Just trying it again, but I'm having the same problem with not being able to write any message. (Both on my local test site, and the live Forum).
Odd !

Then all of a sudden it starts working !
The only difference is a change of colour - but I refuse to believe that's the answer.
Thanks again.......

Hi
I have a problem with this mod. Time is not displayed correctly. It is shown like this [d-m, H:i] with no numbers just the format with letters as I mentioned. How can I fix this?
Thank you

In Admins panel... Try this
Settings -> Options -> VSa - ChatBox, and in the options put,
"Date format (blank to disable)"-> %d-%m-%y or %d-%m (not show year)
"Time format"-> %H:%M

How do you make this show up on the CMS page?
I have it working great on the forums page and the activity stream but I can't seem to make it work on the content.php page.

Did you try this?
Settings: VSa - ChatBox ->
Show ChatBox on pages (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)
index,content
or blank to show to all pages.
probably you tried it :)

I wonder if the setting... "Show ChatBox in templates (comma separated template names)" could help me? Currently I have it set just to... "FORUMHOME". Is there a template I could put in there to make it show on the CMS?

Just discovered there's a particular User Group that can only view the Chat - not post . Anyone else experienced this - Nothing obvious can be gleaned from settings , either UserGroup or Chat .

The chat box has stopped working on my forum and is logged off. Nothing on the forum has been updated or changed, so I don't know what has happened. When I click on any of the options on the chatbox it takes me to a forbidden page.
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /misc.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
All help appreciated.

Anybody know why when loading the page for the first time, the chatbox starts in the middle instead of the very bottom? In 10 seconds after it autorefreshes it goes back to the bottom.

Translated with Google Translate (I can not speak English):
My problem is the following:
stands:
Turned message sequence in the chatbox (newest below) to NO, you can read the chat history. If it is YES, it will be updated every 5 seconds and you will be on the last post. Reading is thus not possible here.
What - or what file - can I change, so that it also works normally here?
Thank you and best regards:
Tammy

First line on the options page, add the php file name(s) you wish to show the chatbox.
Example:
index, forumdisplay, showthread, search

Hello to all
Accented characters in the chat such as "à" are written correctly both in chat and in the DB
Characters accented in the forums for example "a" are badly written in the forum and also in the DB
Is it possible where the chat reads the type of characters?
Thank you

That's not a very fair statement to make...just because you are having some issue with it doesn't make it a bad product overall. I have used this product from vB 4.2.0 all the way through the latest vB 4.2.5 with no issues. :)

Complete nonsense. Valter was among the very best vB4 coders and most of his mods, even those which are now 7 years old, still function perfectly well.
As an aside, if anyone knows what became of him I'd be curious.

Hi,
I've made the translation into Spanish (maybe will be useful for someone?) but I have some problems with vB 4.2.5 ...
I can't see the date & time of the messages and also I can't see the icon to select smilies ...
Thanks in advance :)
Edit: Solved the date & time issue, just setting &d-%m-%y and %H:%M ... Updated the xml Spanish translation. I will continue investigating the problem with smilies icon ....
Edit2: Everything is working fine now, just copying the removeformat.png & smilie.png to the server at /images/editor
Thanks again for thid grea mod. :)

As I remember text size is default from your forum, than who ever use chat selects from the drop down menu. I have just delete the size 11,12,13 so users have a choice from 14+ and as they stay logged in the choice size is memorized.

I did not get it that way, apparently I had a font size variability: {vb: raw vsacb_textsize}, whose variable I did not find it. Replace in the style editor by font size: 14px;
and resolved

to
<td style="font-size:$cybcb_textsize;color: #FFFFFF">
$cybcb_msg_box_parsed

Valter and Cybernetec are the same person, the same coder. So the code is probably the same. The modification I suggested to you works under version 3.8.x that I am using. Check the content of the template again.

Hi,
I read several demands about how to change the default font color when typing a message, and didn't find any answer or else.
Does anybody know how to change this ? We have a dark skin and the background of the entermessage is dark too, and when typing in black (which is the default font color)... nobody is able to read it.
The very first color available in the drop-down menu is AntiqueWhite, which is... almost white :D so the problem seems to be elsewhere.
Thank you for your answers ! :)
Hope I get the right code lines.
First short look into code shows - default color is value of style var "body_color" (to change in admincp / manage style vars) and only if unset it is the first color value in the available color list of the mod.
So if changing of option "Colors available in drop-down menu" shows no result change style var. And if that is not possible go to hook "VSa - ChatBox - IL" and edit the php code
Change
if (vB_Template_Runtime::fetchStyleVar('body_color'))
{
$vsacb_color_predef = "#808080"; //grey or use any other color code
$vsacb_color_body = VSacb_RGBtoHex($vsacb_color_predef).',';
}
else
{
$vsacb_color_acplist = explode(",",str_replace(" ","",$vbulletin->options['vsachatbox_textcolors']));
$vsacb_color_predef = $vsacb_color_acplist[0];
$vsacb_color_body = '';
}
Or replace the complete part with
$vsacb_color_acplist = explode(",",str_replace(" ","",$vbulletin->options['vsachatbox_textcolors']));
$vsacb_color_predef = $vsacb_color_acplist[0];
$vsacb_color_body = '';

Hi,
Since we recently activated the reverse display for the chatbox, we experimented the scroll bar problem that occurs when someone posts a message in the chatbox (which seems to be a good usage of the mod :D) or when the chatbox refreshes itself.
So I asked some help to a friend of mine (his nickname is Elzen, many thanks to him !!!) who has some JavaScript knowledges, and he found that solution :
1) load the vsa_chatbox template.
2) find these lines :
vsacb_MessagesDiv = fetch_object('vsacb_messagearea');
vsacb_MessagesDiv.innerHTML = '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="99%" align="{vb:stylevar left}">' + vsacb_Messages.handler.responseText + '</table>';
3) replace them with those five :
vsacb_MessagesDiv = fetch_object('vsacb_messagearea');
<vb:if condition="$vboptions[vsachatbox_reverse_messages]">
var cboxgap = vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollHeight-vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollTop;
</vb:if>
vsacb_MessagesDiv.innerHTML = '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="99%" align="{vb:stylevar left}">' + vsacb_Messages.handler.responseText + '</table>';
This modification allows the rest to work :)
4) in the same template, locate those lines :
<vb:if condition="$vboptions[vsachatbox_reverse_messages]">
vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollTop = vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollHeight;
</vb:if>
5) replace them by those :
<vb:if condition="$vboptions[vsachatbox_reverse_messages]">
vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollTop = vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollHeight-cboxgap;
</vb:if>
6) save and enjoy :)
Bonus : if you use some smileys which are too big to fit in the chatbox lines, that can cause those lines to be shifted a bit (or more). Elzen also provided a solution :
7) find the three lines showed in 5) :
<vb:if condition="$vboptions[vsachatbox_reverse_messages]">
vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollTop = vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollHeight-cboxgap;
</vb:if>
8) replace them with these :
<vb:if condition="$vboptions[vsachatbox_reverse_messages]">
vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollTop = vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollHeight-cboxgap;
var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
for (var i=0; i<imgs.length; i++) {
if (vsacb_MessagesDiv.contains(imgs[i]))
imgs[i].onload = function() {
vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollTop = vsacb_MessagesDiv.scrollHeight-cboxgap;
};
}
</vb:if>
According to his demand, this patch is licensed under the WTFPL (http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying/).
I love this chatbox, the only thing I miss is sound when someone shouts.
Is that possible to do?
