MARK AS INSTALLED to get support and updates.

[Kitmitsu]

Thanks once again Cyb.

[veenuisthebest]

I hope this one has no changes than this one, as both are 2.3

Finally :)

[SuperTaz]

Thank you.

[Saviour]

Cyb...

Two things:

1. How to rename the navbar link from "ChatBox Full" to simply "Chat"
2. How to put the navbar link in the new "Community" link of the navbar

Update...

Sorry, but I found out how to do this on my own. Directions are listed below for those interested:

1. Login to your Admin CP/Languages & Phrases/Phrase Manger. Locate the following phrase: cybcb_chatbox_full and edit it to your preference.

2. First of all, do not check the setting in this mod to add a link in the navbar. Instead, edit the navbar template in each style:

Locate:
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist"><if condition="$show['friends_and_contacts']">$vbphrase[contacts_and_friends]<else />$vbphrase[contacts]</if></a></td></tr>

Add above:
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=cchatbox">$vbphrase[cybcb_chatbox_full]
</a></td></tr>

That's all there is to it.

[Saviour]

Cyb...

Text colors aren't working...

Update...

Nevermind.

[Saviour]

Cyb...

First of all, let me apologize for all these posts, back to back.

Please take a look at the following attachments. As you can see, when the ChatBox page loads, it doesn't show the navigation tree correctly...as compared to the memberlist navigation tree (image attached, as well).

Is there a fix for this?

[James Argo]

I haven't had any chance to update my live forum in production server to 3.8.0, but I did in my testing server. This mod is the first mod to install and it worked as nice as in 3.7 family before.

Soon my production server will update to 3.8.0, and this mod will definitely be installed there!

Thumbs up Cyb! :cool:

* James Argo clicked install *

[Nadavy]

When we do this are all former chatbox posts lost?

[Valter]

ChatBox messages are lost if you:
- uninstall hack
- click "Delete All Messages" in ChatBox menu

So if you do regular upgrade with 'overwrite' checked, then messages will not be lost.

[christicehurst]

The mod stays on Loading the whole time.

[Saviour]

Cyb...

Since you were on and didn't reply to this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1707922&postcount=8

I'll have to bump the question...

If a user navigates to the ChatBox, the Navigation tree doesn't display correctly. It only shows the [bbtitle]...in my case "Glitch PC Forums". It should show "Glitch PC Forums > ChatBox". Take a look at the images I attached in the post I've referred to so that you get a better understanding of what I'm referring to.

However, if a user navigates to the ChatBox archive page, then the navigation tree does appear correctly. Although it shows "Coder" under my rank here...I'm not that great of a coder. The closest I can figure...is that there's a problem with the XML file coding. When a user navigates to the ChatBox page...it should show this in the navigation tree, but it doesn't. Like I said...it does show correctly if I navigate to the "ChatBox Archive" page...however, on that page it shows "Glitch PC Forums > ChatBox". Shouldn't it read "Glitch PC Forums > ChatBox Archive"?

I've added updated attachments to this post, so that you can see where the problem lies. The first image's navigation tree (circled) should show that I'm on the ChatBox page, but it doesn't. The second image is when I'm on the ChatBox Archive page, but it reads "ChatBox" only...when it should read "ChatBox Archive"...correct?

Again...I feel the issue lies somewhere in the product's XML file, but I don't want to go screwing around with it...for fear I may break the mod.

So...as I have asked you before...is there a fix for this?


Thank you for your time.

[Vaupell]

tx installed, just didnt figure out how to add it to Vba 3.1
not the same install options as descriped. but works fine.

In reference to my previous support request...

Never mind. Product uninstalled.

[Lynne]

So...as I have asked you before...is there a fix for this?


Thank you for your time.
Just do exactly what he did for the archive page.

(Find code like this and modify as below.)

if ($_REQUEST['do']=='cchatbox')
{
require_once('./global.php');
$navbits = array('misc.php?do=cchatbox' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'] => $vbphrase['cybcb_chatbox']);
construct_forum_jump();
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

etc....

[Nadavy]

In the future it would be nice to be able to report messages people post. If not in the main box, perhaps in the chatbox archive? You could even select a spread of messages if they posted it over a couple messages.

[txbritt]

I love this add on a lot because not only is it an easy to get your members attention it is fully customizable.

[Saviour]

Lynne...

Thank you, so much...all is now good. I'm glad someone took the time to help me out. May the help you gave me come back to you ten-fold.

All the best!

[optrex]

how do you prevent users from being able to edit their own posts?

[mastertek2000]

how can i get this installed globe so it show up on all pages thanks

[boandmichele]

how can i get this installed globe so it show up on all pages thanksgo to vbulletin options > cyb-chatbox

find the field that says "index", should be labeled as:
Show ChatBox on (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)

delete the word "index" and it will now be on every page.

[mastertek2000]

i don't see that no where are u sure about this ??????????

[algor65]

How was solved the problem with the security token? I had this problem too and I had to uninstall this Chatbox, although it was very nice


*installed*

But it isn't working correctly. I'm still getting the security token error. I've upgraded to the gold 3.7.0 version -- I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled the chat box but I still get the error

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.

ETA: It works ok in Internet Explorer, but gives the security token error for *some* foxfire users (myself included)

[cykelmyggen]

I have the same issue
me too...:( Luckily I kept an old version 2.0, which is the only one I managed to run on my board. Its running fine on 3.8.0:up:

[mastertek2000]

yup going to remove this one this one

[boandmichele]

i don't see that no where are u sure about this ??????????

yeah its in the options dropdown, just pick the chatbox category. i copied and pasted it from there, and have done it before on my site.

[Nadavy]

Cyb you should add a report feature to the chatbox!

[ValsiSro]

i want to use this chat on an external page ... in my site www.valsis.ro there

[Dream]

if this chatbox used pages instead of an archive (which I never understood why an archive anyway) I would consider dumping mine on my boards.

[cjddrum1]

my smilies and text colors do not work :(

[RedHacker]

I dont understand this but the ChatBox working excellent.. Open desired template and put "$cybchatbox" to desired line.

[Tolas]

i don't see it

go into the Options for Cyb - Chatbox in your admin panel

look for:


Show ChatBox on (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)

The default will have Index listed in the box on that line. If you remove it, it will make the chat load on every page of your site.


Cybernetec,

Any way to add functionality of private chats? I would love to make it so our users could initiate prive chats in a pop up window or even a tab in chatbox itself.

This mod works great though, no issues and like all your other mods could not be easier to install & setup. Thanks for all your hard work.

[Trek]

No smilies seem to be working for me, any ideas?

Also, what is the format used for the date/time values?

I used this page for reference: http://us2.php.net/manual/sl/function.strftime.php

But it doesn't appear to sync up.

Basically I'm looking for the time format of: 3:30pm

[Trek]

Just an update, the smilies display in the archive, just not the chatbox. Nothing is displayed in place of where the smiley is supposed to be.

[dmknights]

Will try this later
Thanks

When people whose names are long post in the chatbox, it alligns the chatbox oddly and pushes all the text further to the right. =/
Still think we need a reporting feature!

I'm having issues with the install. The xml file just hangs and will not load. Any ideas?

Scratch that.... For what ever reason the .xml file won't load from the browse button on either my mac or pc but it loads just fine when i manually place it in the includes/xml folder on the server.

Thanks

Since it's a 10 minute difference and not a timezone difference, more than likely the time on your web server is incorrect as this is where the time would be pulled from.

I can't get it to display the smilies, they are replaced with nothing. However in the archive, they display as they should of in the main chat window. So... sorry I can't help ya, but.. there might be some issues in that area anyway.

I don't want users to be able to edit what they've said. Can anyone help with that? :)

[shabab-on-line]

Hi guys,

I have a suggestion .

Is there any way to let the chat display an announcement each XX minutes ?
It's like an advertising shows on a Bold or just like the words written with (/me) command.

It will be good if you could considered it in your future adding list.

Thanks for the great Chat. :)

First of all: THX a lot for this very nice Addon. Really great.

Unfortunately it seems not to work proper on IE6+7, as for Firefox it runs very nicely.

So, need urgent help to fix the IE display prob as to be seen in the attachment.

Since this is not solved, I cannot use the ChatBox :erm:

Best,

I installed this a few days ago, and as far as I knew it's been working flawlessly, with one exception... At least once each night, new posts made in chat show up in the incorrect order. It's as if the timestamps are incorrect. I just experienced it for the first time a moment ago. Any ideas?

Just wondering, I installed this and its working fine, but a couple of users have said they can't see any smileys in the box. What's strange is that they're both using different browsers, have both cleared their cache etc, so is there anything else that could be causing the problem?

Thanks,

Mike.

[Serk]

Howdy and THANK YOU for an excellent program! (Marked installed)

Feature request if it's not too much trouble - We have different classes of users on our site, assigned different usergroups, as many sites do. Would it be possible to assign either a text, or a color change to the different usergroups?

I.E. New users names are green, senior users names are black, moderators are blue, etc?

Thank you!

Are you using vBA or a custom style? I had the same problem and it was due to the custom replacement variables being used in my style, combined with vBA. Basically, I had to go into the vBA setup again (the installer, you can rerun it) and select the images rebuild. It'll show you what paths are wrong. Then you manually edit those to point to the smilies. The easiest way to find out this was the problem is that if you looked at the archive, the smilies appeared, but not in the main chat box.

Anyway, hope that helps, I got zero support for the problem here, but finally figured it out myself.

[benny92000]

Good chatbox, the main thing is the server load prob. If you leave it at 10 it eats up server load, if you change it to above 10, then the chats will not update often, and the chatbox won't be as effective. A idle feature would be great, but thanks for this chatbox, it is the best on vBulletin.

[wmlvb]

I noticed question have not been answered for a while. Is there support for this chatbox?

My question is. Is there a way to have private chats? Thanks

[kellyandmark04]

Private Chats would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Just like the IP Board Chatbox.

My Shoutbox works, but the archive button doesn't.

I noticed question have not been answered for a while. Is there support for this chatbox?

No there isn't. I have uninstalled this chatbox because of server load, and the layout of it. I changed the layout of it to look like inferno, but it was a little choppy. :p Anyway, thanks for this great mod Cyb, i will wait for a future version of it, with perhaps a better layout.

Thanks very much for your post. Yes, we are running a custom style.

Do you know why its only a few users who are unable to see the smileys? I'd have thought a problem like the above with paths being wrong would affect all users of the board?

The names should appear in chat as the same color they would on your board. All of my users's names in chat match whatever they are normally. I can easily see what group they belong to when they talk. Shouldn't need to change anything in chatbox or add features to accomplish it.

Usernames are ignoring the Rewrite URLs. :(

[alldylan]

I love this mod but I'm having problems with server loads and problems with IE. I run 3.8.1

[cleverone]

Just installed a chatbox in my forum, and also have a image resizing mod installed. When the chatbox refreshes... it tweaks out the image in the chatbox (trying to enlarge the image but resizing real quick). This happens fast and every time it refreshes. How can i correct this problem. Seems like an easy fix, just not to sure where to start. Thanks in advance!

I'm running 3.8, w/ Cyb - ChatBox & nCode Image Resizer

[Nadeemjp]

hi need help:

in my link of chatbox full in the nav bar i dont have the drop down menu for moderation, hence we are really in trouble because cant moderate the messages. any help?

[ForumUser210]

When browsing page of Chatbox Full, the header breadcrumb does not update to include a link back to index.

For example, when you visit Chatbox Archive, you will see Forum Index -> Chatbox, but on Chatbox Full you simply see Forum Index.

Anyone know how I can change the nav bar?

[ForumUser210]

I don't like the alternating colors in the background of the smiley menu. Should have just used the same smiley menu from the forum post form.

[Frogsong]

I have it installed on my forum version 3.8.1 and it's working great. Even with our custom style and custom buglies (our version of smilies)

I do have one question though. Is there a way to list users in chat in the box on the forum page without having to actually click on the live chat box to see if anyone is there?

[emailapphost]

I need a separate chat room for each of my 20+ forums on my board.
Can that be done? Do have 20 DIFFERENT chats going simultaneously?

[ForumUser210]

Whoever wrote this chatbox -- they are bad with CSS.

There is repetitive inline CSS everywhere. The size, as well as complexity of the templates, could have been shrunken significantly by using class tags.

It's impossible for me to edit the template.

[sherwood]

Yup: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1736843&postcount=62

...unfortunaltely no reply to this prob yet... :(

thats not what happened to mine..

mine shoed all the bbcode instead of actually showing it as colored or whatever..

[benny92000]

Well IMO, all this mod needs is an idle feature and the layout like the inferno and i would love it, but until then i'll stay with old, unsupported inferno. Cyb--best vBulletin coder, sure he will come up with something.

[ged]

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

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator (http://www.dipsizkuyu.net/forum/sendmessage.php) and describe the action you performed before you received this error.Is there any solution for this error? I've just installed and had this error.

[ged]

I wonder why Cybernetec ignored (and ignores) every "security token" problem. This is probably the best Chat modification but lots of people cannot use it because of this "security token" problem.

[emailapphost]

Would it be possible to have like a "doorbell" feature that would pling every time there is a new post in the chatbox? That would much ease the work to get the chatbox going when monitored by moderators.

[celikforum]

<div align="left">I would always follow the super-shares are</div>

[sherwood]

This chatbox confilicts with Advanced BB code permissions mod.. thats what was causing my problem.

[Celebutopia]

I installed and now all I get is the loading thingy. I cannot make any entries or anything. Please, can someone assist me? Thanks!

[crazylegs]

I imported the XML file and then chose add plugin. I then set the plugin to active. My plugins are now enabled. Here are my settings. Quotation marks are part of the actual name.
hook location: forumdisplay_start
execution order: 5
php code (huh?): "$cybchatbox"

Can somebody please help me out

[sparky5693]

Works great, but it certainly eats some resources.

[Chorouk]

It's work for me, but guest can't see the chat, i don't know what's the problem (in admin area its alloweded to see the chat).

[GoTTi]

how can i add colors to the dropdown? do i use HTML codes for the colors? i see in the vbulletin options there are words of the colors, and i tried the HTML code and the name of the color and its not working for the one i want to add.

[Valter]

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colornames.asp" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colornames.asp</a>

[GoTTi]

i know the html code cyer, but where do i put it on ur mod to show up in the drop down for the chat?

[Valter]

This setting in product options:
Colors available in drop-down menu

Enter color names or hex values, separate them with commas.

[GoTTi]

i put FF0066 in the box and saved but the color isnt showing up.

[Valter]

It should be #FF0066

[paintballer.ie]

Is it possible to strip some featured out of this. I have no need for the full chat box or archive etc or the size option?

[ibeteck]

how can i remove the chat count located on the postbit

[cindy helmond]

i have a question users can see the chatbox history can you set this option off ?
That only see the moderator ?
thx

[K4GAP]

Is there a way to use an image for the background of the message's area?

[Symbian.info]

Hi Cybernetic.

This is a great plugin and has been working on our forum for a long time. To get more people to use it, I would like to show a reference to how many users are active in Chat on the vbAdvanced portal page (putting the entire chatroom on the portal takes up too much space). When you click on this you go to the chatbox.

I've tried doing this myself, but my vBulletin/vbAdvanced knowledge is too limited to get this working. Can you offer some assistance with this?

Thanks in advance.

[ged]

No answer yet again for the most basic problem of this good hack. :)

[ZexTasy]

Hi,

My setting for dateformat is: %d-%m
My setting for timeformat is: %H:%M

In Opera browser, the time is correctly shown as: [07-03, 20:40]
In IE7 browser, the time is wrongly shown as: [%07-%03, %20:%Mar]

Can you help me find out what is going wrong?

[Darkgardevoir]

some times messages are'nt send D; uninstalling..

[Tonino9192]

Unless I have permission to translate his chabox in Italian and wanted to know if he could put it in your topic and put Tonino9192 source as you can do? I can mdare the Italian translation to an email just as the source that supplies Tonino9192 ok? I do know soon

sorry for English

[Nadavy]

You should add an option for the chatbox to be turned on when the forum is turned off :) That'd be awesome.

[shotkey]

Just wondering if there was a way to link a list of banned words to this - and then have the mod replace a banned word any user types in the chat box with something like a smiley censored icon?

[cjwinternet]

Does this have permission per usergroup ?

[The Coon]

Awesome working for 3.8.1 ... thank you very much! :up:

[donwon]

This is awesome!

I want to have this as a perk for premium members to use. Is there anyway to just include one usergroup to be able to view it?

Also how do I add this as a link on the portal page navbar?

Thanks!

[y2krazy]

Having a little issue. When I choose a new font color and hit Enter, I get the following (correct) result in the Chatbox:

after more replied

However, the second it moves to the 2nd line (if another msg is posted), it turns into the following:

after more replied (no color and the vB Code is shown)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

[Icy]

Requesting Features: Add an option so that we can prevent members from chatbox unless he/she post X per day.

[BeakerUK]

I'm probably being stupid, and I have done a search around. However how would I go about using the navbar link to automatically open in a new window or tab?

Many thanks in advance!

[rabidkevin]

Hello,

The time says 11:11 PM for every reply added to the shoutbox

I think this is the time I installed it.

How do I fix this??

It was a fresh install on 3.8.0

[Selrion]

BUG: Users can ignore the charlimit option by copying a big message into the textarea via the Windows context menu Paste option (right mouse click). It is recommended to add a message length chekup before posting...

[emailapphost]

Is there a way I can allow non registered guest to chat in the ChatBox ?
I would like their ID to become guest200 guest 201 guest 202 etc.
Thanks.

[y2krazy]

I'm probably being stupid, and I have done a search around. However how would I go about using the navbar link to automatically open in a new window or tab?

Many thanks in advance!
If I am not mistaken, you need to go to:

AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Cyb- Chatbox -> parse_templates -> Edit

Find:
$cybcb_navbarlink = "<a href=\"misc.php?do=cchatbox\">".$vbphrase['cybcb_chatbox_full']."</a>";


Replace with:
$cybcb_navbarlink = "<a href=\"misc.php?do=cchatbox\" target=\"_blank\">".$vbphrase['cybcb_chatbox_full']."</a>";


This should open the Chatbox Full version (the link in the navbar) in a new window. I'm not sure of the HTML command for a new tab, nor if that feature even exists. Let me know if that works. :)

~ Sean

[texasf1racer]

Once a user changes their text color, there is no way to change it back to the default... am I missing something here? The problem is that most attempt to change it to black thinking that is the default text color so in the end the users who use our dark skin can't read the black text, they need a way to select the default text color.

[KAWIE1]

I'm having issues with the install. The xml file just hangs and will not load. Any ideas?

Scratch that.... For what ever reason the .xml file won't load from the browse button on either my mac or pc but it loads just fine when i manually place it in the includes/xml folder on the server.


Thanks

Thanks...this worked for me.


go to vbulletin options > cyb-chatbox

find the field that says "index", should be labeled as:


delete the word "index" and it will now be on every page.

Thanks!

[zbosskiller]

Hi,

I've had this mod installed for around 6 weeks. It worked great. Yesterday got home from work, haven't modified the site at all and the chat box says 'Loading' and also the same applies to the 'CYB Stats'

Any ideas would be really appreciated. It's obviously something to do the AJAX but can't figure it out.

Cyber, can you help me please?

Thx

Zboss

[kersti]

I added this to my CPMS as instructed and there's two - how do I get rid of the one down the bottom?

[zbosskiller]

Just go into VBulletin Options >> CYB - Chatbox >> You will then see an option saying 'Position on page (Disable if you add ChatBox manually in templates)' >> Change this to disabled as you have manually added the code to each template.

That should work.

[zbosskiller]

Seriously, waitied 2 days now and no response!

I think cyb doesn't want his hack to be used by vBulletin users. Reason lies in my previous posts, he could at least say "sorry, I can't answer this problem."

[texasf1racer]

Agreed <.<

I have a rather straight forward problem appears to be some sort of bug and haven't heard anything since posting in this thread already. If the damn thing wasn't so popular on my site I'd just remove it..

Once a user changes their text color, there is no way to change it back to the default... am I missing something here? The problem is that most people attempt to change it to black thinking that is the default text color, however that is not the case for all skins, so in the end the users who use our dark skin can't read the black text, they need a way to select the default text color for the skin they're currently using.

...maybe Cyb is away on vacation? At any rate, a simple reply here letting us know you can or can't fix the problem would be cool.

[TacticalNuke]

Cyb,

I was wondering if it'd be possible to add a feature that would turn the chatbox on and off at certain times of the day. For instance, I'm interested in turning the chatbox on only between a certain set of hours.

If this is possible I'd be willing to compensate you for the work.

Thanks.

-TN

[ndahiya]

Think this has been asked before without an answer, so wondering of someone got it figured out....

1. Disable edit button from all users (except mods, maybe) <-- solved
2. Disable archive for all users (except mods)
3. Do not delete messages when user is banned
4. auto scroll to bottom when message order is top to bottom

ndahiya

[ndahiya]

Figured one out... To hide the edit message link for non-mods:
Find (in the product's .xml file) -- There are 2 instances of this string... :
($bbuserinfo[userid]==$cybcb_msg_arc[userid]) OR $cybcb_canmod

Replace with: ($cybcb_canmod)
Alternatively, to INHERIT the *can delete* setting, Replace with:
(($bbuserinfo[userid]==$cybcb_msg_arc[userid]) AND $vbulletin->options['cybchatbox_users_candelete']) OR $cybcb_canmod


Import the product, allow overwrite.
Both methods work fine...

Suspect someone could construct the link and then edit messages, But i can live with it...
To disable it in the code (not tested), search for Ccb_controlArcMessage.prototype.Save and edit the function >> edit the condition???: if (this.active)


===
disabling the archive might require a lot of code to be edited?

[nNJ]

Is it possible to have two seprate Chat Boxes Installed?

For example, I wanted to have One chatbox on Forums/User Forums,

and a Totaly seperate Chatbox on Forums/Leader Forums,

Each with its seperate Archive, Search feature, and full view?

[Valter]

Not possible without a lot of code changes.

[nNJ]

Alright, thanks for the response. I though of a workaround to this problem- it isnt ideal, but Im going to use two different chatbox products ;).

Thanks Cyb!

[nNJ]

Alright, now I'm trying to understand this, but it's not making a whol lot of sense.

I want the chatbox to appear at http://forums.the-void.net/forumdisplay.php?f=8.

What should I type the next to this option -

Show ChatBox on (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)

-so that the chatbox only appears on that specific Forum?



Or Am I doing it wrong completely?

There was something about manually addinng it by adding the "$cybchatbox" to the template code, but exactly what do I type in, and what template?

Sorry for being so slow.. I'm just not getting it.

[AteNa]

Thank you.

[y2krazy]

I concur: this plugin is hanging with "Loading..." and displays an error on page in MSIE (not Firefox) only as of a day or so ago??! I notice the same issues being reported by users of the advanced stats - anyone have this with cyb-chatbox?

This excellent chat has been working without issues for some time now - and I am using 2.3 - it is same behaviour on a board without advanced stats - so it is an implementation thing common to the two in MSIE...

TIA
\\'

Could it be related to these kinds of coding issues:
Most of the implementations also realize HTTP caching. Internet Explorer and Firefox do, but there is a difference in how and when the cached data is revalidated. Firefox revalidates the cached response every time the page is refreshed, issuing an "If-Modified-Since" header with value set to the value of the "Last-Modified" header of the cached response.

Internet Explorer does so only if the cached response is expired (i.e., after the date of received "Expires" header).

Basically, the problem lies with IE's caching mechanisms. So if you were trying to build an AJAX application with a real-time updating component and it didn't seem to work in IE, now you may know why that is.

There are workarounds:

1. Modify the AJAX call (within the client-side script) to check the response and, if necessary, make a second call with a Date value in the past to force the call to the server.
2. Append a unique query string to the call, for example appending a timestamp. This makes the URI unique, ensuring it won't be in the cache and forcing IE to call out to the server to get it.
3. Change all requests to use POST instead of GET.
4. Force the "Expires" header to be set in the past (much in the way we expire cookies programmatically). Setting cache control headers may also help force IE to act according to expectations.

[xiMxAxPr0Bl3Mx]

I love it!

[Sunray2]

Cyb,

My issue mirrors nNJ's request above. We need to have more specific directions to install the chatbox using the second option.

I know you must be extremely busy, but we could really use your expertise.

Thanks,

C.

[AteNa]

thanks

[Gio Takahashi]

I'd like to be able to add an option that allows user to disable chatbox from appearing on the regular pages (yet be able to use full page chatbox), How could I do this? Thanks.

Okay. I think this is possible, only if I make a user profile field, and stick the template code with it... I think.

No fly. Let's say I leave it as "index" even $cybchatbox would not make it show on Who's online page. -_-

[nNJ]

Cyb,

My issue mirrors nNJ's request above. We need to have more specific directions to install the chatbox using the second option.

I know you must be extremely busy, but we could really use your expertise.

Thanks,

C.

Surely someone has used (or even understood) the second option...

A short desciption would be hugely appreciated, not only by myself, but by Sunray2, and anyone else who hasn't understood how to place the chatbox manually.



2. OPTIONAL (custom placement on forum page)
Open desired template and put "$cybchatbox" to desired line.

If anyone understands what the above means, it would be awesome if they could write a short explaination.

I just want to place the chatbox in a specific forum, and only that forum! Not on the Index, and not anywhere else! How would I do that? (The URL to the forum where I would like to place the chatbox is http://forums.the-void.net/forumdisplay.php?f=8)

I apologize for being so frantic about this; its one of the last things I need to do before I am finished, and can open my forums.. and I've been anxiously waiting for a few days.


Thanks,
nNJ

[Gio Takahashi]

I think I got your thing figured out. Give me a minute to confirm first.

[nNJ]

Alright, I was thinking about a solution to your above problem aswell; atleast half of it.


First you need to create a custom navbar link.

To do this, log into your admin panel

Go to style Manager, and select edit in the dropdown menu next to the style you would like to edit, and hit go.

Then expand the navigation/breadcrumb template.

Edit the Navbar template.

Find the Navbar links, most templates mark the beggining of navbar links with some form of comment.

Place this in the order you want it to showup on the navbar (i.e. if you want it to show up before the QuickLinks link, place it above the code for quicklinks)

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://ENTER URL HERE">ChatBox</a></td>

The url of your chatbox should be http://yourdomain/misc.php?do=cchatbox
(assuming this is the location of the forum, ie it isnt in a subdomain)


If you want to make the chatbox "not appear" anywhere on your forums, then place something that isnt recognized in this option (locted: admincp > vbulleti options> cyb - chatbox)

Show ChatBox on (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)


I placed quite a few things there in an attempt to make it display on a specific forum. When it didn't recognize it, it simply did not display the chatbox. I'm not sure if this is the most orthodox way, but it works.


I'm not sure if all of this is 100% accurate. Its the best help I can offer.

Good luck

[Gio Takahashi]

If you set conditional to have the chatbox to display, you should be able to do it. I'm not sure the conditional to make it only display chatbox only on forumid=8

This is pretty much how I did to make it selectable by option:

<if condition="($vbulletin->userinfo['field9'] == 'Yes')">$cybchatbox <br /></if>

where field ID = is the ID of the custom userfield.

[Alien]

Hey!

What would be the easiest way to disable the color option so the menu doesn't appear?

[LGKeiz]

can has request? Can you add a "active users" tab.

[zbosskiller]

Cyb,

If I were to treat people as you do I'd be embarrassed with myself.

Try answering questions to your own damn scripts every now and again!!!

I wouldn't mind if I was new to this and didn't research my query in the forums but I have, and you haven't provided any kind of answer!

Feel free to uninstall it. Thank You :)

[stardotstar]

Cybernetec, I am hoping I can take a slightly different tack here!

I too am suffering from the bizarre "Loading..." issue and have been working on how to fathom it let alone fix it for a while now. It seems that my users with MSIE on either XP or Vista have been experiencing it. I can confirm it with MSIE and XP (my only Win test bed). FireFox works on Windows as members who have missed chat have found by installing it.

This points to it being an implementation of AJAX/Java/html in MSIE that has changed only just very recently>>?? A member sent me this note:
Will
Got to work this morning and my boss tells me that St.George Internet Banking is not working because of an issue with Java 12. St George have Java 10 listed on there site as a fix for it.

Java updated in the last week and I thought that this maybe the issue that alot of us are having with Arc.

Now I am no wiz when it comes to computers but thought this may be worth letting you know.

I cant figure out how to remove it from my computer and install Java 10 or else I would try and let you know how it turned out.

Hope this Helps.
Could it be one of the MS updates recently delivered? Could it be an AJAX related problem to the Java update?

I cannot make any sense of the alert that MSIE states "Error on page." and an impossible to follow error code (see attachment).

Finally I want to point out also that the problem is not necessarily related to your hack - this is seemingly effecting Quick Reply and other AJAX features within MSIE but I also have yet to fully determine just how much is effected by it. The boards here and on vbulletin.com are not suffering when I use MSIE - so that leaves me pretty confounded.

My members are screaming for your chat module - it is very popular and I thank you for it; I hope this wider issue can be resolved and if there is any testing I can do to assist I would be happy to.

Finally I reported this in the advanced forum stats thread - same problem and rolling the version back didn;t help in my case.

Best Regards,
Will

[zbosskiller]

Feel free to uninstall it. Thank You :)

Just what I expected...

Guys, I'm using MGC shoutbox now. Easy to install and looks exactly the same as this one. Has a lot more features though. Try it out.

Z

[Max3D]

i think its been said a few times about the issues with IE

and i have not found a solution if the dev has a solution maybe he should put it in a known bugs section on the mod's description.

I do like cyb chatbox but unfortantly due to not being supported gonna have to move to MGC. Hopfully he free's up some time and can sort out issues better and i can come back.

Thanks

It's been 2 weeks since I first posted my problem. You have posted several times since my initial post without even acknowlegding my issue. If this continues I will have no choice but to find an alternative. I really enjoy your modifications and I have several others installed, but if you only drop in once in a blue moon and only skim through the user posts, you should consider classifying this as Unsupported. I understand you have a lot of other threads to consider and you have other obligations, but if you say you will support something, please follow through. Thanks.

Check out this article for for IE "system error":
http://keelypavan.blogspot.com/2006/07/system-error-1072896658-in-ie.html

Thanks for quick reply. I added <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> to the top of misc.php page and it didn't make a difference when accessing the archive page for shoutbox. The misc.php works fine, it's just http://domain.com/forums/misc.php?do=ccarc don't work.

[utahraves]

Not sure if this bug is posted yet or not: on my board where I have the chatbox, if someone posts a few smilies, the ajax doesn't refresh to the bottom of the box...

[Valter]

y2krazy,
I suppose it's PHP related problem, but not sure how it can be fixed.

CorneliusW,
You should check your php.ini for charset settings. It should be "utf-8", not UTF-8/utf8/UTF8.

[Megatr0n]

Of course it will be.

[tommac3]

Is there a way that I can limit the chat box to only certain groups?

[WEBDosser]

still dont work with vbadvance :(

[hqlman]

Installed this works brilliantly,

Is there a list of commands that admins can use on this shout box like the /me command?

[Valter]

"/me" is the only one.

Options to delete messages, ban/unban users, etc... are in CB Archive..

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=92176&d=1231601299

[Megatr0n]

Of course it will be.

When?

Any rough release date?

Cyb- thanks heaps for that outlink to the utf-8 issue - seems that MSIE is much more picky about the charset syntax and it was driving me mad; not sure why it didn't attract more attention.

I appreciate your linking to the solution - I was drawing a blank no matter how hard I googled.

Hi

I got this error when I banned any user:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /public_html/misc.php(100) : eval()'d code(513) : eval()'d code on line 1

Any Suggestion?

[HabboLan]

How do you get it to show std time not military time . I have H:M and it shows 24 hour time, it also shows wrong date , is that server issue ?
Time on forum is correct

[Noblefist]

Sweet work, your the best. thanks.

[itsheinz]

i have a problem,whenever i have to ban a member in the chatbox this message came out:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/level_class/misc_start.php:89) in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3087
What seems to be the problem?

Hey, Cyb!

I'd love to keep all the other bbcodes active, and just remove the color option menu ability for people as some colors are pretty nasty with light and dark style selections available.

Any pointers on this would be SINCERELY appreciated!

Best wishes.

[Valter]

Remove colors which are the same as backgrounds in styles?

[AMailer]

Any tips on the "perfect" setting for this chat box on fairly high trafficked sties?

Is there a JAVA alternative or something otherwise?

[benny92000]

Great mod, thanks.

What code do i add to put the chatbox on multiple pages. I remember it being something like $cchatbox, but i know that is not it exactly.

[Kiint]

Great mod, thanks.

Up on the product description, under installation, it says $cybchatbox
scroll up and you'll see it there :)

[Kiint]

3. [Optional] Template "adv_portal" - add "$cybchatbox" to line where you want ChatBox to appear (for example below "$navbar") > Save

This optional step creates a duplicate of the chatbox on the vba_cms screen, one which works, one which continually loads, is there a way to get only the $cybchatbox chatbox to appear on this page in the position we have specified in the adv_portal template?

[CorneliusW]

I get the following error when importing xml file to install chat.

A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were:

[Blackheart_72]

Did anyone ever find a fix for the chatbox when using the Advanced BB code permissions mod.

[nNJ]

Is this safe to use alongside another chatbox?

I wanted to have two chatboxes; 1 for members and 1 for staff.

I already have inferno shoutbox lite installed, displaying on the index so members can use it. But, if its possible and safe, I'd like to install cyb's chatbox aswell.

After that, I'd just throw this on the forum display template:

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(x,y,z))">

$cybchatbox

</if>
So it only displays in private (staff only) forums =)

But, is this safe to use with inferno shoutbox, as long as they are displayed on different pages?
I noticed both chatboxes had database changes, I don't know if they will conflict or not.

[iyama]

Instal and UN installed. After refresh the index page the chatbox is gone.

This is one great hack, congratulations.
I'd just like to second some previous comments that mentioned that the only thing this hack is lacking IMHO is a reporting feature.

Remove colors which are the same as backgrounds in styles?

That wont work.. The problem is that even if you remove all the color options, the drop down menu is still there and the only color shown in it is the default text color for the skin you're currently using. So, if the member is using a white skin and they use the color drop down menu selecting the first and only text color for that skin which is black, then the other members who use the dark skin can not read their posts in the chat box because the text is black.

Please see the bug report linked below for more details with screen shots. I think the best option in a future release would be the ability to disable the color drop down menu all together in the admin panel for those who don't want to use it.

Thanks for your consideration with this issue. ;)

[Gio Takahashi]

So some people were asking about how users could disable their chatbox based on user option. It's really simple, this is how I did it:



<if condition="($vbulletin->userinfo['fieldXX'] == 'YYY')">$cybchatbox</if>

Where XX is your profile field, and YYY is the answer to your profile field. (you should make it Radio selection, with Yes and no.)

Personally, I would allow chatbox to be activated (appear) by default.

then you stick it in into whichever pages you want it to appear. (IE if you want it on forumhome, place below $navbar on FORUMHOME.

I prefer to put it on every pages, so I placed that code at the extreme bottom of Navbar template.

Finally, go to Cyb chatbox option in "Position on page" Make sure it is set to disabled, and Make sure "Show chatbox on" is blank.

Question:
i have massive visitors on misc.php?do=ccarc (over 200 user) ...but the archive is empty
Thats bizzare - any ideeas? Is this a security problem?

How i can deactivate the arhive for all users?
...just admin and mods must be seen this.

Sorry for my english :(

Regards

[padfoot007]

damn finally a chatbox which works...

[Trek]

It looks like anyone can view the chatbox archive by going to domain.com/misc.php?do=ccarc

I noticed this as there are a lot of bots hitting the page. So I logged out of my account and directly went to the URL and it shows anyone what's been said. How can I go about fixing this or otherwise removing the the archive view?

[RedPoint]

OK Trek
...but how can fix it or how can removing the arhive view for users?

I just installed this, it's great. I get redirected to the smiley index when i try to view the archive as a guest. Are you sure you cleared your cache etc?

A question though... Does this use the VBulletin censor feature?

[cjwinternet]

Also, I don't quite understand how to add this to other pages. I would like to place it on the default position on the 'New Posts' page .

[paulbhoy]

so is there any fix that will make this work with the advanced bb code permissions

[Jamieinnh]

Good evening and Thanks for such a Great Mod!!

I have installed it for our Charter members, but I would like another one installed for our Staff.

So a couple of questions.

1. Can this be installed twice for two different chat areas for different user groups? If so, what do I need to edit?

2. How can I install one below the forum home page (default) but ALSO have one below the Staff Forum area?

Thanks for any help with this and again thanks for a great mod!

Jamie

[hambil]

Nice work. It always amazes me as a fellow programmer how your mods always have only an xml file.

I just switched from MGC (which is also a wonderful product) but the reason I switched was in hopes that this would be a little lighter weight. My little shared host forum was starting to feel the heat of all the mods I like to install :)

I was not disappointed. Definitely lighter and loads faster. I will like keep MGC on my big dedicated server forum, but so far this seems like a sweet little box for my shared host needs. Thank you, great work :)

Thanks Cybernetec for the best chatbox available! My users are loving it, very popular.

One question: Does a chatbox with a large message archive add significant load to the server?

My chatbox has 103,436 already!! I want to prune all these, but don't want to if it is not necessary. What are the benefits of pruning the messages regularly?

Thanks in advance.

[benny92000]

Can someone explain how to add the chatbox to multiple pages?

[Valter]

Loki, You can leave all messages unless you have problems with the disk space :-)

It will not affect CB performance.

how do we get this to load on vbadvanced?

[ibeteck]

Is there a way to set the minimum post to minimum post per day?

ie:

Users with post count less than X can not view ChatBox - Set X [ ]

change it too:
Users with daily post count less than X can not view ChatBox - Set X [ ]

Can someone give me an idiots guide on how to add to other pages?

adding $cybchatbox does nothing.

Hope someone can answer my question.. the chatbox is showing up in my mobile template.. i cannot find a call for it anywhere.. is there a way to remove the chatbox from only my mobile template?

[cdnbacon]

ANYONE WITH THE LOADING ISSUE, YOU DID NOTHING WRONG.

It has to do with incorrect address pathing within the code.

My partner was able to get it working last night by making sure to prepend all address calls with ../forum/

[mystikmedia]

Apologies if this has been asked before. I read about the first 5 pages...

Is it possible to have a separate chat for different forums on the same site? That is, for example, if you have a games forum that has different forums for different games...can you have a separate chat on some of the forums?

[quarum]

So is there a "fix" to get this to work with vBAdvanced?

[Elbulus]

A fix for the Loading.... on Vbadvanced would be awesome :D

@cdnbacon , if they could post what they changed to fix that would be awesome, would get it working for us then ;)

[ViViD]

Hello ,
I have a request for adding a feature .
Is it possible to have advertisement sentences between the chat ? For example in front of 5 chat message we would be able to send a AD BOT message or SPONSORED LINK .
Also this idea can be repleted by a FORUM NEWS or FORUM STATISTICS function when a thread updates a message would show in the chat box calling "The thread X Updated".

Regards

[mystikmedia]

After x period of time without any message, how about if it plays a sound when there's a new message?
