[Shout/Chatbox 0.7.06] GCBOS - Generic Chat Box Operating System

[Videx]

maybe waiting for someone to go onto the chatboxThing is, this is a shoutbox, not a chatroom. A lot of us are on shared servers and we can't handle resource intensive chatrooms that allow people to refresh constantly while waiting for new chats. A real drag on the system.

If you're on your own dedicated server, why not add a regular chatroom mod?

[J105C]

Is there any way to disable the 'typewriter' effect? I'm trying to make the shouts just appear all at once. Is this possible?

[cloferba]

when give infractions to a member
following error
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare gcbos_command_impersonate() (previously declared in /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/class_gcbos.php(49) : eval()'d code:22) in /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/class_gcbos.php(49) : eval()'d code on line 35

getting same error message, while trying to give warning to users through normal thread

Same Question.

same here :up:

[teat]

All I see when I but the <!-- {SHOUTBOX} --> code on my forum is {SHOUTBOX} it does not show the box or anything.

[Skyrider]

BUG REPORT:

UNMUTE IS BUGGED:


/unmute The Deco:
#9:57 pm GCBOS> The user FF|Skyrider has been muted by FF|Skyrider.

When I did:
/unmute FF|Skyrider

I got:

#9:57 pm GCBOS> The user FF|Skyrider has been muted by FF|Skyrider.

AGAIN..

When I did it again, I got:
#9:57 pm GCBOS> The user FF|Skyrider has been unmuted by FF|Skyrider.

Tried to Unmute someone again, once again It muted me.

I think the "anti-spam" has something to do with it!! Make it so it won't have any effect on admins/mods please

[gothicuser]

Could you please let us know how to

a: Reverse chat display, display newest at the top.

b: kill the typing effect.

It seems a few of us would like this.

Update: speeded up typing speed, easy :D would just like to get the newest shout at the top (display top to bottom)

[pitt34]

Shoutbox doesn't show Polish diacritic signs.

Could someone write how to change GCBOS encoding to UTF-8, or any other way to make Polish sings showed properly?

Okay so I installed this, but it will only work with my default style. If I choose a different style it will no longer show up. An idea how to fix this.

Edit each usergroup you have specified a color for. Change it to use SINGLE quotes intead of DOUBLE quotes. Such as:

<font color='PURPLE'>

Is there going to be an option for people to choose their own font and color?

Also, is there an archive option?

[jimbos'ss]

tried putting the code in the template, but it never shows up

same problem i'm having

[hridayath]

Even after following installation instructions perfectly I can not get the chat box to display on my Forum Home: I've included <!-- {SHOUTBOX} --> in my forumhome template but still no luck? Anyone please help me. I am losing members without the shoutbox.

You have likely done this, but I forgot so I'll suggest it.

You have to go to each usergroup and turn on each option before it will show up.

[rmadeat]

very good!

[hridayath]

Yeah I did this on each user group still no luck.

[hridayath]

The instructions are so vague that most of the users of this shoutbox seem to figure out the solution themselves for most of the problems. looking at the writeup for this mod I thought it would be MOD of the year but the work around for all the problems made me change my mind regarding this being the best Mod on VB 4.

Atleast now can someone help me displaying it on my Forum?

[Aclikyano]

cant wait for a different shoutbox, this one is like no-frills imo
but nice for now i guess :)

[ComoEstaEso-com]

I just installed it and everything went smoothly.

hridayath,
I'm no expert... yet let's see.
What are you having problems with?
1- upload contents of 'upload' folder to your forum
2- install new product with the attached .xml file
3- To add the "<!-- {SHOUTBOX} -->" do it like this:

Admin CP >> Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >> drop-down menu "Edit Templates"
Then, scroll down on the list until you see Forum Home Templates, then double-click on it.
Below that, a template called "FORUMHOME" will appear.
Click on that, then click on the "Customize" button on the right (or on the "Edit" button).

Then, here was my edit (there might be a better way to do it... this is what I did and it works)
{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>
<body>

{vb:raw header}

{vb:raw navbar}
<!-- {SHOUTBOX} -->

<div id="pagetitle">

Hope that helps!

[revmitchell]

Is there anyway to add smilies to it?

[ComoEstaEso-com]

Question:
In what template should I add:
<!-- {SHOUTBOX} -->

So the shoutbox shows in the CMS home?
At the moment, it displays perfectly in the Forum home.

Suggestions?

Thanks for the help and hard work!! :)

At the moment, it displays perfectly in the Forum home.This would likely be a permissions issue. Remember you have to manually set everything in vb4. To get it at the top you just want to use the Advertising Manager. AdminCP>Advertising>Add New Ad . It will show at the top of all 3 products - the CMS, Blog, and Forum.

What code should I drop in the "Ad HTML" box?

Please excuse my n00bness....
Help much appreciated! :)

[Videx]

Oh dear. No, I'm the one that must beg forgiveness. I think. Actually, I was thinking of a different mod where I slipped the call into an ad block. But really, I don't suppose you couldn't call the shoutbox that way. I don't know. For mine, I just followed the instructions and inserted the call below the navbar line.

Anyway im working on the next build of GCBOS 0.7 RC3 at the minute i should have a few new fixes in store (infraction error) etc.

[ComoEstaEso-com]

For mine, I just followed the instructions and inserted the call below the navbar line.
Thanks for the reply Videx! :)

I placed it below {vb:raw navbar}, yet it still only shows in the forums.
What template should I edit in order to have the shoutbox displayed everywhere on the site?

Here's what I have at the moment (partial copy/paste, with the pertinent info)
</head>
<body>

{vb:raw header}

{vb:raw navbar}
<!-- {SHOUTBOX} -->

<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
<p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
</div>


==========

My other query, if somebody could please shed some light:
Unregistered / Not Logged In users are not able to see any of the messages.
The shoutbox displays in the window, yet it contains no messages.

I went to the Unregistered / Not Logged In group, and set the permissions to:
GCBOS Permissions
Can View GCBOS
YES
Can Talk in GCBOS
YES


Any ideas?

THANKS!

[teat]

I tried all that, but I cannot get the box to appear. I have admins to yes you can see it, but I cannot see the thing.

[Videx]

What template should I edit in order to have the shoutbox displayed everywhere on the site?I don't know, but I wouldn't do that myself since I'm on a shared server. Remember, especially until this box gets an idle timeout feature, that members using it a lot and just hanging out and watching it will use a lot of server resources. People on shared servers could find themselves suspended.

[Trek]

I dropped it in FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY to minimize load.

If you want it on every page, drop it at the very bottom of the NAVBAR template.

[MyChemicalSelf]

Just sent rc3 to some testers :) fixed the infraction error added notifications for new post and /me and /pm loophole for muted users.

Sounds good, what about a timeout so it stops polling after X minutes? This would help a lot.

[teat]

Okay, I have done everything everyone has done and I do not understand why my chatbox is not showing up. I have put the code in, I have done the usergroup thing I uploaded everything from the upload folder and I installed the plug in. Can someone explain? The forum is www.forthewindian.net If anyone can see why.

I think this indicates you made the edit, but didn't install the product. Try it again, allowing overwrite. Also try disabling all your other mods to see if one is interfering.

That did not work.

3. changed usergroup permissions
4. shoubox is in the source code on the page but not visible

any ideas?

@ xDazedx:
Did you upload all the files?

Then did you import the product with the .xml file?

Did you give permissions to your Admins and Registered users to view the ShoutBox?

You have to edit the User Group... at the bottom, you will find the GCBOS permissions.

[RS_Jelle]

Thanks for this great mod :)

Some suggestions:
1. A setting to control the default height of the chat box.
2. An archive page to view the older shouts.

Some small fixes:

1. Remove from gcbos.php:
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
This is deprecated. vBulletin isn't using this any more.

2. Replace the cache_templates plugin code with:
$cache[] = 'GCBOS';
When caching only one or two templates, this is faster than array_merge().

3. Replace
<script src="clientscript/gcbos.js"></script>
with
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/gcbos.js"></script>
to make it XHTML valid.

4. In the GCBOS template replace
<img src="images/buttons/collapse_40b.png" alt="" title="Collapse this Category">
with
<img src="images/buttons/collapse_40b.png" alt="" title="{vb:rawphrase collapse_this_category}" />
to make it XHTML valid and to phrase it (it's a global phrase, so it works for sure).

5. In the GCBOS template replace
<input type="text" id="gcbos_input" style="width: 92%; height: 19px; margin: 1px;float:left;" autocomplete="off" />
with
<input type="text" id="gcbos_input" style="width: 92%; height: 19px; margin: 1px;float:left;" />
to make it XHTML valid. Autocomplete isn't a valid XHTML attribute. I don't think it's required for the AJAX to function in this case?

6. Hide the notice by default
<div class="forumrowdata">
<p class="subforumdescription" id="gcbos_notice" style="display:none"></p>
</div>
and then use style.display = 'block' in the JavaScript to show it when there actually is a notice. This avoids an empty bar.

[Gamempire]

is it possibile to put this chatbox in the sidebar?
i try but it doesn't look like very well (i think the css should be checked)

is there someone that put the chatbox on the sidebar with success?

How could there possibly be enough room on the side? Especially once you put other things there too.

[MURDOCthePSYCHO]

2. Replace the cache_templates plugin code with:
$cache[] = 'GCBOS';
When caching only one or two templates, this is faster than array_merge().

3. Replace
<script src="clientscript/gcbos.js"></script>
with
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/gcbos.js"></script>
to make it XHTML valid.

4. In the GCBOS template replace
<img src="images/buttons/collapse_40b.png" alt="" title="Collapse this Category">
with
<img src="images/buttons/collapse_40b.png" alt="" title="{vb:rawphrase collapse_this_category}" />
to make it XHTML valid and to phrase it (it's a global phrase, so it works for sure).

5. In the GCBOS template replace
<input type="text" id="gcbos_input" style="width: 92%; height: 19px; margin: 1px;float:left;" autocomplete="off" />
with
<input type="text" id="gcbos_input" style="width: 92%; height: 19px; margin: 1px;float:left;" />
to make it XHTML valid. Autocomplete isn't a valid XHTML attribute. I don't think it's required for the AJAX to function in this case?

6. Hide the notice by default
<div class="forumrowdata">
<p class="subforumdescription" id="gcbos_notice" style="display:none"></p>
</div>
and then use style.display = 'block' in the JavaScript to show it when there actually is a notice. This avoids an empty bar.

Thanks i shall add these changes to RC4

[KHALIK]

Unregistered / Not Logged In users are not able to see any of the messages.
The shoutbox displays in the window, yet it contains no messages.

I went to the Unregistered / Not Logged In group, and set the permissions to:
GCBOS Permissions
Can View GCBOS
YES
Can Talk in GCBOS
YES


Any solutions or ideas to fix this problem.

[Matais]

Are options to remove the typewriter effect, and what order new shouts are displayed in, being added?

[xDazedx]

Matais - I think you are wanting what I was looking for. Newest posts at the top vs the bottom and all texts displayed and not reloaded on a page refresh.

What I would like to also see on this is a slight color change between rows and then maybe at the top, menu buttons for image, links, smilies etc. for people who do not know bbcode off the top of their head.

Great mod!

Typewriter is disabled in 0.6.9(?)+ via forcing the instant tags :) and i may add ordering in a later release o, more concerned with fixing outstanding issues and implementing crucial ones that have been left aside at the moment.

RC5 is underway witht he above changes made (read a few posts up) im still having issues with hiding the notice section via js (refreshing the page for some reason) and it frankly looks ugly without it there :) im currently downgrading my test server to PHP5.2.12 to test on since 5.3 is pure evil 8- )

How odd GCBOS doesnt touch anything like that...
Update: Tested on localhost works fine for me if the text editor is showing the raw tags just highlight them to worked for me.

Just one last thing to fix in RC5 (i hate javascript) and i shall release it if any one can help with it (show the notice container only on certain events please pm me).

Update:
Im currently working on a surprise feature, which might push back RC5 for a day or so. I have the html etc done its just the backend that needs doing now!

Anyway to get some type of "Time out" system in place? Or maybe as just an option I can turn on?

People sit in my shout box all night and they show up as on the forums for the entire time.. On vb3x I had a chat box that would time out after a set time and would blank out the box and advise the users they need to refresh the box (via a small button on the chat box) to continue to see chat's. That's about the only thing I miss from my old system. I love the live update of the chat in real time that's really nice ;)

[charl13dontsurf]

Hey,

I am a bit of a noob to VB, just migrating from PHPBB. Installed this shoutbox and I really like it so far.

My question might be trivial, though I did use the search function prior to posting... so please.. no flaming haha.

Just want to know if there is a way to set the default size of the shoutbox? Or even to have it default to minimized? I see you can modify that once it is loaded, but I would prefer it to be slightly smaller to start unless the user wants to make it bigger.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Ok, didn't realize it put in a GCBOS template entry. Sorry for the post haha!

[charl13dontsurf]

I'm liking it...

Two things I've noticed:

- the inability for the 'Unregistered' user group to see text posted in the shoutbox (regardless of the permissions set on the group itself). So not sure if there is another permission somewhere overriding it when it goes to get the posted text...

- i'm using bbpixel (so not standard) and joomla - but if I log into an admin user with an expired password notice, that notice seems to draw inside the shoutbox before it is replaced with the shoutbox text..

[LordVader!]

I'm seeing a lot of this error in my php logs

Today I upgraded to php 5.2.12 and the chat no longer appears in the chat box. I see the "Loading.." but after that I just get a blank screen I'm on RC5 also.

When I go back to 5.2.11 everything works like normal.


The text i typed into the box when I was on 5.2.12 shows up in the window on 5.2.11 so its accepting the input but just not displaying anything on php 5.2.12.

[Skyrider]

Would it be possible to make the chatbox "active" when your screen is seeing the chatbox? To prevent usage if the person is just browsing the page itself, not looking at the chat box.

[Tinnie]

I dont know if this is concerning but I used this plug in on my website and a few days later my host blocked my whole site because there is a leak in GCBOS.php file please help me or tell me how to fix it .

[HoSStiA]

Instead of Cyrillic characters (UTF-8) in RC5 displayed characters from the Latin set. I had to return to the RC2. :(

[Videx]

I dont know if this is concerning but I used this plug in on my website and a few days later my host blocked my whole site because there is a leak in GCBOS.php file please help me or tell me how to fix it .This is why there has to be an idle timeout option. Once 20-30 people sit on the page and start using it as a chatroom, any shared server is in danger of being suspended.

Of course, I have no idea if that was your problem because you've given us zero details. I know there's nothing terribly wrong with this mod because the last few days during this huge blizzard my community has been hopping and I've been monitoring our shared server loads and they're fine with as many as 80 on (but not all sitting in the chatbox!).

[MarkJW]

Sort of. In Options deselect "Alert on new topic". However, PM alerts will still be shown.
Okay, thanks. It would be nice to have a seperate option, though. ;)

Thanks for everything so far! :)

[Tinnie]

After the host restored everything we got informed that we got DDOS Attacked all information of the Plug in was available in the chatbox which I had to disable it ...

Any clues ?

I'm really thankful for your guys work I don't have bad intentions but I just want to ask why this happen and if you guys have a solution for it thats all.

[Videx]

A ddos attack has nothing at all to do with this mod. Unless they're actually trying to say there's a vulnerability in the code and there was a ddos attack at the same time. More likely they just saw people trying to chat during the attack and it was generating normal errors.

On an overloaded shared server your users will hit the buttons over and over trying to get it to work; it's normal for lazy tech staff to read this as being your fault, but it isn't.

[Jim Co]

Everything appears OK but when I type in a shout and hit submit nothing shows up what you typed just disappears..using the newest one clean install.

Thank you, we will be looking forward to a more optimized instant loading of the messages. We are using the other chatbox mod for vb4 AsC or whatever it is called, no lag WHAT SO EVER, so it has to be something with the coding, or utilizing a lot of resources, or something!

Right i'm quite busy lately so 0.7.1x may just include a colour picker and other planned features coming in a later release (0.7.2x).

Hopefully i can finish the colour system some time tomorrow.

Edit:
Forgot to mention i think i have a fix for all PHP5.3 issues with references, variables are automatically passed as a reference in PHP5.3 and i think 5.2 this means i just need to adjust some functions and how the arguments are passed to them.

by editing a shout i got this format error:

Is there a way to split the chat/shout box so it will show Shouts on one side and Forum Posts/Threads on the other side? This way new threads and posts are drowned by an active shout box.

[Olli2k]

7.07 blowed up the UTF-8 Support.
In 7.06 everything worked fine.

I have to recall this post. For me it works now. i think it was caused by the update from 4.0.0 to 4.0.2. I originally installed the english version of vb4 but used the german update files. After the upgrade i followed this tutorial (http://www.vbulletin-germany.com/forum/showthread.php/45827-vBulletin-4-(Deutsch)-Installation-Aktualisierung?p=285966&viewfull=1#post285966) Upgrade from eng to de.

After this you have to upgrade the german "du" language files manually and i just forgot to import blog and cms language pack. I did that today and now it works.

Perhaps this hint could help anybody else.

[stevectaylor]

For all those with VBSEO and having problems with displaying, you need to set the 'clean up html code' setting to 'no'

database error, at the time of user registration

[vortodox]

For all those with VBSEO and having problems with displaying, you need to set the 'clean up html code' setting to 'no'
.

Could you tell me where is that option?
Tnx.

[MyChemicalSelf]

Anyone know how to allow guests to type in chat?
Currently this is not supported it is on my to do list.

never mind, but unistalled because not support of latin charsets and some bugs like no bold on nick names just showing <b>nick <b>
Use newer html such as <span style="text-weight: bold;"> </span>

For all those with VBSEO and having problems with displaying, you need to set the 'clean up html code' setting to 'no'
Never noticed this my site uses vBSEO
database error, at the time of user registration

Never happened before on mine or the demo forums (this does not touch anything related to registration).


Todo
-Recode JavaScript engine
-Implement API
-Work on restructuring the source and improving command handling(?)
-Work on a more fluid layout for the 'page' and forums version
-Finish work on colors.

[sKippah]

Works well. Still using GCBOS_0.7.06.zip and added it to the end off navbar to have the box everywhere.
Well some Bold, invert and Color could be added.... ;)) maybe later

[betts02]

Without reading through the many posts

Is there any extras you are adding to this ?

If possible i would like to see chat channels

So we can have a protected channel and a community channel

Cheers for the work and its all working fine

I like the idea of channels :) might work on it some time.

Erm its in the GCBOS template you would need to edit that. The max message size part might be interesting but that's where the color chooser is on my development boards D:

[sKippah]

So we have to wait for a newer version ;)

btw.. how can i get rid of things like ...posted, replied, etc, Threads, Post and so on. I just want to use the shoutbox as a shoutbox not an information box?! Thanks

There is a Problem between this and VB 4.0.3. It makes the Switch Editor button in the CMS not work.

Version 0.8.01 released please overwrite all files and import the new XML.

If a mod views this can they please update the title to:
[Shout/Chatbox] GCBOS - Generic Chat Box Operating System [vB4]

[Kingdombuilder]

Is there a possibility to have it blown up into a full page chat box and go back to the small chatbox on the forum display page, and tell who is in the chatbox room. I think that is the only thing missing with this awesome chatbox. Great work on this mod it is a great enhancement to my site.

I see you updated yesterday. Has the SEM button issue been corrected?

[Tetaytor]

I need to know how to change the name, I dont get what that guy said..

[MyChemicalSelf]

The update checks for pages that have the "id" of the switch mode button on and disables the chatbox. It was the best i can do until i redesign the template for GCBOS. Its fixed for me so in theory it will work elsewhere.

Languages and Phrases -> Search -> GCBOS -> GO

Edit the one called GCBOS to have what ever you want in it.

Well that may be another problem when GCBOS is used as a shout box widget on the main CMS page, which is where it is working but also killing my Switch Editor button. My GCBOS is also located on my Forum main so if I install this update it will work in neither place?


What I find off if you look at my site is that I have the GCBOS shout box on the main CSS where it is apparently killing my SEM button. I also have the chat on my Forum where it has not effected my SEM button.

Have a look at my site and you will wee what I mean.

In theory the new update should fix it, since when it detects the SEM it disables the chat. I will take a look at your site though and see what i can think off.

[betts02]

How can i make this chat box thinner ?

So its half the width it is already

cheers

[kfrosty]

2 questions.

Tried reading through as many of the 65 pages as I could but giving up.

Can you config this so different users text shows up as different colors?

Also, how can you clear the text in the chat box. Say a conversation is over and you want to remove everything?

[swiftor]

Hi GCBOS won't let me remove it.. I get the following error:

Can't DROP 'gcbos_color'; check that column/key exists
Error Number : 1091

[edfig]

So is there ANY way to rename the header at the top not to read "GCBOS" of this mod?

That name means nothing to people... I'd like it to read "Shout Box"

[RedTrinity]

Could someone please tell me how to stop/disable this product from showing up as a location on the who is online list?

The problem I'm having is that because I have it added to my forum header (so it appears on every page), it lists members almost constantly as viewing/using the shoutbox, instead of their true location ie. what section/thread they are viewing.

Thanks in advance :)

[jaffaman]

Actually this mod rocks but, unfortunately it uses iconv to convert from/to utf, and I don't have it in my server and I cant risk recompiling php via shell for it..
So the mod uninstalled now, and bye bye dardacheh.... فهو لا يدعم العربيّة

Admin - Languages & Phrases - Search in Phrases

In the search box enter - GCBOS and click find

It then shall list lots of info with the GCBOS

Find the 1 that ONLY says - GCBOS

Click EDIT

And change to whatever you want and save

For those of you who could not get it to Uninstall try this. It worked for me.

ACP>Plugins & Products> Manage Products

Find the Line for GCBOS Make sure the dropdown says "edit". Click GO.

Scroll down to where you see the install code and Uninstall code

Check both boxes to the Right under Delete to delete both these codes.

Click Save at the Bottom..

Now you need to remove the GCBOS templates. Since the product is gone these can now be removed

ACP>Styles and Templates>Search in templates search for GCBOS

highlight each template and click Revert, this removes them since the product is gone.

Go to ACP>Plugins & Products> Plug in manager and verity that the GCBOS plug ins are gone.

Now delete all the files you uploaded from the package onto your server.

Lastly search for <!-- {SHOUTBOX} --> in your templates and remove the lines you added.

This should have removed all of this POS product that does not uninstall through Normal means.

Hope this helps.

MyChemicalSelf you need to fix this product, so it can be uninstalled correctly.

On my site the shoutbox only loads one shout at a time.. it takes a couple seconds for all the shouts to load instead of them loading instantly.

[elwachiman]

gcbos update but I have problems with special characters such as words with accents etc. aside the ñ is not in the previous version was solved and now as my language is Spanish, it looks bad when chatting, as you can solve that problem
----------------------------------------------------
and the first problem was solved, reraised gcbos.php file and fix the problem with the ñ but the problem remained on the links of the issues and the user name that solution can be applied in this case, the problem is same letter ñ and accented words

[elwachiman]

hanks for your response I see is not important the question I asked greetings
que sera importante aqui??

[MyCTaK]

My chat can't display Cyrillic characters. If I change it in my database to Cyrillic it shows up, so I think the problem is that the chat force messages to be UTF8.
Can you tell me how to remove this forcing?

Best!

ok, let me explain myself a bit more, what I want to do is add a chatbox inside a forum in particular and not the whole forums.

For sample; is like adding a chat in the vbulletin 4.0 Modification section only and not in all forums. With that said I will like a chat in the portuguese forum in my forums. I think to get this done I have to add the Forum ID I want to have the chatbox add but how I do that?

Thanks mate for wanting to help

[Nibbles_1987]

is it possible to make it show the newest messages at top of chat box instead of bottom?

[McCarron]

I went ahead and removed the & in front of output in the class_gcbos file.

I still have to do this with the latest release, yet the version notes show that 0.6.10 fixed the "depreciated issues" Any chance of a solution to this going forward?

Also how do we set it to not have the text come out like a type-writer on a new install? This is really annoying and I wish to turn it off as it takes forever.

[Winter Sonata]

I guess it doesn't work with vb 406 ? Does it ?

[MichaelDance]

I really cant wait for the fonts, smiles etc to be added then i love this shoutbox so much ill always use it :) as of ill install but disable it as the shoutbox i have atm has them options but not commands.
