I think you should calm down a bit man. I am giving this mod here for free for the benefits of users.

I know my mod requires many manual steps when it comes to installing both the chatbox and the commands. The reason is that I wanted to kept separated the commands from the core of the chatbox, thus allowing easier addition of the commands and allow the creation of new commands by the user themselves.

If you read carefully the phrases and follow each step of the readme, the install should be no biggie. Unless you don't read the full readme, coz there are few things that you should beware of:

1. vBulletin version you are running: due to the CSRF protection introduced in the latests vBulletin releases, you have to do a "trick" modification to make the chatbox works in version older than 3.7 Gold or 3.6.10. I explained that because I want my mod to stay compatible with oldest version of vBulletin and the CSRF protection is only in the recent one.
2. Style issues: on some custom made styles some replacement variables that allows automatic placement of the chatbox aren't there, thus forbidding it to appear. But I don't think you're encountering that, chatbox is showing for you.
3. Usergroup permissions: often users forget that when installing but you have seen it and correct it.

For your loading issue, this could either be a javascript issue (files missing) but I don't think as you are not newbie :) Or the vBulletin version problem.

Do you see any error in the error console of FF ?

If you don't get it to work I'll then give you a link to a post you should try to follow to find out the problem together.

I think you encountered that because you didn't change the bburl options while working on your backup server. It was certainly pointing to the url of your real forum, this is the only reason that would explain why it was pointing there for files.

I'm afraid I have no idea.. Even I set the usergroup with "Can manage the chatbox", the users are still unable to ban / edit or delete posts. How do I give the users moderation powers over the chat box (a specific usergroup) without giving them access on the forum? I can't give them moderation either, or they will see private sections.

I've downloaded your latest zip file twice & tried to unzip it & it keeps asking for a password?

Oh sorry the commands have their own permissions.

The can manage the chatbox will be enough to get the edit rights but you have to set also the ban permission.

I haven't put any password for the zip file.

Yes thats an option , but I wanted a command /radio so it posted a link like
*member says radio is online click here to tune in {link}

Would I be able to add something like this ?

You could create your own command for that I think if you know a bit of coding.

It shouldn't be that hard.

Not sure what you mean "bburl" ( im very new at this), the 2 are on different servers, the test one is on the original host and the new one migrated to new server. I did a scan for the Url it was looking for but it wasn't on any of the files. maybe database from a previous install, i did remove all file content and try again still same result, however its now successfully installed on main site works a treat excellent work.

The test site is also working now lol as the icons etc are on where its still looking for them.


Just a comment for SloppyGoat thanks for the input, its shows how easy to miss something easy like check where its looking.




One last thing are there any channel icons available other then the sets supplied, seems ideal to have several channels for different groups.

Bburl is a setting :)

I think someone did post some but not sure when or where in the thread :(

I'm not going to use this because it gives a page error, and that's really annoying.
Good job though.

I did a search and url is correct, maybe a file that's being used has wrong url, some of the stuff was installed by others so maybe they altered something.

Can you point me to where the url would be stored to reference the icons for team channel.

Its working fine on main forum.


one thing the variable to remove chats after xx days, should this be blank as i set to zero and it wiped the lot.



excellent chat tho nice work.:)
