VSa - ChatBox (AJAX)

[DAMINK]

The sentence works fine in my shoutbox. I have censorship enabled, but with no words censored (that's so I can censor some bad characters I read about somewhere: 160 173 u8205 u8204 u8237 u8238).

Thankyou mate. I guess it must be a localised problem for me.
I block those characters in the "Blank Character Stripper" area not in the "Censored Words"
area.
Could that be my problem all along i wonder.
Anyway thankyou for testing that sentence so now i know atleast its me and not the product.

try adding this to your additional.css

.textbox, textarea, select {
background-color: #1A1A1A;
border: 1px solid #5B5B5B;
color: #CCCCCC;
}
change #1A1A1A and #5B5B5B
to your color choice

Thank you!!

Is the refreshing of the chatbox in google chrome browser a known problem? Anyone know how this can be solved?I haven't noticed any problem with Chrome. But then I'm on a shared server so I have mine configured as a Shoutbox.

can you explain in better detail how to install this on vb 4.1.11? I am new to vbulletin and all this is alien to me. I dont really understand the install instructions.

But really, this isn't a "beginner" mod. I would advise you to hang around for a year or so and eventually try a few easier mods. By then you might understand what's involved with a server-intensive mod like a chatbox.

Hello, together, first of all I would like to apologise for my very bad one in English! I am a German. ;)

It is my problem I in one of my 2 styles the date and the time cannot see (white writing on white background)

I have also tried to read here I do not do 152 sides, however, by my bad linguistic knowledge.

THANKS for your help

[Selter]

Hi all,

Thank you for sharing this nice mod.

Unfortunately I'm struggeling with the installation :(

I would be very grateful if someone could help me ...

I don't know where to find the options for the points below:
To add to desired template (example FORUMHOME):
1. Add 'index' to THIS_SCRIPT locations (Product options)
2. Add 'FORUMHOME' to template names (Product options)
3. Open 'FORUMHOME' template and put "{vb:raw vsachatbox}" to desired line (for example after '<!-- /main -->') -> Save

Thanks,

all you need to do it remove
in go to VSA chat options
and leave these 2 ields blank

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



Show ChatBox in templates (comma separated template names)

will show in thread tho

other wise you will have to do it like
FF|Skyrider

[tommyxv]

I only run this as a full chat through the /misc.php?do=cchatbox link. I want to show users that do not have access to the chat box the standard vb no permissions page instead of the smilies page. LOL

Is there a way to do this?

[tommyxv]

Never mind, I created a custom vb page and added the chatbox to it with usergroup permissions. Working fine.

Now my question is how can I show the chatbox full on my custom page?

And disable it from /misc.php?do=cchatbox

Did you uninstall and re-install it ?
that would be the first thing I would do..

[upperme]

Maybe someone can shed some light on this one...

I have been running this chat mod on my vBulletin 4.1.11 site for a year, and suddenly my host suspends my hosting account with no warning whatsoever. They just suspended my account and then called to tell me that the chatbox on my site was bringing the server to its knees. The ONLY thing I can think of at all was the fact that I recently upgraded to vBulletin 4.1.11. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what was causing the resources issue? The only thing the could tell me with any certainty was it was something to do with refreshing. I have 211 members, 76 active, about 25 chatters and about a dozen that chat all the time. Nothing has changed that I know of, other than the version of VB 4.

Thanks,

Jim

the only other thing I can think of if your host has
I think it's called mod_security or something turned on in php
might cause this

it also affects the sidebar widget if you use it ..
if thats ok.. I am stumpted...

all templates are stock not edited ..?
is this a first time install .. ?
if not maybe you have a edited template and was never reverted ...?
I am just tossing things in the air..

if you would like me to come by and peek.. send me details via pm
i've installed this mod on a couple dozen sites I service..
and never seen this


* did you try and see permissions ?

[Videx]

I have been running this chat mod on my vBulletin 4.1.11 site for a year, and suddenly my host suspends my hosting account with no warning whatsoever. If you're on shared hosting then there has been ample warning that any chatbox hosted on your own site will at some point become too much of a load. You may get away with it for a while, but eventually someone may take notice.

You either need to opt for a hosted chatbox, or get a better server (VPS/dedicated), or configure as a shoutbox (logging people out quickly). On our shared site we've opted to go the shoutbox route.

Hi,

Can someone point me to where i can stop images from spreading outside the limits.

People are using img tags and not resizing the images.

[Videx]

Can someone point me to where i can stop images from spreading outside the limits. People are using img tags and not resizing the images.It's in Settings>Options>vsa chatbox>"Banned BB Tags (comma separated, example: img, code)" - make sure you didn't remove img from that list. There is no easy way to resize images on the fly so your only real choice is to disallow them.

[I.G.O.T.A.]

Anyone know how to change the color of the stats? I can't see them as they are a light grey color. Thanks everyone for the help.

[Indietas]

Thanks Videx but that is not an option.

Thought i may be able to control the page width of chat box as it breaks out past the forum.

[Videx]

Thanks Videx but that is not an option.

Thought i may be able to control the page width of chat box as it breaks out past the forum.If you read back a ways you may get other ideas. People have successfully put the box on separate pages and I dunno, maybe in iframes.

Not a bad idea for a

Feature Request: On-the-fly resizing of imgs to max x,y


That would have to be a heavy server load and I fear what would happen when people try to implement it on shared servers. Probably just mostly time out and not work.

[Tubbietoeter]

Hi,

I hope you can help.
I see the Chatbox, but when I write something in it and press "enter" I am forwarded to a message complaining about a "missing security token".

where is that coming from?!

[Tubbietoeter]

this is weird, the chatbox works if I open "ChatBox full", but if I use the lean ChatBox I get that Security Token message?!

[Tubbietoeter]

aaah sorry for spamming, it all resolved when removing an additional extra entry in FORUMHOME ... lol

We have this installed and it works great - thank you very much!
One thing I can't get to work, however, is with Styles Replacement Variables. We use this to censor curse words/phrases, and while it does work within the core of the site, I cannot get it to function within the Chatbox.

Anyone have any idea on how I might resolve this?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time.

edit: it looks like the chatbox archive appears to work fine, however, and all replacements are parsed correctly there. Just not in the active chatbox. Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Valter for some reason I can not get it to work with Chrome or IE, am I doing something wrong, a setting?

Disregard Valter, I had it set where no one with under 50 posts could see it and that person doesnt have 50 posts and was on IE and Chrome.

[postcd]

Just an advice. If you have installed VSA ChatBox and as a guest (nonregistered user) you can see your website loaded into chatbox (website into chatbox) by error, it means you have wrong group permissions set in chatbox configuration page under vbulletin Settings. I had ID 8 grou both forbidden and allowed and this caused the problem.

[Bluefin221]

I have stumbled upon an issue, I have a lot of usergroups based on the fact I run a gaming forum dedicated to football, each team has its own dressing room (private) to access these private dressing rooms members have to be in an additional usergroup this appears to override the main usergroup.

For example, I'm the site administrator, but I also run a team, so I have a private dressing room, I need to give myself additional user status but it is conflicting, it is happening with others who have additional usergroup status, but because many folk have addition usergroup status to access dressing rooms for example I cannot take away that additional usergroup.

So I guess what am I supposed to do?

[BadgerDog]

Slowed down our home page loading by a factor of 2? :D

[Videx]

Slowed down our home page loading by a factor of 2?Is that all? I dunno, I suppose even a hosted chatbox would slow the page down somewhat (though eliminating server load). I can't think of a better place to put it if you want people to see it.

But I'll repeat the standard chatbox warning: If you're on shared hosting or server loads are an issue, you really need to at the very least configure it as a shoutbox - logging people out quickly so they don't hang around.

Thanks.... being computer illiterate most of the time, I'm not sure what a ShoutBox is or how to configure ChatBox that way ... :D

In any event, I put it under the Navbar in out off-topic forum, so it's only displayed when members go in there. We'll try it for a while and see how it goes.

Some members are already asking if there's any kind of optional user setting for an alert system that would tell them if new messages have been posted to the ChatBox?

Thanks again for your work... :)

[Videx]

Some members are already asking if there's any kind of optional user setting for an alert system that would tell them if new messages have been posted to the ChatBox?An oft-requested feature, but apparently not one that's easy to implement. But someone did figure it out and the instructions are buried in this thread somewhere but I'll warn you the procedure is not for the feint of heart. And it's not for shared servers or anyone else worried about server load.

Hello, when i open forum in Firefox, in chatbox window is loaded again my whole website. When i refresh page, its fixed. Other browsers ok. Where is the bug please?

[moswell]

Just installed this mod - I really like it. There are a couple things I'd love to see - without my reading through 100+ pages - could you advise on the following:

1. Is it possible to have the text color change when a user name is typed in full (kind of like /me except to acknowledge someone else)?

2. Can you limit to a specific smilie category? Our board has a bunch of basic ones, but then a lot of animated gifs that we'd rather not see in the chat window.

3. What does "align messages to the usernames" mean, exactly? :)

Lastly - I too would love a (easy) way to do sound notifications (like when someone's user name is typed). Thanks!

thanks again for this great mod. Could you be so kind to give me a hint which style variable is used for the background of the the chat window itself. After installing the latest version the color changed in my installation.

I don't get it, I simply write in the name of a color and that color will appear in the drop down when I click on it ? Do I just make up color names or are there a list of colors somewhere ?

I don't get it, I simply write in the name of a color and that color will appear in the drop down when I click on it ? Do I just make up color names or are there a list of colors somewhere ?Try a web search for "web colors". That will lead you to a page with the names such as http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp. And yes, you should be able to just type in the names.

[spillage]

A questions that doesn't seem to be touched on in the description;
Does (should) the Ignore Member list work in the Chat?

OK, testing shows that the Chat does not abide by the member Ignore list.

Any chance of adding this to the development list for future release?

And, any thoughts on an interim tweak to achieve this goal?

Thanks in advance!

[Videx]

I'm no expert but implementing ignores sounds really server-intensive. Each line has to be checked against a list before it's displayed in any view? And again every time the chat is updated? I suppose some sort of master index could be kept, but that sounds like a programming nightmare.

Hi,

Can anyone help me add user avatars in line with their chat please ?

Thanks in advanced for any assistance

[DAMINK]

As this is simply the best shoutbox available for VB IMHO.
I just cant find myself using any of the other ones.
However is there any possibility of allowing for another room or a private area within this shoutbox? That for me would be the icing on the cake honestly.
Would allow for staff or whatever to talk as well as the members.

[gpinjason]

anyone used this on 4.2.0 yet?

How would we add a tab to 4.2 so that chat becomes active when visiting the chatbox full?

See D3 Keep - Chat (http://d3keep.com/chat/) for an example of what I mean.

[Termure]

how to make nicks as lightblue, background of chat black or dark colour (i know text)!

i want to see light colours nicks when msg on a black or dark colour background

[Chadi]

Can the following be done?

Customize skin 100%
Move message input field/submit button below text message box
remove folder icon per line
change username text color and general message color
use vbulletin's word/censor filter
put right side column of active users in chat

Sorry for so many questions, need the perfect solution.

PS: DO NOT USE realchat.com (their support is dead, unhelpful and doesn't work with vb4 at all).

[Videx]

Can the following be done?Probably. By someone that knows this type of programming. However, Valter has not marked this as Reusable Code, so any such modifications would have to remain personal and wouldn't be distributed.

This mod serves his needs as it is, and he's always busy so don't expect to see a lot of custom features added to it any time soon.

Can I change the default text color? I deleted incompatible colors from the options, but the default text color is the same as the background. I've poked around, but not found anywhere to change it. Thanks!

[cdj]

Is it possible to open/close chat sessions and archive each individually? In theory, it'd be similar to CoverItLive where individual liveblog/chat sessions are archived for someone to read later.

I assume the only alternative would be to enable/disable the function in between sessions and just copy/paste the results into a forum thread.

Based on reading the mod description and browsing through previous posts, I assume it's not currently possible but thought I would ask anyway.

[voktonia]

How do you display the full Chatbox on a customer page?

[ohadpartuck]

hi ,
great add on.
can I insert images when I post a msg?

[ohadpartuck]

and also,
I have noticed if you leave the chat window open too long,
then you can't type in the chat and you have to refresh the page?
is that problem familiar?
does it have a solution?

[Valter]

For images, surround link with IMG tags.

When you are not active in the ChatBox you are logged out from it to save server resources. There is a note about this in status field.

To login/logut from the ChatBox click on online status icon in ChatBox.
To change inactivity logout settings for ChatBox go to product options.

[ohadpartuck]

is there a special btn to automatiically add those tags? (for my lazy users..)

[Termure]

any answers to my question ? :)

[Valter]

Termure, edit stylevar editor_background.backgroundColor.
Change bg color to something brighter as you have dark forum style.

ohadpartuck, no as ChatBox is not image gallery. It may be frustrating to scroll message area to view the whole picture. It's only 100px in height and is used to post short messages. They can always add a link to the image or type tags manually if they really need to have their pictures displayed in the CB.

[Termure]

I uploaded those two icons but I am still missing one. Does anyone have it? I don't even know the name of it.

UPDATE: I found it.... it was separator.gif. The problem was, it was already in the correct folder (images/editor) but wasnt showing for some reason. Anyway, I deleted the file from the folder and then reloaded a different one I got from another forum and the problem is solved.

[Valter]

i tried this before, but when i remove the 11px, its not in the list anymore but the font is still 11px.
Because it's stored in cookies.

I was requested ad space on my forum in which I sold the space below the navbar which is prime space due to the chatbox being their but when I added the banner through the admin control panel it conflicts with the chatbox. Anytime someone clicks on the chatbox to enter a comment, it redirects them to the location of the banner.

1? Problem - The install pack dont have icons so i resolved with this help:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2323199&postcount=2339

2? Problem/Bug - The chatbox Moderators can view IPs
If i choose to not show IPs to Mods in options vbulletin to prevent the mods to check IPs, this Add-on dont have any limitation to this and show the users IPs in:
vsa_chatbox_dropdown
vsa_chatbox_archive_bit

To resolve go to style manager and remove this code from: vsa_chatbox_archive_bit and vsa_chatbox_archive_bit
<vb:if condition="$vsacb_msg_arc[userip]">
<li>
<a href="online.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=resolveip&amp;ipaddress={vb:raw vsacb_msg_arc.userip}">IP: {vb:raw vsacb_msg_arc.userip}</a>

I hope in future you add an option to remove the options to checks IPs from users.

The concept sounds silly to me. Even if you could resize the video window on the fly so it fit in the chat box, wouldn't a few comments push it out?

I just did a new installation of 4.2 and a lot of the files in /images/editor have either been moved or are missing, I have downloaded again from the member's area and the files still aren't there. I'm not sure if this is intended or not. But if you get the images from an older version, pre 4.2 the images are there so just upload them into the editor folder and the 2 missing images will work.

Ive had to change the additional.css now, background : black and colour : white.

We can hardly see what test is going in when posting, is there another way to change the background colour on text input as its back to white text in a white box.

I just installed the chatbox on my forums....when I went to access my forums after installation, the forums would not work. I disabled the mod in the admincp and the forums were back. Why is this happening?

Why is this happening?That's really not much to go on. Assuming you don't just want us to take wild guesses, can we at least get an error message?

Once you have a specific error message, try the "search this mod" in the upper right and see if others have had the issue and solved it.

[Boylen33]

That's just it, there is no specific error message. When I enable chatbox in my admincp and then go to my forums URL, I get this:

"Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.livegroupbreaks.net/vb/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request."

When I go back into admincp and disable the chatbox, then go back to my forums URL, the forums are back working again. Sorry I can't give you more info, but that's all there is to it that I know at this point.

[Boylen33]

I give up! There is no support for this mod, and I'm tired of scrolling through page after page to find a solution. The mod is installed correctly and does not work. I install it and enable it and it causes my forums to crash.

[Videx]

Calm down. Obviously the mod works just fine or there wouldn't be 2401 installs.

From that error, I'm going to guess you might be on a shared server? If so, you need to contact your host. It's not uncommon for them to set security so high that some of your scripts can't run. But once you notify them they can set exceptions.

If you are managing this server on your own (dedicated or VPS) then you may need to ask over in the server config forum.

I'm trying to change the text input box color from white to black. I searched and can't seem to figure it out. Anyone got any ideas what is the easiest way to do that?

[I.G.O.T.A.]

Any one?

[Ozymandyus]

Any one?

You only have to do a quick search of the thread to find this answered many times. Last one was only a few pages back....

[I.G.O.T.A.]

Thanks, I will look.

[I.G.O.T.A.]

I did, but I'm not understanding it. Can you shed some light on it for me? I have two themes and need to switch the color on one of them.

In the control panel:

Style Variables > Forms > input_background

Just keep in mind that this changes all input boxes, not just the one in the chatbox.

The remove text formatting image and the smilies image are not showing up for me, anyone know how to fix this? Im running 4.2

[Delinquenz]

Hello,
first I want to thank you for this nice AddOn.

I changed the skin and all works nice, but I have a problem..

When I set in the setting "Logged-out by default" to NO, me and some other users are logged out by default and some other users aren't. When I set it to YES, me and some other users are logged in by default and some other users aren't. Can someone help me?

BTW: My Chatbox: http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/5bggqv8v/Unbenannt.png

[I.G.O.T.A.]

Just keep in mind that this changes all input boxes, not just the one in the chatbox.

Is there anyway not to change that? I mean just change the input text window and not the background input.

[Delinquenz]

Or just tell me how I can deactivate/disable Login. I don't need this feature.

[bocah.maho]

help, how to fix this post align

[Dr Aj642]

Love this add-on! Just installed it. Very happy.

[Delinquenz]

I want to ask my question again: how can I disable the login?

[Videx]

I want to ask my question again: how can I disable the login?The author does offer occasional support, but yours is more of a mod to a mod question so you may not want to hold your breath.

You may have better luck figuring out what's causing the original problem. That could be a technical issue on the server, but if different clients respond differently it could also be a client issue. Try a different browser, clear cache, check security apps, etc.

I'm on a shared server so I'm configured as a shoutbox, logging people out fairly quickly before they load us down.

But I even can't find the problem, why some users are logged in by default and some not when I activate/deactivate the setting "logged out by default". I need a solution. My forum is still small and I minimized all server load and optimized my vbulletin. I don' t think the chatbox will kill my server.

This chatbox is really better as the MCG one, because it takes so much server load (that's at least what I'm thinking) The only point I want to change is the login system. Else I like this minimized chatbox. But the chatbox login is for me useless. If my server load is too high, i will rent a new, better server - this is no problem. Would be awesome if anyone has a solution.. at least for my problem.. :(

PS: Sorry for bad English, my English isn't really good.

€: My Coding skills aren't even "sooo bad" .. My Forum (http://enragers.com)... I changed the template of the chatbox. And it doesn't even is just me, with the problem.. I think much users have this problem.

[Valter]

Just set it to some high value, like 1000 minutes?

[Delinquenz]

I did.

Oh, lol.. I failed hard. THANK YOU!!!!!! ... I entered 99999 Minutes and I think it was too much... 1440 works fine.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[Valter]

You're welcome :-)

Is there a way to not publicly show a list of those who are banned from the Chat Box?

[TheInsaneManiac]

im missing images/editor/removeformat.png and images/editor/smilie.png. I looked in the vBulletin zip and they arent included in there either?

[paulket]

These are the images that you need to upload to your image> editor folder, just rename the smile png to "smilie".

[Boylen33]

The majority of my smilies are missing. Only about two smilies are showing up. Any suggestions?

[northvanmike]

does anybody know how much more server load you get when you enable it on all pages, a rough percentage? i see in the settings it says not recommended because of this potential issue, but what am i looking at? i'm not sure if this is relevant, but only a few of us are permitted to use it(admin,mods)

[Videx]

Load certainly depends on how many people are in it and refreshing it, not on how many pages it's on. Though you could make the argument that with it on more pages, people are in it against their will even if they're doing something else. In these days of tabbed browsing, what would be the point?

No, nobody has ever done any testing to see exactly how much load 1 person causes - probably because such a test would be almost impossible.

[Pure Dope]

users are saying the chatbox link takes them to a smiley list...

why dont you just have a option for usergroups you want to make this available too?

that would b better IMO.

[I.G.O.T.A.]

OK I have an issue. The smile box and remove text formatting are showing up blank. There should be something in them boxes. Confused now.
