vBChat v2.3

[oldengine]

(Version 2.2)

First user comment: Any way to change the size of the chat window?

Need a way to force dump a user from the RH list, when you "know" they've left. Apparently the script can't catch certain exit methods. Although I did notice that this user was cleared within a minute or two.

Need smaller type on "Sent Private Chat Message" - will look at templates.

[Zero Tolerance]

When you make the edit to the navbar, you will see a JS function, here you will find something along the lines of:

width='+window.screen.width+',height='+window.scre en.height+'

Change this to:

width=#,height=#

And yes, make sure when you input numebrs dont put single quotes around them, and also percentages won't work i believe.

- Zero Tolerance

[oldengine]

Is it possible to leave the click and drag resizing available to the user?

Also, I added more items to the post above.

Thanks!

[Zero Tolerance]

Where you editied the width and height, add:

resizable=yes

As for "[user] Leaves Room", and them being removed from the Users In vBChat List, it will only work properly if the user has the pop-up blocker disabled, so it would be wise to ask your members to disable it for your site :)

- Zero Tolerance

[oldengine]

The resizable is good. Unfortunately, on my screen, the highth of the chat window is so tall that I cannot reach the lower right corner or the bottom to drag in the height. The width works fine.

I should mention that I am using IE6.

[Zero Tolerance]

Well it depends what you set the width/height to.

How about pressing the "Maximize" button next to close in the window?

- Zero Tolerance

[oldengine]

Quite likely that I'm missing something. There is no "close" or "maximize" button, so I may have someting missing from a template.

[Zero Tolerance]

I meant the close/maximize/minimize buttons that are on your window itself.

- Zero Tolerance

[oldengine]

Aaaaccckkk! That was a big Duh! Sorry.

No, maximizing and minimizing does not allow reaching the lower right corner for resizing.

[Zero Tolerance]

What value's did you put in for the height and width?

I upgraded to v2.x from 1.x but now the header, navbar, etc are gone? I added $header
$navbar
...manually in the CHAT template but it shows the chat part wider than the screen. I did not modify any other template but even checked the chat_main template is 100% width as it should be and by default. How do I correct this?

[Zero Tolerance]

It's supposed to not have a header and footer, since its a pop up window now :)

Ok I reversed it but is there a way to insert it within the site like it was in teh old version?

[Chadi]

By the way, how do I create / add rooms (not user created but admin) and are the forum mods automatically mods on this chat as well? Where do I find the codes/functions to ban and such? Thanks for your work!

[SVTOA]

Ok I reversed it but is there a way to insert it within the site like it was in teh old version?


The whole idea of how ZT coded the new version is so you can use the EXIT command and close the chat window. You really don't want the navbar, because the chat is supposed to be a stand-alone popup.

[Zero Tolerance]

Click on vBChat Help for a list of all commands.
Click on Create vBChat to create a new room.

And forum mods? Not sure what you mean exactly but i'll say no anyway.

[oldengine]

What value's did you put in for the height and width?800X600 works fine and lets me resize.
function OpenvBChat(){
vBChat = window.open('/forum/vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]','vBChat','directories=no,height=600,width=800,lo cation=no,resizable=yes,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes, status=no,toolbar=no')
I'm not sure if this is the answer, but it works on my browser. Normal is 1024X768 on my screen. Even so, many text items could be shortened or in a smaller font.

also, how would one shrink the font size on these items?
<td height='1%'><b>Current Users:</b></td>

<td class='alt2' align='center'><a href='javascript:MsgUser(\"{$UserIN['userid']}\");' title='Send A Private Chat Message To {$UserIN['username']}'>Send Pvt Msg</a></td>

[Zero Tolerance]

That sort of text would need to be shortened in your style's CSS definition.

If your unsure i ask you contact the author of the skin about that.

I still get a red X for one of my smilies. The URL that it always tries to load is http://www.domainname.com/forum/ All the other smilies work fine. Also with 2.2, when a user clicks on vbchat, it doesn't open in a new window but rather replaces the vbulletin window.

Overall, everything is really great. However, it does stutter and stammer once in a while. I think this happens if the sender clicks something else on the page and then goes back to the type line. Things get out of sorts. It's like an unwanted automatic carriage return between words.

The problem with the single red X seems to only manifest itself in IE and not in FireFox.

Click where? I tried clicking every where possible, and it doesn't do it. Of course, if you click on the Change Room, or create room and then come back in the room, the post line is erased, but I was expecting that.

The only time I notice something similar, was before ZT fixed the IE problem, when I was uploading the vBChat.php file with the small changes I was doing. Haven't seen this since then, and none of my users complained.

1. To fix the red smilie problem, go to your acp, vbchat options, and look for the one that says if you have a smilie problem, set that to yes, it should fix it ;)

2. Re-do the navbar template edit and the FORUMHOME template edit so that all links open in a pop up instead of in the same window.

This seems to be occuring for those on slower machines, after a while there CPU runs slowly since the system refreshes the hidden iframes every 8 seconds, unfortunatly my pc is far from slow so i myself have been unable to emulate this problem, but i have seen it occur with one of my members, who has a slow PC, i guess i'll have to wait for more information on how this occurs.

I installed vbchat on my test board and it seems to be working just grand. One thing I haven't gotten straight yet is, I can not find the admin cp for the vbchat. I don't see a link anyplace in my forum admincp. I went over the install directions like 5 times before turning in and now this morning I need some help on what I might have missed.
The program is working just fine, have the link in the nabar and can use the chat, but I thought there was an admin area to changer some settings. Any help would be appreciated. I'll go get some coffee and look things over again myself.

Thanks,

That was one of the first things I did. I still get one red X.

I also now have a problem where one user is apparently stuck as being in the chat room. How do I fix that?

My server is a dedicated Dell PowerEdge with dual 2 GHz Xeons, 1gig of ram, dual 73gig scsi drives and 2000gig of bandwidth. My home PC is a Dell Dimension 8200 Pentium 4 at 1.8GHz and 512Mb ram on cable modem.

This situation has happened to me a couple of times and I couldn't explain why. A Control F5 or Control R cleared the problem. while it was happening, it was like an automatic "Enter" key followed every word that I typed in the Post Message line. Later, it happened to another user and that is when I copied the flow of events posted above.

I will be alert next time, but fortunately it hasn't happened much. Hopefully, just an intermittant fluke. Otherwise, EXCELLENT!

It's possible that one of your emoticons is incorrectly set up, check them out :)

As for a user being stuck, could you be more specific, they can just choose another chat room, IE: the default one.

@ oldengine - Server stats make no difference, i wouldn't of thought, in any case, thanks for letting me know, i look forward to squashing this bug :)

@ vauge - Full screen or bigger than your actual moniter?

I checked them out and they all appear in the vbulletin control panel.

As for a user getting stuck, we only have one main chatroom right now and this guy hasn't been logged on for at least 12 hours but still shows up on 'users in vbchat" on forumhome. How can I clear this?

[vauge]

Was able to recreate the bug mentioned by oldengine.

It does not like ' or " ... then the next user will seem to press enter after every word or longer pause.

Try editing one of your emoticons, so vBulletin re-builds cache. Also ensure your using the latest vBulletin version released.

As for the user been locked in, run this query:
delete from vb3_sessions
Change "vb3_" to your SQL prefix.

So your saying when someone uses the word "or" in a sentance? I highly doubt it, what is entered has no effect on result, only if commands are entered.

installed as instructed in the options - upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2.

the window in IE is NOT adjustable, which was how i took it to be in the upgrade?

either way, its still full screen on my monitor 1280x1024 on a 19" tft.

not tested it in firefox as yet.
other than the window size problem, the hack is the dogs knackers m8

**EDIT**

checked it out in firefox, and the window opens up MAXXED out on the screen..ie, as if maximized.

Can you change it to allow resizing? Currently will not let me resize in IE.

No, I used the word 'costs' actually. Then it happened to him. He left chat and came back - I retyped my sentence and used the word 'costs' again. It happened again. It also happened with more than one contraction in a sentense. Single contraction in a sentence did not yield the error.

We chatted for about an hour previously, then about 20 mins after these apostrophe/quote tests without error.

In short, could dual apostrophe's or quote's cause the issue?

[oldengine]

I also now have a problem where one user is apparently stuck as being in the chat room. How do I fix that?
Could it be that this user has Javascript turned off and therefore the chat window opens and closes as a regular web page window? That would then defeat the chat log out?

ZT: I'll check the " " " " ' ' ' ' in the Post Message bar on my system.

EDIT: I entered all maner of " " ' ' ' " " cost's 'cost' etc. and all works fine. I was the only user, but anyway, no problems detected.

I seriously doubt it will be specific inputs into the chat that cause this, it seems to a be a freak out bug that occurs to certain people are certain times, as i said before, slow pc's can sometimes do this, especially since 2 hidden iframes are refreshing every 8 seconds.

Could it be that this user has Javascript turned off and therefore the chat window opens and closes as a regular web page window? That would then defeat the chat log out?

User with JS turned off = The chat doesn't work at all. Having pop up blockers on however will stop the chat from detecting that you left.

As a quick resolve to the page opening full size, this is the code I used:

Find:
vBChat = window.open('vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]','vBChat','directories=no,height='+window.screen. height+',width='+window.screen.width+',location=no ,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no')

Replace with
vBChat = window.open('vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]','vBChat','directories=no,height=560,width=800,lo cation=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,tool bar=no')

Please note ; for whatever reason there are spaces in the "scrollbars" code, I can't remove it when it appears there, just remove the extra spaces between the word

This works nicely for me, whether it will for everyone else, I'm not sure .... if this isn't the right way to do it, please someone tell me!

Before I get started with the installation of vBchat 2.2, I do have one concern...

My admincp folder on my server is NOT named "admincp". This has caused problems with many hacks that I have installed in the past. I do ALSO have an "admincp" folder, which is empty, but is used as a location for hacks that need that location.

Is this going to be a problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on this, in general? I'm assuming the instructions for the installation will say to upload certain files to admincp, should I then upload them into the empty admincp folder or should I upload them into my "renamed" admincp folder?

I hope this question isn't too confusing or poorly worded.

My admincp folder is always named something other than default "admincp". I have never had any issues with just putting the items that are supposed to go into admincp into my renamed folder and just run everything as you normally would from in there.

That's not a problem at all, the files your supposed to upload to admincp/ directory, simply upload to the directory you use for the Admin CP, the directory is auto detected for the XML file reading to install templates, so there shouldn't be a problem at all, just whenever the installation refers to "admincp/", just ignore that and use your current directory name :)

Sorry to frustrate you but, I just don't seem to be able to get the admin cp link. I have checked out the admincp index.php several times and I am just sure I placing the code as instructed.

OK I am just baffled. I have to go feed the barn critters and fix dinner but when I get back I will work on it some more. In the meantime I will PM you the particulars so you might help me. I really want to get this on my public forum but need to understand what I am doing wrong so i don't do it again :)

Thanks so much for the help.

That's not a problem at all, the files your supposed to upload to admincp/ directory, simply upload to the directory you use for the Admin CP, the directory is auto detected for the XML file reading to install templates, so there shouldn't be a problem at all, just whenever the installation refers to "admincp/", just ignore that and use your current directory name :)

- Zero Tolerance

ZT:

I went through with the installation with success. However, now when I try to enter any of the locations in AdminCP > vBChat Control > .........

I get this message:
Not Found

The requested document was not found on this server. Web Server at mechanicalminds.net

This is the problem that I was quite sure that I would run into and I am all but certain it is because my admincp folder is renamed. How do I correct this? I'm sure I just need to get into the files somewhere and rename links... But where?

Thanks for any help. :classic:

UPDATE - Never mind, this was my fault. Unsuccessful upload.

[Zero Tolerance]

If you look in the "UPLOAD" folder, you will see an "admincp" folder, inside this folder is 2 files, upload both of these files to your acp directory, make sure you run the install file as instructed via the install manual :)

I completed both of these steps during the installation.

find out what that link is pointing to and move those files to that folder or you can just change what folder it is linking to

Hm, try visit: http://YOURSITE.com/forums/ADMIN_DIR/admin_vbchat.php manually in a new window and see if you get the same error, if so then it means "admin_vbchat.php" has not been uploaded to your admincp directory.

Thank you for replying. :classic:

This was actually my fault. For some reason when I uploaded the file "admin_vbchat" it didn't successfully upload. I re-uploaded this file and all links appear to be fully functional in my Admin CP.

FTP's can sometimes cut out when attempting to execute an operation, it's just one of those things that happen unfortunatly. Glad to hear everything is working functionaly. Enjoy :)

Here's a screenshot of the chat.

Oh, and I forgot to mention it earlier, but the problem of the "who's online in chat" box displaying primary display group markup is still there. As I mentioned, we use glows in those groups, so its annoying (not to mention aesthetically unappealing), to have it display those markups. Is there any way to change the codign of it so it displays primary usergroup markup instead?

[JAYEMULE]

Well all is well Thanks to Zero Tolerance, who by the way is very tolerant ;)
Turned out I must have had an upload glich but he fixed me all up :banana:

Hmm, weird. Do you have any other skins on your forum? Because it's possible that it's that skin causing the problem, perhaps, in anycase make this template modification to make the chat larger, it should then not cut off the bottom half of the last message.

Find this in "chat_main":
<td class='alt2' align='center' width='80%' height='300' rowspan='2' valign='top'>

Change that to:
<td class='alt2' align='center' width='80%' height='350' rowspan='2' valign='top'>

If it's still cutting off a minor bit, change "350" to "380", however i doubt you will need to.

As for the forumhome bit, open index.php, find:
{$invbc['musername']}
Replace With:
{$invbc['username']}

Save index.php and upload :)

Look above to change the size of the pop-up, and to change your current chat link to this one, find:
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

Replace it with:

When you make the edit to the navbar, you will see a JS function, here you will find something along the lines of:

width='+window.screen.width+',height='+window.scre en.height+'

Change this to:



And yes, make sure when you input numebrs dont put single quotes around them, and also percentages won't work i believe.

You don't alter the table, you alter the javascript line, maybe i should be more clear.

Inside your "navbar" template find:
height='+window.screen.height+',width='+window.scr een.width+'

Replace With:
height=400,width=400

Change the yellow bold numbers to the setting you desire :)

next time I will stick with text... The navbar with this skin has just been a nightmare every time I want to add something... Thanks Neo

Well the chat is designed to open in full screen, so customizing it isn't recommended, and i can't give you any good recommendations for settings, as i recommend full screen, so its the same for users on all resolutions.

roger that--- great hack by the way! Thanks for spending your time on it! It's the best one that I've seen so far that is integrated with a whos online feature.. way to go..

maybe adding a percentage feature for the screen size would work for a future implementation so it would be the same for users on all resolutions but customizable via admincp ;)

and btw it is a great hack i am installing it for a client later this week i have it on my test board.

[RichieBoy67]

Sounds great! Can't wait for that one! :)

[Zero Tolerance]

Sure, it wouldn't be ACP controllable i'm afraid, that would require an extra global query, which is bad, but i'll make it so you can change the % number on 2 variables (1 for width, 1 for height), which makes it easy enough in my eyes :)

The fix for the "Whos online" box worked perfectly.

But, the other problem still persists. I increased it to 350, 380, 400, then to 425, and it still partially cuts it off.

Here's a pic of it at 425:

Oh, and also, my members complain about the chat constantly refreshing and stuff. How can I stop that?

[wacnstac]

I have set up version 2.2 so that only my "sponsoring members" which is a secondary usergroup are allowed to have private chat rooms. This does not seem to work. Even though I have enabled their usergroup in the vbchat setup for this capability it says "thier user group does not have the rights to do this", when they try. I suspect it is a secondary/primary usergroup issue.

[wacnstac]

Also I still get an X for at least one of my smilies even after changing one of the smiles url and changing it back to try and refresh the cache.

[JAYEMULE]

I have now installed the vb chat on my public forum and it works wonderfully. Everything uploaded correctly ;)
The question I have now is this. How do I get the chat to work with a second style I have available for my forum ? It works great with the default vb style but so with a style I have tweaked the colors and a few minor style changes.

Jaye

[eva01_]

from what i did you have to change what the default style is in the vbulletin options, then run the installer again and JUST add the templates do not add the database changes

worked for me ^^

[Mechanical Mind]

Fresh Install of Version 2.2

About 15 minutes into the conversation with a member, it started to post every word or letter on it's own.

Like 1 word per line. This bug is still in Version 2.2. Just wanted to let you know.

Have a nice night.

Seems your rows are exanding with it, so let's set a 1% height, that should resolve it hopefully, make this edit for all of these templates: chat_row, chat_row_bot, chat_row_me, chat_row_special_recieved, chat_row_special_sent

Find:
<td nowrap="nowrap"
Replace With:
<td nowrap="nowrap" height="1%"

Constant refreshing cannot be stopped, hidden iframe's get the newest data, otherwise the chat wouldn't be dynamically changing.

The code works off Primary user groups only i'm afraid, however i'll try add secondary usergroup support in a future release :)

Also I still get an X for at least one of my smilies even after changing one of the smiles url and changing it back to try and refresh the cache.

I'm not sure what is causing it then i am afraid, for now turn show smilies off, untill this is resolved :)

The templates need to be copied over to your other style, and dont worry, i made a modification to copy templates from 1 style to others, located here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72288, it will save you a lot of trouble of manually doing this :)

Another feature suggestion would be to not allow users to log onto vBChat if the server load is over YYY.

There's a vBulletin setting to disallow new members/visitors to get onto the site if server load is over XXX, also, the chat system doesn't use much resources, so i don't see why it has to be ruled out :)

Fresh Install of Version 2.2
About 15 minutes into the conversation with a member, it started to post every word or letter on it's own. Like 1 word per line. This bug is still in Version 2.2. Just wanted to let you know.
Same here as it happened a few times here tonight. It definitely follows the use of an apostrophe in the previous line.

I'm not so sure about this. It seems as though when I get near or upwards of 10 users my load really bogs down.

My new lines go on the top of the chat screen. The folks who join in late would like to be able to scroll down further to see what has already gone by the chat window.

[eva01_]

i don't have a scroll bar at all in my chat room o_O

Scroll bars appear if messages are long and it all totals up larger than the iframes it in. I;m not entirely sure the Javascript fully works with Safari, but i can't garentee that (havn't tested it on safari, only IE & FireFox)

[eva01_]

is a chat room still supposed to look like that?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=24215

if so then no it doesn't work on Safari. and Safari is the #1 Mac browser

UPDATE:
checked in firefox works as should from just looking at it

does not work in Safari must work for 90% of Mac users to ever use it

[Zero Tolerance]

Yes it's supposed to look like that, and i know Safari is a mac browser, and i didn't think it would work. I doubt i'll be able to do much, getting it working in FireFox was hard enough, and if it works in FF, then in means its 100% standard JS, since FF only allows standard javascript to be executed, nothing sloppy..

Just a note..

I had about 40 users on it tonight and the server load just kept climbing. httpd was using 95% of the cpu, steady. I disabled the chat and server load is back to 0.9.

There were tons of requests to vbchat.php... isn't it safe to say that a large number of users chatting would cause hundreds of refreshes in a few seconds? Is there any way to avoid the lag?

The constant refreshing to re-gain data is the only downfall, i'll look into optomization for future releases, i believe i could cut 2 iframes refreshing and make it just be the one, that would stop an extra 7 or so queries which are executed upon refreshing, cutting the usage of the chat in half :)

This is something I was wondering too, why two separate refreshes for the main and the user windows? Not being critical, just wondering.

Oh, and where is V.2.3? For all those money I pay you, you should be delivering more often. Only one of the twins is home today, so I could use the time to do the upgrade! LoL

well, the mysterious bug hitted my board as well.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/sv1cec/bug.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/sv1cec/bug2.jpg

On the first time, there was an apostrophe involved, but not in the second time. First time, the user said it was bad typing, but for the second time, he was very sure it wasn't.

The funny thing was that the other user saw the same thing from me, but that was clumsy typing on my behalf for sure.

Just thought I'll let you know.

[oldengine]

On the first time, there was an apostrophe involved, but not in the second time.I see "it's" on the line before BOTH of them. It doesn't matter which user uses an apostrophe.

[Mr.ciuk]

great !!! :)

[Megareus Rex]

Seems your rows are exanding with it, so let's set a 1% height, that should resolve it hopefully, make this edit for all of these templates: chat_row, chat_row_bot, chat_row_me, chat_row_special_recieved, chat_row_special_sent

Find:
<td nowrap="nowrap"
Replace With:
<td nowrap="nowrap" height="1%"

Constant refreshing cannot be stopped, hidden iframe's get the newest data, otherwise the chat wouldn't be dynamically changing.


Nope, it didn't fix it. The bottom line remains cut off.

[sv1cec]

I see "it's" on the line before BOTH of them. It doesn't matter which user uses an apostrophe.
So you mean that if one user uses an apostrophe, that affects the way the other user input is handled? Kind of hard to believe, but I'll leave that to ZT to decide.

It's strange because tonight, I've spend about two hours in the chat, and I saw a lot of apostrophes being typed. Never noticed the problem though.

The ' may just be a coincidence. I'm sure each time it happened there were several of the same letters present as well. But as humans, we are not going to take notice of that. I'm sure there is an "e" in almost every line when this happens too.

Until something substantial shows that the ' is the problem. It is probably just a coincidence.

This is such a fine hack ! I have it running and it's great. We haven't had 40 people in at same time yet and so far no bugs about :)

We absoulutely need to address this. This thing really bogs down my server more than a very old Jabber Chat, chat room. Also need a fix to limit private chat rooms to secondary user groups as these are my paid groups and will be the only ones to whom this feature is offered.

yes, we had this problem tonight with only 3 members in the room. Also one user reported that the screen would grab the text he was typing and send it while he was typing. The 'stuttering' ( we dubbed it stuttering) seemed to only effect one user out of the 3 in the room.

Okay i'll try to make this clear, the problem with the posting been split it is a malfunction due to the 2 iframes refreshing continually while the chat opens, some browsers are unable to cope with this continual execution and throws the form hectic, this has been identified on slower machines only, anyone with a decent/hi-spec PC probably won't of experienced this problem. The solution to this is to optomize the chat even further, i plan on releasing v2.3 later today, no new features, a plain and simple optomization release to make the chat system more stable and executing fewer queries.

Nope, it didn't fix it. The bottom line remains cut off.

Then it's most definaty your skin i'm afraid, try install another skin and see if the problem is the same.

The chat is supposed to open in full screen, in a future release you will be able to control the % width/height of the window that opens, until then you won't i'm afraid unless you do it manually, not recommended however because everyone is on a different screen resolution.

What about a way to tell when someone has posted a new message or joined the room when you have the chat room minimzed or you are viewing another window in Internet Explorer? Same as you would when you receive a new message in MSN Messenger and the icon flashes until you restore or maximize the window again. Would this be possible?

Well, if ZT decides to implement a sound when a new member enters the chat, then you will have your alarm.

I've posted a thread here, which shows changes that you can do, to have a sound playing, every time a new user logs in, but they are not complete and I would prefer if you wait for ZT to implement this feature, my version is a ... hack of his hack, to cover my user needs. I haven't tested it if the chat window is minimized, but it works OK, if it is resized to a very small size. Then when you hear the sound, you just make it larger.

I am running version 1.1 - what do I need to do to upgrade to 2.3 ?

what i did was, delete the old data columns and tables in the db, then run the install script. worked fine for me.

[lefthome]

A few weeks ago I installed VBChat 2.0 to my system. I am currently using VbBulletin 3.6. During the install I experienced several issues with the board so I removed everything (during the final phase of removal I discovered I failed to remove one of the existing scripts as I installed the new hack) except the forum overlays or custom templates, i.e. chat.

Anyway, I am upgrading to VbBulletin version 3.07 this weekend and will reinstall VBChat 2.3 ensuring I read all the steps before I install and removing everything required.

Here is my question: Since I already installed VBChat 2.0 should I;

1. remove the custom templates..chat or leave intact
2. should I install as an upgrade, if I leave these or does it matter
3. should I remove the custom templates and start the install as fresh for 2.3 vbchat?

I will try to do the same as you did JirQUEST & see what will happen :)

Bug report:

A user using Opera has reported that when there are enough messages so that a scrollbar shows up, the scrollbar jumps to the top at every refresh, even if the page is set to have newest messages show up at the bottom.

It looks like the Javascript call of scroll(0,99999999) does not work for Opera.

And I integrated this hack into my current design :) instead of the full page for the chat. very easy. Nice work.

* LeeWicKeD clicks install

[xug]

Maybe I missed it but I have a problem with the history.

When chatting with a bunh of people we can only scroll up a little back in the chat confo, can this history be increased somewhere?

And also as EH-Jay mentioned needs to be solved, lets say you talk about somebody who isn't in the room and then he enters and can see what is just said, not good.

Further, one fine hack!!

[LeeWicKeD]

@xug: in vbchat.php look for

$Get_Chat_MSG = $DB->query("select u.*,m.* from ".TABLE_PREFIX."vbchat_store m left join ".TABLE_PREFIX."user u on (u.userid = m.s_postby) where m.s_forroom = '{$bbuserinfo['vbchat_pref_in_room']}' order by m.s_postime desc limit 0,15");

and change the 15 at the and to the number of messages that you want to be shown ;)

.matt

[RichieBoy67]

I guess I missed something... What are the new features in the last upgrade?? I guess I have version v.2.3...

Thanks

[xug]

Thanks LeeWicKeD

I still don't like it when I get in the room (or somebody else) that I can read what is said before, this is really bad and I hope this issue can be solved asap because this is the best chat integration I have seen here.

[robert_2004]

Question to Zero Tolerance:
Can i save the chat logs as threads or topics to the site, like i have mentioned here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=627266#post627266
???

[animehawk]

Cheers to Zero Tolerance! I just finished the upgrade from 1.1.1 to 2.3 :) Very nice work.

[LeeWicKeD]

Thanks LeeWicKeD

I still don't like it when I get in the room (or somebody else) that I can read what is said before, this is really bad and I hope this issue can be solved asap because this is the best chat integration I have seen here.

i really like this ability reading the old messages, very helpful sometimes! for important things there are also the (chat-)pm's ;)

[intrigue]

ok sorted it was the template modifications that the installation makes
i changed the default style and it made the changes properly :)
.matt

[intrigue]

the only problem i have now is when joining the room i get 3 joins for the one person any reason for that?
.matt

[intrigue]

so anyways this erm integration with vb you know like within your site how do you do that? rather then a popup window?
.matt

[sv1cec]

First of all, do not expect ZT to answer your questions here. There is a special forum for vBChat, and that is where you should be posting your questions. The URL for the forum, is at the top of every page here.

As for the vB integration, I am not sure I understand what you mean. The chat opens in a new window, because it is a different application than browsing the forums. It is however fully integrated with vB. In order for someone to go in the Chat, he has to be a member of your forums. Also, moderators can ban members from the chat (i.e. the program understands who your mods are etc). My Advanced Warning System, which is another hack for vB, understands when a user enters a vB cencored word and issues a warning. vBChat is the most integrated with vB chat program there is today, believe me, I've tried them all. And it allows you to program it just as if it was vB, which is more than some other chat hacks can offer.

Works well. My users love it.

[Fenriz]

How can I uninstall vbchat? I've installed it (step 1 and 2 in istruction), but need to uninstall it now.
When I run install_vbchat.php file, I receive only 'installation type' in the menu, but without unistall option..

Please help.

[TopeeGuy]

Is there any way to restrict certain usergroups to certain chat rooms?

E.g. two usergroups: ugA and ugB. Two rooms: crA and crB. I only want ugA to be able to access crA (and not crB), and ugB should only be able to access crB (and not crA).

Possible?

[havefun]

thanks a lot. great work :)

[Mr.ciuk]

Changing height/width % will be in the next version :)

Thaks a lot for your great work.... :)

Can i make something manually to reduce windows chat ???
Thanks !!!!

Thanks !!!!

Go into your navbar template, or wherever you are calling vBChat from, and find the script that opens up the window. Replace that script with this one:


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function OpenvBChat(){

var ws = screen.width*0.8;
var hs = screen.height*0.7;
var winParms = "height=" + hs + ",width=" + ws + "directories=no,resizeable=yes,location=no,menubar= no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no";
vBChat = window.open('vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]','vBChat',winParms)

return false;
}

-->
</script>


You can change the factors 0.8 and 0.7 I use, in the variables ws and hs to suite your needs. As it is now, it will create a window with 0.8 times the screen width and 0.7 times the screen height of your user's screen.

This is by far the best chat integration to vbulletin... check the attachment and look how nicely integrates with vbulletin and the cmps...

thank you Zero Tolerance...



How did you do that bro? I would like for it to load like that instead of a seperate window....thank for any info


Also heres a problem some members are having & was wondering if you can give me a solution......alot of my members say when they click on tha vbchat link tha page loads blank.......i have asked members to turn off firewalls, use different web browsers.....but still no luck.....it works fine for me like i said earlier but ALOT of people are saying that it isnt showing up...is there a fix for this that might be preventing certain people from viewing vbchat? maybe its sp2 for i.e. ? ...i have no idea & was wondering if someone could point me in tha right direction

[Osiris2k]

Hey first of all this is a great hack!

But I got one problem, when I try to enter the chat from the mainpage(vbadvanced) it gives me page not found (it is correctly forwarded to vBChat.php)

But it does work if I click the chat link from within the forum itself.

How do I fix that?

[sv1cec]

Guys, do not post your questions here, ZT does not check this area any more, or at least he doesn't check it frequently. If you have a problem or a question, please post it here:

Hey Thanks ZT for this mod really nice one. I love the features of the latest which is 2.3 where there is no sound of the refresh and no page loading look.

My admincp doesnt load up, it just gives me a blank white page. When I revert to the old admincp, it's fine. What's up?

[midnightwalker]

just a small question, how can I see my previous message after it's scrolled up?

[face0fdie]

thanks

[chriswible]

Wow, great hack! I am very impressed by the fluidity and smoothness with which vBChat operates.

Thanks! *clicks install*

[Teresa]

An apostrophe in the status loses any text after the apostrophe.

[midnightwalker]

so how can we take it back?

[Jinovich]

I really love the Vb chat system specially the ability to intergrate the styles you have installed onto the board automatically :)

did notice a very small mistake (well actually an my illiterate co-admin spotted it)

erm banned users are displayed with "Sorry you have beed...."

Real simple to fix,

Open up VBchat.php

find:
if($UserIDBanned > 0){
// Your User Doesn't Have Permission To Access The vBChat System, Error Now And Cancel Out All Actions
RunError("Sorry but you have beed denied access permissions to use the vBChat System, please contact the administrator for more information.");
}

and replace with:

if($UserIDBanned > 0){
// Your User Doesn't Have Permission To Access The vBChat System, Error Now And Cancel Out All Actions
RunError("Sorry but you have been denied access permissions to use the vBChat System, please contact the administrator for more information.");
}

and that will obviously fix it,

once again I must say VERY GOOD HACK!

Nice one ZT!

[midnightwalker]

so how can we take it back?

Anyone can help me????

[greenhybrid]

Is there a log of everything that happens in the chatroom so I can read through it from time to time, make sure everything is going well?

[conandoyle]

To Zero Tolerance: Thank you for your hack.

I've followed your instructions to install VBChat, but in "Edit Template" step.
In my template : 'navbar', I can't find :
+++++++++++++++++++
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
+++++++++++++++++++

Can any one tell me how to solve in this case?
Thanks much !

[sv1cec]

There should be something for the calendar, what do you have there?

[greenhybrid]

Any of your links in the navbar will have a TD cell like that. You can search for the User CP or Memberlist if you want. They're all the same. It's just about ordering.

[conandoyle]

Well, you found it. It's slightly different. Change the class in the replacement to fit it, and you should be fine.

[midnightwalker]

Is there a log of everything that happens in the chatroom so I can read through it from time to time, make sure everything is going well?

Exactly that's what I need

[ChaoticMageDDC]

Great hack btw but im having a few problems...

First off when u go to my main link http://www.goaguild.com/ and click chat for some reason it is not switching to /forum/vbchat.php if you go to http://www.goaguild.com/forum and click on the chat it works fine.. I thought creating 1 template effects both the index (CMPS) and the forums URL's together??? If thats not the case how can i fix the first link so it goes to /forum when u click it??

Also i notice the vbchat script takes FOREVER to load. Any reason why it's so slow to process? Takes a good minute to a minute in a half before it will load...

Thanks!

[greenhybrid]

Because it's a relative link instead of absolute, it's looking in the same directory. Go into the navbar template and change the link to /forum/vBChat.php instead of vBChat.php

The script doesn't take forever for me... Try mine out.

If it's not slow, check your installation. If it is, check your computer... and another one.

Damn yours is super fast... Not sure why mine loads so slow for me.. Did you try to click my chat link?

Thanks for the help that should resolve it.

[greenhybrid]

Enable guest access and I will. Registered for too many forums already. Sorry.

[ChaoticMageDDC]

ok let me enable it...

This link issue still isn't working correctly...

function OpenvBChat(){
vBChat = window.open('vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]','vBChat','directories=no,height='+window.screen. height+',width='+window.screen.width+',location=no ,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no')

return false;
}

-->
</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.goaguild.com/forum/vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">Chat</a></td>


If i change the first vBchat.php to (forum/vBChat.php the CMPS Chat link works correctly. THe problem is the second chat link located on the Forums Page now goes to forum/forum/vBChat.php :ermm:

Try taking out $session[sessionurl] .

Does this chat room keep chat logs, if so where do I find them?

[Corriewf]

Can someone tell me how I can get vbChat to open within my forum and not as a pop up page?

I'm a newbie to all this, but I follow directions extremely well.


Thanks for the assistance...

Instead of using the java code in the navbar just use html.

[greenhybrid]

To get rid of the popup, take out the onclick attribute of the anchor link (<a>) tag for your chatroom links (navbar, who's chatting templates). You can also change the template by adding your header/footer HTML to the templates or sticking in a template call.

If I need to be more specific, let me know.

[Corriewf]

Yes...could you be more specific...that would help me a great deal :)

Thanks for the help.

Do you know how to add just a regular link to the navbar?

Do you know how to add just a regular link to the navbar?
in the navbar....... just add something like <a href="vbchat.php">Chat</a> and that should do it...

When I try to upload the files, they show as 0bytes in size on my web server.
All of my firewall setting are correct, and I've even turned the firewall off completely, but still the same.

I'm still looking into this, but thought I would mention it here in case it has something to do with the files themselves (probably not though).

Any advice?

Cheers!

Edit: Sorted this.

[flex22]

This is a nice addition.

When viewing who's online though, it does look ugle the way it says "unknown location"

How do I get that to just say "chat room"

Also I appear as not in the chat room if I don't write anything for like 1 minute, or so it seems.
How can I change that so that I'm permanently shown in the chat room, until I manually close vbchat?

Sorry if these questions have been asked before, but I really can't be bothered going through all of this big thread to see if this has already been posted about.

Cheers!

Guys, do not post your questions here, ZT does not check this area any more, or at least he doesn't check it frequently. If you have a problem or a question, please post it here:

He doesn't seem to check there too much either.
