Chat for vb5 forum

[mdawg]

DragonByte shoutbox might have neared the end of its life for vb 5 since it is not working in vb 5.6.2 unless I find that this is related to a server setting.

What chats are available and updated for vb5 ?

VbShout is no longer working with vB 5.6.5 - I am still running PhP 7.4.25 for my vb5 forums have not upgraded to 8 yet.

I get this error:

unexpected_error,Call to undefined method vB_UserContext::getReadChannels()


and the shouts will not load.

I noticed something like this same error on this website, too:

Unfortunately, after an upgrade to vBulletin 5.6.5, the vBShout no longer works as we know. Have the same configuration as mdawg. Many of my forum members ask why the shoutbox is offline and have even left the site because there is no shoutbox. Sent an email to the programmer a week ago but they never respond to emails I heard before.

Anyone with a solution to this problem? Or is there an alternative?
Thanks in advance!

Perhaps yilmaz may help?

From what I can see, these modifications (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2607726&postcount=601) will enable vbshout to work on vb 5.6.5 running something like PhP 7.4
If you try to run it with PhP 8 even with these modifications you'll get a new error,

unexpected_error,Unsupported operand types: string - int

and vbshouts will not load.
