when you use actions near chats : "Remove all chats of" and "Remove the chat of", a window appear with the same phrase/sentence for both actions : "The chats were succesfully removed".
Now it would be :
Action : Remove all chats of ---> Response : The chats were succesfully removed
Action : Remove the chat of ---> Response : Chat was succesfully removed

That's normal, the same phrase is returned for every shouts deletion wether you delete one or more.

This is why I'll add an option to retrieve smilies by their order in the smilies manager of the acp.

Also, how can I delete guest posts? There is no drop down arrow beside their messages? I can remove them in the Archives section, but not on the main chatbox?
Cheers
LTC

Ok I'll :)

That's normal, since the menu is not accurate when dealing with guests. And this is why I added the deletion tool in the archives :)

You mean you can't change permissions of commands ?

Your sentence is not that clear sorry I can't seem to understand you.

I have everything set the same for the "Display and position on forum" variables.

Was something changed that would have caused this to disappear?

No I haven't changed anything that would cause it to not appear in the arcade.

The instructions you followed where the one in the readme file ? You haven't recently updated the arcade ?

Correct. I can not change them for the PM and TEAM channels either. All permissions appear to have been set properly within usergroups.

Playa82 02-22-2008 10:33 AM

My members have to write the messages twice, i hope that will be fixed in the next update.

good work tho

PimvanJ 02-22-2008 01:48 PM

This hack has absolutely potential.
My users can hardly wait until its Finnish.

Found some minor bug, Not able to edit the shout wen its gone. (appears only in Opera browser)

Great job!

haytham 02-22-2008 02:05 PM

I thought it was nice but when I tried to install it and found all those steps of doing things then redoing them I think I won't install. Why couldn't it be simpler like all other mods? Too bad!

This is a great mod and well worth the effort!!! It's the most popular thing on our forum. The developer spends MANY hours answering these questions and working on it, with little thanks in return!

Have some appreciation for the amount of work that goes into developing these things, and also providing them for all of us for FREE.

haytham 02-22-2008 04:25 PM

Hey don't get me wrong. I, in no way, said it was bad. I said it was nice and I still think it's great but you have to agree that there are so many steps to installing it and I don't want to do anything that would put my forums at risk. I am kind of a layman when it comes to coding so I decided to keep away. I would really love for it to become simpler to install because from what I can see, it is the best with all its features.
I have never been a rude person to say that some mod is bad even if it was cause I know and appreciate the coders' time and efforts. So, please execuse my remark as it wasn't intended to offend anyone. When I said too bad, I meant for me cause I wanted so bad to install it.

Soljah 02-22-2008 04:48 PM

I just installed everything, but it appears in my admincp that the plugin shows up in anotehr language. How can I fix this?

RvG2 02-22-2008 04:49 PM

install the language xmls

ariellio 02-22-2008 06:05 PM

I really like the chatbox & my users are enjoying it at my forums. I am pretty good with tech stuff, but I also had a lot of problems when installing this mod. I think the main issue is the way the folders are set up. I missed a lot of different files when I was uploading. Everything that is going in the Images/Misc folder should be in one folder, KWIM? It was a bit of a headache trying to figure out what I missed, but once it's up, it's up. I definitely do NOT recommend installing this hack if someone isn't really experienced with computer stuff.

I also have the problem when people's first post isn't showing up. Inactive mode is turned off, so I know that isn't causing the problem.

To edit channel usergroup permissions, you have to go in the command manager and set the permissions (there is an item for that in the menu).

The problem with the multiple steps is the command installation for you ? I have done it so users install only what they want to install as command.

The only part that I want to modify in order to make the install simpler is the upgrade process between each new version.

For the moment, you have to install back all commands xml after an install due to a specific behavior of vBulletin (normal one).

To avoid that problem, I'll make two products: the chatbox itself and the chatbox command products.

This will avoid command phrases and settings to be erased upon new version install :) Thus diminishing the process of upgrade.

About install, honestly if you read carefully the install instructions it's really really no problem IMO. I have made my possible to make it as clear as possible !

The only thing I could do more is to make the install procedure as a manual with images so that users who don't like reading readme (they are intended to be read though ...) could get it to work.

What you must understand is that we, coders, can't make all the job ;)

One of the job of a good forum admin is to read carefully install instructions before installing a mod. Like you would logically do with anything else you would be installing or buying for your computer.

Yes, I followed all the instructions - I've gone through them several times just to make sure. I haven't done anything to the Arcade recently except reset the scores and add a couple of new games. Would you be able to have a look at it somehow?

I have just tested it and it worked perfectly.

During your last upgrade, did you uploaded the file in the admincp directory correctly ?

It's in the case you have vBSeo installed, it rewrites chatbox archive pages in the vBSeo manner :)

There is an option in vBSeo where you can use that.

Yes, I uploaded the files multiple times. However, I just installed the latest revised version and it now works. The settings can now be changed within the appropriate command permissions and the /pm and /team commands appear to be functioning. I am still unable change the permissions within the channels themselves, though this still does not seem to impact functionality.

Hello vBDev,

sometimes I can't write anything into the chatbox.
I do enter the shout and press "enter" or click at "ok", but the shout does not appear.
Then, 10 attempts later it works. :o

What can that be?

Have a nice weekend.

P.S. There are a few other persons that have the same problem in my forum. :o
I use Firefox 2.0.0.12 ...

captainslater 02-23-2008 12:56 PM

This issue is known and VBDev will try to find a solution for this.

(You do, do you? :D)

pericolosogr 02-23-2008 04:43 PM

1) I still have a prob with the text coloring, same as my background!
Where exactly do i change it? Cant i just edit some lines somewhere in a file that defines the text coloring! Its really tiring to set a color each time you want to type somethin!

2) Ι just updated and i have the same problem, it fails to post a chat but it gets it with the second try!

3) I have the same old problem with my language, my forums language is in UTF8, both english and greek! Everytime i try to install you language xml file, it messes up everything! Back in 3.6 it ruined some tables and i had the guys from vbulletin.com support to run some queries and fix it!

Now after uploading the file, it doesnt matter which language i choose, english or greek, everything shows up in greek! I Deleted the english language, reinstalled it, still the same, its always greek! I uploaded tools and i've put through the command the default english language, its still the same, in greek!

Phiouuuuu...wish things with this mod were more simple...
I miss the chatbox in 3.6:(

pericolosogr 02-23-2008 04:52 PM

Ok Number One Solved!
So that everybody knows and doesnt have to search all around, the options for the text coloring is under usergroups...

but still,now there are more important problems to face...

Coz you can in a channel itself.

Channels are linked to commands so command permissions resides in commands :)

So all your problem are fixed except the one for chatbox in vba ?

3/
Your english language is utf8 on your forum ?? Then it's normal that uploading the english language file is messing things up.
English language is normally ISO-8859-1 which is what is set in vB by default for its language.

What have you done on your forum to make languages behave like that ? Coz you only tell things but not what leads to the problems.

Correct! I love this mod, but I also have a great desire to get it working as a page variable in vBadvanced. The center column restriction is not working well with my styles. It also appears to load much slower as a module.

Incidentally, I tried the page variable method with ibProArcade and it works perfectly. When making the necessary edits, I noticed the globalized variables required. On a hunch, I added these variables to ACP-->vBa CMPS-->Default Settings-->Portal Output Global Variables, but unfortunately it still freezes. Are there any other variables that need to be added? I am probably on the wrong track, but I am trying at least.

Yes Yes you have been clear but what I was telling is that if you upload english language which is not utf-8 type (but ISO-8859-1) you are sure to get into such problems.

English language and greek are not compatible together. To upload an english xml file to a greek language you would have to change the xml language type (line near top of the file).

I fear you may have misunderstood me here. I said "Incidentally, I tried the page variable method with ibProArcade and it works perfectly." I was stating this in hope that it may aid in the work to fix vBa page variable integration. The remainder of my post was detailing my unsuccessful effort to globalize variables in a manner similar to the method used by the ibProArcade integration.

So if i just change the encoding line on top of this xml doc, i get what i want? Lets say i type utf-8 (than ISO-8859-1) and it just works without messing up?
