Hi, installed today.

I'm getting a 404 error and then it tries to load it again and repeats this.

Uploaded and installed twice. Hoping to get lucking. :) Folder permission set to 777. Though I was surprised it stuck. Host usually only allows 755.

Forum is here http://cebuforum.org

Thanks for the help,

Hello,
anyone got a problem with refreshing shoutbox? I've got installed this shoutbox for long time and after 4.2.0 it's not refreshing automatically.

Same here, just upgraded vB from 4.1.8 to 4.2PL2 and upgraded vBShout from 5.4.8 to the latest and the chat box won't load any text at all.

All the old messages and anything new typed in shows in the archive but the chat box just sits there with "Loading...." at the top but never loads.

OK, didn't notice the updated template message in admin after upgrading vBShout.

All good once I reverted it.

I can't revent any templete. I never changed any template at all.

[Marcin147]

Great mod but it doesn't work with polish characters :/

[RustyF]

Thanks Coder, I've done that three times now. :)

My mod and admin CP have different names but now I uploaded that directory as well and still left it in my renamed control panels.

I looked back over previous issues and saw that always fixed it, some file missing.

The first time I tried to install it I did miss one of the files and during the install, I got an error message indicating a file was not found. I think it was the file for the modcp.

I'm going to do it one more time. Easy to click on the wrong folder, I just did. :) If you don't hear that I got it working, I didn't.

[tareqbd]

i had installed it, its say only Loading...... what to do. I have searched over internet much.. but i cannot find a help on this. please find me a solution.

[DragonByte Tech]

Great mod but it doesn't work with polish characters :/We have no issues with polish or any other characters on our live forum, but there is an issue where if you're using utf-8 character set in your Language Settings but non-utf8 in your database, this may corrupt some characters.

[DragonByte Tech]

Could you please post the 2 shouts that have been posted?

I had pruned it... and of course it's not happening at the moment... I'm sure it will shortly, so when it does, I'll post the shouts, thanks for the quick reply!

The Shoutbox has just been pruned!

Please excuse the language :)

[itzkr0me]

I did hear that everytime a single users posts in the shoutbox, it causes the parse error... this makes some sense as I'm able to post fine, and when this user tries, it throws that error... he's not typing anything crazy, just normal text. But that could just be coincidence.

Hmm....

I have all the files uploaded, box shows up on the forum page, but I cannot get any of the admin cp options work even though they all show up in the drop down.. all I get is a window popping up that says "invalid action" when I click on one of them.

Any ideas?

Please upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum folder :)

I got you. One thing that I failed to mention is that I upgraded from 2.5 so a lot of the folders prexisted so I went through some moving processes when I'd get fail messages while the plugin was installing.

I'll go back and check that the admin files are in the forum directory. Thank You.

[DragonByte Tech]

Ohh, in that case remember to also perform the steps in the Upgrade Notes files found in the zip. That should resolve it for you :)

Hi how do I change the color on the Shout box

[DragonByte Tech]

Hi .... I would like to place the vBShout in a new window and not under the navbar....????The Pro version has a Detach feature :)

Hi how do I change the color on the Shout boxThe input area works off of two StyleVars:
input_background and control_focus_background. The first is before the user selected the input area, and the 2nd is while the user is typing.

The actual shouts' background area works off of the postbit_background StyleVar.

Hope that helps :)

Hey, I just implemented a new style and upgraded the vBShout to the latest version. When typing your message in the area on the left, the background is white and by default, the color of the font is white so you cannot see what you're typing. Is there a way to change the default color of your text to...say...black? Thanks!

That would have to be a styling/CSS issue on your end.

That the Override Shout Colour setting (a Pro-only option) is being forced on in the Lite version is a bug that will be addressed in the next update :)

Hello,

Hello,

I don't hear the sound of the chatbox

When I send a private discution I have : [MP ? %1$s]You need to revert that phrase, it's no longer the valid syntax.

If you are having problems with sound, please follow this check-list:


1) Did you select a sound to be played in the Instance Manager?
AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout -> Instance Management -> [Edit] -> Shout Sound / Invite Sound / PM Sound

2) Are sounds turned on?
AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout -> Settings -> Enable Sounds

3) !!!Pro Only!!! Are sounds turned on in the UserCP?
UserCP -> Shoutbox -> Shoutbox Settings -> Shout Sounds / Invite Sounds / PM Sounds

4) Is the QuickTime browser plugin installed? -Not needed for HTML sounds-
QuickTime Plugin (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/)- Please note that you need to restart your browser after installing the plugin.

5) Does it work in other browsers?
If you only have one browser on your computer (Internet Explorer) you should try out Firefox (http://www.getfirefox.com).

6) Is the following text present in the source of the page: <embed or <audio?
Right click -> View Source -> Ctrl+F -> <embed
Right click -> View Source -> Ctrl+F -> <audio
If this is not found, and all the above steps are completed, then you may have an out of date template. Please revert any customisations to dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox


If none of the above steps fix it for you, then it's a browser issue that we are unfortunately unable to assist with.

ahhh! thanks! I had to completely uninstall and remove older files, but it works now.

[RoG Aftermath]

For some reason when i enable the shoutbox, it loads my site for about 3 seconds and then goes straight to a white blank page, anyone know what could be going on? Im running 4.2

Im very interested in purchasing the pro version, i wanna make sure this isnt a major problem i have first tho.

[DragonByte Tech]

Does the URL bar change when it loads the white page?

Can you PM me with an account so I can see this in action?

Hello,

Thank you for v.6.0.8

[W2OE_Prodigy]

I'm having a problem with the shoutbox updating itself I guess you could say. Whenver there is a new post instead of the shoutbox scrolling down by itself it will stay in place either all the way at the top of the shoutbox or about 10 posts above. We then have to scroll down to see it but then it automatically goes back to about 10 shouts above. This just started happening about 12 hours ago and has been working perfectly for over a month now.

Any suggestions? Is it a bad code or should I uninstall/reinstall?

[DragonByte Tech]

If you didn't change anything with the Shoutbox and it randomly started happening then it sounds like a browser issue, was the browser updated recently?

Fillip

No it wasn't. I wasn't the only person experiencing this as many people were experiencing it on the forum and varied from firefox to chrome users too.

[Draffi]

It was possible for me, to show the shoutbox on the CMS-Starting-Page, using this way here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236245

The only Problem i have, i have no more third column!

Something is wrong in my code, what i was using in:

Step 4a - Template Information

I'm using this code:
<div>{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}</div>

or in Step

5a - Plugin Info

with this code:
vB_Template:('vbcms_widget_MyWidget');

NOTE:

If you are trying this, please add something in the HTML-Box (for example):
<html></html>

AND

When you create a ne plugin, you need to choose:
"vbcms_process_widget_complete"
for the Hook-Location.


Please, can somebody help me to recover the third (right) column?

Thank you in advance

Is it something you're able to reproduce reliably?
Would I be able to see it in action 100% of the time if I went to check out your site and/or did something specific?

Until now, i run SMF. But soon i want to change. So you dont can see this live.

The shoutid and dateline are both in the correct order in the database tables. Have uninstalled and re-installed but the issue remains. Perhaps my web host (GoDaddy Ultimate Secure Linux package) is garbage. Not sure what to do now.

[DragonByte Tech]

With the lite version is it possible to have it so that new threads and foum posts show up in the chat box?? Or is that restricted to pro?The Lite version lets you set threads and posts to show up on a per-category basis by clicking Forum Manager under the DBTech - vBShout AdminCP menu group.

[SPEEDKILLZ]

Found it, but im not too good at this, i can't see where colors are to change. It just says background color

You need to change the line to background-color:#FFFFFF to make it white, for instance. Look up hex codes on the internet to find the colour you want :)

Yes, Fillip, I'm on GoDaddy.

The only 2 people who have reported this problem is hosted by GoDaddy - it would seem as if GoDaddy has an issue with their servers.

While two points make a line, not a pattern, it's still a bit much of a coincidence.

Thanks in advance!If you need a Dedicated server, we can wholeheartedly recommend https://hivelocity.net/ :)
If your site is more sized towards a VPS, Hivelocity has launched https://www.sparknode.com/ which does Cloud and VPS hosting.

We've been with them for over 18 months now, and their support is nothing short of stellar.

If you choose to go for any of these solutions, you can mention to their sales team you were sent there by DragonByte Tech and they will give you a discount, or you can PM Decado over at our forums with your needs to have him get in touch with them for you and maybe get a bigger one sorted for you :)

vBulletin itself does not have any flood check against normal page requests built in, so if that's what it takes to bring down your server then it could happen on any random page with sufficiently large queries, such as showthread or memberlist with specially crafted parameters.

So probably the wrong place to ask this since i'm running on vb 3.6, but for whatever reason i can't get it to display on my forums...

[DragonByte Tech]

Unfortunately vB 3.6 is not supported by this mod :(

[YOODA230]

How can I change the location of the text editing box to put it up or to the right?

Fillip

Oh, guess it's just like vb 3.8 and up? Cause there's a folder for vb 3.

[DragonByte Tech]

That's correct, we've only tested it on vBulletin 3.8 :)

Fillip

[Level Lord]

hello,

I have the same problem is it on compatibility mode of Internet Explorer when it is switched on.

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah, vBShout is not designed to work on IE7.

If your skin requires the IE Compatibility Header turned on, please contact your skin developer for an updated version that works in browsers released after 2006 :)

[DGrey2011]

For the Lite Version is there a way to disable the Active Users tab in the shoutbox?

It loads very slowly when switching from the Shoutbox tab to the Active Users one and the other way around.

Thank you!

[DragonByte Tech]

It can't be disabled in any version, Lite or Pro.

If you turn off the Context Menu via the options in the Instance Management screen, does that improve performance?

Fillip

[DGrey2011]

No improvement even if I turn off Context Menu. Everything goes well until you switch tabs, then it loads really slowly, it's almost stuck.

I thought I can remove some part of the code so that the Active users won't be displayed as tab.

[FrancescaJ]

I am running vB 4.1.6.
I have members from all over the world.
I had Shoutbox version 5.4.8, and some members could not see the shoutbox - these members are scattered all over including the U.S.
So about 2 weeks ago I updated to version 6.0.8. Now more people cannot see the box, including those that already couldn't see it.

Assuming most people have updated browsers, is there a known reason why not everyone can see the box?

Thank you!

[DragonByte Tech]

Have you set a minimum posts limitation on the Shoutbox maybe?

Fillip

[betts02]

Can i ask when you report a chat how do you know its been reported ?

Ive tried it but can not see where the report has gone

Many thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

There's a tab in the shoutbox itself called "Unhandled Reports" which will show a number greater than 0 when there's unhandled reports :)


Fillip

[betts02]

It is possible to change the positioning of the tabs ?

Where the "Shout Box" is the default chat romm and i have members as a tab for members chat

I want to swap these around so the default chat is the members chat room and the "Shout Box" is the 2nd tab

Is this possible ?

Prob not possibile but i figured to try anyways.

Is it possible to have 2 different chatboxes on different skins.

My users want the plain old chatbox on a dark skin so they can use it mobile.. while my browser users want to use this chatbox because of its features.

So is that possible?

You can configure different colors for the shoutBox for different vBulletin themes. However, if users using different themes are using the same shoutBox, you end up wanting to make them the same color anyway (unless you force the users to a single color when typing).

To give you an example, my site has a light theme and a dark theme. Originally I had changed the shoutbox colors to match the themes. But the people on the light theme would use dark colors for their texts, and the dark themers would use light colors, so the different groups would have a hard time reading each others' texts ;)

I ended up going with a middle-to-dark color theme for the shoutBox so that both groups were using the same background and could choose appropriate colors.

vBShout v6.1.0

Improved Shout Templates

Shout templates (for Shouts, /me, PMs and System Messages) are loaded from the main Shoutbox template
Takes up less browser memory than old JS templates
Uses jQuery Templates to achieve the same functionality of the old rendered templates
Offers greater customisation options without worrying about breaking fragile JavaScript code


Improved JavaScript Performance

Leverages more advanced jQuery usage to reduce the time it takes to perform JavaScript operations
Takes up less browser memory as less time is needed to search for the elements in question


Improved Context Menu

Context Menu is always enabled for every user, offering the same quick links to member profiles and username auto-fill
Zero performance impact from using it - no longer increases bandwidth usage / data transferred with each AJAX request
Uses jQuery Templates to achieve the same functionality of the old rendered templates
Offers greater customisation options without worrying about breaking fragile JavaScript code


(vB3) Modern Shoutbox Editor Controls

Colour Picker now uses the same "modern" look as the vB4 version of the mod
Font Face Picker now uses the same "modern" look as the vB4 version of the mod
Font Size Picker now uses the same "modern" look as the vB4 version of the mod
CSS-based editor controls rather than table-based


(vB3) CSS Loader

File loader that outputs the 3 CSS files from templates
Browser cacheable
Improves crawlability


General / Other

Fix: Display Order in the Instance Management screen was using the wrong input type.
Fix: Opening lots of context menus without reloading the page would add "infinite HTML" to the page over time, taking up unneeded memory
Change: Improved RTL support
Change: Removed the ability to turn off the Context Menu, to eliminate confusion

Filip,

[FrancescaJ]

Sorry for the late-ish reply...
I don't see a "minimum posts limitation" setting.
I have "shouts to display" set to 75, and "minimum time between shouts" set to 3.

One of the people who can't see the box has a completely up to date gaming computer, so that makes it stranger that he can't see it.

Giving the users the option to choose either skin and use either chatboxHere's the canned reply for putting the SB in a custom location:

To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).


Now instead of editing ALL skins, edit only the skin you want THIS shoutbox to appear in.

I have "shouts to display" set to 75, and "minimum time between shouts" set to 3.Ah, sorry that's a Pro-only option, my bad :(

Are there any common denominators between the users who report they can't see it? Using a particular skin, all members of the same usergroup(s), etc?

Hello,

which stylevar use DBTech for font-size? I have a really smal font-size on my them and i want to make them bigger but dont know how.

Maybe you can tell me the font-size, which vBShout use?

[Makaveli007]

Is there a way to have all the files served as part of this mod to only be served to members that are logged in?

The reason I ask is because my site usually has a number of guests online, and guests cannot view the shoutbox. Even though the shoutbox is completely disabled for guests, a number of files still load for guests including:

dbtech_vbshout.css
dbtech_vbshout_colours.css
dbtech_vbshout_editor.css
jquery.tmpl.min.js
vbshout.js?v=610

They are not very big files, but they are still 3 additional CSS and 2 additional Java files that each person must load, on every page.

Additionally, each person do not have to load them on every page, as the browser's cache will have cached the files thus making the effective time to load them zero :)

I am not DBT but I can help you since I am here.

You can do this by putting the below code in one of your common templates such as header or footer. If you have more than one shoutbox, change the number at the end to match your instance. A good place for it would be at the very bottom of the header template, or very top of the footer template.

{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}

[Menno11]

Thx voor your anser.
But it will not work..

I put this on the top of the footer.
and in the header..

any idey what i do wrong ?

Menno

[Mr von]

@Makaveli007
That's not quite right.

@Menno11
So it is correct.

Editing Instance: Shoutbox
Display Settings auf nicht aktiv setzen

navbar template editing
"Varname" for example {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} seen in
Editing Instance: Shoutbox

search:
<div id="breadcrumb" class="breadcrumb">
<ul class="floatcontainer">
<li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li>
{vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb}
{vb:raw navbits.lastelement}
</ul>
<hr />
</div>

<div class="welcomearea">
<div class="welcome_right">
<div class="welcome_padding">

<div class="welcome_image">
<iframe width="375" height="210" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sWMhADqlPYg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

insert below
{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}

Now it will be seen everywhere. :)

Thx Mr Von.

It's work fine.

Alright. Well I went on the official DBTech website and download the Version before the latest and tried installing that. Almost everything was fixed. The newest version does not blend with my theme and makes everything a color that cannot be seen. The Time format color is black, and the default color is black (When I go to the version below the latest, the default color matches my forum perfectly like before.) I did figure out how to edit the Time format colors by doing what you said, but the only way to change the default color was to add html color tags around the message inside of the template or whatever. This did work, however doing this essentially disables the ability to change your font color.

Bottom line something in the newest version isn't blending with my theme, all the version before that blend fine.

The actual shouts' background area works off of the postbit_background StyleVar.

Hope my problem will be solved.Run the following query: drop table if exists dbtech_vbshout_instance and then try again :)

Fillip,

I know you are very busy but could please explain this a little more.

Works OK in the default skin. I've changed the setting you suggested. Where else could it be breaking?Unfortunately I have no idea - you'll need to contact your skin developer :(


Fillip

[CybertronWizard]

Run the following query: drop table if exists dbtech_vbshout_instance and then try again :)

Fillip

Thanks man it worked...

Cheers

[CybertronWizard]

Need one more help,
If one user choose one color in Shout box he is getting the same color for other users shout even they choose different color.

That does not happen in v6.1.0, please ensure you're running the latest version :)

[Gary_Oak]

Hi Fillip,

I was able to install the Shoutbox perfectly fine and it;s working great, but it tells me and my members from time to time that there is an "Error: You don't have permission to make a shout" or something like that. I installed this last night, and so far it's happened once to myself today, once to another member today, and once last night to another member, but after about 5 minutes or so it goes away, and once I logged into my ACP it went away for me too, while it went away automatically after about 2 minutes or so for them.

The permissions have been set to allowing all users that are not unregistered or nit logged in or banned to be able to access the shoutbox and post shouts. Any idea why this is happening?

[DragonByte Tech]

There's nothing in the mod that I can think of that would randomly change permissions - the checks are 100% identical each time they're run.

Error messages appear for 5 seconds before disappearing - did you mean the issue itself persisted for 2-5 minutes?

Fillip

[CybertronWizard]

Hello Filip..
I am using the latest version but even I am getting that error.Check in the attachment for the proof of latest version.

[DragonByte Tech]

In that case, please PM me with an FTP account and an AdminCP account, so I can try to get to the bottom of this :)

Fillip

Well I'm not so sure it is the permissions randomly being changed as it is that when you become idle instead of giving yo the option to become un-idle it glitches and instead treats you as a non-logged in user, just a thought though because I found it strange that it accepted my posts right after I logged in to my AdminCP.

Yes, it kept on going until I logged into my ACP and then it just magically went away. As for my members, I would assume it happened for about 2-5 minutes, yes.

[DragonByte Tech]

Ah, do you have Remember Me on? If not, that may be the issue.

Fillip

[Gary_Oak]

Well I told them to try that, and I logged out and logged back in with that enabled. So far they don't seem to be having anymore problems, and I have yet to encounter another session-log-out with the Shoutbox even though up until now I haven't had Remember Me on at all so the problem only occurred once and never came back for me at least. One guy who was using his Wii to access it kept having the problem and so I told him to log out and log back in with the Remember Me on. So far it seems to be working. If I have any more issues with it I will be sure to ask you.

Thanks for the help Fillip!

[DragonByte Tech]

No problem, thanks for the confirmation :D

At this point in time I don't believe I can make the mod compatible with temporary sessions (i.e. without that box) - to do so would mean breaking the WOL (users would never be seen as inactive, giving a false impression of who's actually online).


Fillip

[Gary_Oak]

My pleasure, happy to help :D

Yeah that is true, because then it would record everyone who has ever been online as still being online, which is definitely a false impression of that. On the other hand, you could make it work with longer temporary sessions if you wanted to, to give users who haven't checked that box to have a longer time online before they are considered to be logged out.

[scorpss]

Hi bro , i have a big probleme :( , i installed and configured my shoutbox , but my forum freeze (Bug) for som seconde each refresh page on forum home ! (shoutbox loading and during the loading time , all forum freeze (can't move anything (bug) )

someone have an idea why ,? ... :(

[DragonByte Tech]

That's not a bug - your computer sounds like it's very old and can't handle advanced AJAX scripts. How old is it?

Fillip

[scorpss]

euh lol? i got my PC 1 month ago , its an very higher ASUS portable PC !

not my pc , but all members told me the same probleme ! pc bug when we get at forum home when shout box loading ... :(

[DragonByte Tech]

Have you set a very high number of shouts to be fetched with each refresh?

Fillip

[killa seven]

hello I installed this and I am not getting access to the notifications tab, I have the highest permissions on the board and still never get access, I do get some errors in my email that says.

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'phrasegroup_dbtech_usertag' in 'field list'

I also got this one

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'phrasegroup_dbtech_vbshout' in 'field list'

I checked the language table and those fields where there.

the shoutbox works I just don't get to edit the notification settings for some reason.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/12/26.png

I just get a blank message everytime i click on the notification settings.

[DragonByte Tech]

Is this an upgrade or a fresh install? Are you sure you dragged and dropped the contents of the upload folder to your forum folder exactly as described?

Also, to fix those SQL errors, re-import the XML files for AUT and vBShout.

Fillip

hello, I uninstalled it, everything was working fine before then, when I re installed everything these problems occurred. everything was uploaded and I installed the xml... what is AUT?

[DragonByte Tech]

AUT is Advanced User Tagging - one of the error messages indicates that you either have it installed or have had it installed but did not remove all the files when you uninstalled it.

Fillip

[killa seven]

yeagh I imported those XML files only leads to the same problem, the link that is being called is vbshout.php?do=permissions

i checked my permissions and everything.

i think i may have some duplicate url issues because we recently switched host but everything was working until i did the uninstall/reinstall. it's the notification feature that is messing up.

edits.

i just changed the url to vbshout.php?do=notifications and it worked don't know whats up with the other way.

I figured out the problem, it was when I clicked sign out it still showed the shoutbox even though I was signed out. when I changed pages to the forum front page it was gone as I was a guest.


Thanks for replying madness, problem solved.

That means you have another mod that is using invalid JS code on your forum. This mod is preventing vBShout from working because all JS execution ends as soon as an error is detected.

It seems to be the top 10 stats mod that's the culprit. Also, another mod is using something called "mootools.js" - no idea which mod that is. That mod is also creating errors, as is your viglink integration.

Hello. First let me say another great mod from Dragonbyte. I did have one question though. In the instance management panel it gives a piece of code that you can insert into the navbar template to have the shoutbox appear on every page. I've tried this in various locations on the template but I can't get the shoutbox to appear anywhere but on the main forum page. Is there a specific place on the navbar template that the code needs to appear on?

My members asked for two issues I souldn´t solve. Is it possible to start the chat de-collapsed as default and how can I run the shoutbox in a separate tab?

[Makaveli007]

@DragonByte Tech

How can we change the background color of the colorbutton, font selector, and font size selector menu's?

It doesnt seem to be related to the other popupmenu background color stylevars, because I have a dark style, with all my popup menu's dark, however these 3 menus in the shoutbox are still white in the background.

I have gone through all the popupmenu & editormenu stylevars, and all the dbtech/css templates and cant find it anywhere.

Thanks

Love this mod and just installed it for yet another forum. They would like to make a couple of minor tweaks if possible. The first is they would like to remove the timestamp from the shoutbox as it takes up too much space for mobile users. Can that be done without editing the timestamp in the Date and Time options? The second is they would like to move the input box from the left to underneath the shouts, for the same space reasons.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Finally got time to read and noticed both are options in the paid version.
