ZT i thank you for the quick response and fixes. This great hack just got better :)

Zero, is it possible to transform this so it will function as a shoutbox alternative in the forumhome template? It then needs to be smaller. I've tried this but can't modify it as it sould be. Maybe it has to have a refreshbutton because people are complaining about the flash-refresh.

Heya,

The hack looks great, but can it be used on busy boards/does it use a lot of server resources??

Greets,

I did instal it on the parent style :| maybe i just messed up somewhere

Thanks for the advice on the first one though (I like my background :( oh well)

I tried modifying the templates, but i couldnt ;| Everytime i tried, i messed up

Greets,

vBChat Page uses 1 extra query to the default vb amount, so thats 6, iframes use 1-3 queries. So id say it uses hardly any resources what so ever.

        scrollbar-highlight-color: #3B5C8F;

        scrollbar-shadow-color: #3B5C8F;

        scrollbar-track-color: #213B60;

        scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #3B5C8F;

}

Change the "BODY" to "HTML" and stick it in your forums skin css additional css. If your not sure where that is then follow these guidelines:

ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Main CSS -> Scroll To Very Bottom To See: Additional CSS Definitions -> Paste CSS In There.

Hope that helps you,

Ah, so much better. Do you have other plans for this?

Question: Where do I edit to change the background of the IFrame? o.O;

One of the questions I would like to have seen an answer to went largely ignored. Is there a way to show the users in chat (or at least how many are in chat) on the forumhome? If so, then you've answered my 3 month-long prayers.

Squally

10-29-2004 03:05 AM

First of all, great job man. Question though, I seem to be having a problem with the users online, it keeps taking everyone off except for me. So people are in there but they aren't showing up on my screen.

Modify your skins css in the acp, change the body background attributes so it has no image, but this will cause the bg image to be removed on all pages.

*hrm* So there is no body tag in these templates for it? Thing is my bg clashes with the text and you can't see it that well unless highlighted.

Also a suggestion: How about having an option to make the chat page a pop up. No navigation bar or address bar. Just the window alone with the Iframes. That would work well when users want to surf the forums and chat at the same time.

10-29-2004 05:04 PM

Okay, thanks for the scrollbar info, i?m going to try it out. :)

Great chat however,

I changed the iframe background color to white so the whole background doesn't flash everytime it refreshes and that helped. Is there anyway to refresh and not have the text flash? It is SO distracting and difficult to look at for very long. Or did I do something wrong when I installed it?

How did you change the background color to white? I'd like to do the same.

lisagriff

10-31-2004 10:53 AM

to change background to white:

chat_iframe template

change

Code:

<body class='alt2'>

Code:

<body class=' '>

it is installed and working fine. I wanted a chat room for my forum for a while, but most were external and not intigrated with the forum, and I had no control over who would use them. This one is different, it meets all my needs and I can control who uses it, IE only members.

THANK YOU.

Now I need to figer out how to ad a smilly menue on the template and also I would like too add a whos in chat on the index but I searched with no luck
Besides that its awsome

Zero Tolerance,

Just a suggestion or an idea is to actually have like an announcement script to post to the vbchat system sorta like a news post that runs thru every 2 to 3 minutes like irc does.
If its possible then this would be a great add-on for it.

That didn't really fix it. o.o;

Zero Tolerance

10-31-2004 09:45 PM

Try changing

Code:

<body class='alt2'>

To:

Code:

<body bgcolor='#000000'>

Announcement idea sounds good, i was thinking of implementing when i thought about multiple-rooms, since then it would post it all rooms.

User's currently in chat on the index page will be in the next version btw peeps :)

Hi,

Thank you for this great hack, I've been waiting for this.

[high]* arpy clicks install ;)
[/high]

A few post above there was the suggestion to show how many people are online on "whoisonline".

Because this type of chat uses many resources on server, a max. user count would be very nice.

Another suggestion is to update the "who is in chat" only every 60 seconds (maybe include a button to refresh immediatly...

Hmm, looks interesting. Does it have an option to show who'se online in chat near the forum who'se online list by any chance?

The white flashed even on my DSL until I changed the background to white. But what I was really referring to in my previous post was that not only did the white flash, but the text also flashes when it refreshes.

So now the background doesn't flash but the text does!

I knew I could change the bgcolor instead of hte class but I wanted to leave it there for the time being until all was set up the way I wanted it to so that I wouldn't forget where to change it back if I wanted to.

Yes it does clearly show who is in chat if one views "Who's Online" (and has proper permissions to do so)
One of the filemods is to includes/functions_online.php

11-01-2004 01:06 AM

Just re-read your request, sorry, it sounds like you mean in addition to the forumhome listing of who is on line you want to see who is in chat without having to click the who's online detail link. There is no option for that.

Red Blaze

11-01-2004 02:48 AM

For some reason it still doesn't work. I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong eventually.

I just want to make sure that this is the way it is suppose to be working as I am not familiar with any other chat programs other than ICQ, MSN, etc... and they don't do this.

Is the text suppose to "blink" when the screen refreshes?

Thanks,
Lisa

quick question: when does the "Users Currently In vBChat" refresh. It seems to take forever. For example one of my members that Whos Online doesnt show to be on the forums is somehow still in chat. Its kinda odd to be chatting to someone who isnt there anymore

Zero Tolerance

11-01-2004 06:49 PM

The text may blink for slow modems because the page has to refresh, remember php outputs an HTML page and is not an applet, so cant dynamicly change, so a reload is needed im afraid.

And to the person who said this uses a lot of server resources needs to re-check the code, it barely uses anything at all, an additional 1 query on the page, the users in chat iframe uses 1 query, and the chat itself uses 1 query (possibly an extra few for extra msg's and such), but barely anything compared to the rest of the default page's on vBulletin forums itself.

As for refresh taking forever, possibly your server loading slow perhaps, both frames are set to refresh every 8 seconds.

As for giving me the code for the chat in forum-index, no need, its only a simple bit of php to draw out the data already loaded and a template edit, thanks for the offer but i prefer to do things on my own :)
