Help in the chatbox is here to explain and the first post also list them all ...



IT's an option ... So Check all the options bud !ARG4 undefined means : you haven't imported the last english language file !

1/ No it's not possible but I could add this option.
2/ Ok noted in the bug list

Added to the bug list.

Well the restricted size is only for the dropdown menu possible selection.

The size restrict (real one) is the one of your forum, there is no way I can restrict it differently as I am using vB bbcode parsing function.

Read back, I don't understand anything :D

Is it possible you can change it so you don't use the settings from vbulletin for the bbcode size, so that way you can have your own settings, as in the forum I do not mind having a larger size font, but in the chatbox it is just plain horrible really. (maybe make it a pro only feature if you feel it is a lot of work)

Current Fix:
mgc_cb_evo.php

Search for:
You can find this 2 times in the php file (!)
Replace both times by:

i was talking with the author of the post, that had the same error of me

Fantastic stuff and speedy reply, merci beaucoup :)

yes thats it.

This Chatbox uses 1/4 of the resources of the other popular chatbox. I had the other one installed, and many people complained of how slow it was. When I installed this one, they immediately noticed the difference. I have 20 people at a time chatting with no problems.

Ok. If this is so DIFFICULT for you to understand I made you screenshot.

WHITE PAGE ON THE RIGHT SIDE!!!

What a dumb comment... Maybe because other mods aren't near as complex as this mod is either. This is BY FAR the best effin chatbox out there IMO! I have used at least 4 other chatboxes in the last 3 years and all of them were WEAKSAUSE compared to MGC EVO! Also VBDev is one of the best developers who has stood by his mod who is constantly on here helping everyone with their issues. Just look thru this entire thread and you can clearly see almost everyone one of VBDev's posts also always filled with 5 or 6 quotes answering everyones questions and trying to fix everyones issues...

I challenge you to find another chatbox for vb that has as many features as MGC and a developer that stands by his mod as good as VBDev does....

Don't worry I'll wait...... :rolleyes:

Now i can specify the error...
If i move a thread with a move notice in the old sub-forum i become the error.

Oh ok =)

That's odd ! I tested in Opera and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the comment :)

Oh ok, is the mgc_cb_evo.php file present in the acp ?

Ah ah nice answer ;)

Am adding it to the bug list to fix.

I installed the chatbox 2 weeks ago and it was perfect. Yesterday I updated and first it didn' t work at all.
Box appeared, but it was loading...loading.....and it wasn't possible to write.

Now it works, but only this way:

I opened "Chatbox display on forumhome" and replaced this tag:
$find_text = '$forumhome_markread_script';

with this one:
$find_text = '$$chatbox_forumhome';

It's only working with 2 $ and only in forumhome, not on other sites.

What exactly do you mean? I have this file in my root folder - public_html.

There is also a mgc_cb_evo.php that have to be uploaded in the admincp-folder.
(It is not the same like this in the forums root)

Yes.. im looking to for the beste Version from the 1,xxx to !!!

The Version 2 , xxx is to slow and to Big. It's not realy a small Chatbox. It's a elephant :(

Where i can get the best Version 1, xx.. i Thing, it was the 1,5?

Ok, mod is working now. Acp can means so many things :)
Thanks!!!

This is not "a whell known" problem, most of the users are having it working.

Only users that have it not working complains ;)

And by the way man keep calm and keep the bold font for you ...

In 2.x.x versions I have moved the whole javascript to yui to be compliant with vBulletin that's all.

If you are having loading issue that could be due to anything, and saying "Ho man I have a loading issue and bla bla bla this is bad bla bla bla" is not a way of resolving things out.

Most of the time it's a cache refreshing problem and if I am saying this each time it's because most of the users don't read the previous posts ...

Anyway, please send me by pm a test account to your forum and I'll have a look.

I also need ftp and admin account accesses in order to see what could cause this.

IT WAS MOOTOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE XXXX!!!

a plugin add mootools before the href to the yahoo yui.. and so there where some components that make the chat unavaible!!


incredible!
put it in the bug error list :)

Which mod are you using that add mootools ?

Is it possible to display the chatbox in custom possitions then just the default above and below? Is there some code I could paste in where I want to display?

For exp: I like the option of displaying on forum home below but not exactly where the default position is, i want it a bit lower because it slightly make my template look broken as is. Where can I find that code to move it a little but still be able to control it?

Hi VBDev!

Perhaps You know why it only works with this code?? If I change it it doesn't appear at all.

greez

Can someone please help me with the above request? I really would want to know if there there is a way to move the chatbox.

i was going to buy a branded free.. but it stopped with within a few hours after install. :((

Sorry, that is not correct. All Admins i know have Problems with Vers. 2,x
They all mean, to slow, to big and full of Bugs.

The best testet Version is 1.5 here.
Runs on 3.8 xxx easy an fast. And displayed in online.php an other sides. Simply, the best one ;)

That I think is addded up top (go look), or it's part of the branded free option. But let VBDev verify. He's looking at adding it to the side. But you gotta give him time to reply bro. Not only does he make/support multiple products and support them well, but he's also got a life too.

I've been using this product since he released it (before the EVO one) and if you read through the pages of posts, results happen. But you can't expect results from a post like yours. "It stopped working" helps zilch bro. Did you get any errors? If you start up firefox error console, do you see any? Does it not work for just a few, etc etc? See what I mean.

If it just stopped, maybe someone changed usergroup permissions. It's looking more and more like vb 3.8.1 is causing the issues.


You are comparing something that's been out for how long, through how many revisions to a totally new re-coded chat? He recoded this from the ground up, give it time. Nothing is bug free. I've been on 2.10 and I've stayed there for a reason. I've learned from being a Network Admin, you don't install the latest until it's been tested and out for a while. I'd revert to 2.0.2 or 2.1.0 before 1.5.

By people reporting bugs/issues, gets results. Do you think builds before 1.5 were stable and fast? ;)

Thank You so much! Vielen Dank!
I'll uninstall the 2... version and take this one (I used this before but I didn't find the download link again!)

Dankbare Gr??e
Karin

Not sure why, but for some reason the down arrow for the Actions Menu, that was previously appearing to the left of each username in the chatbox has now disappeared.

I've verified permissions, and even my administrator account can't see it. Everything else works fine, and commands can be carried via typing them (/slap, /pm, /ban, etc), but that handy Actions menu has gone. Not even a box with a red cross... just nothing at all.
Any ideas?

You can do that by using the "style issue fix" explained in the readme.

Even if you don't have style issue this will let you add it wherever you want.

That's ok :)

Yes server was down, but no it's fine.

That's strange, coz currently I went on your website and chatbox runs smoothly, chats are refreshed and sent without any issue in Firefox.

You shouldn't use two $ that's totally uneeded.

Perhaps you put the wrong code in the template ?

It's like you were comparing a french "2 Chevaux" with a recent BMW ...

And vBulletin coding is not my job at all ;)

I have : a job (digital electronic engineer), a own company who sale electronic boards, and vbulletin ... :D and a life :eek:

Agreed !

Yes and the issue doesn't come from the chatbox. Other ajax functionnalities are touched.

We were having this problem on forumcoding and were forced to deactivate zlib due to that ... But no answer from Jelsoft team :(

When did it stop working ?

Is there a post on VB.com about this? If so I'll bump it. You can PM me link if you rather. I've noticed that 2.1.0 and 3.8 RC4 have been fine. I haven't gone to 3.8 final yet, or 3.8.1 but at least we know it's not the chatbox.

Anything that can be tried/tested/etc to resolve this? Or it's just wait on Jelsoft to give us the wtf is up?

Insomnia + Ideas + Servers next to me = I need to stop having ideas.

Brain fart: I'll pm you, cuz this might get too many people thinking. LOL! And just sent and now my brain hurts.

Nope sorry I don't have the link

Hi VBDev,

Safari-problem still exist:
I just reinstalled your mod. Replaced all files with the new ones. Reimported Language and Product and cleaned my cache (even tried another newly reinstalled Mac).

But the problem is still there. Safari shows ONE old chat-line, as the first line, screenshot:

Attachment 94811

After I load the notifications in a separate Query, Safari works again! Hope my tip can help others :)

I found my problem, it was the same as gamespire's, I am using TCattd - The Image Resizer it uses mootools.js and slimbox.js. Once I turned that mod off the chat started working in FF and Safari.

It was working when I was using the older version of the shoutbox on my 3.8.1 then I upgraded to the newer version for 3.8.x and it stopped working. I configured it all but it just won't show up on the forum now'

2 days ago, everything was perfect. Yesterday, the down arrow just vanished. The only singular change on the forums between now and then, was I turned on the "Who's Online" function (so it appears beneath the chatbox), and turned off the use of the "Who's Online" button... at the request of my forum members. Other than that, nothing.

A revert back to the Who's Online button, didn't bring the down arrow for the Actions menu back (tried already).

Usergroup options set?
