cool - thanks - found the setting and enabled it :)

As Is it's not possible. It would require a bit of coding but that's not very complicated.

I don't have the time to do it now but I could guide you through the steps if you have a bit of knowledge in php ?

Hi,

Guiding me would be brilliant!! :up:

Thanks again

i have a question.
tell me plz how to set the writing settings?
i want that my messages in the chatbox are allways blue and size4,
but i have do set it again and again :(

Basically what you have to do is edit the chatbox plugin attached to the global hook.

In this hook, you'll find a global condition to check if the chatbox is active ($vboptions[mgc_chatbox] or kinda, I don't have the code beyond the eyes so don't remember the exact one).

Before the content in the condition, you have to add an sql query to count the messages since the last 24 hours (dynamic count):

The query is not tested so you should verify before that the postid and dateline fields are the good one in the post table (for the postid I am pretty sure but not for the dateline).

Then you have to put all the actual part of the condition in a second condition :
Where 10 is the number of posts per day you require before using the chatbox.

Of course this a homemade and hardcoded modification so you could also replace the 10 value by the one you want or even better, create a new option in the chatbox group (possible by activating the debug mode) to do just the same thing but giving easier access to modify it ;)

Feel free to ask for any help if you encounter problems ! And give me back the final code so that I could use it in the versions following the v2.0.

I suppose you have done the mandatory modification to the modifyoptions template so you just have to go in your usercp and then you'll see chatbox options for that purpose :)

Thanks for the guidelines. I will get cracking on it.

I really hope this is something other members would also be able to use. Since I installed the chatbox I could physically see posts dropping. Hopefully this will encourage my members to post once again. Guess the mods will now just have to be wary of 1 liners but that is the least of the problems... :D:D

Thanks again and if I have any questions I'll let you know. :up:

Yeah, users always use the easiest ways to communicate which is not always the good one.

vBulletin software is used to build forum so the chatbox is only an addition which should not be used as much as the posting but users tends to do the contrary lol

Yes, my help template was not up-to-date.... thanks :)

How can i do to delete these "<" ">" in the chat box?


Anybody could tell me please?


Thanks for this great mod first of all, kind regards.
