I am running php 7 with vb 5.2.1 but even before when I was on php 5.4 it was the same. vbshout works but this "200 parsererror" always appears upon first loading the shoutbox, and then goes away after a little while.

I just did a completely fresh new install of vb 5.2.1 on a different website, different host running php 5.4 and it is the same with shoutbox on that site. ]

In both cases, I am installing the shoutbox that is coming off this thread right here.

The files on vB.org have not been updated to reflect the changes made in recent vB5 version to the AdminCP paths. This will be corrected in the near future.

Not sure what is going on but when using the shoutbox I get this error at the top every now and again.

Error: 200 parsererror

Also whenever I click on a button for shoutbox in the admin such as "Add New Chatroom" it brings me to a page where it shows the normal forum and the message "Invalid Page URL. If this is an error and the page should exist, please contact the system administrator and tell them how you got this message."

Not sure what is going on. On a side note all the buttons in the normal vbulletin admin work fine.

This:

Invalid Page URL. If this is an error and the page should exist, please contact the system administrator and tell them how you got this message.

is making it impossible to change any of the admincp settings.

This product does us no good if it is visible to unregistered guests.

I'll update the files here @ vB.org within the week in order to eliminate this confusion.

Fillip

Tested and working fine for me on 5.2.1 here, but as others have mentioned your admincp settings are completely out of whack ... we cannot save any of the settings in this mod as we keep getting hit with the "invalid page url" msg that @ProSportsForums posted above

Will look for your update to the admincp ... thx anyway for this really nice mod @DragonByte Tech

Okay here are my findings, when I uploaded the version of shoutbox here from this vbulletin.org thread and ran it on my vb5 forum, it worked (more or less) except for the parsererror200 at the beginning.

Then when I upgraded the server to PhP 7, the shoutbox did not work at all - any entry of a "shout" would result in no post, nothing.


Then I went here, to:
http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/store...hout-vb5-beta/
and downloaded the "demo" version which after download, it is noted as the same version as what I got from this thread 6.1.0a8 [lite] but is according to DB tech an updated version even though version number have not been changed, which apparently it IS updated, because this version seems to work on my vb 5.2.1 PhP 7 running forum.

However, be aware that after first uploading the files, CH mod'ing to 777 and uploading the XML file, your forum may upon first load look scarily whacked, then on second refresh of browser you will get a not found server error, and then finally, the forum will load properly and vbshout will work.

I put out a hotfix that should resolve ACP issues.

Fillip

Still not fixed. Will not save settings. Invalid URL error.

I'm unable to replicate this issue. Have you renamed your AdminCP? If so, change it back to the default and see if this works for you.


Fillip

No, it's a default installation of 5.2.1 and this is the only modification installed.

Yes I get the same invalid URL error if I try to edit anything then save. Nothing is saved from the vbshout ACP just get that error.

But the shoutbox works okay.

I have it in a module under the Welcome module, and the shoutbox tends to be very w i d e , s t r e t c h e d out. I mean it looks weird no matter how wide you stretch the browser you still don't get to see the right side (end) of the Shoutbox module.

See, it doesn't look right, it works, but it sticks out like that at the edge of the forum, always looking cut in half.

If you post this on dbtech forums they will go into your site and fix the problem for free

Ditto that here as well and the rest of his other mods that supposedly fixed the admin settings...

That sounds all good and dandy and some people may actually prefer that, but certainly not me. Not that I don't trust dbtech support but that I rather do the fix myself. But that may just be me. Certainly no rush on the admin fix I know you busy as heck with other projects and I respect that! Thx for the mod it works fine just a little buggy is all. ;)

ForceHSS is a helpful member he is not DBTech. He has been trying to advise me and I appreciate that.

You can't use the SB in that location, please add it to the main forum area and not the sidebar area.

Also Force is right, the only way any admin settings issues can be resolved is if someone PMs me with an FTP and AdminCP account.

I've tested it multiple times with the files available here @ vb.org on vB 5.2.1 and it's working perfectly fine for me.


Fillip

In a bit I will send you full access to a test site I just set up with ftp and admincp access. Have 3 dbtech products installed - thanks, vbshout, and vbarcade.

Try the updated download, I believe I discovered the problem. It was an issue with the way my release builder script ran when dealing with the vB5 products.

Fillip

Looks good!! Just went and changed a bunch of settings and they all saved.

Fixed. Thank You.

Installed the update from this thread. Thanks.

Now, when I change settings, yes, it DOES allow the save - but for example when I go to
DBTech - VBShout / Instance Management
click Edit
then try to change the Title of the Shoutbox to something else - it saves it but nothing happens, the title remains Shoutbox

Nothing else works either - for example I changed the setting for "Disable Shout Sound" from No to Yes, clicked Save, it appeared to save, but when I went back into it still was clicked No. Same with Instance Permissions - Nothing seems to save.

DC did you change settings and then check to make sure they actually saved, or just assume all was well because no longer the redirect error?

Hi there,

Have you tried using the Site Manager to change the title of the module there? That should do it :)

As for the other things, are you running Suhosin or do you have max_input_vars set to the default 1000? If so, disable Suhosin and/or set that php.ini flag to 100000 instead, try that :)


Fillip

I don't know what Suhosin is so I assume, no. :-) When I tried to add that 100000 code into php.ini the whole site went kaput so I removed it quickly.

I clicked to edit that module with site manager there was no option or way I could see to change its title.

Are you sure you edited the file correctly, as there should be no problems with editing php.ini.

Fillip

Dragon I am on a shared server at hostgator. I determined that max_input_vars is set to a default 1000. However when I went into php_ini I did not see any line of code that matches "max_input_vars" so I didn't know how to boost this. I spoke to hostgator but they said that I am on my own with this. One person at HG said you may do it, another said no, it is locked may not change that seting.

HG does not run Suhosin, confirmed this. They run something called suphp if that matters.

So anyway, in php.infi there is no line of code that matches
max_input_vars

I stuck this line
max_input_vars=10000
into my php.ini file, underneath these three:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 256M

I didn't want to push it to 100000 so it's 10000 for now.

I have verified that max_input_vars is now 10000

I AM now able to alter and save settings for the shoutbox. I did change the name so that it is no longer shoutbox. That changing the max_input_vars did the trick.

How do I delete a chat room under Chat Room Management? All I see is option to turn it off but how delete entirely?

Glad you got it working :)

For archiving purposes, chat rooms cannot be deleted at this time, only de-activated.


Fillip

I uploaded files...edited my php.ini file and restarted apache server. I have made 3 posts in my new shoutbox and now it wont even recognize or accept any of my posts or even as a active user.

Looks to be working okay with vb 5.2.2 except I do not see the smilie button. In the instance management I can disable all of the editor toolbars and all are removed.

Go back in and enable them and all show except for smilies button.

The Smilie feature does not exist in vB5 at this time, sorry.

Fillip

UPDATE: We upgraded to 5.2.2 after first uninstalling and completely removing any files associated with vbshout and infopanels from the site. After the upgrade, I downloaded your newest iterations of both mods, uploaded to our site, installed fresh and everything is now functioning perfectly! Thanks for your work and and quick responses to these issues! It is highly appreciated by a lot of people!

@Fillip

I am a little lost. I installed the lite version before trying out the full pro version. The shouts work but no other notifications do. Nothing comes up in the box when making posts and replying to posts. My site is here ( https://www.christforums.org ) and the shoutbox is activated.

I didn't know whether I should post here or in Dragonbyte's support forum?

Thanks,
William

Edit: I just purchased and installed the Pro version, and added all forum channels to the activity stream. Same problem, I posted in Dragonbyte's support forum for support.

Shimei, did you get some resolution on this issue? I went to your forum recently did not see the shoutbox on the home page anywhere, is it visible only to reg members?

No, the shoutbox has missing features. This is purely a shout box and does not display latest replies or threads like their site functional demo which uses Vb4. When those missing features appear I will more than likely, then, replace infopanels with the shoutbox.

Is all I get by using it on vb 5.2.2
Error: 200 parsererror

I'm not able to replicate this issue, could you please use the developer tools in your browser to inspect the AJAX request or check your PHP error log?


Fillip

The problem is that when I install vbshout v6 I get error 200 parse error
can you help?

Vbulletin 5 Connect v5.2.2
vBShout V6

Can you check your server's error log for any PHP errors? Also, what's your PHP and MySQL versions?

Fillip

The new vb 5.2.3 is supposed to have some kind of built in chat.

Not really the same thing....at all. But thanks for the heads up.
