Any ideas how that affects the CPU usage of a VPS?

Anyone else have the archives function on left ???

Also, I cannot get this to work with firefox. Any idea how to fix that?

What do you mean with archives on the left? At my current setup, above the chat there is a link to the archives, and the archives itself is a full page. Don't really know what you mean.

Firefox works fine on my computer, does the chat work for you with other browsers? If not, is your FireFox updated to the lastest version?

It works in other browsers just fine. Seems like firefox is the culprit for windows only. 1 member has it working good on firefox on a mac.

See attached image of what I mean by archives and how the chat dosent appear.

I didnt upgrade to 2.4.2. I did a fresh install

Like I said.....You had to import the lang file and refesh. Your browser settings are set to refresh once per login. So I was right. Like always. ;)

Error console, paste the errors when you view with FF. ;)

Thanks... I'll try that and post my findings later on.

Ranger187...

First of all...thx so much for the help...you da man!

I uninstalled 2.4.2 and am now using 2.4.1. Again, I'm on a vb 3.8.4 board and the 2.4.1 install went without a hitch. Thanks for making the recommendation.

I only have one issue that needs to be addressed, though. It seems the tabs are not working on 2.4.1, like they were on 2.4.2. I have posted at forum coding for help, and will post here, as well.

The attached images chatbox1.jpg is what I see after adding a new channel. I do not see the tabs like I did with 2.4.2, in the attached image chatbox2.jpg.

Are these tabs specific to that version of this mod, or should they also appear in the 2.4.1 version? If so...can you guide me as to what I need to do in order to get these tabs to appear?

Again...thanks, so much, for your help.

Yes sir, I'm almost certain the tabs are new to 2.4.2 but if you read the changelog or what's new file, it should say exactly when it was added.

Thanks...

Well...I definitely hope the developer fixes the issues with 2.4.2, soon...so I can get those tabs back.

One thing I would like to see that I don't/can't find is a jump to message function in the archives. If this is already a feature can someone point me to it?

Else: This would be helpful to jump to an entire transcript of the complete back and forth between members to sort out any conflicts. We can find posts fine but we don't see the other sides of stories or the full conversation. Right now I can't do this and could edit the archive chat, or remove it. thats about it. I dunno maybe its not obvious to me where it is.

Don't know if it's helpful, but you might have more success if you download the logs from the archive page? That way it should be more organized, I think. Haven't tested it myself, so I might be totally wrong.

Private messages don't seem to be logged at all, which is great from privacy perspective, but can make it quite hard to do anything about people that abuse the private chat for things they really shouldn't. Like what Dustin said, you can't check what happened and who exactly did what.

Oh and at the rest: I have vBulletin 3.8.4. and version 2.4.2 of this chatscript, and it all works fine. I have had no problems whatsoever up till now, both with installing and using it. (besides the private chat tab, that is) I have no idea why it doesn't work at your sites, but at least it shows it can work as well. :)

Quick question, maybe someone had this happen and knows how to fixes it.. Once I upgrade chat, certain members have told me chat doesn't work now. It shows uploading for some while others have no problem. Yes they refresh.

With these kind of things there are about 4 common options.

- The chat has errors (not likely, because you said some users can use the chat just fine)
- Some kind of permission problem. (not likely here, see previous)
- A problem with that users settings, browser etc. Maybe his current browser can't handle AJAX, for example, or has some other issues.
- A problem with that users internet. The chat seems to take some time to load even at fast connections, I can imagine it failing to load entirely if the internet connection just is too slow. No idea if it does, but it could be.

The easiest way to check is ask for someones password, so you can login and see if it works for you. If it is, there must be some kind of problem with that users computer / internet.

Hope this helps you a bit.

Yes. It's called search. ;)

Ranger, since yer the man with all the infoz... :)

Trying to get this on my vBA, not using the module tho. It shows up and all, but I can't get it to get off Loading... and the OK button doesn't go to the right location. My vB is in a seperate folder from the site route. Running vb 3.8.2 and mgc 2.4.2

So I'm trying to find the locations in files where its pointing to just /mgc_cb_evo.php but I'm not having much luck. Have scoured the posts but nothing I change seems to have any effect.

Thanks will check into it.:D

Well...I think I may have run into a bug and am requesting a fix, please...

After upgrading from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2...I get the following error when the bot replies to a query: See attached image

Looks like there may be a coding error...or something went wrong with the upgrade.

Is there a fix for this?

Found out if I disable the NEW "@username" icon, I don't have the above issue.

So...any suggestions?

OK Ranger. I found a lot of errors.... See attached image

How do I go about fixing it?

No, it's not called search because with search it ONLY shows shouts/chats with the specified keywords and nothing else. meaning you can have a chat above it with the same keyword from a few hours ahead and the same below.

Not what I am looking for. I was sure I made this clear in my post.

As for downloading the archives, I am aware of this but find it inconvenient to download the entire archives and scan the bloody thing vs simply jumping to a position in the archive to see a log of an entire conversation.

Get what I mean?

This works wonderfully in Cyb's chatbox, I was hoping for a similar function here.

You don't happen to have any warnings about templates needed reverted do you? ;)

why doesnt the new avatars reflect on the chat panel? as in when the user uploads a new avatar?

<i>Edit: Newbie question resolved - sorted out the settings.</i>

I cannot see the avatars (see the image below) I thinks the path is wrong, for example:
The avatar path for this user: http://www.gstrail.es/foro/avatars/vintage-%user-id%.gif?dateline=1242495174

I have the avatar path in http://www.gstrail.es/foro/images/avatars/

Where I can change it?

Thanks

i cant get an answer on the main forum for this so i will ask here see the time in the chatbox does it pull it from the server or does it use the time zone you set the forum on cos my time is 2hrs faster than any other time that's on the forum :S

Same for me Spika, i dont know how change it :\

Hi !

I didn't manage to get the bot working.

I've set some questions such as "What's up ?" and an answer. But it does not work.
I even done some copy/paste from the "Add a bot phrase"/"question" to be sure it's the perfect syntax but it failed.

What am I missing (Yes, the option is activated)?

I was just wondering if there is some way we can script in a new command?

I run a roleplaying website and it would be a GREAT feature if we could put in a /roll or /rps command that randomly inserts a number or rock/paper/scissors when someone types the command.

Thanks for your help.

Admin CP - usergroups - usergroups manager - edit Administrators - MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions

Have you set 'can talk to the bot' to yes?

[vB3.6.x-3.7.x-3.8.x]MGC_Chatbox_evo_2.4.2\Files\includes\mgc_cb_evo\cl ass_formatting.php

Its at the end of the file. I changed mine, but it still didn't fix it.

I have searched a bit and I still cannot find the answer: How do I change the background color of the chatbox in a specific style? Also, is 5 seconds too high of a number for auto-refresh speed?

No warnings that I can see

Thanks it works ! I did not see this new option. Thanks man, again.

An other problem I've got is that I'm using vBa CMPS. When I activate the module to have the chatbox on the vBa CMPS index it gave me this error :
Call to undefined function can_view_mgc_cb_evo() in /usr/home/*****/public_html/modules/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 3

The new version doesn't work with the old vbcmps module. Go back to 2.3.2 or whatever.

yea........ it does not reflect the new avatar? can someone help with this problem?

the displey avatar immages on chat work for default avatar but dont for custom.

I reverted my template and it did not do a thing. Any other idea what could possibly be the problem?

I get this error

This is a translation, sorry if you do not understand something.

Hi, everyone, do not know if this problem has already emerged in this thread, but with 5640 messages, it is an outrage, here's what I get updated to version 2.4.2.
In a laptop, I get this line of code:
Warning: in_array () [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path] / includes / mgc_cb_evo / class_misc.php on line 355
This comes on top of the forum.
In the other computer that does not leave, both of firefox.

I activated the audible beeps, but you can deactivate the alarm sound upgrade?, Very upset.

When I create a new topic is perfect, but when you reply to a message created get this error:
Responded to the issue: [ARG: 4 UNDEFINED]

Do not leave the buttons off the notifications, and sounds.

You have some tutorial in order to optimize this hack?

Thank you very much for this, hack, for me is perfect.

I admire your courage for us to have forums, best day.

A greeting.
