There's definitely a bug with the Chatbox and connected users on my site. If I disable it for unregistered users, and I clean my sessions table, the connected users drop to 100. When I re-enable the Chatbox for unregistered users, bang, the connections spike in a matter of seconds and they all go in the Chatbox archive.
How can I disable the Archive for unregistered users?
We're experiencing this same issue on our forums (running 4.0.2PL4). We have guests disabled from viewing the chatbox, but there still seems to be a ton of spiderbots that get caught looking in the Chatbox Archive.
If you go to http://www.spacetimestudios.com/online.php you can see all the guests that are viewing the chatbox archive.
I've tried disallowing guests from viewing the chatbox via the permissions, but it doesn't fix it.
I've tried including the below in my robots.txt file to keep the bots out of those pages:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /misc.php?do=ccarc
but I'm not sure if that's the correct way to do it.
We've just let it go, but we were up to like 8,000 connected users (when traffic to the site is usually around 100 or so peak time).
Any suggestions to correct this? We love the chatbox but would like the who's online section to reflect the accurate numbers of users.
Thanks in advance for any input you have.

Oh, clarification - when we have it set so that guests cannot view the chatbox, the bots and the inflated numbers of connected guests dissapears.
However, we'd really like for people who are not registered to be able to view the chatbox. Our players use the chatbox to coordinate their PvP tourneys. While having guests not view might be good to drive them to register, we would like anyone who wants to, to view the chatbox.
Is there anyway to disable access to the chatbox archive by permissions?

Samhayne-MMS
07-20-2010, 04:24 AM
Hmm, I'd wager it's in AdminCP -> Settings -> VSA Chatbox -> the top section for
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)
I'm not sure what the values would be for your custom forum though...
conradk
07-21-2010, 01:58 AM
If you you enter "forumdisplay" in the chatbox options THIS_SCRIPT parameter, then it will show in any defined forums and their sub-forums.
What I would like to do, however, is have it show in only one forum. That I haven't figured out yet. I get parse errors when I try to do this.

Is very complicated Sun
Is there a way to insert this graphic characters in the chatbox get shut?

must be 20 people including myself been asking the same question in this thraed with zero answers.
please post here if you find out how to do it
EDIT: Figured this out and unlike most i wont keep it to myself :)
I have been wanting to add this chatbox to a vip forum and no where else in the forum. The forum id for VIp on our forum is 17. so for the folowing example replace 17 with the correct forum id on your forum.
heres the idiots guide i have been requesting
1) Open the FORUMDISPLAY Template
2) add the following code
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' AND $forumid == 17">
{vb:raw vsachatbox}
</vb:if>
save
3) Go to vsa chatbox settings in admincp and enter the following settings
Show ChatBox on pages (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations) = $forumid == 17
Show ChatBox in templates (comma separated template names) = FORUMDISPLY
Position on page (Disable if you add ChatBox manually in templates) = Below navbar
enable cb = yes
save
some may say the above is wrong but there the settings i have and it works for me..

I don't know, there are other guys here having the same issue. I had to remove it because the text was not coming out white and could not be read...
when typing does the default text come out white or do you have to change it for each post?? Not that you said that I have to check and make sure I am even posting in the right thread. I have tried every one of these...
I guess it could be my css...not sure
paulvev

The text was by default black in the chatbox , but if users change it to a colour, the chatbox remembers that colour next time they log in. Probably easiest solution.
RichieBoy67
07-31-2010, 10:26 PM
oh--The best solution is too have the default text changed.. Many users will go in and type first and then get ticked off because they have to change that so in reality your script isn't working correctly... Having the default text dark and the background dark is not the ideal set up...
I don't know, I haven't even looked at the xml yet and I was hoping not too but I don't believe anyone wants to offer support with this issue..
Paulvev, I am surprised you are getting e-mails left and right from members complaining about there text not showing..

Default is white (for that specific style). However, if I change to a light style that I also have on that forum, the text changes to black. The only things I really changed after I installed it was removing the ability to change text colors (and general access permissions), which is why I believe the problem lies with the styles themselves, not the mod.

I'm not greatly experienced with this product but I'm pretty sure it was not meant to place images in. It's a shout box.
It is at my forums. It's a photography forum...
And the IMG tag works fine, only thing is it gets real weird for *large* photo's, so I'd like to restrict photo's to, say, 400x400 pixels when putting [img] tags in the chatbox.
But I have disabled the IMG tag in Chat admin settings for now.
My users are realy enjoying the chat / shoutbox a lot!
It would be very nice if it were possible to have 'channels', so that one would be able to have 'chat-channels' for certain usergroups, that others cannot see.
But it is very very nice as it is already, a big thank you for the author!

I have made it *very* wide, that worked. Altering CSS didn't work, i couldnt find the css properties and I got tired of searching.
These are my settings:
smileys per row: 13 (i know this is very wide)
Smileys to show on startup: 26
Total smilies available (0 to disable smiliebox, 1 to use all smilies): 39
Smilie clipping in smiliebox (in pixels): 50
This looks OK in default style as well as my modified style.

Is this chatbox heavy for your forums ?As with any script of this type, it depends how you configure it and how much use it gets. Certainly nobody with a forum of any size on a shared host should configure it as a chatbox. I have mine set up as a shoutbox (basically, short logout times), which discourages people from hanging out there and carrying on conversations - that makes things pretty light.

If you want to change the background colour of the "message area", then in Valter Templates>vsa_chatbox template find
;width:auto;font-size:{vb:raw vsacb_textsize}">and replace with
;width:auto;font-size:{vb:raw vsacb_textsize};background-color:#000000">where #000000 is the desirable colour.

I like this chatbox BUT is there anyway that new posts and the like can be displayed over on the right of the chat box like MGC Chatbox Evo does.
As it is currently, it can get very confusing with all the new posts popping up when users are chatting.

Hey guys..
Does anyone have any tips on how NOT to make the smilie box have scroll bars? (besides turning it off of course)
I would like to be able to see my smilies without scrolling.
Thanks in advance,

having a small issue. when i log out of the forum and get taken to the logout page, the chatbox is still showing, which is causing me to lag for some reason because of the amount of smilies i have, its downloading them all, all 700 of them, and then logging me out. never did this before. if i were to logout it would instantly remove itself from the view on the logout page.
any ideas?

I am new at VBulletin, and apologize if this is answered elsewhere in the thread:
"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"
could someone dumb this down for me? I installed the chat plugin. It is listed in my Vbulletin 4.0.6 Installed Plugins and Products section.
I understand that the instructions above are to somehow tell vBulletin where to display the 'button' to click chat.
I cannot understand that set of instructions no matter how many times I re-read it.
The website is new, and we are working to add content, learn VBulletin and add features, content, forums.

Any server load issues?With any script like this there is the possibility of serious server load issues. Nobody with shared hosting should even think about hosting any chat room where people hang all day refreshing the page constantly. If you have shared hosting, configure this as a 'shoutbox', where people get logged out quickly.

I am having some issues with a newly installed vBulletin 4.0.6 and this chatbox. It is the only add-on that I have installed.
I have searched through the thread and looked for the following questions:
1) How to change the color of the textbox background color where you read text. - I think I have that answered in the StyleVars blockrow_background color
2) How to change the color of the text entry background color. - I found an answer but it doesn't seem to work. This post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1996078&postcount=795 said to change this entry in one of the chatbox templates color:{vb:raw vsacb_colorfirst} but it did not seem to work. *EDIT* I was putting the background-color:#000000 in the wrong place. There are three entries of {vb:raw vsacb_colorfirst} in the template. It was the third one that needed the background-color entry.
3) The chatbox color selector. It is for some reason doubling the first color in the chatbox settings. When black is the first color listed in the Colors available in drop-down menu setting, it shows two blacks. However, when I remove black, and Gold is the first choice there, it shows two golds in the colors drop-down menu.

Assuming you haven't changed anything for a while, and assuming this is a shared server, have you contacted your host and asked them what they changed last night? Best to do this while it's fresh in their minds.

My question is this. Has anyone else seen large increases in bots and spiders as a result of adding this plugin. Right now on my who's online I'm showing about 300+ guests and bots as 'Viewing Chatbox Archive'. Trust me, this is way above normal.
It seems to happen about once a day. Out of nowhere tons of bots show up to view the chatbox archive. Its puzzling.

You must be referring to "Add conditional to block unregistered and other usergroups from chatbox archive".
I didn't have to hack the mod to stop search bots, so clearly it's not necessary. Which is good, because I want Guests to be able to see the chatbox and it's archive.

Hello. I love this chat mod so far, but I have a problem. I tried to upload a new template and it seemed to install just fine, but when I tried to use it I had issues with buttons and text not showing correctly in both the forum and in the chatbox. I tried to uninstall the template but it didn't help. I cleared my cache and restarted the machine...no better. Since this is a new forum that I'm setting up (migrating from SMF) I hadn't done a backup yet, so I decided to start from scratch. I deleted the forum, the database, and everything else I could think of. I then did a completely fresh install. To my suprise, this fixed the problems with the forum, but the problems persist with the chatbox. Can anybody think of what could be causing this? I'm running 4.0.8 .
Thanks in advance
Edit: this is what I'm getting with IE8 and it shows no errors. Firefox shows "new" on the left where the folder icons should be and the Smilies button shows okay.

Becuase of this, I had to repeatedly scroll (manually) to the bottom to read every new reply.
Is there a setting to reverse the order/focus or is this hardcoded? Pls help

Yes this can be changed in the settings for the chat system in the admin cp :up:

Any idea how I could make this happen?:
The vsa_chatbox_bit contains this:
Code:
<a href="member.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw vsacb_msg_box.userid}">{vb:raw vsacb_msg_box.musername}</a>
I want to change to display this:
Code:
<a href="http://facebook.com/{vb:raw fbuserid}">{vb:raw vsacb_msg_box.musername}</a>
It would need to display the user fbuserid of the name of the person who posted the message, the name being contained in {vb:raw vsacb_msg_box.musername}.
Basically, right now it is setup to display the profile of the person who posted a shout. But I want it to display the facebook page of the person who posted she shout.

Hi I have a problem with Chatbox.
Chatbox is not working and the status still says that it is charging.
After entering the message is displayed bulletin: "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing"
How to fix it?
PS: vbulletin version 4.0.8

I get this message error when trying to install...This is usually from a bad upload. Try it again, and make sure you're uploading the right file. And make sure it's the correct one for your version of vbulletin.

I tried uploading it twice only downloaded it once. This has happened on 2 mods I've tried to install..
Just installed on 4.0.8, and found that some icons doesn't show - VSa is looking for .gif files while there are same filename but in .png format.
FYI.

I tried uploading it twice only downloaded it once. This has happened on 2 mods I've tried to install..That's odd. Does the xml file appear to be okay if you look at it in a text editor? Perhaps you can try a different browser to install it, or upload the file via ftp and import it from the server.

I'm now getting this message on several different Add-ons not specific to chat download...If you mean you're seeing this error on a running board, then you should probably contact your host. Likely some sort of security they recently implemented is causing it. If you have a dedicated server then your server admin should be able to deal with it. Or you can try the server forum at vb.com.

I'm seeing it when I try to upload other mods to the forum. Not just the chatbox mod.You may want to start a new thread then. I've tried a few quick searches but the terms don't lend well to the vb search engine.
A Google site search (http://www.google.com/search?q=XML+Error%3A+not+well-formed+%28invalid+token%29+at+Line+1+site%3Awww.vb ulletin.org&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=XML+Error:+not+well-formed+%28invalid+token%29+at+Line+1+site:www.vbul letin.org) will turn up a ton of hits, but I don't see any actual solutions. A couple people say it just started working for them for no particular reason. You might try PM'ing some of the latest ones and see if they can give any hints.

Installed and working lovely, thanks.
But can I ask for a small change please? If "ChatBox always collapsed by default (ChatBox Full not affected)" is set to true would it be possible for the ChatBox not to download any messages until it is expanded? I tried setting "Logged-out by default" on as well but still the ChatBox loads its list of messages when the page is loaded even though they are not going to be displayed.

Need help on what to put in this box (below) I tried putting only the forum name but it showed up on all pages.
Show ChatBox on pages (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)
I want to use it only for our staff forum and not the public forum . any help please?

Hi Dale.B
you have to Block the users that you dont want to view the Chatbox
In usergroup permissions
Look at the last pic on right above in Screenshot (by the coder)
set usergroup NOT able to view forums to all but your staff/member that you want
to see your usergroups goto to
admin C/p
Usergroups
Usergroup manager
Then on the right hand side of the screen you'll have user Id
Thats the number you type in
default is 1,8 (unregistered & Banned)
Then to edit like SS
goto admin c/p
Options
Vsa Chatbox
Permissions
Usergroups NOT able to view ChatBox (comma separated ID list)
P.S
In that box you mentioned Show ChatBox on pages
my says
index
Hope this helps

Ok guys do the following to fix the issue until they update the plugin
Goto: Plugins & Products
Export the VSa - Chatbox, saving it to your computer.
Open with text editor or xml editor
Find & Change the following lines:
Line 1576: '/post_new.gif' -> '/post_new.png'
Line 1580: '/post_old.gif' -> '/post_old.png'
Line 1797: '/post_new.gif' -> '/post_new.png'
Line 1801: '/post_old.gif' -> '/post_old.png'
If you smilie button isnt working replace this line also.
Line 888: '/smilie.gif' -> '/smilie.png'
Re-install the plugin replacing the old version and bingo.. all fixed.
**This edit is done solely on helping the community.
I take no credit for the plugin.
Hi, there is a lot of pages here and im struggling to find the info I need. I would like to place the shoutbox in one forum only. Basically my site has 2 levels of users, pg13 and over 18's. I want the chat box to the in the over 18's forum only.
Is there a way to do that? Example the forum number is 98 (no not that many forums, just a number of changes over the years)
Thanks.

Now please stick with me as i'm a total noob at all this. I've downloaded this chatbox and it's exactly what i'm after.
My only problem is that the icon to the left of the time/date and the text for the smilie drop down box are not showing. The link is there but the image/text is not shown. What is in place is a small icon in the shape of a page with 3 colors in it.
This icon is putting the text out of place etc
Please please please help

Hi all.
Upgraded to vBulletin 4.1. Getting this error in the first line of the chatbox:
Warning: array_rand() [function.array-rand]: Second argument has to be between 1 and the number of elements in the array in [path]/global.php(29) : eval()'d code on line 443

Problem actually seems to come from VSa - Advanced Forum Statistics...

I've installed and configured the ChatBox and almost everything is working fine.... :up:
The one thing I need to change is the test color (white) on the drop-down menu
(Top left corner of the winder, to the right of the "ChatBox" and "Chatbox Full" text.
What I see is a row of white boxes...
- hovering the mouse pointer on menu items gives me a pale orange highlight, and small white text. Its almost impossible to ready it - even with my glases on! :D
Can you tell me the line numbers to edit?
- and / or show me the line + code I need to edit
This is a very cool Add-on, my users are going to love it when we release the upgraded site! (phpBB3 to vB4)
Thanks

Try right clicking the image and see its actual URL. Compare the image you have in the folder on your server. 99% likely its a PNG/GIF issue. I had the same too. I edited the XML and changed the GIF to PNG and it worked. :)

This happens to me when you are part of a usegroup that does not have permission to view the chatbox, for example banned users or unregistered/not logged in. Perhaps it's to do with you being logged out due to inactivity and becoming part of the not logged in usergroup?
