First off,my members love this..THANK YOU.

I was just curious to know if there is anyway we can add to or change the currents text colors?? Or maybe change the background color to be different than the set forum color. I ask because my site colors are dark and there aren't a lot of colors that members can pick to be different from the others. This is not a problem I was just curious. Thank you in advance.

Thanks man! :D

dodjer42 08-22-2008 07:48 AM

So did anybody come up with a documented way of changing the layout so the text entry and textbox are vertically stacked rather than side by side?

BlissfulErin 08-22-2008 01:36 PM

the banned bb tags options do not work. I disable the img tag and it still allows my members to post img tags in the chat box.

coolhandscoot 08-23-2008 04:09 PM

Great, love it! Thx

Pearl 08-23-2008 05:39 PM

<u>for those whom seem to have trouble with the loading issue</u>

go to styles&templates>edit **your style** >open template "cyb_chatbox"

replace all misc.php with $vboptions[bburl]/misc.php?

use search function you will need it theres like 25 edits.

edit also

cyb_chatbox_archive_bit
cyb_chatbox_topchatters_bit

your box will display however new_post.gif will show a red cross thats because the settings in admincp under chatbox point to

images/statusicon/post_new.gif
images/statusicon/post_old.gif

changing the path will stop showing them in the forums, to solve that just make an image folder wherever you cmps_index.php file is or in the folder where your cmps_index file is or whatever you named that file.

public_html/images/statusicon/post_new.gif
public_html/images/statusicon/post_old.gif

note:with this fix it will also enable any page now where u add $cybchatbox
arcade.php, all_albums.php, albums.php etc....
note2: for custom pages still need to add the custom page name in "chatbox on"

*************************************
Show ChatBox on (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)
************************************************** ***
example line= Index,forumdisplay,showthread,newreply,arcade,albu m,all_albums,vbtubepro,adv_ind ex,

Cheers

using it on 3.6.10. So far I am in love.

Question.
I have searched 32 pages and probably missed the answer so an answer or directions to the answer would be appreciated.

I want the mods to be able to delete or edit messages, but not see the ip numbers. Can I edit one of the templates and remove this permission without affecting the ability to delete or ban?

AndyA 08-25-2008 09:36 AM

Installed, thanks.

soundbarrierpro 08-25-2008 04:08 PM

I have this installed on default style forum and cmps. I also have installed vbtubePRO, which the developer uses on his sales site. We've been trying to get this working and he's informed the $cybchatbox variable is coded on every single vbtube page. I add the template names in the ACP, but the chatbox just doesn't show up at all? Any idea's why this won't show up?
http://www.vbtube.com/forum/attachme...me-chatbox.jpg
As you can see, it works on his site but for myself and a couple other vbtubePRO customers it not work.

Improved chatbox performance....does this refer to bandwidth used and server loads?

Thanks.

No. if you use your chatbox as a means for constant interaction across the board it will create significant performance issues on server load.

I'd much prefer a private chat facility - can anyone recommend one?

I'd like to see that implemented in this mod! Many members are asking for that option...

periphrastic 08-25-2008 11:06 PM

thank you cyb, installed (a while ago)

so what's the remedy for the perpetual "loading" issue (no messages displaying, only "loading...")? i tried the resolution offered in this thread, with replacing "misc.php" with vboptions bb url/misc.php - not working for me. only "loading." nothing more.

Pirate45 08-26-2008 02:15 AM

QUESTION about this product (as I really like it): We can presently disallow usergroups from the chat and we can allow usergroups to see the chat but not post to it.

What I would like to do is to be able to have usergroup that would be publicly joinable that would be the only usergroup that could see/use the chat feature.

There are a number of people on our site that simply will not want to see or use this feature and if they never joined the usergroup they wouldn't.

Is this possible? If it is I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Right now I have it set that only staff can see/use this feature and I would like to open it to the membership but I want to offer it only to those that want to see it.

Thanks.

TMH63 08-26-2008 02:22 AM

Maybe this isn't what you'd like, but there is an option to have the chat box collapsed by default.

Quote:

ChatBox always collapsed by default (ChatBox Full not affected)
Select yes and those who don't want to see it....it will always be collapsed and those who do, can open it up.

Just an idea I guess.

Opera and FF works just fine. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

I too am experiencing this. anytime I try to go to archive with IE. I get alert box saying:
Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site
http://www.mysite.com/forumfolder/misc.php?do=ccarc
Operation Aborted.

With FF it doesn't have this problem.
I tried doing the .htaccess thing, but that did no good either.

Cybertims 08-26-2008 08:35 AM

Can it be made possible to have the chatbox show up inside a Notice?
I want to have a notice which opens on a specific day and time and have the Chatbox in there.

I have the Notice set up to open on that day and time but when I add $cybchatbox inside the Notice it only shows that text and not the Chatbox as planned...can this be done?

Cheers

PondPikey 08-26-2008 09:29 AM

Excellent mod Cyb!

Only things id like to see

- Optional layouts (message and format options below shout box)
- Change the height of the message box (Id really like to put an image below it)

Keep up the good work! :)

not 08-27-2008 02:35 AM

Great product.

I want to remove the ip address feature completely as it is viewable with permission in who's on line.

Going to cybernetec templates> cyb_archive_bit

Code:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">IP: <a href="online.php?$session[sessionurl]do=resolveip&amp;ipaddress=$cybcb_msg_arc[userip]">$cybcb_msg_arc[userip]</a></td></tr>
with limited knowledge, as far as I can tell, removing this should remove the feature without breaking. Am I correct?

boandmichele 08-27-2008 01:55 PM

again, any help on my pulsating site. it bumps the whole page up and down when the chatbox refreshes.

second, (newbie question) how would i exclude the chatbox archives in my robots.txt? yahoo is having a field day with it :|

haytham 08-27-2008 02:49 PM

Won't need to update. 2.0 is working fine on the latest VB. Thanks.

soundbarrierpro 08-27-2008 05:56 PM

Are there any re-write rules for the chatbox? I got bots crawling all over getting stops over and over.

billyb 08-31-2008 07:11 AM

I'd like to request a feature.

When ChatBox is embedded and a user has no permission to view or post, the ChatBox simply doesn't show. Is it possible to have a <div> in place of ChatBox that would inform such user that there is a ChatBox in existence however if one wants to use it they need to... then list the rules, for example to have minimum of x posts on the forums etc etc, basically the rules that come from ChatBox setup.

At the moment you have to manually advertise this elsewhere, it'd be good if it was automatic.

Thanks.

PS Also, I would love to see the message input field being flexible, i.e. to have a choice either to have it on the left of the messages or under. Not all the forums use the full width of the screen, so having it on the left only, makes messages area too narrow. I've edited mine but with new updates I'll need to do that again, so it would be cool to have an option for it in the setup.

Cheers.

Brad Jones 09-01-2008 12:04 AM

Cybernetec,

I would be pleased if, in an upcoming update, you could make an optional user option for placement of the chatbox, based on the 3 built-in choices currently provided, as well as an option for it to not be displayed at all.

With this proposed feature, users could, obviously, place it wherever they'd like, freeing up the admin of hearing anyone complain about it's placement.

Thanks for your time.

-- Brad

Michigan Morels 09-01-2008 07:47 AM

Great suggestion Brad!

CYP has good mods, but poor support. Seldom posts answers, or expects everyone to have coders knowlege, and is short with them.

I hope your listening/reading Cyb. I don't like to post the same questions as other users. I depend on you, seeing as this mod is "Supported" and wait until you answer the original question.

We've been waiting a long time on some of these issues/questions.

Maybe I should just start posting the same question as others have posted over and over, clogging the thread. Would that work?

I love your Mod ideas, but your support is lacking. At least read back a full month and answer.
Sorry to be blunt, but that is the way I see it.

And custom re-write rules.

Bug Report: When the Chatbox refreshes messages, the textbox gets enlarged by ~2 pixels when the grey text "Refreshing Messages..." appears; this makes everything move down and back up when that message appears/ disappears. This happens only in IE7 (Firefox 2 is fine). This is annoying for users since it appears that the page is moving. Can you please fix this bug or implement this:
Feature Request: Provide an option to NOT show the "Refreshing Messages..." text.

Videomaster 09-02-2008 07:44 AM

Hi!
To have ChatBox enabled on desired page:
1. THIS_SCRIPT must be defined in php file (by default all important vBulletin files has this)
I am not strong in programming. Write, please, an example how to define a script in php a file. For example, forumdisplay.php
Thanks.

You don't need to define anything in the default vB files, because they've already got it defined. In the case of forumdisplay.php:
Code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'forumdisplay');
So, if you wanted to only show it in forumdisplay.php, you would add "forumdisplay" to the appropriate editbox.

this is my third post on this very problem. consider the bug replicated in XP in firefox3. its annoying, and has made me take the box off every page, seeing as how the whole site jumped up and down. very disappointing.

strangely enough, firefox3 in linux, this problem does not occur...

if ANYONE has a fix, please post it. :confused:

andyv72 09-02-2008 10:47 PM

Andy
