Can someone post an uninstaller
|
Thanks sv1cec/John, they will be definatly something i consider.
Current v2.0 Features Completed: - Iframe Refresh Abolished --- The system now uses hidden iframes to gather data, then uses Javascript to transport the HTML to the display iframe, which never reloads, and never flashes white when recieving chat messages or posting, just like any of chat system like MSN etc... - Users Currently In vBChat Reformatted --- The display of users is now more formal, showing the there chat status here, also displaying a link to send a private message instead of clicking there username - Timestamp in messages --- The timestamp has been put back, it was removed in an earlier release due to the user chat status, however this has been moved to Users Currently In vBChat Display - vBChat Preferences Redesigned --- The vBChat Preferences form has been re-designed to be a more neater and easier to use form. - Smilies Animation Problem --- Before when clicking to insert an emoticon, the animation of any current ones would come to a complete pause, this has been fixed, you can click on them continually and the animations will continue to play onwards. - Improved Users In vbChat --- The users in vbchat display is now more correct, and works towards your forums session cut-off time, where as before it may of displayed a user offline, but still showed them within vBChat, this is no longer a case, improving accuracy more :) That's it for now, i'll get working on more things to stuff into this thing. Thanks to everyone who has supported this modification. - Zero Tolerance |

Zero, good to have you back, your programming skills are certainly very welcome here.
The new features take away most of the problems. I would like to suggest something, as far as the Chat rooms are concerned, and which has been discussed here a few posts back. The chat rooms can be divided in two categories, those created by the admin and those initiated by users, in order to have private discussions or whatever. The ones the admin creates should be permanent, while the others should get erased (according to my opinion) automatically, as soon as the last member logs off. That takes care of the wishes of some admins for permanent rooms, while in the same time reduces the admin work, who does not have to go around erasing private rooms which were created and then abandoned. Of course, the thing that remains to deal with, is the log out, which is a problem. In my board, the log out button has made the users list neater, no more users showing there, if they are not really there. But if you have any idea on how to disable or forbid users from closing the chat window, that would be really neat. I am looking forward to ... re-patch your new version for AWS. Kind rgds |
Well that's a good idea, however i think an alternative method would be more appropriate, let me hear what you think.
When an admin create's a room, they can choose for it to be permanent or not, as for rooms getting deleted after the creator logs out, kinda bad, people would be annoyed if they are still chatting inside that room. So.. How about rooms that are *not* permanant are pruned after 1 hour of inactivity, this prune time would ofcourse be admin controllable, but i think if the room has had no messages inside it for the last 60 minutes, or whatever time the admin specifies, it should then be automatically pruned. That's my thoughts on this anyway, i think it would be the most appropriate and liked method. - Zero Tolerance |

The time-out feature, where rooms get deleted after some time of inactivity is a nice backup feature, in case the last user of that room didn't hit the logout button. Suggestions only my friend, act according to your own judgement. Rgds |

But if you really want to un-install then... Run these queries to un-install the DB modifications: Code:
drop table `vb3_vbchat_datastore` Code:
drop table ` vb3_vbchat_store` Code:
alter table `vb3_user` drop Then "un-do" all file edits made during the installation. @ sv1cec - Ah yes, sorry, guess im still asleep. That is a good method, but some users may want to keep rooms active, so i think if they are deleted after a certain length of time of been in-active, then it will cause less problems. Thanks for the suggestion in any case. :) - Zero Tolerance |

Thank You!
May I humbly make one small suggestion? When all users leave the chat room, can it be automatically pruned? That was the only thing I wish could be there. If you would make this feature, I would be extremely grateful. It can be a bit weird for people to come into the chat room and be able to read whta was being discussed before (I only wish to have one room) It seems the new version waits from 1-24 hours to auto prune. Can this be instant? As soon as the room is empty everything is pruned? Thank you for all your hard work. |
Hmm, but if a user was to join/leave rooms all the time, it could cause high server load.
And that feature doesn't prune the messages after x hours of inactivity, it removes the actual chat room, unless it is ofcourse the default room or a parmanent room :) - Zero Tolerance |

Start with a fresh index.php, and then try modify it again for the vbChat edits, if you still get an error post saying so :)

I've spent quite some time and i've actually managed to conjour up a way of telling if the red "X" was pressed in the corner via Javascript, the method is working for firefox aswell as internet explorer, so now if a user closes the window without pressing the exit link or using the exit command, it will still say they have left as soon as they close the window :)
I think this gathers up all of what is needed for v2.0, expect to see the release later tonight or tomorrow afternoon, depending on what random events fire-up :) - Zero Tolerance |

Ruh Roh... I ***think*** it was 1.0.1 :(
My bad for not paying closer attention. |
Alright, run the following queries, change vb3_ to your table prefix :)
If you get any mySQL errors while doing any, just ignore them, it means you already have that part installed. Code:
alter table vb3_vbchat_datastore Code:
alter table vb3_user Code:
alter table vb3_vbchat_store Code:
alter table vb3_vbchat_datastore - Zero Tolerance |
Thanks for the update, I will check it out soon. I had moved to the SigmaChat integration system because the users were not digging the page refresh thingy. I will give this another try to keep as much as posible locally hosted. Thanks again.

Seems to work now ZT, thanks much. :)

One thing I do not see is the exit link? |
Also, upon exit, I see a small, non-resizable window that appears to have a cut-off message, perhaps a "credits" window?
