image is supposed to show up?

[BirdOPrey5]

It shows up on "forumdisplay" immediately to the right of a thread title... The newest thread(s) will have the icon until they time out- I think the default is 5 minutes.

I use Chrome and it works fine for me on my site and other's I've visited that have the same mod. Are you sure it's your browser that's the problem?

[just.b.jealous]

This mod still works great, I love it!!

I have noticed that it doesn't support all styles/themes that are currently avialable for vBulletin. Try experimenting with themes if livetopic isn't working anymore. Trust me, the end result will be worth the hassles it takes to get it working.

I'm using-
VB version: 3.8.4
Theme: Blaze (with customized sidebar on all pages, as well as custom templates)
Browsers: Firefox & Chrome. (Haven't got around to testing it with IE..)

Im having issues with this on 3.8.6, it worked for a while then suddenly wouldn't do live posting (auto refreshing) really need help with this ASAP as this mod is the most used on my vbulletin.... Thanksssss

[BirdOPrey5]

One of two things happened...

Either your host/server changed something
or
You added a mod or made a change that killed it, disable anything you've added lately.

(I say "you" assuming you are the only admin, if others can add/edit mods make sure no one else did anything first.)

I know I tried to install this on 3.8.6 and the page just hanged on a white page when it attempted to refresh. I'd love to have this on my site but I simply can't get it to work.

Bump anyone please?

It looks like you have some extra divs in there. Probably a customized template is causing the issue. Create a new style with no parent:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
Parent Style: No Parent Style
Title: Default vBulletin
Allow User Selection: Yes
Save

Now post in a thread where live topic is active - do you still have the same problem?

Hey Lynne,

No it appears to be working perfect in default vBulletin aswell as one other custom template. So it must be a DIV thing could you point me to the template to look into finding this extra divs?

Thanks so much for the reply.

I made a post on vBulletin.com just then before reading your post so I will go delete that now

[BirdOPrey5]

vBulletin.com won't help you with questions relating to mods, they'll refer you here.

The likely culprit is the postbit (or postbit_legacy) template, whichever your forum is setup to use.

OK thanks mate I'll have a digg around post bit legacy anyone else who may think the divs could be elesewhere please post and I will look there also!

I'd take a look at both the postbit_legacy template and the postbit_wrapper template and that is going to also point to the space_open and space_close templates.

We have a version ready for release.. we simply need to create the download area and licensing..
sorry to have taken so long as this was not an easy project to decipher and update the security holes..

we will have 2 versions available.
One free version which will simply be an exact update to the current livetopic and a paid version which will have tons of added features

some of the added features will include:
- forum specific on/off for live topic
- user group permissions
- "paid" subscriptions (users pay to turn on)
- and many more!

The COMMENT AD icon is not showing on my site anywhere during posting. When should it?

[yesfans]

What makes the LIVE TOPIC ICON go to the ORANGE LIVE TOPIC ICON ???

[BirdOPrey5]

What makes the LIVE TOPIC ICON go to the ORANGE LIVE TOPIC ICON ???

Nothing. The orange is just included if you have a dark style because the black icon won't show up well on black.

[yesfans]

ahhhh I see on the color.

In the image package there is a COMMENT AD icon/button. WHere should that be showing up at.
Right now if your in the quick reply box on my site, www.yesfans.com and someposts your screen sorta blinks/flinches then you have to scroll up a hair to see the post. If you happen to be reading the post when a new one comes in it is fine. Anyway around that flinch of screen???
Also not real sure how to set the times in the admin panel of the add on. What is it based on? Seconds????

[BirdOPrey5]

I really don't know what that other image is for, off hand I don't remember seeing it, but it goes in your /images/misc/ folder.

I can't troubleshoot flickers, I never came across that personally, but I would try checking in another browser.

Yes the time is in seconds for "idle" times. For the last box Request Interval, it's in milliseconds.

[yesfans]

what is REQUEST INTERVAL? What does it do?

[yesfans]

It would be this image!

[yesfans]

comment add image. Must be for something if it is in the files that came in the zip for the add on.

[Wonksta]

x2 !

[BirdOPrey5]

what is REQUEST INTERVAL? What does it do?

That is how often the page checks for new posts, by default it's 5000 milliseconds, or once every 5 seconds.

It would be this image!

It shows up right next to the thread title, before the other "Live Topic" icon when a thread is marked as "Live."

[khurtsiya]

is version available for download works fine?
this is great mod I believe!

[khurtsiya]

where this little image should appear?

[BirdOPrey5]

The version here works fine with VB 3.8.x. Your newest posts should show a "Live Topic" icon for a few minutes while the topic is live when viewing forumdisplay... You need a fairly active forum for this to be useful.

[Raul7]

thats exactly why i asked ! the developer said he is done testing and product is finished and just waiting for it to be ready for download.
thats why i asked !

[BirdOPrey5]

I couldn't fix this for IE9 so I did the next best thing, disabled it for IE9 users.

If anyone is interested go to your plugin manager, edit the plugin: [live topic] template edits

Erase it all and replace it with this code:


function ieversion()
{
$match = preg_match('/MSIE ([0-9]\.[0-9])/',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],$reg);
if ($match == 0)
return -1;
else
return floatval($reg[1]);
}

if (ieversion() < 9.0)
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}


I'm using the IE Version Detector from this site. (http://www.krizka.net/2008/03/15/how-to-detect-internet-exporer-version-with-php/)

I only tested this on IE9 and Chrome, no promises, but I'm using it.

[Alfa1]

I really hope that TwistedChoas or someone else will release a full featured version of LiveTopic. The current version has too many conflicts.

In the future we may decide to do just that. But in the meantime we feel that vbulletin.org is quite restrictive as far as modification release requirements. For now, Live Topic can be found elsewhere.

I spent a good while today converting the source code of this mod into a vB4 native format, and it was coming out just nicely until I discovered that the javascript part also doesn't work. Tested on vB3.8.7 and it fails there as well. Sadly, I should have read a few pages back in this thread to find that out before going ahead and waste time.

Try disabling all the mods temporarily and then test Live Topic via two different browsers and see how you go. I had the same issue like you and managed to find which Mod was causing the problem.

That's because you're using template code in a plugin (plugins are php code.)

It would be:

global $vbulletin;
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, array(5,6,7))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'ajax_start';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}


also you need to use $vbulletin->userinfo instead of $bbuserinfo in php/plugins.

include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}


also you need to use $vbulletin->userinfo instead of $bbuserinfo in php/plugins.

Live topic stopped working for all users when I used that code.

I also tried using this, which I borrowed from a plugin for hiding links from guests but it didn't work either.


if ((!$this->registry->userinfo[userid]) OR (is_member_of($this->registry->userinfo, 5, 2, 6, 7)))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'ajax_start';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}

[BirdOPrey5]

I didn't check whether the code is good or not, just that what you wrote the first time was definitely invalid.

This is what I use personally to disable for users with IE 9... (on the global_start hook)

if (ieversion() < 9.0)
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}



And it works for everyone else. If you want it only for mods and admins I would suggest:




global $vbulletin;
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}


(you don't need an array.)

If it still breaks for other users then I don't know, check and make sure no other code was changed.

Thank you, that code worked perfectly. :up:

[Wonksta]

Does it not work with IE9?

If so would you kindly show us how one would incorporate the IF IE9 and usergroup options into one.

I'd like to disable the mod for IE9 like you have BOP and also set it only for specific usergroups.

Thanks so much

[BirdOPrey5]

For me it was not working for IE9, your mileage may vary.

To disable for IE9 just follow what I did in post #1220... Go to plugin manager, edit that plugin, and make the block of code look like what I posted.

If you want to disable on IE9 AND limit it to certain usergroups:


global $vbulletin
if (ieversion() < 9.0 AND is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}


That will allow usergroups 5, 6, and 7 to use it and only if they are NOT using IE9.

[beekay]

This code was working well for me but Live Topic eventually stopped working for me until I reinstalled it. It seemed to work fine during lower activity levels but once I had more members online it stop working.

global $vbulletin
is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}

Also is there a not_member_of alternative? I would like to give this another try to see if it stops working again.

Thanks again to BOP5!

[BirdOPrey5]

Actually that code is missing the if condition, it probably never worked right...

If you want to specify groups the member is NOT a member of, simply put an ! in front of "is_member_of"

example:

if(!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2))

That would be true for all members NOT in usergroups 1 or 2.

[Wonksta]

Are you please able to amend the code above with the if condition fixed I am not sure where it goes in php :\

[BirdOPrey5]

just this:


global $vbulletin
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}


work only for groups 5, 6, and 7

OR



global $vbulletin
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';

Thank you very much

[beekay]

just this:


global $vbulletin
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}


work only for groups 5, 6, and 7

OR



global $vbulletin
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2))
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}


work for all groups EXCEPT 1 and 2.


I'm sorry but this code is just not working for me, I'm wondering if maybe theres a conflict somewhere else. I've tried both versions of the code and Live Topic stops working no matter what I do. I've tried adding it to both ajax_start and global_start. I've tried each plugin individually with the code as well as both of them having the code. :confused:

Do you have mods the amend postbit? Like adsense ad insertations? It will break if you do, happened for me.

In the mean time DragonByte has his version of thiis available that was less buggy

You do not add that code to any hook.

There is already a plugin on global start.

You need to edit the plugin so it looks like this (erase it all and paste this in)


function ieversion()
{
$match = preg_match('/MSIE ([0-9]\.[0-9])/',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],$reg);
if ($match == 0)
return -1;
else
return floatval($reg[1]);
}

if (ieversion() < 9.0)
{
$is_livetopic = true;
$livetopichook = 'template_edits';
include 'includes/livetopic_hooks.php';
}


Then change the line
if (ieversion() < 9.0)

to one of the conditions I posted above.

If that doesn't work then I'm sorry but this is a notoriously difficult mod to get working and why no one has produced a great working clone. A couple people have tried but they all seem to have their issues.

[Wonksta]

Maybe in vB5? :P

This actual hack has worked great for me, I haven't had any bugs. Just can't seem to modify it to disable it for guests.

The Dragon one? The Dragon one from memory allows you to specify usergroups from memory?

Does anyone have a fix to enable support for the Post Thank You mod within live topic? Right now, the Thanks button is not displayed on the ajax refresh new post.

I just tried the one from dragon and it jumps around much more than this version. I have some very active threads during big sporting events and tonight it was almost impossible to read a reply without it jumping. If it remained static then I would prefer dragon because of the ability to disable it for usergroups and the claim that it uses less resources.
