I use one called Free Javascrpit Editor, and it works very well, as it colors different lines of code that do different things.

Yep thanks :)
i will do so

Maybe iam doing something wrong :) but iam getting all french under Admin CP even though i installed the English Language patch...

Anyone please........... Pretty please.

You need to refresh after. Or log out and log in again if that doesn't work.

Done that.. still getting all french

In that case you didn't overwrite your language with the English patch I think. Go to language manager, browse to the patch, set 'overwrite language' to the language you're using on your forum, and set 'ignore language version' to yes.

That should do the trick.

I'm not sure if my situation has to do with some of you guys... but here is my experience on upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.4.2.

First off- I want to point out that I have been running this mod since the original versions came out, so I know my way around it pretty well. After doing the 2.2.1 to 2.4.2 upgrade I noticed some pretty major differences in my server load (as I've previously posted about) and my chats really took a LONG time to pop up. For a lot of people, they'd have to refresh, wait that period of up to 11 seconds for the chatbox to populate to see new chats, submit theirs, and refresh again to see new ones. A kind programmer kinda worked with me through some of the stuff to see if he could find any reason this was happening in VBDev's absence and mainly we worked on lessening the load of my settings... Changing refresh times, removing avatars, deleting the second hidden channel that only a few people use, disabling view of the chatbox for unregistered users etc. Initially that seemed to help, but over time it really didn't. I tried going back a version to 2.3.2 which was still a step above what I had, but I didn't know if I could go back to 2.2.1 because of the script I had to run... Well, that didn't help either.

Finally I gave up and figured I'd just delete the whole thing, all files, make sure there were no more tables in the database (had to manually drop 2) and do a fresh install. So I warned the users to take note of their font choices, and anything in archive they may need... and deleted it a few days later. I figured since I had it uninstalled I might as well get the paid version, so I did.
I ended up fresh installing the newest version 2.4.2 and boy let me tell you! It responds super fast, and the load on my server is dramatically decreased (not sure if that is the new version, the fact that it is fresh installed, or just using the settings the other coder suggested) but I just wanted to put it out there as a possible solution for any of you that have been going along doing the upgrades... There just may be something that ends up hanging around and causing some problems or of course it could have been just me :)

For visual aid I will attach 2 screen shots of my server's CPU usage one is a week view and one is a month view I have marked the graph to show what I did where, and the effect it had specifically on CPU use.

1) upgraded 2.2.1 to 2.4.2
2) programmer helped me change settings to lessen load
6) downgraded to 2.3.2
3) deleted old files, installed new version.. lost internet during settings set up
4) finished setting up shoubox settings, preformed database maintenance (had to run repair/optimize data base a LOT!)
5) rebooted server to get the ram size down from all the work I had been doing on the server the past month

So as you can see, the load is much lower now, and take my word for it-- this thing runs great! So if you're having a similar problem, you may just want to bite the bullet and remove it and do a fresh install you may have the same experience I have. I think we all know sometimes it's best to just delete something and start over.

Good luck and I love this shoutbox :D

I did that before...tried it again refreshed logged out etc etc..but no luck

I made the changes to the 2 .js files in client scripts but it made no difference, I still have exactly the same problem. Permanently reloading until I hit refresh and security token missing if I try to make a post...

Same here. I was previously running 2.1.0 just fine.

I unistall it and now i'm running into more serious problem. I cannot edit any usergroup since ine the usergroup manager > the MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions are still there andi cannot do any edit.
I will appreciate any help resolving this issue and removing the MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions from the usergroups manager.
Never Mind guys I deleted all the files and it's ok now.
Thanks

Way to many errors after upgrading.

Disabled until issues are resolved.

How To Change The Lang. From French To Eng

Do note that if you have multiple languages on your forum, you might have to do this to every language to make it work.

thanks for the update but theres still some frenchlanguage when example Supprimer le chat when i right click the profileon eachchats asnd on admin control panel Gestion du bot
yes i did upload the english file included and yes i ignored and overwrote

btw seems the avatar is gone on sb :S

There are a view lines in French that will remain no matter how often you try to use the patch. For example, the /slap code will still be in French after installing the English patch.

Those few lines can be changed through the chatbox options in your admin CP though, just check all chat options one by one and changes them into whatever you want.

on admincp edit channel almost everthing there is french too...
did that and it still doesnt work

Have you overwritten every language on your board with the English patch? (so, if you have an English language and a German one, for example, you need to both overwrite the English language with the patch like I explained, and after that, you need to do the same thing to the German language)

I'm willing to try it for you, if you'd like.

board is english and yes i made sure to overwrite and ignore the version
but the main concern is the avatars not appearingon sb... i tried to set the right path on class_formatting but doesnt do much

Hi,

I've been using this for a little while now and actually, what I want from it is to turn off the chat functionality and just use it as a tool to notify people of new posts / replies.

I know you can turn off the notifications and just have it as a chat box, but is it possible to set it up the other way around?

Cheers!

Off the top of my head, I would say remove each usergroups permission to use the chatbox (but leave permissions to view it) and have notifications melted with chats. That should show the notifications in the chatbox without anyone chatting there.

I can't remember what I changed, if anything at all.

Yeah, all of them have been upgraded (it hasn't worked for a while - months, at least). I don't know what that something is, though. I've looked through everything I can find ;(

I've tried disabling plugins then using the chat, it doesn't change my results.

I've reinstalled the chat more times than I can count, always with the same errors.


I have a thread on the forum regarding this error: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1896823

Thanks,

Thank you so much for coming back to me - I'll give this a go.

Only one language Sador and i still have french...i have followed all your instructions to the letter but seems i cant get it in English

EDIT - Seems to have got the English now for some reason :)..but am now getting Array errors

I really have no clue then. I've tried this a couple of times on my testboard and my regular board. At my testboard (with one language only) I only had to log out of the forum, log in again, and login to the admin panel.

At my regular board (2 languages) when I used overwrite on English only and did the logout thing, I noticed that some things in the Admin CP were English and some were still French. After doing the same to my other language everything was English like it was supposed to.

The only other thing I could think of is that your browser stores the language in your cache. You could try to logout of the admin CP, delete all cookies and cache, and login again, but I don't really know if that even helps.

Admin panel as well as some moderation options on the shoutbox seem to be in French (even after updating the language with English).

Re-importing the product seemed to fix it.

Can FULL uninstall instructions be provided for those it does not work for?

No problem sador..illl continue to worry over it :) thanks for the support and its a great product from the looks of it :)

Just installed the chatbox

silver.fox1969

Please would any one be able to tell me how i can resize the chat box???thanks

Did you look under MGC Chatbox Evo > general options in the admin control panel? Options for width and height are there near the top.

Andrew

Cheers andrew will check it now.

Yes this worked just as i wanted but only changes the size on my original theme if a user selects another theme the chat box is way too wide!
any ideas please?

So for "Width of the chatbox when integrated to a page of the forum" are you using a px size? Try using a %... So it will be a % of each theme regardless of what the width you have it set to is... So try 100% if that's still wider than you like try something like 90% and just keep playing with that till it fits your desire.
Andrew

Thanks that has solved the problems we had now!!!!!

Uninstalled - can't get it to work at all, tried the fixes suggested in this thread but the chatbox stays permanently reloading until I manually hit refresh, then when I try to make a post I get a 'missing security token' message. Would love to get this to work, will reinstall next time their is an update.

mp3u - [vB3.6.x-3.7.x-3.8.x]MGC_Chatbox_evo_2.3.2.zip use this version
latest version have alot of bugs !

What would be helpful for those having "Loading..." and security token issues is to let us all know if you're using vBAdvanced CMPS, and if so, is it installed to the same directory as vBulletin, and what version of both (vBa and vB) you're using.

Most problems seem to creep up when using vBAdvanced CMPS when it's installed in a different directory than vBulletin.
