I am currently stuck at VB5.1.9 patch level 3 which is the latest patch version. This product does not work on this specific update.

The other DB product InfoPanels also does not work on VB5.1.10 but it is currently operational on VB5.1.9 patch level 3.... just for FYI.

So any fix for the parse error 200? I don't want to be rude but that's the only thing I care about right now. I can't update my forum at this time.

I have Pro version running on my test site (vB5.2.0 Alpha 2) and i have only the parse error 200 when i reload the main page but only a few seconds and it's gone.
Otherwise the shoutbox seems to be working fine except from some settings in the acp like MarkFL mentioned....i would not use it on a live site atm until a proper fix or update.

200 parser error :/

vbshout is works fine with vb 5.2 but I tried to edit permissions or to add new instance management and doesn't work ...

This version has not been tested on vB 5.1.10 or vB 5.2 at this time. I will update it as soon as I can :)


Fillip

Thank's we will wait ;)

any updates ?

I'll be posting a new version when I have any updates to share with you :)


Fillip

Will that version also be backwards compatible with 5.1.9? As is now this product doesn't work with 5.1.9. I wouldn't mind installing it.... and just for FYI I always buy the Pro or full version with branding free.

When I do have a chance to look into compatibility, the minimum version required will move to whatever I'm testing it on at the time. If 5.2.0 is the latest at that time, then I'll be setting the minimum version to vB 5.2.0 :)


Fillip

Still no updates? :)

It is not currently possible to update this mod as vB 5.2.0 still does not support custom modules, from what I can tell.

Fillip

bad to hear that

What about other products such as InfoPanels?

I have this working on 5.2 but with a caveat. Several of the options to edit the settings and permissions of the mod do not work because the hard coded url inside of the links/buttons are missing the "admincp" part of the url. If I manually add it to the url (for the instance permissions link, as an example) I can reach the page. But none of the "Save" buttons work once you make any changes because of the incorrect url inside of the function of the button itself. The "add new instance" button has the same issue.

I have infopanels working as well as vbshout, but with the same issue I described in my previous post.

The reason for this is that the way the mod was made was the correct way to code for vB5 for 5.0.0 - 5.2.0 where they decided to change the way AdminCP forms work for no discernible reason.

vB5 is still too unstable to actively develop for unfortunately :(


Fillip

For example the "view instance permissions" link leads to:

http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/vbsho...on=permissions

Whereas it should actually lead to:

http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/admin...on=permissions

There's no way to edit the link itself to fix this in the mod options, but I can manually type it in the resulting invalid page url. The same, however, cannot be done to make the "Save" button work.

I'm already aware of these issues and it has been corrected in the version available @ our site.

However, this is very likely to be changed in some other way in a near future version of vB5 considering how these things have historically changed in vB5.


Fillip

Ah, I see. Thanks for the quick reply. Is there a previous release of the mod that might get the url right? I noticed in the changelog of one of the last updates a mention regarding something similar being an issue that was corrected.

This randomly changed in a previous version of vB5 but was reverted again, so I'm guessing this current change will be reverted too.

In either case, there's no readily accessible archive at this time, sorry.


Fillip

I'm running the 6.1.0 Alpha 8 version. Is that the latest one you have? We were using the same version of your mod on VB 5.1.x and didn't have this problem that I recall.

Like I said, the changes were applied to the version available @ our site. It was a hotfix, it did not increment the version number.

That's because the change that broke our mods did not occur on your particular version(s) of vB5. It has occurred once before, whether it was in 5.0.x or 5.1.x I cannot say.


Fillip

Ah, well, OK that all makes sense. Thanks again for the super quick replies! They were so quick, in fact, I was still responding to your previous ones before I got to see that you were another one ahead of me already! :)

One quick thought/question: Is there perhaps a way to invoke the "save" command beside the button then? Like I said, by manually editing the url I can reach the settings and permissions area and make changes but the only thing I'm missing is some way to save them. Totally frustrating that it's so close, yet so far to make basic changes from the default settings. I have users that can't see the shoutbox because of the current permissions, but guests not logged in can.

Would the easier solution not just be to go here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/store/8-vbulletin-5-x/ and download any of the vB5 mods you're using?


Fillip

That's exactly where I got the latest download from and the one I'm having this issue with. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch using this download because we were getting the "200 parseerror" after upgrading from VB 5.1 to 5.2 at first and I read that others having the same error were able to correct it by doing so.

We've been running this same version of the mod all along on lower versions of VB5 since we moved to it last year (5.0.x and 5.1.x) but I didn't have the source files from when we first installed it back then, so had to download a new copy to perform the reinstall this weekend.

The 200 parseerror problem did go away (and it also fixed another problem with the font formatting buttons not appearing previously come to think of it) but at the tradeoff of this new problem.

In that case I can't assist any further right now. The mod is working for me on vB 5.2.0 (Final), if newer versions of vB 5.2 broke it AGAIN then that's something I'll have to look into further when I have the time.

As you might imagine, I would strongly recommend avoiding vB5 if you intend to run custom modifications on your forum as these issues seem to have no end.

Fillip

I am running this on vb 5.2.1 and it works, but the "200 parseerror" comes up for a while every time upon first loading the site homepage, and then goes away as the shoutbox eventually works normally.

At the moment, we've not yet tested this mod on the latest version of vB5 so it's not guaranteed to be compatible.

Fillip

I'd be willing to pay for a version that works and keeps working on vb5, but it would need to be a little fancier than this lite shoutbox.

I've released a hotfix for the current version of vBShout over @ DragonByte-Tech.com :)


Fillip

Well the one you are selling, vBShout (vB5) [Beta] - looks just like what I have free on my site. Also someone above said that this beta version has its own issues with vb5.

Then again maybe I am misunderstanding you - what/where is this hotfix?

I updated the files available in the free & paid versions here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/store...hout-vb5-beta/

There were issues with the AdminCP, which have been fixed :)


Fillip

I got that, and thank you. I just don't see any difference between this
http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/store...hout-vb5-beta/
and the one I downloaded free here is what I am saying. As far as the way they are supposed to work, they both are identical.

After seeing this, I completely uninstalled, deleted the files, uploaded the new files and reinstalled, but same problem still with some links/buttons in the options not putting the "admincp" in the path. I'm running the 5.2.0 Patch Level 2 version of VB. Any thoughts?

Right someone earlier said that this newest version has issues of its own. With the one I have installed now, on a vb 5.2.1 site, at least everything works just the lingering "200 parsererror" that goes away after several seconds of "Loading...." anyway.

Can you try upgrading to 5.2.1? That's what I tested it on locally.

I can't replicate this, what version of PHP are you running?


Fillip

We're planning on upgrading to 5.2.1 in the coming days. Will let you know the result.
