Good for you.. :disappointed:

Is there anywhere to make it beep when someone comes in or says something????

Also, everytime it refreshes a member on the side goes away then comes back. is that maybe because they are on two differnt pages at once??

Other then that I love the chat.


--- EDIT ---

Also I read that you got rid of the timestamp and replaced it with the member status. How could I get the Timestamp back??? and remove the status???

One more :)

would it be possible to link to a certain room??? like if I made an Admin/Mod chat(password protected), could I have a link so they don't have to go into the main chat first?? or maybe linked to the change room page. Just a thought I guess.


Thanks

very awesome hack...wish it didnt reload like that though..only complaint

hey any reason why it only adds the templates to the default skin?
And how would i do this for my other skins without doingit manually

.matt

Make your other skins the default skin one at a time, and just run that portion of the install for each skin.

compliments for the script.
i have a problem: users are not shown in user's on line, neither in chat users on line.

i second this need as well.. considering many use vbadvanced as the main page, it would be a HUGE bonus to have a module to display the chatters on the main page... instant traffic to the chat room :)

ahh.. btw.. its installed in our community of over 10K members and works great! :) ...excellent job!

How do I go about changing the background color of my chat?

Hi,

Just installed version 1.1.1 on my two forums, excellent stuff! Glad you released an updated version because I could not get the other versions to work for some reason.

Anyway thanks for the hack :)

taffy

I am trying to figure out how you edit the default room. I see I edit the rooms that I have inputed, but the default page does not show up in the vchat room control. I just don't want a room that says default.
Thank you, it works great and we are already enjoying it.

also it may be nice to make a modual with the main chat room in it for the home page

Anyway to kick auto-kick idle users, since it refreshes every x ammount of seconds, it keeps them as 'online' in the current minute. Probably bad for bandwidth & is a pain.

Also, anyway around the bug relating to the # of users online?

Very sweet addition! Got one question though. At the end of the instructions, there is this last thing to do:


Go to your Admin CP, then go to the following area:
Scheduled Tasks -> Add New Scheduled Task

Fill in the form as follows:
Title: vBChat Auto Prune
Day of the Week: *
Day of the Month: *
Hour: 0
Minute: 2
Log Entries: Yes
Filename: ./includes/cron/vbchat.php

Well, I don't have this setting to choose from in my admincp....what to do?

ok, does the above info mean that this needs to run every 2 minutes every day of the week every month of the year? I can use wget and windows task manager until I find a fix for this issue...anyone else using this to run maintanence?

I made the mistake of attempting to upgrade from 1.0.0 to 1.1.1 using the upgrade script (1.1.0-1.1.1). I did not seem to have a problem when running the install script even though it was obviously it is the wrong script. Anyway, when I update my "vBChat Options" I get the following database error:

Ideas?

The bug on the forum home showing who's online is really bugging me (shows I am only one online, when there are others online). Any way to fix this?

I just installed this and although a room is created when I enter one, i'm never forwarded on to the next page or given a confirmation. It looks like it takes, and i can even join the room - but even on the join room page, when i select the room and click to get there, the page still never refreshes. Is anyone else seeing this? It looks like all my templates are there - what gives?

Is there a way to turn that clicking refresh of the page sound of from IE globally (like so all my users don't have to mess with their audio settings?)

this is a great mod - thanks. my only suggestions would've been to add a global phrase for vbchat so the word 'vBchat' could be changed throughout the navigation and chat pages and maybe provide a little more control on where the smilies are coming from. I have some smilies that are really tall (like a BS Flag) and when those happen to show themselves, the chat window is pretty much one line. Where is it pulling the default smilies from? is there a way to control this?
how about an uninstall script (for those like me, that tried to modify some stuff and didn't know what they were doing....) actually - after editing some of this, it would be really handy if there was an uninstall script or someone could just tell me how to do it manually. I shudder at the thought of messing with mySQL tables knowing what I did the last time. OOOPSIES.

Thanks for an awesome mod, however - really cool.

There is a security hole in this hack!
If a person logs into your forum, enters the chatroom, then logs off, then clicks their back button they can post in the chatroom and it doesn't show a member/user name. If you refresh the screen then you see the No Guest Access message.

oh man, better contact macafee (sorry, just kidding....)

About the blinking/refresh thing. I ran PHPMyChat for a while, and as far as I can tell, theat uses a similar refresh system, but it doesnt blink. Anyone know how they got round the issue?

Macafee sucks! I'd call Symantec.

It's not a big deal but I do have some members that like to spy on other members to see if people are talking about them. Kind of childish if you ask me but still, I don't need the headaches on my fourms so I'd like someone to fix the problem, if it's possible.

anyone ever get rid of the horizontal scrollbars in IE in the main chat window?

and for the love of Christ i cannot find the text where is says "No one is currently inside vBChat"... where is that? is the 'vbchat' part calling on the actual name of the script? anyways...please advise, cheers

How does one go about unistalling this script?

I fixed mine by just putting <div style="width:100%"> after $header and </div> after {$chat_page} on the CHAT template. Take a look at mine here :

Hi ZT,

Great hack, really great. I just have one question; Is there a way to increase the chat buffer?

Cheers

That's what I"d like to know - anyone?

I believe you run the install script again, and select Uninstall.

great script

i wanna show who's in the chat room on a non-vb page
anyone have the code for this?

was anyone able to fix the "who is online in the vbchat" error? (wouldnt show user even if he was there)

Still wondering about this...

People like to jump between the different rooms I have set up in vBChat. However, once people are chatting they have no indication of *which* room they are currently in.

Is there a way to display the NAME of the chatroom on the main chat window while people are chatting?

Also, once people "join" a different chatroom, they are brought back to the same "choose a chatroom" screen. Is there a way for them to be automatically jumped INTO the chatroom they have selected from the "join a chatroom" screen? It's a bit confusing the way it works right now.

Is anyone else trying to do this?

oh nvm i tried it again and it works.
Does anyone know how to make a "Who is in vBChat" module for CMPS vBAdvanced home page please? I need it very much.

ok, i took the code needed from the whats going on box in the forumhome template and updated it and put it in the who is online module.

What do i need to change/add in the onlineusers.php for the code to work?

Please help me, this is urgend. Thanks in advance

I did the same thing. You need to go to your SQL tables and drop anything with VBChat in it. There should be two user files and two main files. Then try to install. You should get another error since the SQL tables are now gone. I did that and it installed fine.

i have installed it but getting a blank white page ??? at http://www.DNuk.co.uk any ideas what i have done wrong appreciate guys.

thanks

Question..

Everything installed find and functions fine except the "Users Currently inside vbchat" it doesn't pull the user names from there it's just blank. Any ideas?

Installed on vb 3.0.3

The page loads very quick, I can not read when there're many people in chat room :(

*click* install:)

My 1st mod used.

=MikaK=

Hi all.

I have done a fair bit of searching and index file hacking, but cant still get any users to show in the "online" box.

If theres a way to hack this to work in 3.0.3 I (and probably others) would love to know.

My deepest gratitude in advance.
