Does anyone know if there's a FAQ or user instructions for this hack? My users love it but aren't the most chat literate folk.

Perhaps its an isp problem but the page refresh is whacked.... sometimes it doesnt refresh, sometimes it double posts. I have even had it refresh to older pages. The problem extends to the user list as well. Is my ISP perhaps cacheing the page and feeding an older copy at times?

Is there a different refresh method availible? I have had similar problems with other chats of the php/sql type. Would a java client version be possible? Java seems to be immune to the refresh problems (tunneling protocall ?)

Unfortunately I have tried every fix in this thread. Yep, i actually read the whole thing... LOL However, I can't even get it to show the users on forumhome :( It just says no users chatting when they are.

I have tried everyones fix to no avail. Everything else works like a charm though. I am using 3.0.1 if anyone can help I would be forever in your debt :D

GREAT HACK!!!

Thanks,
Miguel

Firstly thanks for the great hack - lovely clear instructions and took less than 5 mins to install :) you've made it the easiest hack I've ever installed :)

my qus are the same as most already asked & unanswered
- can I direct it to use smilies from my generic smilies list rather than all smilies
- can the history of posts be longer than 15 lines
- any improvement of screen flashing/refreshing would be a plus
- can I set the "create room" link to only show to certain usergroups? eg my paying ones :)
- Can we show the room that a user is in somewhere
- can autoprune be hours/mins rather than days

TIA

This is a great little mod :cool:. I have a few questions:

Is there any way a sound can be triggered if someone types a message, if you're in teh chat room, but have it open in another browser window / popup?
Can the mod be modified to include a way to invite someone to the chat room. I used to have this feature on vB2.x where they'd receive a popup, which the recipient could say 'Yes' or 'No' to. If they selected 'Yes, they'd be taken to the chat room
Can it be modified to show the current room you're in on the room itself
There's a bit of text on the forumhome that says 'No one is currently in vbchat'. I'd like to change that text, but I can't find it in the DB, templates or files themselves. Any ideas?

I think support for this hack is gone.

If you did everything right there should be a menu option for vBChat.

OK, for those of you who would like to put a "Users In Chat" block on your vBadvanced portal pages.....

First of all, this assumes that you have "Users Currently In vBChat" already working properly on your forum home page.

I have vb 3.0.3 and PHP 4.3.10 installed on mine.

First, go to the Style Manager > Common Templates

In the phpinclude_start field paste the following code:

PHP Code:


		
			
// For vBChat

require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php');



// ### LOGGED IN USERS ###

if ($vboptions['displayloggedin'])

{

    $datecut = TIMENOW - $vboptions['cookietimeout'];

    $numbervisible = 0;

    $numberregistered = 0;

    $numberguest = 0;



    $forumusers = $DB_site->query("

        SELECT

            user.username, (user.options & $_USEROPTIONS[invisible]) AS invisible, user.usergroupid,

            session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity, session.location,

            IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid

        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session

        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = session.userid)

        WHERE session.lastactivity > $datecut

        " . iif($vboptions['displayloggedin'] == 1, "ORDER BY username ASC") . "

    ");



    // Get the users in vBChat

    $vbchat_users = array();



    while ($loggedin = $DB_site->fetch_array($forumusers))

    {

        $userid = $loggedin['userid'];

        if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))

        {

            $userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;

        }



        if(preg_match("/vBChat.php/",$loggedin['location']) && $loggedin['userid']){

        $vbchat_users[$loggedin['userid']] = $loggedin;

        }



    }



    // Configure Peeps In vBChat

    $invBChat = "";



    if(is_array($vbchat_users)){

        foreach($vbchat_users as $invbc){

            if($invBChat == ""){

            $extra = "";

            } else {

            $extra = ", ";

            }



        // Get Username Style

        $invbc['musername'] = fetch_musername($invbc);



        $invBChat .= "{$extra}<a href='member.php?{$session['sessionurl']}&u={$invbc['userid']}'>{$invbc['musername']}</a>";

        }

    }



    if($invBChat == ""){

    $invBChat = "<i>None</i>";

    }



}

Then create a new custom template called adv_portal_inchat and place the following code in it:

PHP Code:


		
			
<!-- Start vBChat Users -->

<if condition="$show['member']">

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder"width="100%">

<tbody>

    <tr>

        <td class="tcat" colspan="2">

            <span class="smallfont"><strong><a href='vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]'>Users In Chat</a></strong></span>

        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_chatusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_chatusers]">

    <tr>

        <td class="alt2"><a href="vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_link.gif" alt="Chat" border="0" /></a></td>

        <td class="alt1" width="100%">

            <div class="smallfont">

                        {$GLOBALS[invBChat]}

            </div>

        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

</table><br>

<else /></if>

<!-- End vBChat Users -->

Then add a new cmps module with the following options:

Module Title: Who's In Chat
Template to include: inchat
Active: yes

That's it!!!

This code will only show the block to registered users. If you want guests to be able to see it just comment out the <if condition="$show['member']"> and <else /></if> tags from the template.

Now you can put it on any of your CMPS pages just like the other modules.
I'm sure that there's a better way to do it by including a file or something and someone who knows what they're doing can probably do it without adding a query but I couldn't. I just started messing around with this PHP stuff about 6 days ago when I installed vBulletin.

Hope it helps. It works on my board. :squareeyed:

From a post back on page 23 or so - an answer to the question of how to increase the number of lines shown in the main chat window past the default 15. I did it and it worked perfectly. Now I just need to keep digging through the past posts here and find the trick to slow that refresh down.

Quote:

1) increase the lines of chat in the buffer. I read I can do this by editing vbchat.php and changing:

left join ".TABLE_PREFIX."user u on (u.userid = m.s_postby) order by m.s_postime desc limit 0,15");

to

left join ".TABLE_PREFIX."user u on (u.userid = m.s_postby) order by m.s_postime desc limit 0,<some_larger_number>");

By the way - AWESOME hack - and awesome installation instructions. This was my very first hack I've ever installed. I definately look forward to future improvements in teh upgrade versions to come.

I've installed this excellent hack on a 3.0.0 vb but previously i installed the "members who have visited today" hack, the problem im having is that i cant display the number of active users on chat.

In the instructions you ask to change

PHP Code:


		
			
    while ($loggedin = $DB_site->fetch_array($forumusers))

    {

        $userid = $loggedin['userid'];

        if (!$userid)

        {    // Guest

            $numberguest++;

            $inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;

        }

        else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))

        {

            $userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;

        }

    }

But after installing "members who visited us today" this is what i have in the code i need to change.

PHP Code:


		
			
    while ($loggedin = $DB_site->fetch_array($forumusers))

    {

        $userid = $loggedin['userid'];

        if (!$userid)

        {    // Guest

            $numberguest++;

            $inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;

        }

        else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity']) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))

        {

            $userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;

            $numberregistered++;

            if ($userid != $bbuserinfo['userid'])

            {

                $inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;

            }

            $loggedin['musername'] = fetch_musername($loggedin);



            if (fetch_online_status($loggedin))

            {

                $numbervisible++;

                eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');

            }

        }

    }

how do i change the above code in order to show how many active users are in chat??

Thanks again for this great hack.

I'm having the issue with no one showing in the "Who's in vBChat" on forumhome. It worked great until the 3.0.4 update, now everything works except that one thing. Arrgh!

I don't know if this has already been mentioned but there are a few things I think could really make the chat better:

1. A Log Out of Chat Button - Most people don't log off the site when they leave and it looks like they are still in the chat room.

2. A Checkbox that users could select that would open the chat in a new window.

3. A payment option to get rid of all the branding.

Keep up the great work though!! Much appreciated!!

I actually had the same problem because this mod had me add text to the controlpanel/index.php file in the same spot that vbarcade did. which resulted in this text

Quote:

$printhr = true ;
construct_nav_option ( 'vBChat Options', 'admin_vbchat.php', ' ' ) ;
construct_nav_option ( 'vBChat Room Control', 'admin_vbchat.php?do=room', ' ' ) ;
construct_nav_option ( 'vBChat Prune Options', 'admin_vbchat.php?do=prune', ' ' ) ;
construct_nav_group ( 'vBChat Control', '<hr />' );
$printhr = false;

being one line too low. I moved it up one line above the <quote>$printhr = true ;</quote> that was already there and it worked.

I need a couple of hacks to this hack. Perhaps they are already there but I don't know where to look. First I would like to get rid of the Status:XXX field on every line and second I would like a smaller font.

I've used vbchat for a bit and it works great :D. However, we are planing on getting Flashchat for the site for certain reasons of growth. I've used this for a bit though and I will say it's awsome. I tried to uninstall, although there is no uninstaller:(. Almost like some of those hosting companys out there they don't let you leave:D. So, I will need to drop the tables manuely so it doesn't take up space. Which tables and sections of the user table, etc does the chat add to operate so I know which tables to drop without destroying my database? Yet again though the chat is great and I recomend it for anyone who wants a very nicly Vbulletin intergrated program.

I did an upgrade last night to vBulletin 3.0.5 and then reloaded my vBAdvanced pages. Everything was running great till I tried to reinstall my vBChat program. I forgot that the templates were untouched in the vB upgrade and I ran the clean install program. Best I can tell is that it tried to create templates that were already there and screwed something up, because now I cannot access the templates through Style Manager. I get this error message:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /includes/db_mysql.php on line

vBulletin folks just told me to pull all the hacks (only vBAdvanced and vBChat) and upload all the vB 3.0. 5 files again. I just don't want to take a chance on losing all the header and style stuff I've already done. Is there a way to access the template files (list, database, etc) to delete the vBChat templates. If I can do that I think it will work. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your input.

Zero Tolerance, are you out there? Are you working on future versions?

I love this hack, but there are a number of issues being brought up again and again on this thread. Just a simple "yep, I'm alive and working on this" would give us all a lot of peace of mind. :)

Thanks.

I changed 15 to 30 and got rid on the scroll bars in the window! I had made a mod for this from elsewhere in this thread and it didn't work. Now it does!

As to refresh, edit the template "chat_main"
Find:

Code:

setInterval("chatFrameReload()",8000)

Change the 8000 to what you want it to be.

8000 = 8 Seconds, Thus 10000 = 10 Seconds.

Currently, I'm using 10.

I'll try to write this up, but I'm a hack at code so you are on your own. Back up your stuff and don't harass me if it doesn't work for you. It works for me.

Insert in: vBChat.php

Code:

// Check Status

 

if($ThisMSG['vbchat_pref_status'] == ""){

$ThisMSG['vbchat_pref_status'] = "<i>None</i>";

}

 

// post time conversion

$mychat['time'] = vbdate($vboptions['timeformat'], $ThisMSG['s_postime']);

// end post time conversion

 

// WAAAAIT! Is this person ignored?

Original: Template: chat_row

Code:

<tr>

<td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top">[<span class='time'>Status: {$ThisMSG['vbchat_pref_status']}</span>] <b>{$ThisMSG['username']}:</b>

</td>

<td><font face='{$ThisMSG['vbchat_pref_font_face']}' style='color:{$ThisMSG['vbchat_pref_font_color']};'>{$ThisMSG['s_message']}</font></td>

Changed: Template: chat_row

Code:

<tr>

<td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top">[<span class='time'>{$mychat['time']}</span>] <b>{$ThisMSG['username']}:</b>
