VSa - ChatBox (AJAX)

[Valter]

Delete/Prune/Ban/UnBan, and more, are all found in Archive menus.

[pilotxx]

On 4.0.2 vb i have problem. since i upgrade my system i can't add the chat to other templates but FORUMHOME... on 4.0.1 i add the chat as widget to my site...
any solution?

[ZuFett]

it is possible to include a pn-system?

[cory_booth]

Can u give a little more details on hot to this like where are the files i have to edit and where is UPDATE USER TABLE?

That is difficult because I do not know your website service. You'll need to access your vbulletin database and add a column to the vbulletin user table. Granted this could be done using a plugin, but I am not skilled enough to do that - yet... Sorry this isn't easier, but its the best I can do....

[literatestylish]

Anyone figure out a way to speed up the "loading" process for the Chatbox yet? It says "loading" for a while before the actual chat comes up.

[Blooded]

Please add things like /prune commands, /ban or /silence and so on. Include these in the next update and I won't use Inferno on mine anymore.

+1 to this, /prune, /ban and /edit mesagge commands are very usefull and will make this chatbox the best chatbox for vb 4.0.x

Slow database host or not original code.

[Basboss]

Thank you, this works great.

[aouni_tahech]

Hello Valter, I'd like to thank you for this fabulous hack. One thing I'm not being able to do is to make this hack show up below the navbar in the VBA CMPS homepage, as in other pages.

I tried to add the "adv_portal" template to the list of templates I need the hack to appear in, but nothing is showing up.

P.S. I'm not asking for a module, but for the hack to show up just like other pages.

[Inflikted]

just made a two small plugin for New Topic and Reply Notification in your chatbox, im still new to vbulletin scripting so i apologize if there is any mistakes :) But I have been using it for a couple days fine

you must make a couple changes to it though once you install it, in BOTH plugins

alter line 2 or 3

that reads...

if (!in_array($this->info['forum']['forumid'], array(105,83,121,110,82,112,109,101,102,72))) {

this will filter out private forums you don't want the public to see when a post is made, so add/remove the forumid's you wish to hide.

one last edit is the SQL insert in BOTH plugins, change the '2' to whatever userid you would like to show the posts as. I would setup a postbot and link it to that userid.

$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "vsa_chatbox` (`userid`, `userip`, `message`, `dateline`, `textprop`) VALUES ('2', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '" . $vbulletin->db->escape_string($message) ."', ".TIMENOW.", '');");

Thats all :)

[ZuFett]

+1 to this, /prune, /ban and /edit mesagge commands are very usefull and will make this chatbox the best chatbox for vb 4.0.x

and /pm "Username" :)

[topoli]

any fix for the alignment issue?

[pantani]

Me too, gona try first, looks nice :)
Installed, but why dosn't he show the hour and minute's only the h:m??

[EcoCav]

Is there a way I can get the older version of this? Before it had the log in / out area. The colors redisign, and the other useless stuff?

Its causing a lot of lag and slowness now compared to before, and my members now hate it.

[Skreech94]

Hey, I am having a problem on where the time color is the same as the background. (Made my own style) and I want to know how to fix. Maybe change the time color?

[Videx]

Is there a way I can get the older version of this? Before it had the log in / out area. The colors redisign, and the other useless stuff?

Its causing a lot of lag and slowness now compared to before, and my members now hate it.Most all the updates have fixed bugs, so I doubt you'll have much success with an older version even if someone sends you one.

Since you haven't asked for help or given any details, there's not much I can suggest. It may simply be that you're allowing too many people to sit in the box for too long and that's putting too much strain on your server. Try lowering the idle timeout.

[EcoCav]

Well I can list the problems, and my site has less than 100 users. So its not a lot of people on the chatbox. 30 messages in the past 24 hours... unless thats to much for this mod? lol

• * The chatbox now has a scroll bar in the text area, you can scroll left and right 1 pixle.
• * After selectin a color, most users can not click the typing area, and have to refresh
• * After sending a message, it takes up to 2 minutes before its shown in the box
• * Sometime messages wont show
• Can't remove the "font size" drop down. Even with no size listed
• Can't remove the searcg box
• * Sometime the chatbox wont load, stays blank and can't post anything

* All these issues started when I did the update. I had no problems before.

[Valter]

Skreech94, it's 'Shade' color.

EcoCav, Revert product templates. You are using old templates with your edits, while latest versions are needed to have product working properly.

[Videx]

That sure sounds like either an overloaded server or interference from another mod. Have you been monitoring cpu and have you tried disabling all your other mods? I mean, I'm having none of those issues, and it looks like most aren't, so you need to do some troubleshooting.

Oh, and by all means revert your templates too.

[EcoCav]

I disabled all mods 'cept for this one. Same problem. I check everything before posting here. Thanks Valter, that seems to have fixed the loading issues.

How can I remove the log in/log out, the horizontal scroll bar, the font size, and the search messages? These are useless to me on my forum, and just get in the way and look tacky. I keep the chatbox open on my phone (as do many members) and we get logged out all the time. Its pretty annoying. I didn't see anything in the settings to disable or remove these options.

[Valter]

CB is executing queries every X seconds to get new messages. This is done for all users viewing CB. This may increase server load a lot in some cases. They are sometimes leaving their computers for a while, with forums opened, and then queries are executed for nothing. Why not kick them to save some server resources and bandwidth? This is why automatic log-out. And they are back online with single click.

You may wish to set log-out interval to some higher value? Like 20, 30, or 60 minutes, or more...?

[archet1337]

I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to change the background of the chat window (not the text input field)

I've searched through all the pages now and can't figure it out. Have tried adding background-color:#dfdfdf; to various places but no success.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

[Draygonia]

Hello, how would I be able to change the color of the font? My background is dark and the black text does not show up. Thanks.

[Juggernaut]

A language pack made the time not show in the chatbox, it only shows the time when I have the chatbox displaying in english, where do I go to fix this? I already tried re-uploading the program and doing the upgrade, but this didn't fix it.

[nicky.82uk]

Thank you so much ...

I figured it out. In case anyone else have the same problem, it's located under:

Style Manager > "Your Style" > StyleVars > blockrow_background

[literatestylish]

Slow database host or not original code.

We have a pretty good database and are using the original code you have posted.

Any other ideas?

[EcoCav]

Can anyone give me an idea on how to remove the items in red?

I don't need a font size drop down, even I change the setting to have no font sizes, the box is stull there. I also don't need a search... they are tacky and in the way.

Also there is now a scroll bar in the chatbox. No its not becuase of a long sentance. The only thing typed in the chatbox was "hi". How do I fix this? Its doing it on all 4 skins, including the main VB one.

Style Manager > "Your Style" > StyleVars > blockrow_background

That should do the trick :)

[ShawnV]

Valter, can you check this out when you get time.

If you set the CB to: Reverse message order in ChatBox (newest at bottom) the CB will load with the last message not at the bottom, however it will scroll down after it auto updates.

[Skreech94]

Skreech94, it's 'Shade' color.

EcoCav, Revert product templates. You are using old templates with your edits, while latest versions are needed to have product working properly.

I am using the up to date templates. It's just that my blockrow_background color (Shoutbox background color) is the same as the time color so you can't view it =\
Any stylevars I can edit or something?

EDIT: Nevermind, lol. I didn't read your post well enough. I went into the stylevars and changed the shade_color :)

[Dream]

background color of chat and advanced statistics mod uses the background of the page, not the bg of who's online. this is a problem when using the just released semi-official vb4 styles here:

[MarkFromMn]

Still trying to sort this out...

I love the chatbox - I'm totally spinning on how to get this to show up where I want it. Direct placement of the {vb:raw chatbox} seems to not work.

I really just want to figure out how to get the chatbox in two places - the forum sidebar and on the CMS page so it can be on the home page but off to the side. Perfect would be a widget but the bulk of the CMS page seems to be the layout template which doesn't show up anywhere I can find.

Tips welcome...

how to set time between posts inorder to prevent flood??

[cory_booth]

just made a two small plugin for New Topic and Reply Notification in your chatbox, im still new to vbulletin scripting so i apologize if there is any mistakes :) But I have been using it for a couple days fine

you must make a couple changes to it though once you install it, in BOTH plugins

alter line 2 or 3

that reads...

if (!in_array($this->info['forum']['forumid'], array(105,83,121,110,82,112,109,101,102,72))) {

this will filter out private forums you don't want the public to see when a post is made, so add/remove the forumid's you wish to hide.

one last edit is the SQL insert in BOTH plugins, change the '2' to whatever userid you would like to show the posts as. I would setup a postbot and link it to that userid.

$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "vsa_chatbox` (`userid`, `userip`, `message`, `dateline`, `textprop`) VALUES ('2', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '" . $vbulletin->db->escape_string($message) ."', ".TIMENOW.", '');");

Thats all :)


Awesome work - 'cept... It generates an SQL error if the forum post contains a single quote in the title.

[elenh]

what do you thing about to add notification options?

i.e. when new thread posted by x user then auto message in the chat. The same for other actions like new reply by x,welcome to the new member x,The x user just logged in,you got pm etc..

That will be very nice if you add this extras.

I'm having some real difficulty setting the default text color

- I've checked that the first color in chat options is set to black
- I've tried to swap {vb:raw vsacb_colorfirst} in chatbox_input to black
- I've checked that stylevar > body_color is set to black

And still it looks like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Any advice on how to alter the default text other than the methods I've already tried?

Edit: When I remove the option to change color, the text color goes back to black. This is really confusing.

when you say chat options 1st color set to black
looking at your pic it must be set to DarkGray?

try this

goto
admin cp
setting
vsa chatbox
Colors available in drop-down menu

make sure 1st color there is set to black
then save

hopefully this helps as thats what i did mine is set to light blue

I've just installed this and it's working great.

However, with the default setting of "Below NavBar", I strongly recommend making the Chatbox appear BELOW the Notices as important new Notices might be missed otherwise.

Consider changing that for the next version.

Thanks.

[gamershell]

Hello good peoples of vB. I could use your help if you would be so kind. I am new to installing mods and such to the forums even though I have been an admin for years. Sad, I know but, usually someone else did it.

Is there a way someone could guide me through the installation or point to a thread that shows how to install it? :D

[Videx]

Is there a way someone could guide me through the installation or point to a thread that shows how to install it? :DStart with the manual: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/import_product , then look in the package or the first post for specific instructions.

[gamershell]

Thanks for the help Videx. I did upload the XML file as shown and it didn't work. I know it has got to be something simple I am not doing. I am just not sure what it is. Any other help would be appreciated. :D

[Videx]

I did upload the XML file as shown and it didn't work.That's pretty vague. Did you have any trouble setting the options? Does it appear in Installed Products? Link to a page where it should appear? Have you read back through all 17 pages to see if someone else had the same trouble and fixed it?

[gamershell]

Yes, it is a tad vague. I'll give you that. :D
Here is the deal: I uploaded the XML file inside the admin cp as directed. It does show up in the installed products, just not the forums. I did not read through seventeen pages as I really didn't think that was necessary. I may have been wrong! :D

I am not trying to be a pain in the ass here! I am just trying to learn and as it is Friday, our coder is off doing coder things. I just wanted to see what I did wrong. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks for the help though. :D

[Videx]

Yes, one of the least fun parts about installing mods is slogging through all the pages. But it's necessary. For one, many mods simply don't work, and you won't know unless you read all the pages (posts telling you it doesn't work quickly get buried by noobs asking why it doesn't work!).

Anyway, check your settings in AdminCP. You didn't mention that above, so it could be something simple like you have it turned off.

[gamershell]

Oh how I wish it was a simple thing like I had it turned off! Tis not. I'm not retarded, just new to the whole thing. I'll figure it out :D

[Jonluci]

Great Mod....installed it last night and loving it so far :)
I have some suggestions...to add to the chatbox :D

1. Easy access to EDIT, DELETE and other moderating commands.
2. A PM option will be great
3. Notification on new messages and new threads
4. Also a minimum number of characters needed to send a message

I dont know if these have been mentioned before. There is a whopping 55 pages O.o to go through :D
Hope to see the above implemented

[madotds]

Add an alert sound to new chats....

OK folks, this is not for the faint of heart and I know there must be a much easier way to do this, but until something better comes along....

BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

You'll need a wav file and access to your database.

STEP 1: UPDATE USER TABLE
Add new column of type "INT"
Name Column = "countvsachats"

STEP 2: MODIFY PLUGINS - (VSa - ChatBox - MN)

Find the following function "ccbmessages"
Add above: $vbulletin->db->show_errors();

$tvsacurrent = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT COUNT(ID) AS VSACURRENT FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox AS vsa_chatbox");
while ($tvsacurrent = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($tvsacurrent))
{
$vsacurrent = $tvsacurrent[VSACURRENT];
}
$tvsauser = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT countvsachats AS VSAUSER FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."user WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] ."");
while ($tvsauser = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($tvsauser))
{
$vsauser = $tvsauser[VSAUSER];
}
if ($vsacurrent > $vsauser)
{
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET countvsachats = ".$vsacurrent." WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "");
}
if ($vsacurrent < $vsauser)
{
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET countvsachats = ".$vsacurrent." WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "");
}
$vsacb_box_totalmessages = $vbulletin->db->num_rows($vsacb_get_msg_box);


STEP 3: Scroll down and find .... if ($vsacb_box_totalmessages>0)
Add above (notice here I am loading a chat.wav from images\misc - you'll need to upload a wav and change accordingly):

I have yet to try with FireFox but the idea is simple. Have a coulm in the user tabe keep track of the current amount of chats. When the chatbox refreshes, run a quick query to count the number of chats. If the chats in the query are larger than the entry in the user table - update the user table to match and fire off a sound.



I hope that there will be a good response to this and Valter might provide a similar solution?

Cheers for this! we were missing the BOING! and now it is back :) the whole process is not as daunting as it may seem at first :)

is their a way in which i can have it just display above the forums and can remove the link to the full chatbox in the navbar?

also how do i edit the name of chatbox to something of my liking?

thanks..Setting the locations is in the options. There's also an option to disable the navbar link - the last one. Changing the name has already been covered: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1981718&postcount=399 .

Believe it or not, a very important part of installing any mod is taking the time to read through the entire thread for information. Yes, I know this becomes painful for popular mods, especially when people keep padding the thread with the same questions.

[FASEOFMARS]

sorry i figured someone asked the question but their is 56 pages and i thought i would chance my arm and hopefully a gent like yourself would stop by and make my troubles a whole lot easier.. thanks a million!

[Skreech94]

I'm sure this has been asked a lot and most of us would enjoy, can you add more command functions?
Examples:
/notice
/prune
/ban
and more things along those lines. It would be really nice for this chatbox and would make it perfect.

[madotds]

Add an alert sound to new chats....

OK folks, this is not for the faint of heart and I know there must be a much easier way to do this, but until something better comes along....

BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

You'll need a wav file and access to your database.

STEP 1: UPDATE USER TABLE
Add new column of type "INT"
Name Column = "countvsachats"



I hope that there will be a good response to this and Valter might provide a similar solution?

Hi someone asked me how to add the column for this to there database so I have created a quick picturial HERE (http://www.called2duty.com/vbulletin-help/1438-how-add-column-table-phpmyadmin.html) for anyone who would like to know. It is not as hard as it sounds :)

Hope it helps

MaDaviswhat a nice step by step add-ons tutorial out there mate...thanks a lot for the time you've spent...

but still confused about this thing here


STEP 2: MODIFY PLUGINS - (VSa - ChatBox - MN)
FIND THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS "ccbmessages"

ADD ABOVE: THIS ONE? >>> $vbulletin->db->show_errors(); OR WHAT?

AND WHAT IS THIS CODE BELOW?

$tvsacurrent = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT COUNT(ID) AS VSACURRENT FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox AS vsa_chatbox");
while ($tvsacurrent = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($tvsacurrent))
{
$vsacurrent = $tvsacurrent[VSACURRENT];
}
$tvsauser = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT countvsachats AS VSAUSER FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."user WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] ."");
while ($tvsauser = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($tvsauser))
{
$vsauser = $tvsauser[VSAUSER];
}
if ($vsacurrent > $vsauser)
{
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET countvsachats = ".$vsacurrent." WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "");
}
if ($vsacurrent < $vsauser)
{
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET countvsachats = ".$vsacurrent." WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "");
}
$vsacb_box_totalmessages = $vbulletin->db->num_rows($vsacb_get_msg_box);


STEP 3: SCROLL DOWN AND FIND .... if ($vsacb_box_totalmessages>0)

ADD ABOVE: >>> (notice here I am loading a chat.wav from images\misc - you'll need to upload a wav and change accordingly):

if ($vsacurrent > $vsauser)
{
echo ('<div><table><tr><td><EMBED SRC="images\misc\chat.wav" HIDDEN="TRUE" AUTOSTART="TRUE"></EMBED></td></tr></div>');
}


tried to think to make this work still no luck...


:confused: hmmm...

[madotds]

Just shooting some noobs on xbox and then i will make an addon to that post buddy ;)

[madotds]

Ok the easiest way to do this is to go to the plugin we need to edit in this case
?VSa - ChatBox ? MN?
How? Admincp>>> Plugin and products>>>>Plugin manager Scroll down and find the VSa-Chatbox-MN plugin and next to that click edit.

Select everything in the php code box and copy it to a text editor of your choice ( I use notepad++ )

Once there you can use the find function and look for

$vbulletin->db->show_errors();

And add on the line above it (copy and paste)

$tvsacurrent = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT COUNT(ID) AS VSACURRENT FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox AS vsa_chatbox");
while ($tvsacurrent = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($tvsacurrent))
{
$vsacurrent = $tvsacurrent[VSACURRENT];
}
$tvsauser = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT countvsachats AS VSAUSER FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."user WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] ."");
while ($tvsauser = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($tvsauser))
{
$vsauser = $tvsauser[VSAUSER];
}
if ($vsacurrent > $vsauser)
{
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET countvsachats = ".$vsacurrent." WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "");
}
if ($vsacurrent < $vsauser)
{
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET countvsachats = ".$vsacurrent." WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "");
}
$vsacb_box_totalmessages = $vbulletin->db->num_rows($vsacb_get_msg_box);


Then use the search function again to find

$vsacb_box_totalmessages>0

And on the line above that add (copy and paste) the next bit of code

if ($vsacurrent > $vsauser)
{
echo ('<div><table><tr><td><EMBED SRC="images\misc\chat.wav" HIDDEN="TRUE" AUTOSTART="TRUE"></EMBED></td></tr></div>');
}

Once you have done that you can copy the whole lot back from your text editor into the plugin phpcode box replacing the original code and click save.

You then need to find a good wav file. you can TRY HERE (http://www.findsounds.com/) and upload it to your images/misc folder ( make sure and name it "chat.wav )

Hope this helps

Valter, this product is not working with IE8. I have no issues with Fire Fox. What i have done;
Reverted all your templates.
Removed Product, and reinstalled most current .xml file.
Dissabled all mods (was getting the error before and after mod disableing) but chatbox.
Pruned through 50+ pages here to find the problem.

What error does;
does not allow type input in the message text field i.e. I cannot chat. Also the area where you type in the message txt is exploded, compared to Fire Fox, no problems with Fire Fox.

I noticed you said it works on IE8 on win 7 x64, what about IE8 32 bit (most users still run these older version) on Vista & XP?

Server info:
Apache server running php5x and mysql5x , new forum so forum size is small. Running VB4.0.1 about to update to latest patch fix. Side note: VB style is default, only color changes.

[Webbstre]

This is an excellent product, but I have one request: I would like to insert the chatbox as a forum block or cms widget. I haven't read through the 56 pages before this post, so it might have come up before, but is there a way to manage that?

Hallo,

When you go to forum page. "Smilies list" are displayed inside chat. When I refresh everything is OK.

Valter indicated a few pages back that he was finding it very difficult to make it work as a widget, due to Jelsoft changing the way the code worked, so he was not going to make a CMS widget a priority. Whether this means he will get it working eventually or not I don't know, but given that he seems a skilled coder, I would imagine that it will happen eventually.

I believe it's possible to do yourself by pasting all of Valter's chatbox code into a custom PHP widget. It would still require tweaking though. Hopefully we get an official version soon, I'm planning on donating at that point myself, as it's the last functionality I need to seamlessly integrate this into my board.

Ok, it's not an essentially vital thing right now, I just thought I would ask.

Does anyone know how much of a load an active chatbox causes on their server?

{
$vsacurrent = $tvsacurrent[VSACURRENT];
}
$tvsauser = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT countvsachats AS VSAUSER FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."user WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] ."");
while ($tvsauser = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($tvsauser))
{
$vsauser = $tvsauser[VSAUSER];
}
if ($vsacurrent > $vsauser)
{

}

Once you have done that you can copy the whole lot back from your text editor into the plugin phpcode box replacing the original code and click save.

You then need to find a good wav file. you can TRY HERE (http://www.findsounds.com/) and upload it to your images/misc folder ( make sure and name it "chat.wav )

i did all of this..but still no sound playing ???

[kiwi1342]

Hi,

I don't know if anyone asked this already, but it would be cool if (like an other chat posted in this forum but not as good as this one ;) ) there would be the possibility to create a link in chat when a new post is made.

what do you think?
thx

[kiwi1342]

just made a two small plugin for New Topic and Reply Notification in your chatbox, im still new to vbulletin scripting so i apologize if there is any mistakes :) But I have been using it for a couple days fine

you must make a couple changes to it though once you install it, in BOTH plugins

alter line 2 or 3

that reads...

if (!in_array($this->info['forum']['forumid'], array(105,83,121,110,82,112,109,101,102,72))) {

this will filter out private forums you don't want the public to see when a post is made, so add/remove the forumid's you wish to hide.

one last edit is the SQL insert in BOTH plugins, change the '2' to whatever userid you would like to show the posts as. I would setup a postbot and link it to that userid.

$vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "vsa_chatbox` (`userid`, `userip`, `message`, `dateline`, `textprop`) VALUES ('2', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '" . $vbulletin->db->escape_string($message) ."', ".TIMENOW.", '');");

Thats all :)

I will try this now but I dont' understand why it says 2 plugins but I see only one xml file :confused:

[kiwi1342]

OK I figured it out. Here are the steps:

1. Download the replypost-notification.xml which you'll find here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1994272&postcount=765

2. open the file just downloaded and edit it as explained in the post. Be carefull that there are two plugin in this single xml file which means that you have to edit the text for both plugin ( search for 'forumid'], array(105,83,121,110,82,112,109,101,102,72)) inside the document and you'll find two results)

3. once you edited it save the file and go to your admincp page

4. scroll down to the end and go to Plugins & Products --> Download / Upload Plugins

5. scroll to the botton and upload the previous xml file. You should see now the "VSA New Reply" and "VSA New Thread" plugin in the list.


Job Done :D

yes :) as xplained in the original post you should change only the number insidde the bracket. If you want to NOT show notification for your forum id 57 you should remove all those numbers and write only 57 :)

I think it is because the coder uses the postsave hookname. I am not a vb coder so we should wait his answer.

Anyway what was the exact problem that you had with smiles?

When somebody cames to forum for first time ever. (no cashe, cookies...) "Smilies list" is displayed in chat body. Refreshing page solve this and after that everything works fine.

[kiwi1342]

well on that screenshot that you posted I don't see the smilies menu. I see the entire forum loaded inside the chat but I tried before and your chat looks fine (there is no smilies menu, and it was my first time that I connected to your forum).

I notice that you changed the layout from what was in that screenshot... maybe that fixed the issue

You have to come directely to forum site. Not from main site link. It happening even when I changed style. if you visit this link - http://www.soccervista.com/forum/ from browser you have not used before you will se what I mean.

Good morning at alls..
I need ( if possible ) to have a sound , how i hear in a lot of chat, when there's a new post.. because it happen very often that the admins or moderators are reading articles on cms or in forum and some users post a question on chat and no one answer because we do not see the new message except when we scrool up the screen and is ever later to cath the user and i think that it's not good for a chat ( maybe i wrong but i only ask that for me coukd be very usefull )

Thanks

[dangerin]

Or if sound is impossible some thing that can see that someone has written in the chat box..
so .. if someone do not see on chat is really difficult to know that's a message in ..

No one wanna answer me ? How can i use this as widget ?huh?

[Markos]

is there anyway to set the users font colour the same colour as there user group colour ?

[Ozymandyus]

No one wanna answer me ? How can i use this as widget ?huh?

The short answer is you can't unless you want to write your own custom widget for it. Valter's aware of the requests but said that due to changes in the vBulletin code it was difficult for him to create one.

[GamerPerfection]

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the 51 page thread, but is it possible to change the default colour? At the moment it's black, and my forum background is black.

i removed black from the colour options, but that doesn't have an effect on the default colour being black?

Any ideas?


EDIT: Ignore that, after removing black from the colour list it did actually move the default to the next colour I think. :)

EDIT EDIT: Ah ok I see what happened, it remember the last colour i used the next time I logged in so the last colour i used becomes my default next login. Ok that's not a big issue. :)

[dangerin]

No one answer to my question about the sound for a new post?
How do you use this chat without sound? is possible that must be a person every present to see if someone write something?
Ok when the chat is very very used but when is used to ask something and no one answer because do not know that's written on is a problem.
Thanks

[domi681]

Hello, you may write in the forum when you receive a notice posted on the chat?

[dangerin]

mmhh i do not understand!
If someone write in chat must go also on forum to write that has written on chat to reciev an answer?
Chat is a simply and fast mode to comunicate if there are to do other operations except to write in chat i lost the useful of this mod do not think?
Think if when i write on a chat on a site i must go also on forum to advise.. i have never found a chat without sound or advise .. ( except when thers is only a full page in a site that is dedicate ONLY to the chat ).
I hope to have said all correctly because i'm italian and my english is not the best

I finally got it installed however, I have a question. The chatbox shows up on the top of the forums and then again on the bottom. I can get it so it just shows up on the bottom but, not just the top.

Is there a way to fix this? I am sure there is a way, however, I don't want to search through 60 pages to find it. If someone could tell me how or point me to a thread that tells me, I would be greatly appreciative. :D

On another note, I would like to apologize to Videx (I think that's the name) for being a bit of ++++ the other day. I was just frustrated with the whole situation. Not that is an excuse. My apologies again.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Great chatbox. but 3 urgent issues for me:

1. is there a way to show "who's online in the chat" block on the main page (but not the chat itself).

2. is there a way to show login/logout of chat in the message list?

3. when i click on a username, want to open the profile page in a separate window. right now it opens in the same window, logging out of chat.

it's hard to search the entire thread but did anyone ever answer if it was able to make it so you can only chat one on one with someone if they're your friend?

Interesting also this question and i'm waitnig to know if is possible to have a sound when there's a new message on chat box.

Please some one can answer also to say that is not possible and ther's no way to have this additional mod.
Bye

Anyone getting an error similar to this: Invalid Page Specified

I've tried reinstalling but no luck.No, I don't recall seeing that error here. You'll have to figure it out yourself or give us a lot more information.

it's hard to search the entire thread but did anyone ever answer if it was able to make it so you can only chat one on one with someone if they're your friend?No, this mod currently does not allow one on one chats, and I don't recall seeing any easy way to hack it to do that.

Installed and Advertising Under Navbar is no longer there.. Awesome Chat by the way...Mine's gone too but I wasn't sure if it was this mod. Apparently so. If we didn't have so many repeat posts perhaps we could get the occasional real bug fixed.

Interesting also this question and i'm waitnig to know if is possible to have a sound when there's a new message on chat box.Yes, but it requires a lot of effort. Look back a ways and you'll find lengthy instructions. You probably don't want to do this unless you have a dedicated server (chat boxes in general will get you in trouble on shared servers; chat boxes that encourage people to hang around for hours at a time are even worse).

[dangerin]

i'm sure that need a lot of effort but if i was able to do it i'd od surely because for me is really usefull and a sound for a new post i do not think taht create problems with shared hosting because also for the new private message ther's a sound and is not look like how a problem ).
Chat box for my site is important because users do not use a lot the ofrum but prefer the chat and so i'd like to give them this possibility but without sound or advice is not the best experience

[Videx]

Chat box for my site is important because users do not use a lot the ofrum but prefer the chat and so i'd like to give them this possibility but without sound or advice is not the best experienceYou're looking at it backwards though. In fact, by lowering traffic in your forum, you are doing yourself a disservice.

[dangerin]

your word are correct but i'm searching to use the chat to invite more users to use the forum and if they see that there are people on chat that answer may be go on forum.
Actually some one write on chat and no one answer except when see the post but is ever later.
is a mode to hope to increase the forum's users

[Videx]

You may want to consider a more complete solution then like Official AddonChat Product (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233009&highlight=addonchat) which won't use your own bandwidth, and has features like sounds. Well, I don't remember if sounds are in the free version or not. But at least you should read that thread to get some idea of what you're up against. Ditto the Flashchat threads.

[dangerin]

interesting but it not appear on screen and is a task on navbar so is normal that who click to go on chat read also the posts.
So i read that the free version is withput a lot of add on.
But now i lìread better all the posts.
thank you..

i'd love THIS vsachat because for me is the better chat that i've seen

[Videx]

I went into my options I just cannot find the chat box. It's installed as a product but in the settings/options there are no options for it there.As the years go by that Options box isn't getting any easier to find stuff in. I think it would be easier as a page of links; at least you could search for "chat" and get a hit.

Mine is 8th from the bottom - "VSa - Chatbox". But there's no telling where yours might be since it will depend on how many other mods have put things in there. If it's really not there then all you can do is try uninstalling and starting from scratch with a new download/install.

PS The color question has been answered in-thread. Good Luck finding it.

[jacx]

Hi everyone. Im asking for some advice here as i do not understand how to do something.

The chatbox is installed fine and works fine.

However only a limited amount of people are allowed to see this shoutbox. Those people all have access to a single subforum : http://forum.clipwiregames.com//forumdisplay.php?98-Seriously-Offensive-Shit-General

The rest of the forum population use a different chat system.

On 3.8 i had this setup and had no issue, but I am not seeing or understanding how to do this now in 4.0 and with this updated version.

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

But where to i put this or..how do i define this so it is only forum 98?

THanks

[fferre]

Hello
installed and running propertly!
but I would like to know something. I want to make chat only visible in one subforum.
Is there any setting to do that?

[Heldenverband]

One question from my side.

After standard installation the chat have the complete width of my webside. What I have to do to use this only at the same dimension as my category ( forum ) because I have boxes on the left side.

[Heldenverband]

Solved. Thank you.

It was necessary to disabled position on page.

[RNGDE]

For some reason, I am not unable to see chatbox. this was workign fine for 2 months now, and now everyone can see the chatbox (except me admin), including other admins in the same usergroup as me (they can see it). I cannot though

Any suggestions as to why this is happening

[xDazedx]

Need some help here customizing this a bit and I know one of you can or has done this. I want to basically do a cut and paste of the chatbox to post outside the forum. I did this before with phpbb3 but have not been able to do this with the chatbox.

Fox example, the chatbox has a "full version" which you could use in an iframe on an external page. However you get the header and footer which is not good. You can get rid of some of that with the iframe but would still have the header. I basically want a 720px by 350px (roughly) of just the chatbox.

Has anyone done this or have any ideas on how to accomplish?

****Resolved*****

I've tried not to nag about this as well, but seeing as how it's been a few weeks without hearing anything I thought I'd ask again. The only thing currently missing to make this a perfect mod for me is integration with vBulletin's CMS package. You'd indicated before Valter that this was difficult due to some changes Jelsoft had made in their code, have you had a chance to look at this? If you're going to add this functionality, do you have any idea on a timeline? Or perhaps you're waiting for the next major vBulletin 4.0 patch first?

I logged in and looked around, but I really don't have time to troubleshoot it for you, sorry. But from my first impressions, I'd say you've got so many mods installed I'm not surprised they aren't beginning to interfere with each other. You need to at least try disabling all of them and see if it works, then enable one at a time to see which is the cause of the conflict.

But it may not be that easy. It looks like you've got mods that required manual template editing, and if one of those is the cause you're going to have to revert templates before you may find it.

Hey Valter I hope you can answer this question....

I noticed here at www.edgegamers.org (its an older version vbulletin and they dont run your shoutbox)

But they have their shoutbox automatically post this message " Welcome to the community, Yummy." when someone joins their community. It posts it in the shoutbox.

How can i do that?

Same thing with the Medal Awards system here on vbulletin , do you know how I can do it so that when someone receives an award from that mod, it says "Congratulations! Namehere has received the ______ award!

To disable the 'Log-out user from ChatBox after X minutes of inactivity' option,Why not just set it to something like 9999 minutes? But be aware - this will increase your server load. It is probably not something you want to do on a shared server!

THANKS M8!!!

Hello Valter... Did you want to conisder to put this in next versions of Chatbox?

As already explained earlier - First color is your style default, and it's automatically added. Second 'black' is one you defined in product options.

About this - if I use one skin (black), and someone use different (white), we have a problem. First, I will write with lite text color (white) and another user with dark text color (black). Can you do this - when I write with STYLE DEFAULT color, that text show on default skin color (on dark skin, text will be white, and on white skin text will be black!). Just custom text colors are displayed in choosen color.... This will solve many problems. Also, you can separate default color - maybee put it on top of color pickups, maybe text "Default" beside....

Thanks m8!


(littel explain in serbo-croatian:
Mozda nisam bas najbolje objasnio pa u najkracim crtama oko boja :) Problem je ako su skinovi potpuno razliciti (tamni i svetli) i ako se u Chatbox-u pise defalt bojom, najlogicnije je da se taj tekst i ispisuje defaul text bojom za taj skin, pa ne bi moglo da se desi da se poruka napisana na svetlom skinu ne vidi dobro na tamonom i obrnuto. Takodje, u color-selecoru ne bibilo lose da se ta default boja posebno odvoji u potpuno posebnom redu na vrhu - preko koje (ili pored koje) bi moglo da pise DEFAULT. Mnogi tu prvu boju i ne konstatuju i ne primecuju kao default boju izabranog skina. HVALA UNAPRED DRUZE!)
