hmm is there a way the chatbox can display asian characters? chinese? if so can you please tell me how?

OK so yeah, the problem I was/am having is with the smilies dropdown. For some reason the image for the smilie isn't loading 100% of the time and its screwing up there rest of the chatbox for me. Here is an example of what I'm talking about

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/08/72.jpg

Can anyone help me as this is really starting to be a pain in my a$$

For me, when i click the smilies droplist... before i get to select one, the page does some autorefresh and the smilies droplist dissapear. I must be really fast to be able to select a smilie. Can the autorefresh be slower or not affect the smilies ?

Search for this line in the chatbox template:

Change the 1000 to whatever works good for you and this should fix your problems.

What could be the problem if the users writing settins are not saved?

Say a user changes the text color, types a few sentences and then leaves the chat. The next time he or she come's back, the color are changed back to default again.

wow this is amazingly easy. thanks

These settings are saved in cookies, so those users must be clearing them or has some problems with the browser or javascript.

Can this also be added on vbacmps?

as an admin (and admin only), how can I clear the contents of the chat box?

site seems much slower. is that normal?

It's not saving the cookies. If you use firefox and clear your private data everytime you close it, this is your reason :)

Gee, uninstalled :(

So I ask again. Is there a way to create a functional vba module or to add this to vbadvanced like MGCChat EVO?

I asked this a few days ago to no response. Support obviously doesn't include these type of questions.

Theres too maany questions piled up into one thread.

Very easy to use, perfect for a small gaming guild...or anyone who needs a simple to install and simple to use interface for a smaller forum. :up:

Have read through the entire thread. Made some mods others couldn't seem to find...but now I seem to be stumped on something and was wondering if someone could help...

Our vBulletin forum site uses various styles ranging from shades of white to shades of black. This makes certain font colors difficult to read on specific other styles.

To cope with this I've modified the background color of the message and message input areas to stay a static white, as well as modified the list of available colors (the drop-down box) to only darker ones which show up well.

The problem is if someone doesn't select a text color and they are set to 'default', there are certain darker styles in which their text will not be readable in the chatbox or message input areas.

Is there a way to set a default text color and if so - can you point me to the line of code?

Don't you think a simple "yes or no" response could fix that problem real quick? If yes, give us a link to where to find the info. If no, then post this in BIG RED LETTERS "IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VBA" in the above install notes.

See, that took me 8.9 seconds to type.:eek:

Love this.. Simple and easy to use.. Well Installed

installed and working perfectly

Hi How about cmps? Anything?

There seems to be quite a few of us interested in using this with vBAdvanced but it's not working now and the author doesn't seem interested. I can't complain though, it wasn't designed for vBAdvanced and it does work well in the regular forum area. Plus it's free. But i still want a chatbox for my vBAdvanced home page, any other ideas?

I'll check it when I have some time. Last time I used vBA CB worked fine with it when you globalize variable and add location to hack settings.

So...can someone help me find the piece of code so I can set the default text for the chatbox to black instead of having it automatically be set to the user's current style font color? Please.

is there a way to make the chatbox use the unicode charset? i want to be able to chat in chinese and read on chinese on the chatbox

I did try the globalize variable thing but I'm not sure what you mean by add location to hack settings. Thanks for you effort. :up:

@austinv.....

If you figure this out can you share the wealth? There's a lot of us who want to add this to cmps.

Thanks

To have ChatBox enabled on desired page:
1. THIS_SCRIPT must be defined in php file (by default all important vBulletin files has this)
2. Hack options - You must add THIS_SCRIPT value for target page to "Show ChatBox on" setting field
3. Main template called on target page must contain "$cybchatbox" variable

To have ChatBox enabled on vBa CMPS:
1. Hack options - Add "adv_index" to "Show ChatBox on" setting field (values in this field should be separated by commas) > Save
2. vBa CMPS Default Settings - add "cybchatbox" to "Portal Output Global Variables" field (values in this field should be separated by carriage return) > Save
3. [Optional] Template "adv_portal" - add "$cybchatbox" to line where you want ChatBox to appear (for example below "$navbar") > Save

2x Cyb!

No need for #3. If you do this, it'll add two chatboxes on your cmps below $navbar. Working like a charm. Thanks :)

***EDIT....you should add this to your install notes as another advantage to using the utility. I think a lot more members will go with this because of it's ease of use.

We are using this very active on our forum. Missing a "beep" or a sound saying there is a new message there.. maybe controlled with a checkbox default off.. would be nice as I am not always looking at the chatwindow...

I have followed the instructions but can not get the chatbox on the vBa CMPS. I don't have a "portal output global variable" field. I have a "global vBandvanced settings" with header, navbar and footer replacement fields.

*Okay to see that "portal output global variable" I had to go to Default Settings then click on Main Options
By doing this and adding "adv_index" I get no results, but if I do step 3 also I get the chatbox but it says "loading" all the time. I am stumped.

Okay I have checked and rechecked, even upgraded chatbox. Still same thing, it works on forumhome, but loading on my vBa CMPS. Are these two linked? Meaning what is posted on one is posted on other?

Is there a way to ban users from Editing their previous posts? I see an option to keep them from deleting, but how about Editing? There is a bug that if you ban IMG tags, users can still post a message, then edit that message and add an IMG tag to make the photo show up. Is there a way to prevent users from Editing their own posts?

For anyone still having issues with vBA and Cyb Chat, Cyb Chat won't work with vBA if vBA is located in another directory than your forums.

I used the Custom Vb pages in the articles section.

I'm wondering how do I get the Chat box to show there.
I have tried to add $cybchatbox but it doesn't show.

Help?

Not for anything.....but why would you put vba in another directory besides the forum directory? VBA is supposed to be installed in the forum directory.

Actually it can be installed outside of the forum directory as well as inside. I just had it installed by the vBa guys and this is how they installed it.

I have been having an issue with not staying logged in since I upgraded to the new version anyone else having this issue?
