Hello,

Kind regards,

How Do I Stop The Messages In The Chatbox From Dissapearing After A Few Hours.?

Hi all,

I've got it working :D

However, i've no avatars displaying. All i get is the attached? Checked the settings and im not sure what else i can do?

i also havent got number of people online despite it being switched on? all very odd!

ok, think ive fixed most things!

it was down to user permissions!

Sorry - the only 2 things i cannot get sorted are the online at the bottom and displaying peoples avatars???

To Remove Online User Below: ACP > MGC Chatbox Evo > MGC Chatbox Evo : Advanced options > Show online users list in a tab = YES > Save

Avatars To Display: ACP > MGC Chatbox Evo > MGC Chatbox Evo : Chats diplay > Show a thumbnail of the user's avatar = YES > Save


hope it help you....best regards


;)

can anyone help me out i cant get the automatic chats removal to work even though automatic chatbox digest is activated

I am trying to change the background color where the chat is displayed. The forums colors are light and some of the font colors are not so dark. I only want to change the chatbox.

I am also having trouble with my channel icons. I cant get them to work,

Thank you,

You can change the font color in the "UserGroups". You can give every group a other color :)

Like they won't show up or they don't do anything?

I dont want to change the font, I want to change the background of the chatbox only. I know how to change the font.

Correct, they will not show up. They are the same size, and everything. I followed the instruction, placed them in the right folder. I didnt add the file extension nor the sel/nosel/new suffix.

I don't see a readme file... I uploaded everything in the Files and Images, now what?

If you're sure you followed the instructions correctly, I don't know what else it could be. Hopefully, you selected who could access the channel. Other than that, I have no idea.

Yes, there is a .html file in there.

EDIT: finally all set, thanks for the chatbox, running smoothly.

Yet another chat mod removed for lack of Clear, Concise, WORKING instructions regarding installing in a forum / frontpage Powered by vBadvanced CMPS v3.2.0. I have tried everything listed here but to no avail. Can anyone provide clear instructions on how to actually make this work?

hi trying again to remove this, does anyone have MGC Chatbox evo v0.3.0

I need this download to properly uninstall this chat app, sadly its screwing up my forum on every attempt to get rid of it and i cant find a download anywhere for it :(

HOW DO I STOP automatic chats removal PLEASE GUYS HELP ME

Still looking for help on why my icons are not working for the channels. And also for changing the background of the chatbox.

Hum that might be a bug, I am adding this to the todo list and will give it a look as I was going to release the new chatbox version by the end of the week.

They do not dissapear. If you have the notifications active and you haven't activated the "Separate chats and notifications queries" to yes then if lots of users posts there will be more notifications and the oldest chat will dissapear from the chatbox though being seen in the archives.

Is this what you were experiencing ?

Well then it's certainly because your VPN server is slow or because your forum already had lots of images and so on and it takes time to load them ?

The permissions for the channels is in the channels management page in the admincp and the refresh rate is userroup based so you can find it in the usergroup permissions page.

The way to add the chatbox to the arcade pages is explained in the readme, you should read it !

Well this totally depends of the forum style, it could be that the alt1 is perfect but not the alt2.

The chatbox is natively developped for the default style, then if you want to fit it for your exact needs in terms of color and shape up to you to modify the templates, see my point ?

Well they don't dissapear it's because you have not enabled the "Separate chats and notifications query" options to yes. So if lots of users post then there will be notifications retrieved and less chats.

Well upload the files in the correct directories ;)

Search in this thread this has already been stated.

Well have you change the number of days option in the chatbox settings ?

Well I don't like vBAdvanced and don't have it, per consequence I haven't done any effort so far to make it work on vba.

I might have a look at it soon.

Well what error do you get ?

They just don't show or ? What have you put in the channel icon field ? Where are your images in your forum folders and what are their name ?

THANX SO MUCH U HELP ME SO MUCH

I have tried to get this to work for a long time. But it still dosnt work for me :(
It works in small window at the forum home site, but in full size (forum/..../evo_cb_evo.php) full mode - it just reload. It can reload for ever, and never show anything. :)

Same problem here...




****

And one more thing.... is it possible for someone to write me the code, for a link in the navbar menu?

I know that. My point is that those options aren't granular enough. I want to be able to allow my premium users to have more BBCode options than a normal user. The granular controls are in the main "Chats formatting and sending" global config, not usergroup config.

I have BBCode on, but Font controls off (since I can't limit who can use them by usergroup), yet the font control are still visible, but don't function.

No, embedded below. The font sizes are HUGE. I am able to choose "smallfont" styles for everywhere but the lower embedded online users area.

I have many themes. Some are light, some are dark. I don't want the chat area to be dark, for readability reasons.

I was just saying that "open in new window" should open in a new window, not a tab. It's fixable with javascript, no big deal. That was the first complaint I got during beta testing.

Nevermind, it only counts for users like myself who can see invisible users. :D

Just use the Style Manager and edit the templates associated with the chatbox. You can use the Style Manager's search function to find all instances of alt1 and alt2 and reverse them. It took me 2 minutes to hit them all.

anyone help I am trying to expand the box where you add your message (make wider) looked every where, cant find it thanks in advance

Channel Image Problem Solutions:


For each Channel, you have to create 3 gif images which ends like below:

• _sel.gif (image displayed when channel is selected) (original color image): http://epaloids.com/images/misc/mgc_...hannel_sel.gif
• _nosel.gif (image displayed when channel is not selected) (slight transparent of the original image): http://epaloids.com/images/misc/mgc_...nnel_nosel.gif
• _new.gif (animated image displayed when the channel contains new message, if warn system is active): http://epaloids.com/images/misc/mgc_...hannel_new.gif

This is why it says to not put the end of the image name.

For example, if you name your images :

• staffchannel_sel.gif
• staffchannel_nosel.gif
• staffchannel_new.gif

Into ACP > MGC Chatbox Evo > Manage channels > Add Channel

Name of the channel image
Don't put the file extension nor the sel/nosel/new suffix.
The images must be uploaded in the images/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels folder.

You would use and put in that blank field space : staffchannel


thanks and hope it help the others too... :p:up:



thanks and best regards...

;)

how much load does this cause on the server compared to lets say vbshout 2.0?

Where do you want it located?

You can have it linked off a forum link, drop down menu or on the NAVBAR itself.

yeah i changed it to 1 as i want it to run every day and set MGC Chatbox Evo Digest to 23 so it runs every 23 hrs

and my chatbox is still freezing on some of my users :S

thanks I managed to make the white color of the chat, but nothing I did not touch the style of the forum, but in any case thanks!!
see on picture new is ok and all work fine thanks amigos!!

[QUOTE=VBDev;1853329]Search in this thread this has already been stated.

Please VBdev this is a great chatbox and i would love it on my vbadvanced pages

Please
please

The load is not noticable unless you have it displaying on every category, forum, page, etc. Then it can become apparent on ANY box. Personally, from the 200+ installs I've done for people, everyone said it's the fastest and most used (MGC).

To get channel icons to show up, open up the zip file. You will see a Channel_icons in the zip right when you open it. Take all 6 images inside Channel_icons and drag/drop them into Images\misc\mgc_cb_evo\channels in the zip (this way before you send it's there), or after you upload the files, copy the channel icons to Images\misc\mgc_cb_evo\channels of each style/skin you have. Then make sure you created channels in the MGC Admin area and they will show.


Between the chat and VBA for MGC, I've gotten them to work on almost any forum. Chat not working on VbA is typical if the forums are outside root..... Like if you have www.site.com as vba, and forums are forums.site.com that will need a recoding done for VbA to work.

PM me ur site info, ftp etc, and a Yahoo/AIM s/n and I can walk you through what I'm doing and teach you too... Just make sure you take a database backup prior. It's always a good habit to get into.

I installed the chatbox on my forum www.desimeet.com and I am coming across few problems, the chatbox is loading very slow for few users, the shouts are getting displayed after 1 minute for few users, and few others complain that they are not able to see the chatbox, just blank.

This is happening for every 2-3 page refreshes.
Even though few users are loving the chatbox and its functionality.

Could you please help me with this?

Well, for one thing, you have so many plugins installed, so saying the chat is the issue, is hard to agree with. Just from the ping and searching, your forums are slow to begin with, without the chat. Sounds to me like you are running an old version of the chat, or never uninstalled an old version correctly when you did an upgrade. More info is needed.

I installed a fresh copy of 2.3.2 version.
The problem is not with everyone, few members only

From what I have noticed the slow or stuck chat is caused by an individuals bandwidth. What I mean is this the refresh of chat will not occur if the person is doing downloading of any kind and sometimes if they are uploading. It seems the chatbox times itself out and never truly populates if it reaches a certain ammount of time. Anyone not using a lot of their bandwidth doing other things never experiences the chatbox not refreshing or getting stuck.

Side Note : If you get the chatbox coming up but blank its usually because an ascii character was inserted on someones chat msg, most commonly with PS3 users. Just go into archive and delete that bad chat or edit and remove the bad character which will be obvious when you look in the archive.

Hope This Helps Some of You!

VBDev :
We are ready for your new release / update. You have addressed and fixed many things already. Save the rest for the next release. I'm betting the better functionality and speed improvement is wanted by all who have installed the chatbox.

WooHoo!
