This mod, along with the 4 other ones I am using on my 3.7.2 boards, is simply great. Took me some time to figure out the % in date & time and hope that a future version would include this. Thank you for your work and support !

thanks a lot jedi for your answer.

I have a small but strange problem. The chat works great but when I use ChatBox Full in a own page the footer border get misplaced --> see picture

This only happens on the chat page, has this something to do with the chat?

Hey Cyber or anyone else ...

Can someone tell me if this Mod works with VB 3.7.4?

Thanks ...

I just updated, it appears that users using internet explorer there browser freezes after 2 minutes of inactivity in the chatbox. They are forced to close/open IE.

had to unfortunately uninstall since there is no way to control a daily post requirement. other chatboxe's have it

i like this because its on a seperate page, only problem my members are tellin me is that it keeps tellin them its full...

Hey JPforFree,

I installed it too right after Heldenverband mentioned that he/she had no problems with it.

It seems to be working on my forum just fine without a hitch. I know I am using IE 7 and it isn't freezing on this end. No reports from other members yet either if that helps.

Iam thinking it could have problems because of different service packs if they are using XP. Service pack 3 stinks, and I removed it from my PC. Seems like it froze up my PC everytime I turned around.

Perhaps it's a server issue, or what IE version people are using.

Hope this helps ...

A couple of requests if I may for the next update:

get rid of the "Refreshing Messages" that keeps flashing up, its really is annoying

also the ability to export the chat archive to excel would be great or to a form post whichever is the easiest, the reason being to enable mods to save suspicious or questionable content for later review by Admin.

if the function was available to save to "historical table" which you could limit in days and hours that would be even better but I guess more work?

cheers for a great mod!

If he removes the refreshing notice, we wouldn't know if the mod was working properly.

Has anyone got the "auto-hiding Status bar to inform you about ChatBox activities" to work? Live demo?

This is one-step installation product (no file uploads nor manual code edits required), so take a minute and try it out.

I'm looking for a private moderators only chat add-on, but one which is like a chat room. Whenever a moderator writes something it should pop out to every other moderator, that is online and vice versa. It is needed for better collaboration between moderators so everyone agrees with a certain course of action being chosen. It would be advantageous to have the option to sign in the chat, to show that they are available as moderators. Maybe something like the one in facebook, but for more than 2 persons. I believe permissions will be based on usergroups, so having the same one for regular users will be good too.

I looked through the available ones, but the choice is big and I'm probably not even getting the full list with the search term "chat"

vBulletin? Version 3.7.2

Will this chat work for me?
Thank you.

You'd probably have to go with MCG ChatBox Evo for that functionality. It's somewhat harder to install, and doesn't always jibe with everyone's forum, such as mine, but it's the only one I know of that does that. However, you can set this one to only show to certain user groups if your not intending it to be a system that the whole forum uses.

For people who want permissions for who is allowed to view and not view the chatbox full and the chat box archives can use the following code that I created. It will also stop them from searching the chatbox(as searching the chat box requires access to the archives. A Detailed explanation is giving at the end.

The code is generic and adding user groups can be used if you wish to add them.

1 File edit is required and 1 template edit is required(with 3 sub edits).

1 File = misc.php

Find

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once('./global.php');

// redirect in case anyone has linked to it
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'attachments')
{
    exec_header_redirect('profile.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_js'] . 'do=editattachments');
}

Below it add the following and save(upload)

Add After:

PHP Code:


		
			
// testing chatbox

$urlname1  = "ccarc";
$urlname2 = "misc.php?do=cchatbox";
$vbuser = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$names = array("2","178","25");
if(in_array("$vbuser",$names));
$inarray = "yes";
$pos = strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],"misc.php?do=cchatbox");
$self = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$pos);
if ($self == $urlname2 || $urlname1 && $inarray == "yes"){
echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\">
history.go(-1) </script>";
}

1 Template Edit = cyb_chatbox

Please take note that you need to enter the user ID's that you do not want viewing the archive or full chat box mode. Simply enter the ID's into the below arrays for all three accounts, and remember these ID's have to be the same as the ID's that you entered into the misc.php file.
if condition="!in_array($bbuserinfo[userid],array(25,178,2))"

If it is too difficult to do the template edit, you can download the attached txt file and copy the entire content over the current content in the template.

Quote:

$urlname1 = "ccarc";
$urlname2 = "misc.php?do=cchatbox";
$vbuser = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$names = array("2","178","25");
if(in_array("$vbuser",$names));
$inarray = "yes";
$pos = strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],"misc.php?do=cchatbox");
$self = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$pos);
if ($self == $urlname2 || $urlname1 && $inarray == "yes"){
echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\">
history.go(-1) </script>";
}

$urlname1 and $urlname2 have certain strings declared to them, if any of these are present in the URL the user will be redirected. The ones already declared is enough for the script to work.

$names contain the array of the user id's. Simply add in a userid for this script to effect those people. seperate each value with a comma

$self == $urlname2 || $urlname1
If for some reason you declare a new $urlname you will need to add it to that OR conditional, and make sure to add an additional double pipe || for that new declared variable.

And in the end, if all is true, the user will be redirected to their previous history. If you decide to change this to Header("Location: ......."); make sure the Output buffering is set to on. And set to flush the output when it is finished.

------------
This is just a minor modification, as other modifications can include, A time period in which certain age groups can not view the chat box (this is used after watershed times, because of minors that maybe on that could view adult context within the chats.

Got a weird one with Cyb Chat on one forum but works fine on others.

With first Forum, it is running 3.7.4 and I simply choose Below Nav Bar in the AdminCP and the Chat appears on every page, which is great.

On second forum that I have just upgraded from 3.0.6 to 3.7.4 it has the same settings in AdminCP Options but will only display on Homepage of forums.

Both Forums are using same Skin

Even if I disable the Nav Bar option and paste $cybchatbox into the Nav Bar template at the bottom, it only shows on Homepage, but not on others, although the NavBar shows fine on others.

BTE Cyb Chat is only seen by Administrators and Moderators and not used by Registered users.

Any idea on what I can check?

Cheers

Sean.

Did you do any changed with the THIS_SCRIPT setting in the Admin CP on the forum that's displaying it on every page? I haven't checked to see if this uses a template hook to display, but it also may be worth checking to see if both your site's navbar or headers have the same template hooks in use.

Have checked both and they seem the same, did nothing special on after the install, just set in the AdminCP Chat options to Display the chat under the NAVBAR.

Mee too, is there a way to adjust it to do so :o

Thanks for the chatbox. All my friends of forum adore. We love it.

I would like to know if it's possible to add a ring when someone chat (post a message in the chatbox)...........because it's not easy to know when someone is chatting at the forum home while we browse others forums. We miss each other to talk sometimes. What a pity!

Another question: Can I put another color for the area(background) where I write the message. Becasue the background of my forum is white and the background of the chatbox is white too........some new poster take much time to find where they can write. (It's true! :p )

Best regards!

The chat bar, could it below all the messages? I believe it would fit the best there.

Locking up on
Loading... and no mesages showing useing IE browser.
Any fix yet?

FF is fine

there is a way to have less webserver load? when i active that chat on my forum http://www.softairmania.it/forum (only on index page) my apache2 web server got full cpu load (2xXeon 2,4ghz with 2gb of ram), take care that i've over 3/3,5 milions page view each day

how can I remove this from just one style? I have a iphone style and I really dont need it there...and it is stretching the style out.....

Pretty much that's dependant on your server's capablities + the traffic you generally incur.

I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I think you can remove it from the style by removing a template hook.

ok thanks I will await your answer :) - remember just one style, I was thinking an
if (styleid != XX){ } somewhere in a plugin would work, I also read that in another thread but it did not seem to work for me....

I've 2 server, first is only for webservice and it's a 2xXeon 2,4ghz with 2gb of ram, the second is only for databases with mysql 5,1 and a Xeon quadcore 2,5ghz and 8gb ram.

When i active that chat the webserver load increase and reach full load (99% of cpu usage by apache2), if you want, i can send you my apache config, but i don't think that can help :P

Hello I have the system of forums in Spanish and I cannot see the hour in chatbox, leaves [to me H: i].

I only can see it when I put it in English language.

Somebody could say to me that I must change and where to be able to cause that it leaves the hour to me in chatbox instead of [H: i]

Thanks.
