vB Chatbox 1.2.4

[Dennis B]

p0s3id0n,

Can I force the reduced mode? I thought of this to (1) save bandwidth and (2) merge the chatbox into my welcome panel.

Merci.

[Dennis B]

Never mind... I just realized that in reduced mode users can't chat at all... I'll figure out how to customize the big box. Sorry.

[p0s3id0n]

for the first one, i just anwsered :
@ DOTS : look at the chatbox template, you just need to
change the width parameter of the iframe tag.:p

and to have the chatbox reduced by default, the simplest way
would be to execute the following query :
ALTER TABLE user CHANGE chatbox chatbox TINYINT( 4 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL
and maybe if you want to switch all your members to a reduced
chatbox execute also the folowing query :
UPDATE user SET chatbox = 0


~~edit~~
you're welcolme ;)

[Dennis B]

Would new members get the reduced chatbox by default as well...?

[Dennis B]

p0s3id0n,

It seems like the iframe doesn't like to be inserted into a table... When I tried to put $chatbox inside one of my welcome panel's tables it just got all over the other stuff... Any hints...?

Thanks.

[Dennis B]

Made it work... just removed the <center> tags... I promise I'll try stuff first and ask questions later from now on...

[p0s3id0n]

yes with the query i gave you, new members will have the
reduced chatbox by default...

As for the chatbox all wrong inside a table.... it must depend on
your table's parameters : width, height, nowrap, rows, cells.......

~~edit~~
nice to read it works ;)...

[Dennis B]

Oh, it's a major add-on to my forum, members have been asking for it. Congrats for the great work. :cool:

[Dennis B]

p0s3id0n,

If you want to check out the final result, take a look here (http://htforum.com/vb). Very nice.

Is it possible to make the reduced version diplay the last 3 posts instead of just the very last one?

Thanks,

[Erwin]

by the way, really nice mini chatbox :)...

[Dennis B]

Thanks Erwin and thanks p0s3id0n. ;)

[Dennis B]

Actually guys, the links in the first page don't work directly. It's all in terms of "shout_box", must be an earier version. I could go ahead and just replace all "shout..." with "chat...", but I'm wondering if there's something else that changed with the latest releases.

thanks...

@ x-fan : i think i'll make another archive of this hack in
zip format since it seems that some people can't extract rar.

Thanks p0s3id0n! Let us know when the new archive is posted.

[p0s3id0n]

here it is updated in zip format :)

[NuclioN]

Maybe i've overlooked it but is there a way to prevent guests reading the shoutbox? Tnx in advance.

[Dennis B]

NuclioN,

Just ban the user [space] in your chatbox control panel. That's just hitting the spacebar.

p0s3id0n & Erwin,

The code changes mentioned in posts # 68 and 70 in this thread (where the first post links point to) doesn't seem to help me get 5 messages in the "closed" version of the chatbox. I believe it must be because there has been some change to the code, since the code posted refers to "shout" stuff instead of "chat" stuff. :(

I've tried to insert $chatbit .= "<br>"; in two places to match the code you posted, but it didn't work. What I have now is
}else{
$chat_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($chat_result);
$name = $chat_row["name"];
$comment = $chat_row["comment"];
$date = $chat_row["date"];
$date = date("Y") . "-" . substr($date, 4, 2) . "-" . substr($date, 1, 2) . " " . substr($date, 7, 2) . ":" . substr($date, 10, 2);
$date = date("[d/m|H:i]", strtotime($date) + ($bbuserinfo['timezoneoffset'] * 3600));
$comment = parseurl($comment);
$comment = ereg_replace("sessionhash=[a-z0-9]{32}", "", $comment);
$comment = ereg_replace("s=[a-z0-9]{32}", "", $comment);
$comment = bbcodeparse($comment);
$comment = str_replace("<br />"," ",$comment);
$comment = str_replace("<br>"," ",$comment);
$comment = swear($comment);
if(substr($comment,0,3) == "/me"){
$comment = stripslashes(substr($comment,3));
eval("\$chatbit = \"".gettemplate('chatbox_bit_me')."\";");
$chatbit .= "<br>";
}else{
$colorirc = $un_color_chat;
$comment = stripslashes($comment);
eval("\$chatbit = \"".gettemplate('chatbox_bit')."\";");
$chatbit .= "<br>";
}
eval("\$chatbox = \"".gettemplate('chatbox_fermee')."\";");
}
}


plus post #70's code, but it doesn't work. :(

Thanks for any advice.

[wolfman]

Well I still have no smilies in the smilie popup for the shoutbox anyone have any ideas what may be causing this problem?

[geezzaa]

I got the same problem. all i got is a chat window. i dont have anything like the screenshot in the first post.
can you help please.
the chatwindow is www.ukcultivator.biz

[p0s3id0n]

@ Dennis B : i'm going to edit the post whe i give the tip about
the 5 chats thing.

@ geezzaa : i went as a guest on your forum, and everything
seems to work fine for me, what did you think there should
have been on your main forum page ? (by the way : nice topic,
your board ;)).

[geezzaa]

Thanks . ;)
I managed to get it working. Im a bit new to this.
How do i get the window with the fonts selection and smilies as shown on your screen shot in the first post.
Its certainly looking better than what i had on my forum pages earlier

[lioncool1589]

any command i could ban user from shoutbox without go in admin control panel

[wolfman]

Well at www.groom-family.com/forum I have tried removing this hack and re installing it, but I still can not get the smilies to come up inthe popup window.

[superman]

can someone give me instructions on how to manually do this chmod 777 thing? I have no clue what to do :\ please help!!

PHP NOOOB!

oh yeah and there is also no optiosn in the admin cp to do antying, I can't find it anywhere :\ so can you tell me what to do?

[Dennis B]

p0s3id0n,

Unfortunately it's not displaying 5 posts, it's displaying only the 5th from last post... :(

[Dennis B]

superman,

You have to FTP to your server and either do it manually if you're working off a command line or use your FTP progarm's built-in funtions. For example on coffecup FTP, if you click the right button on the file, you get the option "change permission" and just go ahead and click on all boxes.

[Dennis B]

wolfman,

Have you edited you chatbox_saisie template?

It should have this function next to the beginning (unedited)

function ouvresmil(){
var NewFen = true;
if(winsmilies != null)if(!winsmilies.closed)NewFen = false;
if (NewFen)winsmilies = window.open("chatbox.php?page_chat=popupsmil&s=","Smilies","left=600,top=0,width=400,height=550,scrollbars=yes ,status=no,directories=no,toolbar=no,location=no,r esizable=yes,menuBar=no");
else{
winsmilies.window.resizeTo(400,550);
winsmilies.window.moveTo(600,0);
winsmilies.window.location.replace("chatbox.php?page_chat=popupsmil&s=");
}
winsmilies.focus();
}

and a line close to the end calling the ouvresmil javascript.

[wolfman]

Actually that pretty much broke it though I just noticed that I am using a slightly older version of this 1.2.2

[wolfman]

OK I went and uninstalled 1.2.2 (its ok I will kick myself in the butt) and installed the latest version 1.2.4 and works great :) and not a single problem and was able to import the post in the shoutbox back for a minimal loss for my users.

[p0s3id0n]

@ wolfman : nice to hear all is right now :)

@ Dennis B : i just forgot two dots :(... just edited the post
with the code, do the copy paste once again, and it should
be ok :).

[wolfman]

I think I can safely say that this is the most used feature/hack that I have added to my forum, if its down at all I hear about it from the users :)

[geniuscrew]

Hey p0s3id0n

My problem was that my oh-so-lovely multi-filetype decompressor decided that it didn't want to extract .RAR files

So, can someone please convert it to .ZIP format?

Thanks

[p0s3id0n]

Hey geniuscrew, like i said a little bit earlier i changed the
archive to a zip one :), so everything should be ok :).

the rar archive i put was a v3 rar which is not compatible with
zip or ace decompressors :(.

[jancarlo]

@ p0s3id0n, allego una gif così capisci meglio il mio problema.

ummm what .phps do I do that on? I did it on the admin index adn the root index, but nothing is happening, how do I do this manual chmod 777 thing, just explain how to do it, like gimme the line to add or replace.. if you can thanks :)

[p0s3id0n]

the file on which you need to change the attributes is chatbox_config.php.

[Insideout]

Possibly a daft question, but i am a newbie.
I want to make the shoutbox as a pop up. i found this data by clicking the link.
<center><normalfont><a href="java script:;" onclick="window.open('shoutbox. php','shout','status=0,directories=0,toolbar=0,loc ation=0,menuBar=0,scrollbars=0

Where is this pasted ? and in what file please.

[lioncool1589]

how i make shoutbox only registered users(not Users Awaiting Email Confirmationcan) can use shoutbox
i have some stupid ppl keep spam on my shoutbox

[msimplay]

i got a bit of a problem
the shoutbox time doesn;t seem to match my forum time

how do i change the shoutbox time to match my forum time ?

[Insideout]

The icons selection or minimise are not showing so i cant add smilies or text styles. any ideas?

[Dennis B]

Insideout,

Read page #17 of this thread. ;)

[Insideout]

ok i know what to do now. but errrr i cant find chatbox_saisie template anywhere. what directory should it be in

[Insideout]

Hi ok.
I found the sassy template, Soz very new to this vb thang.
Ok i have changed the value of width to 300. Unfortunately It hasnt changed the chat box to show the smilies or minimise button.

Heres a portion of the template. The change i made is in red

var winsmilies, winvb;

function raz(){
bouate.message.value="";
}

function ouvresmil(){
var NewFen = true;
if(winsmilies != null)if(!winsmilies.closed)NewFen = false;
if (NewFen)winsmilies = window.open("chatbox.php?page_chat=popupsmil&s=","Smilies","left=600,top=0,width=300 ,height=550,scrollbars=yes,status=no,directories=n o,toolbar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,menuBar=no");

For what its worth even though its not working correctly i am very impressed at this hack..thanks

[Dennis B]

Insideout,

You've changed the width of the simlie pop-up.

Look for this code futher down the chatbox_saisie template and change the size parameter:

<body bgcolor="$fondchatbox">
<form name="bouate" action="chatbox.php" method="post" target="chat" onsubmit="setTimeout('raz()',100)">
<input type="hidden" name="setting" value="save">
<input type="hidden" name="page_chat" value="chat">
&nbsp;<input type="text" name="message" size="25" maxlength="255"> <input type="submit" value="ok">

[Dennis B]

p0s3id0n,

Could you quickly review the logic of the modified code in post # 68 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=292014#post292014) cause I keep getting a parse error...

Also, on page 17 of this thread you told me how to do a couple of queries to make the chatbox appear reduced by default, but actually what's happening after the queries is that the chatbox appears at the last state when I left. Explaining better, if I left the forum yesterday in "expanded" mode, that's what I get when I logged back in this morning. Had I left in "reduced" mode, that would have appeared today. What I want is that every time a user logs in, the chatbox appears in reduced mode. Can you tell me how to do that...?

Merci

[Insideout]

Dennis B.
Thank you mate. Im up and running and my forum has a new lease of life.

[Dennis B]

np. ;)

[sHORTYWZ]

wonderful hack, wondering if there was a way to disable vbcode in it however?

I have some users who find it funny to post images =)

Thanks.

[Dennis B]

sHORTYWZ,

In the template chatbox_saisie this is the line where the vB codes are alled:

<a href="java script: ouvrevb() ;"><img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/vbcodes.gif" border="0" alt="vBcodes" align="absmiddle"></a>

(there are some extra spaces in this line that should be ignored)

You can either remove (or comment it out) completely, but you'll lose the icon in the box as well, or you can remove or substitute these

<a href="java script: ouvrevb() ;"> ... </a>

with something else to keep the icon.

[alzibub]

I could be as thick as whipped cream here (one is a newbie !)...

I have looked through all 21 pages here and seen fleeting comments to the question but cannot seem to find the fix.... so here goes...

How do you allow Unregistered/not signed in etc users to post a shout ?
I noticed when I tried it came out blank :disappointed:

Logged in etc it works fine !!

After overcoming the time zone hack (server in Hong Kong, Located in UK and most visitors from states!) this is a quality hack !!

Merci Beaucoup Mon ami, c'est splendid !!

[sHORTYWZ]

all that's gonna do is remove the button though isn't it?

users can still type the code in manually..

i'm also now having problems with users using html.. any way to block that out as well? :)

[sHORTYWZ]

also found a bug

I have a user who's name is "Weir T'karr"

the sql query checking for banned users comes up invalid because of the ' in his name:

select user from chatbox_ban where user = 'Weir T'karr'
:mysql error: you have an error in your sql syntax blah blah - near 'karr'' at line 1.

[grog6]

@ sHORTYWZ : In chatbox.php, find

$result = $DB_site->query("SELECT user FROM chatbox_ban WHERE user = '$bbuserinfo[username]'");

and replace $bbuserinfo[username] with :

".addslashes($bbuserinfo[username])."

Should remove your probleme ;)

[sHORTYWZ]

looks like it worked, thanks!

onto my next question.. anyway to disable bbcode/html? :)

[sHORTYWZ]

another bug, same user:

Invalid SQL: SELECT id FROM chatbox WHERE date LIKE '[31/03|19:%' AND name = 'Weir T'karr' AND comment = ':p '
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'karr' AND comment = ':p '' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

[p0s3id0n]

aaaaaaaarrrggghhhh F*CK !!!

i knew i forgot something when i updated that script :(
i'm sorry, i'll have to udpate the script, to correct those
bugs with the ', just two or three addslashes, but that
must be done.
since i'm very busy, it could take a day or two, but i
wont forget :).

Hello
was wondering

[Coyii]

I have been trying to modify the chatbox so that it is in a popup instead of on the main page. I tried using the code on pg 4 but I just keep getting "error on page" I did modify the code from shoutbox.php to chatbox.php and removed the space between "java script" and changed 'shout' to 'chat', cant seem to figure out what I am doing wrong.

I looked through all 21 pages of this thread and cant seem to find updated instructions on how to do this.

Has anyone done this?
Can anyone Help?

[kevin_r1]

Below is a database error message received when one of my user's attempts to minimize the chatbox:


Database error in vBulletin 2.3.0:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE user SET chatbox=0 WHERE username='User's Name' mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's Name'' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064


Let's say the user's name is User's Name. The error invokes because there is an apostrophe in the name itself. How do I account for this? Wouldn it be better to reference the user ID # as opposed to the actual name? If so, how do I do this.

There's another extra space in there - just go through and take out any extra spaces and it should work :)

[Sadie Frost]

This is a bit of a weird thing. When users submit their comment, when the page refreshes, the input box is gone so they have to reopen the chat to post another comment.

I'm sure I must jsut have missed some code, but I can't find it. If anyone would be so kind to take a look, I'd appreciate it :)

http://www.lotr-boards.com

username: test
password: test

Edit: Okay, here's the problem. I have it so that it shows minimized on my main page, and then when you click on the link it opens the chatbox in a new window.

For some people the chat is maximized on the main page and works fine. But if you close it, then click on the link again it opens the new window and that's where the problem is.

If that made any sense...

Edit Again:

The plot thickens. I believe I have something wrong in my popup code, because if you just type in domain/chatbox.php in the browser window it works fine.

This is what I have for the link to the popup:

<a href="javascript:"; onclick="window.open('chatbox.php','chat','status=0,directo ries=0,toolbar=0,location=0,menuBar=0,scrollbars=0 ,resizable=0,width=650,height=130,left=100,top=100 ');">

[noelmd2001]

i did a complete search on thir threa but did not seem to find any solution...

my shoutbox is workign great... right layout of the 'go' and icon buttons, members can post messages, right timestamp, smileys showing up in the pop-up box when the smiley icon is clicked...

however, only one problem ..

the smileys do not appear in the shoutbox box itself... but only their short cut words (eg. : ) , : ( , etc)?

i ahve checked everything and seemed to have everything right... but those smiling smileys don't appear where they should be smiling .. in the shoutbox itself...

btw... i put the shoutbox.php in an iframe to a frontpage that i am putting up.. so please excuse the page .. it is just a testing site for the frontpage to be set up...

2) is there a way to make the frame of the chatbox dynamic or will that screw things up?

*EDIT* Found the problem

[gmarik]

p0s3id0n, have some questions.

I reinstalled the hack three times, but it did not worked for me no more. The problem is - when clicking on the smilie icon, calling smilies page, the browser hangs on and does not replies any more. And another thing - I would realy respect (and would help, if needed), you could install the Embed PHP hack (Ed's?!) and instead of using iframe, just take a require function, so it will be faster and stable on all the browsers.

I would really appreaciate that, if somebody gets to it,

Marco, webmaxtor.com

[Keyser S?ze]

upgrade addon idea, add a box to allow attachments in the chatbox

would be cool, also a quick delete for mods and admins without having to go into the cp would be nice

[padblaz]

working great, i love this hack :)
thanks for it

[gmarik]

Chatbox wishlist
- add always on top smileys and code windows option
- replace framset with require php function
- add after every post [e] edit [d] delete link for super moderators and admins
- translate all variables from French to English
- an option to chat for Unregestired (if turned on)
- the panel added in vB Options, as vBhomelite, for example

[grog6]

This add-on adds an option in your Admin Control panel, to choose usergroups who will be able to access to the chatbox.
For users which usergroup is not allowed to access the chatbox in your ACP, it will not appear on your main page, but even if they try to access to it with the url (www.yourforum.com/chatbox.php), an error message will be display to show them it's not possible to access to this chatbox :-)

This hack was asked by Curl| in this thread :

Installed on 2.3.0 works like a charm! Have it so only admin can see it and it is wonderful! My question is for those who have been running this for a while, how much bandwidth will this chew through? It is truly awesome! Thank you grog as well for your group hack. :)

When u click the Close (or minimse) button we get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: swear() in J:\wwwroot\rsocbb\index.php on line 388

Other users can still us the box, until they click the close button.

Help as this stops us using the board

I am using this wil vb 2.3.2 www.abfnet.com/forum you may have either left the chatbox out of the template or placed it in the wrong place. Either of those will cause it to not show up.

I wonder if we could mod this or put this in a side block,, like to use with vbportal.

How can you make the name of the user a link to his/her profile. All I need is the php code to call out the id of the user. When I put the link say,

Oh, sound nice. Have you thought about guest chatting option with limited rights for limited time, so that new users would want to register after? :ermm:

Is it possible to have a more detailed Who is online, because it's always showing Is currently reading the chatbox. 15:33 and always the latest time, but it's not true. The times should be the last time user was active in the chat and it would be great, if it would show - does the user only reads or types an answer as it is in ICQ. :nervous:

how can i format this so its like another forum catigory, like the whose online, private messages

Hi

I am with a "Error 404: /forums/java_script_:; is not found at this location"

I have installed the "Chatbox" ok and I am trying to get it to run in a popup window.
I have added the following to the "Welcomepanel" hack in the "forumhome" template:
<a href="java_script_:;" onclick="window.open('chatbox.php','shout','status=0,direct ories=0,toolbar=0,location=0,menuBar=0,scrollbars= 0 ,resizable=0,width=650,height=130,left=100,top=100 ');"><b>Chatbox popup<b></a>

This brings up the popup window ok but I also get an "Error 404" on the page I have called the popup from.

This can be seen at http://www.carponline.com/forums
You can log in as guest with a password of guest.

Any help apreciated.

How can you make the chatbox show up on each page when you are surfing the forum....

http://ultimatesportsforums.com/forums/index.php?s=

It's not a good idea to add it in the header dupont ;)

The chatbox required a lot of bandwith coz of the refresh, and if your forum has a lot of members, it could really slow your forum. Be carreful with it

Hi:

My chatbox was working fine...then today, I went to admin to PRUNE some messages and it doesn't work!

I select all the messages I want to erase and doesn't matter which button I press, I get the log into admin form.
WHY? So I log in, then page reloads, blank screen. I have done this over 50 times, cleared cache, close browser, delete cookies, etc. I even REINSTALLED the chatbox and it's still giving me the same thing :(

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

$date = $get["date"];

$date = date("Y") . "-" . substr($date, 4, 2) . "-" . substr($date, 1, 2) . " " . substr($date, 7, 2) . ":" . substr($date, 10, 2);
