I have installed this mod; however no new post notifications are displayed. People can chat, use BBCode, smilies etc, but get no notifications.

Have I missed something obvious in the installation process?

Regards,

Sador 09-28-2009 08:45 PM

There is a sound notification available, if that's what you mean. It's one of the options and turned off by default.

If not notified, as you explain that puts it:

Notification sound when new messages
Sound notification when a new message in a channel

But that does not operate the same to me, the problem is that they see the new responses, and that goes wrong, as I said.

Regards.

Hi everyone. I couldn't wait for the CMPS module update, so I modded the existing one to use the new functions. :D

I've uploaded my version here, in the MGC Chatbox Evo for vBadvanced CMPS thread. Not trying to hijack stangger5's work, just sharing my fixed module until he makes an official release.

If it works, let him know. Maybe it will help him finish his update.

I finally got this installed and setup on my forum (3.8.1) but I've run into two problems.

I've searched the thread for answers but there are a few different answers - all tricky looking for a noob too. Just want to know if there is a consensus yet as to the ultimate fix for the following:

1) The chatbox stays permanently on 'loading' until you hit refresh

2) Having been able to use it without anything other than the above problem I now get the following error:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."

When I say I am a newbie I mean I have zero understanding of code, php etc and very littel to no understanding of server settings and db's etc.

Any dumbed down help would be very much appreciated.

Could you be more specific? Does this happen to just you, or to all users? Does it only happen at the start, of do you need to refresh after every message input?

It could be that you're using an older browser, which doesn't support AJAX. In that case, other users shouldn't have the same problem (considering they use other browsers).

Hey Sador, thanks for the reply!

1) This problem happens to all users, across all browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox).

2) I have a few other Ajax mods on my forum which have never given any trouble plus I always keep my browsers up to date.

Also, the security token problem is showing up for all users on all browser types too. This only appeared today, yesterday was fine when I tested it - it could be something I changed in the Admin CP but I've tried everything I can think of and nothing has fixed it yet...

Also, I havent installed any other mods since.

I get this fatal error on all pages of my forum whether or not it's turned on (disabling the product fixes it):


Code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function show_chatbox() on a non-object in /home/****com/public_html/guidewiki/forums/includes/mgc_cb_evo/plugins.php on line 720
Line 720 of plugins.php seems to be:

Code:

if($MGCCbEvoCore->show_chatbox() && $MGCCbEvoCore->evo_permissions->can_view())
Any idea what could be causing this issue?

Note: Using VBSeo, VBulletin 3.8.4 and MGC Chatbox 2.4.2

MGC Chatbox used to work on my forum, but stopped for some reason. The Mod_Security workaround doesn't seem to fix it either.

If it used to work, what have you done/changed? Have you upgraded a plugin, the forum or the chatbox version? Something you did had an impact on this...

Disable all the plugins, then enable the chat. If it still fails, uninstall the chat (broken record part - backup your shi*) FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS.........

Once you do that, update all the plugins.....meaning manually check if there are any updates, and do so.....

Reinstall the chat................

Report.

I had a problem with even extracting the files from the zip, you had blank files with the same name as the folders in the download which caused it to be nearly impossible to open. To the author; now I've fixed that for myself, do you want a version of the mod download without this problem to attach to this topic instead?

Sorry, but I'll have to say that's user error. Considering I've downloaded it since day 1 and about 200 times from here alone......

cheat-master30 10-02-2009 09:15 AM

I fixed it though. And now another problem, except only in the archive. It says 'Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 136'

Again, you probably had a bad download.....reinstall.

cheat-master30 10-02-2009 12:30 PM

I'm sorry, but it's always a corrupt download, and only for the latest version. Every time, same thing. Open the zip file without extracting it, same thing. Stop always assuming user error, it's the biggest criticism I have of programmers in general, they can't accept they made a mistake in coding something rather than assuming everyone else screwed up.

creppello 10-02-2009 02:02 PM

Cheat Master, what program are you using to unpack it, 7Zip finally worked for me.

jazde86 10-02-2009 03:21 PM

...stupid...

btt please O.o

cheat-master30 10-02-2009 04:19 PM

Extracted with 7zip now, still doesn't help with the errors on the archive page. Some templates that have been edited when I used the last version have been reverted, but that also didn't work.

cheat-master30 10-02-2009 04:30 PM

For that matter...

7zip: Extracts files fine

FileZilla upload then ends up with the error with the archive, and possible non capability with Internet Explorer.

Windows built in file extraction on XP and Vista won't extract the zip file.

Upload direct through Plesk also didn't fix the problem with the archive.

Meh, I'll contact the modification author. It's worked fine in the past, and it's probably something simple.

mp3u 10-02-2009 08:13 PM

Sorry to but in here guys but I'm a newbie, I've installed the chatbox - all good except it's stuck on loading and I get a security token missing error. So do all of my user groups, in all browser types. Any ideas? There are a few potential advanced looking fixes in this thread - i don't want to break anything. Any concrete fixes for these issues?

Lynne 10-02-2009 09:14 PM

A couple of posts have been removed.

I'll ask that people play nice and be respectful of each other, please.

cheat-master30 10-02-2009 10:20 PM

Fixed. I had to uninstall and reinstall the shoutbox. I guess the upgrade aspect kills the latest version.

Apologies Lynne, I just don't like it when people get called stupid.

Apologies to Ranger as well. I wasn't having a good day, which is why I was surfing forums......

For me the mgc_cb_evo_jsloc varible has never worked on any of the versions.

There are multiple occurances of these, so do a find and replace.

You may need to adjust the http:// reference if you have your forum in a subdirectory.
All this edit does is remove the "guess work" of the jsloc varible and force the correct location.
One site I deal with they have set up really goofy, Their forums home page is not their .com page. I had to put files in both the forums directory as well as the publichtml directory, th3en upload the xml files.

That fix above cleared up all my problems though.

TeknoSounds 10-03-2009 08:30 AM

Worked like a dream creppello!!! Thank you so much :D

I had the same deal where my forum doesn't reside in the root folder, so had to upload the clientscript folder to the root and everything worked on my vBA CMPS at that point.

There is an English patch. Upload with the language manager, refresh, and it changes to English.

creppello 10-03-2009 02:49 PM

This thing is very nice, excellent job on it. One question, is there a way to UN-ban someone from the chat? Or does one have to go into the database and change a marker?

SuperDave71 10-03-2009 03:19 PM

Good morning,

Could someone please help me. I believe I have my "special helmet" on too tight.

I have added the proper permissions to the bot feature in user groups and activated the plugin.

I added the questions and answers yet I see nothing.

Could someone be kind enough to do a play by play so I can test this?

Everything else seems to be working just fine.

Again here are the steps I followed.:

1. Activate the bot in the chatbox ? Set to yes.

2. NEW Bot's userid: Gave that merf a name

3. Bot chats format: <i>{1}</i> <----The Default setting

4. Under manage the bot: I added questions and answers.

5. Under User Groups: I added the Admin setting of "Can talk to bot" to yes.

What am I missing?

Added: I Also am having issues with the avatars showing up on in the chatbox. Ay ideas yet?

Thank you so much in advance!

creppello 10-03-2009 03:41 PM

Not sure, I used your settings and it worked for me......

/ban off uid userid : Unban the user specified by the userid passed as command parameter.
or
/ban off uname userid : Unban the user specified by the username passed as command parameter.
if you're not sure who is currently banned use:
/ban show : Open a popup window containing the list of users banned from the chatbox with the possibility of unban users simply through buttons in this window.

These and more are all listed in the built in help for the chatbox (click the question mark in the lower right corner of box)

This.

If your main language is Italian and you want the English patch, use language manager to overwrite your Italian language with the patch. (it sh?uldn't have any effect on anything other than this mod, but I haven't tested it, so it's at your own risk)

If you want an Italian translation for this mod, I think you'll have to make one yourself.

Hope this helps.

itswiz 10-04-2009 04:06 PM

One of my member's can't view chat.... This is what in chat box..."your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing." Any idea how to resolve issue, so member can view chat... Also member can type a chat and submit it but doesn't see it. Note everyone else can view it.

AdamFL 10-04-2009 04:11 PM

I installed the Chat and everything seems good except the chatbox keep loading forever. any idea how to fix this?

Thanks

gsmumbo 10-04-2009 10:53 PM

I installed the chatbox, it worked fine but all of a sudden, the notifications(which are merged with the chats) are showing up above the chats, essentially acting like they are stickied. It is leaving very little room for the actual shouts. Anybody know why this would happen and how to get them back to normal(being treated like a regular chat, when a new chat is made the notification gets pushed down and the new chat is displayed on top of it)

Thanks for this, how to I change the .js file though? I can't seem to open it - do I need to download a program to create/tweak .js files? Dumb question I know... please help!

SuperDave71 10-05-2009 11:23 PM

mp3u,

Use a text editor like wordpad or notepad.

Open wordpad for example and drag the .js file on top of it. You should see the text contained in the .js file.

Hope this helps!

I did the edits mentioned before but it's still loading... I guess this is not for me.
Thank you anyway.

I have tried installs on this a few times and finally gave up and went to ChatBox integration which works excellent...
