vb.org Archive - Chat Modifications

I don't know what's going on but I can not get this to show up on my forum. I have it turned on and everything but to no avail. I'm using vb 4.0.6

OK, never mind. I added the extra command /kiss.

I also made it truly multilingual by using a phrase in class_formatting.php. I used the same name as setting

$text = construct_phrase($vbphrase['mgc_cb_evo_cmd_slap_phrase'], $user['username'], $chat['text']);

$text = construct_phrase($vbphrase['mgc_cb_evo_cmd_kiss_phrase'], $user['username'], $chat['text']);

Not sure I get you, can you post a screenshot ?

The new options are highlighted by a little NEW in red so easy to follow.
There are a lot of settings because I want to allow user to customize the chatbox to their own needs.

About usergroups, I could perhaps do an own page to set the usergroup permissions of each groups at once only for chatbox part, a sort of extract from the usergroup permissions. Is this what you need ?

This is in the reported bug list and this has been fixed in the next release.

Anyway great work VB-Dev I look forward to future releases of the best Chatbox release on the VB scene. :D

Thanks, I don't pretend to be the best chatbox release ;) At least I do my best to provide a good product and have fun doing it :D

Thus the need to turn of or disable the general channel.

Thanks for your help!

Ok added to my todo list : http://www.forumcoding.com/project.php?issueid=10

Might be due to existing bugs.

You should apply all the bug fixes that exist.

Quick answers :
- Have you set usergroup permissions ?
- Have you tried different options of position ?

For the slap that won't work as is in the next version as I implemented the possibility to add multiple slap sentences.

Your kiss command is interesting, I might implement that.

I simply created the phrase using the same setting name and replaced the call with

So all you would have to do would be to create the phrase if you are adding extra settings

I love the fact that when you switch language the command that was already sent also changes.

in English: userXX sends a kiss to YY

and switch language it displays

userXX envoie un bisou ? YY

If you are adding the slaps dynamically you could always insert the phrase like they do in notices, using slap_{slapid}_html.

If it's extra vBoptions then you already know the name

I haven't created multiple settings, I just changed the input to a textarea in the options and each slap phrase is on a line so that ain't possible ;)

Yes I do agree with you but that means the admin has to be multilingual speaker ;)

You gotta explain this a bit more to me :)

OK, I'll give you an example of what I just did. I am using Bobster tabbed forumhome mod.

Every time I add a tab, I do:

PHP Code:


		
			
        $tabid = $db->insert_id();
    $db->query_write("
        REPLACE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase
            (languageid, varname, text, product, fieldname, username, dateline, version)
        VALUES (
            0,
            'tab_{$tabid}_html',
            '" . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->GPC['name']) . "',
            'bobster_tfh',
            'global',
            '" . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->userinfo['username']) . "',
            " . TIMENOW . ",
            '" . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->options['templateversion']) . "'
        )
    ");
    require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions_language.php');
    build_language(-1);

That inserts a phrase for that tab.

When I edit the tab, I already have the tabid, so I do

PHP Code:


		
			
        $phrase = $db->query_first("
            SELECT phraseid, varname, text
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase
            WHERE varname = 'tab_{$vbulletin->GPC['id']}_html'
            AND languageid = 0
        ");

And below the tab name in edit mode, I do for translation link

PHP Code:


		
			
        print_description_row($vbulletin->GPC['id'] ? '<div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:6px"><a href="phrase.php?do=edit&amp;fieldname=global&amp;phraseid=' . $phrase['phraseid'] . '" target="translate">' . $vbphrase['translations'] . '</a></div>' : '');

In forumhome, Bobster displays the tab like that

PHP Code:


		
			
$yui->add_tab($tab['name'], true, 'tabindex.php?' . $content, $active, $tab['cache'], $tab['limitto']);

So I simply did

PHP Code:


		
			
                $tabid = $tab['tabid']; 
                $tabname = 'tab_' . $tabid . '_html'; 
                if($tab['iden'] == 'm') 
                { 
                $tabname = 'tabmodule_' . $tabid . '_html'; 
                } 
                $tab['name'] = $vbphrase[$tabname];

(the extra code is for the modules which I also did but did not include in example)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, in your case, since you are doing one per line, then you'd have to insert them each with a unique id or that will not work, unless you tag them with an $i value. And that could be complicated.

I am having a small issue with this. If I have it set to display in forums, it works just fine; however if I try to limit it to just one forum (id 8), then it does not show in any forums (not even forum 8). Any ideas?

Ive applied all fixes except:

Problem with missing class_display.php file in vB3 [See here for a fix]

Im using V4 so i skipped this one, is that correct?

Also this one doesnt seem to link to a fix?

Smilies don't get added to the chatbox when in the "more" windows [See here for a fix]

After applying the fixes i am still getting a white page on my forum with product enabled. If i disable the product the forum is working again.

Any more suggestions? I would really like this chatbox to work on my forum.

Dear All,

As of the latest advance on the chatbox I was wondering if it would be better or not to move the notifications as a specific mod but still with the possibility to have those notifications in a column in the chatbox (but not melted with chats anymore).

Therefore I'd like to have your advice, what do you think ?

look for

PHP Code:


		
			
$jsvars    .= "var mgc_cb_evo_height = " . $chatbox_height . ";\n";

and change it to

PHP Code:


		
			
$jsvars    .= "var mgc_cb_evo_height = \"" . $chatbox_height . "\";\n";

Excellent. Thank You!

Keep getting this:

Code:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 1412



Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 1412



Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 1412

Shows up at the top of the page when you go to the archive -> actions -> view all chats of (user). Something seems to go wrong when checking for usergroup permissions.

I also noticed that even though "Log the chatbox management actions" is enabled in advanced options, the log viewer always stays empty. Tested this by deleting a couple of test chats both in the archive view and the full chatbox view.

RobbieZ

08-25-2010 08:56 PM

I meant have the option to allow notifications 'melted' or in their own column.

Do you have specific commands active ?

Yep tested and it's indeed buggy, I'll look into it for next release.

That's is already possible but if I was separating the notifications from the chatbox (in a own mod), then the chats couldn't be melted with the chats but still could be put in a separate column.

Commands?

Yeah chatbox commands, see your acp

Barteh

08-26-2010 12:30 PM

Interesting. I have three of those commands disabled by default: announcement, pm and team. If I enable those (i.e. all commands enabled), I get twelve warnings instead of three:

Code:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 1412

*EDIT*

And if I disable 'slap' in addition to the three above, all warnings disappear? I suppose I have my workaround now, but it is quite odd.

usually white screen indicates missing templates. Have you imported product????

Is it possible to display the FULL chat on a specific page? Rather than the standard/small chat?

I added $mgc_cb_evo_var to a page and it displays fine, but i'd rather see the full chat window

Or, is it possible to edit the template? or display of the full page, so I can add a video feed to it?

How do you unban someone? There's no option for it that I can see..

08-28-2010 04:13 PM

Thanks for this; it seems i've actually loaded it properly the first time (which is a miracle in and of itself, let me tell you!) but I do have a couple of issues I hope you can help me solve.

I did import the Lang file, and followed all those directions; however, the initial 'type chat here' is in French, as well as all other 'fill in box' phrases/words. Also, in the admin control panel, while all the directions/individual pages are in English, the pulldown box titles under 'MGC Chatbox Evo' are also in French.

I can't seem to find an option to change those to English, other than translating them individually. Any suggestions?

One other stupid question - where can I change the color of the box?

Thanks again!

Is there a way to unban someone in the MGC Chatbox?

We were testing the ban process on our site and it permanently banned a helpful member from the chatbox?

Please respond, any info welcome.

The answer is available to you by clicking the "?" icon on your chatbox:
/ban show : Open a popup window containing the list of users banned from the chatbox with the possibility of unban users simply through buttons in this window.

There are options that need to be set to your expected text in english.

I'll in the next release provide translation to those who only want default text (with instructions of course on how to install it).

Which box ? Chatbox is using default style colors and so on.
