Thanks, I guess... Nothing at all for us on which to do any planning, eh?

Not: "Within six months" or "It'll be at least a year" or nothing to help us who've committed to this software and are trying to complete our business plan for 2010? :erm:

It comes when it comes. ;)

Thanks for the clarification! :p:D

Hi Ranger!
How do I limit the number of symbols in each chat?

Hi,

I just looked for you and it seems that this option is not available.

;)

Donation system has been upgraded to VB4. Soon as the SS service is, the chat will be converted.

Any comments, Ranger?

If you mean the amount of characters one can type, look 2 posts prior. This was already answered.

in the admincp -> vb options -> General Settings -> Disable Ajax

i'm feeling wordy tonight ; you don't need to read the rest to test disabling some ajax functions.

various features are written using ajax code and js libraries. it allows portions of the page to be updated with data from tables in the database asynchronously (a synchronous database access happens in sync with the refresh of the entire page: as each line of code in the page is interpreted and acted on, database access occurs as the specific line in the code makes the request. asynchronous access occurs without requiring a refresh of the entire page and just for that particular item you are working on at that moment) or out of the normal execution sequence of the code and database access in that page.

An example of an ajax function is when you search for all posts by a board user. you type the beginning of the user name and a drop down window appears with all the entries in the user table that match the characters you've entered to that point. the process makes an asynchronous query to the user table in the database for all the entries where name is like the letters you've entered, without requiring that all the lines in that page before it be interpreted and acted upon first.

various functions are written in ajax to make the overall operation of the board smoother and to require less full page refreshes. the display of the smilies (when you click "More") in the text entry section of the chatbox is an ajax function. when you disable ajax you disable these features and the additional database queries they make.

many users simultaneously accessing ajax features will generate a lot of additional queries, thus loading up the database activity. if your board is the only one accessing the database you probably won't notice the effects of the additional activity. if you share a database instance on an service provider's database server and the system is normally busy the additional activity can impact the database performance and lag your board.

i believe that ajax seems to encourage developers writing code independently and without sufficient concern for the general state of the system. prior to ajax, developers really didn't have to be concerned with concurrent processes because in interpreted procedural code (like php v4) there really isn't concurrent processing. things happen in sequence as dictated by the program organization. in object coding, and especially in ajax processes happen asynchronously but developers often do not check to see what else is going on before they issue their requests. they just assume the system will deal with it, and in the perfect world the OS is supposed to just deal with it, but the world isn't perfect and the hardware always lags behind the OS and programming demands (something that i encounter at work as well: developers are rarely DBAs therefore rarely understand either how the database actually services their code requests or the impact of their code on the database performance).

for example, if i run the Live Topic mod and one or two other ajax coded mods my external, hosted board lags. remove or disable Live Topics and the lag vanishes. too many concurrent database access calls force a sacrifice of performance. things happen slower than we would like. re-writing the code more efficiently is one way to address this except developers are usually busy and under time constraints. another way is to throw hardware at it, except board owners are usually working on shoestring budgets. disabling the problematic code, in this case the ajax functions, is another way and it has no additional costs or resource scheduling issues, but you lose functionality.

you have to pay for it someplace, so you make a choice.

Will there be a port to VB4?

Thanks!

That has been answered about 20 times by me. ;)

Now is the time to chime in for this.....

I got a question....... my Thread Title overlaps with MGC chatbox...... how do I fix it?

http://www.whysg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31177

Great work, thanks a lot !
Joan

Add a <br/> after the thread title.

Or above the ajax chatbox. Should be somewhere in your templates. Search for MGC_EVO

I'd love the ability to make use of the Favorite Smilie hack to replace the default smilies. I actually use that hack combined with the Smilie Categories hack to organize all our smilies cleanly.

It would be awesome to be able to enable new thread/new registration/thank you hack notifications in the FULL size chatbox you access via a link, but not the one that shows up automatically in your templates specified in options.

AKA... an option to show notifications everywhere (both), only in the small/regular shoutbox, or only in the full chatbox.


IE... If you're on the full page shoutbox, you're not refreshing to check for new threads posted... so notifications might be nice. But if you're on the forum home page checking periodically for new threads, the notifications just get in the way of chatting.


Per-User enabling/disabling of Notifications might be nice as well... possibly even as far as letting users have the choice of the suggestion above.


Can't wait for this to release! :D

Hi,

I am interested in integrating this chat into my forum but can't seem to find a current demo. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also, will it be compatiable with the new VB 4.x ?

Thanks :)

Storm

Prior to upgrading to v4, I removed all hacks and customizations. One of those was the MGC Chatbox Evo hack. Apparently this didn't remove it from the database. Now when I go to a user group profile, the options for this hack still exist. See screen shot.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/03/80.jpg

I wanted to make a change to a user group setting and after making my change, I clicked save. When doing this I got the following error.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/03/72.jpg

What do I need to do to correct this?

Thanks.

I am getting the same error....There is no way to remove this! Please help

Thanks!

Um those are bits that you have to remove from the admincp and the includes folder
If you look at that MySQL error, it says it CANNOT FIND THE COLUMNS - that means it was removed from the database and the bits you uploaded are trying to connect to columns that don't exist in the database.

Delete: admincp\mgc_cb_evo.php
Delete: clientscript\mgc_cb_evo folder
Delete: includes\mgc_cb_evo folder
Delete: includes\class_hook_mgccoding.php
Delete: includes\class_dm_mgccbchat.php
Delete: includes\xml\bitfield_mgc_cb_evo.xml
Delete: includes\xml\cpnav_mgc_cb_evo.xml
Delete: includes\xml\hooks_mgc_cb_evo.xml
Delete: includes\cron\mgc_cb_evo_digest.php
Delete: includes\cron\mgc_cb_evo_ban.php

Resolved.

Plus, if you referred to the readme attached with the product you wouldn't have such an issue.

THANK YOU!!!! :up:

Thank you. For us n00bs, after having something installed as long as that was, one forgets that there are other steps involved.

I don't think that is possible.

There's a link up top for the site to purchase the branding free which uses the chat. And like I said 300 times, the new one to work in VB4 is being converted. Last time I say this. ;)

There's instructions in the zip that tells you how to both install and uninstall. ;)

This happens when i try to remove a group from the admin page you can find on the forum home page.

http://www.highflow.nl/forum/forumleaders.html

Strange thing is that i already removed this mod from my forum. So how can this mod still be focking with my forum?

Very simple. You didn't folllow the uninstall instructions. ;)

Re-download the version you yad and follow the uninstall instructions this time.

after MGC installed, my server getting many 500 error.

so i decided to uninstalling it.

500 error is an INTERNAL server error and this script would not cause that UNLESS you didn't install it correctly and were missing files, even so, if that WAS REALLY the case you would have generated db errors instead.

PM me if you want and I'll help you install it if you would like.

Hi there.. after moving my forum to a new server the private chat is not working anymore... I can send a private chat to a user but it never get it.. after some minutes waiting to see anything in the chatbox display nothing hapents.. when im trying after a provate chat to send a normal chat a message popup says another chat is being proccesing...

Anyone please ?

Simple, you didn't move ALL the files over obviously. Try reuploading all the files. If the error still persists reinstall it.

Remember everyone, that just running the uninstall from the Product Manager doesn't delete files, any more then installing the product adds files to your server. You still have to delete the stuff you added via FTP.

This Erroer at update on v2.4.2

Did MGC Chatbox not have the option to disable images [IMG] in the past? I cannot seem to find that setting anymore...

never mind figured it out

General question for the developer, are there any plans of creating a version made compatible for version 4x and above?

Just wondering.

This chat is awesome but had to deactivated seems that with 3.8.5 the refresh after like a min stays stuck and it doesnt refresh no more so when your typing stuff you dont see what you typed in only way to see it if you refresh your page so just thought i let you know to see if you can upgrade it for 3.8.5.
