vb.org Archive - Chat Modifications

Thanks for the file edit for disabling that query. The old version didn't require any queries for the smilies but it's no big deal.

About the javascript error. Here's a screenshot of forumhome after clicking the logout link:

Besides these already known three bugs...:
[Major but non blocking] vBulletin confirm popup (logout or PM) have been reported by somes users as not displayed in IE when the chatbox is active (IE javascript triangle appears)
[Medium] Chats doesn't get removed from the chatbox when the inactivity mode message is displayed
[Minor] When chats display option is "Oldest first", the chatbox doesn't scroll to new chats on load.

i need the updated code for this to have a perfectly running chatbox:

Any hope on getting some help with this?

Without the javascript error it will be hard to find ;)

Also - separately, is your next release likely to solve the "non-scrolling" issue when using "oldest first"?

Yes yes I hope to ! I think I'll perhaps need the help of some javascripts guru on that one coz I have tried different ways and nothing did it...

Hum really ?? Then it's not that sql query we are speaking of. Perhaps it's the one for the announcement in the chatbox if you have activated it and the imagecache is not already called by a vBulletin file on that page. Have you activated announcement and bbcode in announcement ?

I think the number of queries in the next version will be a little higher on page load as I am thinking on modifying the chatbox in order to have the chats loaded on startup such avoiding the little delay of first loading the page and then retrieving them through ajax. This would certainly be appreciated by some people around there :)
So don't worry if you see that the number of queries in the next version is a bit higher (1 or 2 I think), this will mean that I have implemented that feature.

Overall it will do the same number of queries than in the other way as the retrieving of chats through ajax does a number of queries equivalent to a load of a minimal vBulletin page. But you don't see them ;)

Thanks for answering, but:
I might be misunderstood.
I know stangger's vba mod for MGC Chat and I use it. The prob is, the vba mod is designed for the center column of vba, because it's impossible to right-size the Chatbox that far it fits the left or right column. Stangger's mod only wraps your Chatbox, therefore the only place it fits on vba is center column (or you risk a layout mess )
What I suggested was: A bit more configuration of chatbox itself.(e.g. separation of input line and Icon line, using smaller icons, setting a width etc.) to get the whole thing fit in a side column. And that can't be done by stangger's mod.

Regards.

All extra features added in this version are disabled. Announcement and bbcode in announcements features are disabled, too. When i disable the smilies, i see the chatbox is running with only 1 query. In the old version (3.6 version), i had smilies enabled and it was still running with only 1 query. Maybe it's because you added "by random order or by admincp order" selection ?

Javascript error says: "Object doesn't support this property or method" i don't think it's helpful :)

Alright, waiting for your answer for the similar changes...

I could add the following options :

Small icons/Big icons
Separate input lines and buttons

But perhaps it won't be enough ?

No this new option has nothing to do with this query, humm.

Na this ain't very useful :( ... as long as I don't now which object it is ...

Thanks, it would be great to have this and may be a configurable width of the the box. A config to separate username and timestamp (2 lines instead of one) could help either.
I really appreaciate this!!

I think you misunderstood my request, or I misunderstood your answer. I wasn't talking about any error.

My request: I have a mobile-device optimized skin and would like the chatbox to NOT show when using this skin. But I do want it to show on my other default skin.

Is there anything we can do to get it to not show on a certain skin (in my case, the mobile skin)?

However I don't see the point of separating the username and timestamp. Btw it would really complicate the chatbox template and I am not that up to.

Yes you can by following the chatbox style issue and adding the variable as explained only in your needed style's templates.

You have to activate the smilie bbcode for the chatbox it's an option of the chatbox.

Edit the mgc_chatbox_ajax.php file and search in the code contained into the condition $_POST['do'] == 'ajax_refresh_chat' :

You must modify the sql request :

PHP Code:


		
			
      $chats = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
            SELECT c.*,fromu.userid AS fromuserid,fromu.username AS fromusername,fromu.usergroupid AS fromusergroupid,fromu.displaygroupid AS fromdisplaygroupid,
            tou.userid AS touserid,tou.username AS tousername,tou.usergroupid AS tousergroupid,tou.displaygroupid AS todisplaygroupid
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "mgc_cb_evo_chat AS c
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS fromu ON (c.fromuid=fromu.userid)
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS tou ON (c.touid=tou.userid)
            WHERE $where_clause
            ORDER BY sticky DESC,c.dateline DESC
            LIMIT $limit
      ");

By adding after :

PHP Code:


		
			
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS tou ON (c.touid=tou.userid)

This:

PHP Code:


		
			
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS uf ON(fromu.userid = uf.userid)

And after :

PHP Code:


		
			
,tou.displaygroupid AS todisplaygroupid

You should add field8.

Then you can use $chat[field8] in the mgc_cb_evo_chatbit template.
