Hi!

Wanting to change the background to white, I cut someone's script and pasted it into chat_iframe. I think it must have been an older version, I have 2.3 Fresh install.

So I loaded chat, with no luck in changing the color to white, and then I also lost the ability to chat. The page loads, but my username is not displayed, and whatever I type, doesn't translate to the chat page. So I then tried revert, and inadvertantly deleted the whole chat_iframe.

Is there an effective way to easily recreate this chat_iframe v. 2.3?

Or, do I have to uninstall chat, and then reinstall?

It was working so great, and I had to tinker with it.
:disappointed:

You can hunt down what the template code was by opening up the relevant PHP file.

I suppose finding the relevant php file is half the fun for some.

Do a search for the template name ;)

I've searched for this but can't see that anyone has posted this before so here goes.

Can vbChat be restricted to members that have xx minimum posts before chatting?

TIA

you could do a usergruop promotion so when they reach xx posts they get promoted to that gruop, and the normal group cant access it?

Everything works really great. Excellent hack.

I'm facing a small problem... Although I have all permissions enabled for all usergroups, when an unregistered user tries to enter the chat room or see who's chatting receives the following messages...

Guest - No Permissions
Unable To View
Guests Are Unable To Use The vB Chat System

Does anyone has any idea why this is happening cause i really want chat room available for the guests.

Hi all; I installed the hack but there is a little problem; in admincp >> Settings Menu>> there is only "Setting Group" and "Save"; nothing else.. (also with other 1-2 hacks I have the same problem).. What can be this problem's reason? Thanx.....

the word "vBChat" is hard coded in this hack, just look for the word "vbchat" in the installation instructions and change them to whatever you want... :)

Has this problem been addressed before?

This is the best of any chat I've installed so far. Sure, it needs some tweaking and a few modifications, but so far so good. Thank you.

What exactly is "Status: None"
I'd like to streamline the "Users Currently In vBChat" tables. They are somewhat bulky I think.

Anyhow, here's a button I made.

This is a great little mod :cool:. I have a few questions:

Is there any way a sound can be triggered if someone types a message, if you're in teh chat room, but have it open in another browser window / popup?
Can the mod be modified to include a way to invite someone to the chat room. I used to have this feature on vB2.x where they'd receive a popup, which the recipient could say 'Yes' or 'No' to. If they selected 'Yes, they'd be taken to the chat room

These are great ideas, I would love an invite feature. Was this ever answered?

This hack is AWESOME! Thank you!

06-24-2005, 11:48 PM

Hi,

How strange is this...

I did the mods for vBChat...works great as far as I can tell, though unlike another user, it took ME a tad longer than 7 minutes to accomplish.

Anyhow, this line got me to chuckling:
"Go back to your admin cp, refresh it, and go to vBChat -> vBChat Options, set up the configuration to your own liking."
That would be great, except that vBChat does not exist anywhere in my Admin CP. Anywhere. It certainly works well enough though...at least on the forum itself. Question is...whar'd it go in the CP? :D -Rod-

thus i am assuming it is something i have done with my set up

this is the error message for chat:

Gentlemen,

you have to understand, that this is a difficult period for all vB hack developers. With the announcement of vB 3.5, we are all working hard to port our hacks to the new version, which is not an easy task I assure you.

So please do not be too harsh on ZT, or any other developer here.

Rgds

Fair enough, ZT is a great developer,I apologise for my comments but as mustang_lex says why not "temp" untick support box..

I posted in the chat forum about the prob i have above, I stated why I dumped the original vbchat hack but since its been so well developed since then I wanted to try again but when your site is popular and folk like a good chatroom you have to try and get stuff up quickly as you will all know.. Now i've went with sigmachat and have it workin a treat

My sites not broke so why the need to fix it {upgrade} :ninja: :ninja:

Yes, you can have a "User XYZ left the room" message, if you use a log out button. It's not easy however, to tell you how to do it, my site is heavily hacked and the vBChat hack has been.... rehacked by me very much.

The only way that you can do it, is if you decide you like my version. I send you the files and you install them. You can have a look at my version at http://forum.m1911.org, but you will have to register first.

Sorry :(

Usergroup Permissions not working ..?
what is the diffrent between banned usergroups & Usergroup Permissions ?

i really like this chat but it's taking up too much resources. With this off, my domain uses about 170 CPU mins per day, with vbChat on, it uses 433 CPU mins per day. Is this suppose to happen? I only have about 8 people on different times of the day...

This is still a little buggy. Everytime it refreshes whatever I had in the textbox is added. So often times my chat will be like:

[03:13 AM] luvs2sellit: page
[03:13 AM] luvs2sellit: u 2
[03:13 AM] luvs2sellit: u
[03:13 AM] Greg Bernhardt: ack

Any experiences out there?

Is there a logging function?

I am having an issue with two things on two different boards:

1. on board 1 the smilies show up in a row at the bottom but when posted in the chat it just shows : ) for example, no actual smilie.

2. on board 2 the chat text disappears frequently without notice, during an active chat session

Any ideas?

Excellent hack (/me clicks install) :classic:

Just a couple of questions though - the chatroom opens full-screen, and there doesn't appear to be anyway of re-sizing - can it be done? There is a diagonal "grab" arrow at botton left, it just doesn't work.

Also, I can't see how to set status for Admins / Mods?

Any clues would be appreciated, maybe it's something I've missed?

Anyway, thanks for a great hack ;)

*Edit - a little later . . I'll be *&^^%$?* !! If I enter the chat room via the "Who's in vBChat" link - I get a floating, and fully resizeable window. If I use the Navbar link I get a full-screen window that won't resize. Curiouser and curiouser! LOL All things considered, I think we can live with it though :)

I like it too, but not worth keeping on the site. My users hate it and yes, it is extremely buggy. I've heard that FlashChat is pretty decent. I might try that for a while and see how it works. I've been using gtchat for years, but have always hated it as well.

Yeah, I got it working and it did really well. My members are going ape without it!! They love it!

Then I went and installed Arcade Games!!

Ooops! I need to get help on how to clean up the mess!

Does changing a .php file completely overwrite the existing file on the server ( ie the index files that are amended for vBChat & Arcade games )?

After loading arcade, I went into into and took a look around but since exiting, it does not work, and nor does chat.

First, the join and leave room messages should have a time stamp.

and

When someone joins a room there should be an option to sound an audible alarm.

Anyone have an idea where I can start?

We've been asking for an uninstaller for this program since day 1. This has got to be one of the worst supported hacks on this site. This should be removed from the forum if it is not going to be supported fully.

It needs no support. PJIRC has a support site. The man integrated users rights / basic config / skins. This was a free script to enhance your site that took time to create. Time is money, and you did not pay for his time. You have nothing to say.

Thanks for your opinion, as if it matters to me. The guy offered up a hack and then didn't support it, that's pretty shoddy if you ask me. I'll remember his name when he's offering up pay hacks.

Yes, download is where you can download the attached files. Install Mod is where the author is credited, so for instance if the hack has a 100 installs acredited to it, then when you click Install it makes it up to 1001. Hope this answers your question.

for now, in regards to the chat port to vB3.5.x, one may need to change the template modifications to reflect your current forum location such as:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php$session[sessionurl_q]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>

changed to:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/YOUR_FORUM_DIRECTORY/chat.php$session[sessionurl_q]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>

note the change/addition of: "http://www.YOURSITE.com/YOUR_FORUM_DIRECTORY/"

upon these two posts 1 & 2, I post this port of vBChat 2.3 for vB3.5

This hack had been ported to work with vB3.5.x by Milad
The Original creator is zero tolerance

Due to lack of time I provide no support.
This is a mere port only and there are no new functions or bugs fixes.
file vbchat.php was renamed into chat.php

read the text file to learn how to install

I hope you like it.

Regrads

Quick question Milad... I'm no coder, so I would like to know if your file is all I require to get the chat working or do I have to install ZT's latest version first then yours??

:confused:

Noticed there is no exit chat room button? Was wondering if the intended way to ext was to close the Window? If so does this leave open system resources?

Why I'm asking is that as time wore on in testing the port/mod the chat room responded slower and slower till finally is running very slowly.

I have done the following...

Import product-vBChat.xml as a product from admincp - DONE

I found the first part of the file in index.php - DONE

But the second part says to look for something:

while ($loggedin = $db->fetch_array($forumusers))
{
$userid = $loggedin['userid'];
if (!$userid)
{ // Guest
$numberguest++;
$inforum["$loggedin"]++;
}
else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))
{
$userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;
}

if(preg_match("/chat.php/",$loggedin['location']) && $loggedin['userid']){
$vbchat_users[$loggedin['userid']] = $loggedin;

----------------------------

How can I have the line [I]$vbchat_users[$loggedin['userid']] = $loggedin; if I never had vb chat up and running?

I looked for the line and found the first part... but it never mentioned VBChat.

What am I missing?

I'm half way through the install.

Ramsesx

05-23-2006, 08:48 PM

There is an error in the second part of the install.txt
Find:
while ($loggedin = $DB_site->fetch_array($forumusers))
{
$userid = $loggedin['userid'];
if (!$userid)
{ // Guest
$numberguest++;
$inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;
}
else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))
{
$userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;
}
}

and replace with this:

// Get the users in vBChat
$vbchat_users = array();

while ($loggedin = $db->fetch_array($forumusers))
{
$userid = $loggedin['userid'];
if (!$userid)
{ // Guest
$numberguest++;
$inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;
}
else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))
{
$userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;
}

if(preg_match("/chat.php/",$loggedin['location']) && $loggedin['userid']){
$vbchat_users[$loggedin['userid']] = $loggedin;
}

}

// Configure Peeps In vBChat
$invBChat = "";

if(is_array($vbchat_users)){
foreach($vbchat_users as $invbc){
if($invBChat == ""){
$extra = "";
} else {
$extra = ", ";
}

// Get Username Style
$invbc['musername'] = fetch_musername($invbc);

$invBChat .= "{$extra}<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&u={$invbc['userid']}'>{$invbc['musername']}</a>";
}
}

if($invBChat == ""){
$invBChat = "<i>No one is currently inside Chat</i>";

Eek, well. I've run into a slight few problems. And I don't have alot of free time so I may not be able to "finish" it. But thinking over it...i've rewritten a small portion of it. So i'd rather have ZT's permission anyway (I know, I saw the thread, I know he hasn't been here in a while..but I'd feel better about it if I did). And Milad's port as-is seems to work just fine :)

It looks great... it works great... and the members LOVE IT!

Whoa... all of a sudden now when I go to my members page, I get this error...

Warning: mktime() expects parameter 4 to be long, string given in /memberlist.php on line 660

Is this due to the chat? It was working fine until I did this install.

floydian1

05-24-2006, 03:49 PM

The space bar is acting as an enter key for some people.

They are only able to get in one word at a time.

Anyone else experiencing that?

I may have to unload the script. It appears to be causing problems.

Also I have noticed one thing. Why do you I get a blank popup window when exiting the chat room? This is weird!

Hm...how could I display the number of users right in the menu ??? say something like this: "vbChat (6)". Some users don't scroll down to the stats to see who's in the chat, this way they would see it right in the navbar. Any help would be appreciated!

If there would be no users in the chat "vbChat (0)" or just "vbChat" would be great. I'm using the ported chat on 3.5
You could do the following:

Open forum/index.php, find

// Configure Peeps In vBChat
$invBChat = "";

if(is_array($vbchat_users)){
foreach($vbchat_users as $invbc){
if($invBChat == ""){
$extra = "";
} else {
$extra = ", ";
}

// Get Username Style
$invbc['musername'] = fetch_musername($invbc);

$invBChat .= "{$extra}<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&u={$invbc['userid']}'>{$invbc['musername']}</a>";
}
}

if($invBChat == ""){
$invBChat = "<i>No one is currently inside Chat</i>";
}

Replace with:

// Configure Peeps In vBChat
$invBChat = '';
$num_in_chat = 0;

if (is_array($vbchat_users))
{
foreach ($vbchat_users AS $invbc)
{
if ($invBChat == '')
{
$extra = '';
}
else
{
$extra = ', ';
}

// Get Username Style
$invbc['musername'] = fetch_musername($invbc);

$invBChat .= "{$extra}<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&u={$invbc['userid']}'>{$invbc['musername']}</a>";
$num_in_chat++;
}
}

if($invBChat == '')
{
$invBChat = '<i>No one is currently inside Chat</i>';
}

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Expand All Templates

Open the 'navbar' template, find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php$session[sessionurl_q]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>

Replace with:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php$session[sessionurl_q]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a> ({$num_in_chat})</td>

That seems to do it, tested it on mine and works fine :)

05-30-2006, 09:23 AM

Oh, you're the man!!! Thanks a bunch, slight problem though. It doesn't show up in my case. Actually, if it makes any diff, my navigation menu is inside my header template. I added a link like so

<a href="../../community/chat.php$session[sessionurl_q]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();" target="_blank"> • Chat ({$num_in_chat})</a>

It gets me into chat no problems, but I don't see the number of people in the room.

Any pointers ???

Thanks

So as I, but have learnt to live with it. But if there is some way of getting rid of it, please do tell.

I found in the chat template:

do_close = 1;

I commented do_close = 1; and added do_close = 0;
like so:

//do_close = 1;
do_close = 0;

with, so far, no ill effects to the operations of the chat room to stop that little window from poping-up.

This is following the text instructions and I get this error. Does anyone know how I can fix it? I dont even know why its giving this error because font_face is not even duplicating itself anywhere in the xml script.

I've installed the port to 3.5 and it doesn't seem to work as described for 3.0. It's only been running on our forum this morning, but there seems to be quite a few bugs, and as it seems that the support for this hack is gone, I think it might be safer to try flashchat.

You can set it, such that only specific usergroups have access to it, and you can ban the others.

You could do the following:

$invBChat = "";

if(is_array($vbchat_users)){
foreach($vbchat_users as $invbc){
if($invBChat == ""){
$extra = "";
} else {
$extra = ", ";
}

// Get Username Style
$invbc['musername'] = fetch_musername($invbc);

$invBChat .= "{$extra}<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&u={$invbc['userid']}'>{$invbc['musername']}</a>";
}
}

if($invBChat == ""){
$invBChat = "<i>No one is currently inside Chat</i>";
}

Replace with:

// Configure Peeps In vBChat
$invBChat = '';
$num_in_chat = 0;

if (is_array($vbchat_users))
{
foreach ($vbchat_users AS $invbc)
{
if ($invBChat == '')
{
$extra = '';
}
else
{
$extra = ', ';
}

// Get Username Style
$invbc['musername'] = fetch_musername($invbc);

$invBChat .= "{$extra}<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&u={$invbc['userid']}'>{$invbc['musername']}</a>";
$num_in_chat++;
}
}

if($invBChat == '')
{
$invBChat = '<i>No one is currently inside Chat</i>';
}

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Expand All Templates

Open the 'navbar' template, find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php$session[sessionurl_q]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>

Replace with:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php$session[sessionurl_q]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a> ({$num_in_chat})</td>

That seems to do it, tested it on mine and works fine :)

Thanks----doesn't work if you have VBA CMPS though (well it does for the forum index, but not the CMS index :))

Any suggestions?

Had some err's for some time but finally got it working.

1 err in the text doc.
says to find:
------------------------------------------------------------------
while ($loggedin = $db->fetch_array($forumusers))
{
$userid = $loggedin['userid'];
if (!$userid)
{ // Guest
$numberguest++;
$inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;
}
else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))
{
$userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;
}

if(preg_match("/chat.php/",$loggedin['location']) && $loggedin['userid']){
$vbchat_users[$loggedin['userid']] = $loggedin;
}

}
------------------------------------------------------------------
it is all right except the bottom few lines. The chat.php is not already in the index.php. I guess it's becuase i didn't have the file in before.

However if you never loaded this before you should find this text below.
------------------------------------------------------------------
while ($loggedin = $db->fetch_array($forumusers))
{
$userid = $loggedin['userid'];
if (!$userid)
{ // Guest
$numberguest++;
$inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;
}
else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))
{
$userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;
}
}

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $numberguest == 0)
{
$numberguest++;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------
replace it with the // Get the users in vBChat text in the notepad.

Remember that you have to go to Milad's post and download the new vbchat2.3 for vb3.5. You can not download the file by the original creator at this time. He has not been around to make modifcations.

Good luck everyone hope this helps.

Thanks to Milad for the fix with 3.5 and to the original creator.
