Thank you VBDev for your jop and Thanks to Sofia for helping you :)

Okay, I choose to have it show the time and not the date and neither is showing. What possibly could I have done wrong? Uploaded all the files, reloaded the xml's. Set the settings in the admincp.

edit: set it to show the date and time and only the date is showing.

Can the chat text input box be set at the bottom of the table instead of the top ?
That would look more similar to way chat works in most chat clients.

I have verified and it should be working !

Did you previously made modifications to the mgc_chatbox_bit template ?

If so you must revert it !

Check the options, this is implemented ;)

I might have overlooked it, but this shows the users in the chat now right? Sorry, I have my 7 month old sitting with me, and trying to read this is next to impossible atm.

Yes that's right, it show active users actually online in the chatbox :)

Thanks!

Great work Dev!

That was it. I had changed the class from thead to tcat to match my site. Reverted and fixed it!

Thanks!!

Very nice - but WOL only ever says "you are the only user", when I simulate a high speed chat between 2 users...

working great.

can we make bbcode and smilies to show by default and not by clicking them ?

Correction to above - WOL works on the full page chatbox, but not using the chatbox inserted in another page (like forumhome).

First install, uploaded all files, modified templates but nothing shows....

It's a customized style. I did the plugin modification too but it didn't even show on default style.

set the user group permissions for Chat in ACP.

Mmmm... I have my "What's Going On" box at the top of my Forumhome.
I was able to position the ChatBox below it in version 1.2
In 1.3, it seems to have reverted to just below the navbar?
What am I forgetting?

Great update!

Got it. thanks.

i have the Cybertec - Advanced Foum Stat and I like to put the chat under the Advanced stat....

Anyone know what to change ?

go in the installtion file and go to the Display the Chatbox on some styles section

do the changes and put $chatbox_forumhome under the stat code

yeah nice one!
works great ;)

but i have one wish....
is it possible to add a soudn notification for new posts in the MGC chatbox?
a little click/beep would be nice!

I am still experiencing this issue. I have the oldest at the top and the text bar at the bottom.


Edit: I changed the "hide refreshing display" to "yes" and it appears to be working.

Great work vbdev. Everything fine.
Just couple of small suggestions, to have alt text of channel and wol icons in english like "canal team" to "team channel", but I'll change that in xml before installing. I only tried it on test board.
Any maybe to have 0 posts requirement by default in usergroup permissions or something smaller, people are unlikely to leave it at 100 posts. I mean I don't have problem changing that to what I like but it should save some time for everyone to install this in future.

edit: I just noticed something while writing this, same thing as Tulsa mentioned, when set to oldest shouts first, after new shout is made it is not actually seen, untill I scroll down. Hope there is a work around for scroll bar to move automatically.

Whoa, this newest version is pretty buggy.

It lags something awful.

It "jumps" every once in a while. I think this may be because I have new shouts appearing at the bottom.

When I click a smilie it scrolls the entire page down to the very bottom, for some reason.

Animated smilies sometimes freeze.

People aren't showing up in WOL.

Also, when I have the inactivity mode enabled, SOME users only see "Idle" in the chatbox regardless of what they do.

How do I revert back to the older version? Just upload the files and import one of the products again?

i saw some soultion for this :p search for it in the 39 pages

I changed auto refresh and hide refreshing display options and eventually returned them to original values I had this problem with(both to yes) and it is working fine now.

I put it on top of $footer, where should i put it ?

<font color="Red">thnx

*v 1.3 Installed and working like a champ</font>

just upgraded from 1.2 and there are a couple of questions that if answerd would make this the best chat box ever for my users.

First I dont see where you can see what users are online in the chat with you. Is this the "WOL" channel (sorry dont know what "WOL" means maybe "whos online"?) WOL chan doesnt seem to do anything right now in any mode for me including full chat mode.

Second; if i am in the regular channel and someone says something in the team channel my icon does not blink... and yes i have turned this option on.

Third; Could you enlighten me on how to change it from saying canal regular / canal team to make it say Regular channel / Team Channel?

Not sure if this has been suggested, but I have another chat box that displays a line whenever someone posts a new thread or post in the forums. I really love that so I can hang out on the index and chat and watch for new posts at the same time. Any possibility of adding this? Thanks, great work!

Finally did it!!
Using an iframe (I know it's not too tidy) got the chatbox working in vBAdvanced :D :D

Good job with the update and the new features ;)
*Updates*

thanks for the upgrade

also like i said on the other msg the longer name u have the further the msg will will become... if u have long name the msg will placed on right side

also can i click on the canal links it moves the page top of it, it seems if click te button refresh, reset, ok or canal it moves the page to the top...

Have you set the permissions for unregistered users ??


What do you mean exactly ? I don't understand.

This is working perfectly on the forumhome of the two forums I follows. Which browser do you use ?

When you say it's not working, could you give me more details of what's not working plz ?

You have to do the process explained in the Readme file for the styles problem and put the $chatbox_forumhome var under the stat var I think.

As I already said before, verifying that new messages are present would need probably to add a query at each chatbox messages retrieving which is something I don't want !

Anyway, maybe there could be a solution so I'll have look, will put that in the todo list.

You're still experiencing it ??? I have tested that many times, it was working perfectly :(

What is your browser ? Are you sure that they were no unmodified chatbox templates ?

For the 0 posts, yes I could have it set to 0, anyway when upgrading if I put 0 in the next version it will not overwrite the existing value. I'll put that in todo list.

For the scrolling, it was supposed to be fixed :(

Before being that aggressive, you could at least say a little thanks ... And it is perfectly working on a number of forums so don't say it's laggy before at least having found with me where the problem lies...

When you means jumps, it means that the browser is jumping where ? At the top of the chatbox ?

If this is the case then it should be normal (before it was jumping to the very top of the page). Which browser do you use ?

When does animated smilies freezes ? (during the refresh ?)

Peoples aren't showing in the whosonline ? Are those people chatting, if you have activated the inactive mode thing and they are inactive, they won't be shown in the whosonline. What's shwoning in the chatbox instead ?

For the idle thing, did they clicked on the refresh button ?

If you want me to find out what's wrong maybe we should investigate a little bit more before you definitely reverse ?

If you still want to reverse, just uninstall it and then install the last version.

You mean that there are no problem of scrolling anymore ?

As there might not be a stats variable in the cyb stats, check out in the plugin code where the author puts the stats. IF this is under the navbar then you should put the var under the $navbar one in the forumhome template.

Height can be modified through acp options :)

For the mgc_chatbox template, try removing the class thing in the tr of that piece of code, and adding your bgcolor thing.

Yes this is the wol channel. When you mean it's not doing anything, what do you exactly see ?

For the team blinking icon, it depends of the time perdio you put for that option in the acp, the check is done on page load and by default every 5 min. So this maybe the reason why you don't see it automatically.

For the last one, edit the alt of the corresponding images in the mgc_chatbox template. I'll make them in phrases for the next version.

My problem with this functionnality is that it adds queries, and I don't see that as a mandatory thing for the chatbox.

So my actual position is no I won't do that. I will see if this is really intersting but I am actually not really convinced :)

lol yes :D this will be cleaner in the addon thing ;)

This is because the username and the chat are not placed in the same column of the table, this was made to clean the display but that's right with long username it is strange too, I'll make a poll for that purpose once things calmed done here :D

Does it moves to the top or to the top of the chatbox ? If this is the top of the chatbox then it's normal, this is the fixed thing for the chatbox being bumped to the very top of the page. (What's your browser anyway ?)

[high]* VBDev is going to hide himself far far away :D[/high]

im using internet explorer 6 and firefox
please is it possible to make the msg comes close to the username! since ihave like 150 000 members so icant just tell everyone to make their names shorter... there some that like their names sopleasee

vbdev is possile can u share some tip how to fix this hugeee space on the shoutbox

2 installs for this to pass my chatbox! *shakes fist*

:D

[high]* Dream shows tongue to VBDev[/high]

thx for the amazing support you give us VBDEV!!!!!
I just ran a test using other computers and some test accounts i have on my forum and.

in the WOL i dont see anything at all when i click on it... its just an empty chatbbox it doesnt show myself or any of my test accounts i am using. also i do not have the time out function activated.

I ran another test with the team chat with one test account and stayed idle for about 10 mins and nothing.. the icon still does not blink.

for some reason those 2 functions are not working, im not sure what i am doing wrong.

Yes I'll provide you a how to for that don't worry :) I'll try during the lunch break or at most this evening ;)

I know it's quite annoying but as it shall not happen as this is a link with a #chatbox in it returning false. So the link shall not be followed :(

I'll try to find a fix but this problem burns my head since long time now :(

lol Gna Gna Gna :D

Have you updated all files on the forum ? Especially the js one in the clientscript folder ?

If you are using ie, does it show you an error at the bottom left of the browser ?

I am experiecing the same issues. I am in the chat with others and we can not see each other in the Chat WOL. Also we do not show up in the VB WOL either when active in the chat.

Other than that the upgrade has some nice new features.

Thanks for the good work.
