Has anyone noticed a significant decrease in performance when this is installed compared to the regular MGC Chatbox? My site loads slower with this on.... I'm talking slow as in 4x as long to load. This chatbox must be pulling a lot more queries.

Have you tried to disable/activate the chatbox and see how much queries differences ?

I haven't added much queries since the previous version on page load.

4 times slower seems really a lot to me.

Keyser520 04-17-2008 01:55 PM
I was trying to add this and got to the language part.. it says that you created the language in 3.6 and i'm on a later version... what do i do?

Keyser520 04-17-2008 02:12 PM
I overode the English language and ignored version... but it won't display..

I changed my FORUMHOME template to read

...
</table>
<!-- / icons and login code -->
<!-- Keyser added -->
$chatbox_forumhome
<!-- /keyser added -->
$footer
</body>
</html>

and modified the Chatbox display on forumhome plugin to read

$find = '$chatbox_forumhome';

instead of
$find = '$forumhome_markread_script';

but it's not working..
HELP?

If I disable the chat, my site is fast as hell... If enabled....tanks. I have it set to show the last 150 lines so it's not so bad....but it's definitely a lot slower then the previous MGC.

Keyser520 04-18-2008 01:02 AM
Ok... so I fixed that problem.. I didn' thave the permission set (I'm an idiot.. lol)

Now, here's the question... can someone explain "channels" and "commands". I've been trying to figure them out, but nothing seems to be working on em... please help. Is there any documentation?

Do you have a test account with admin access so that I can see it in action ?

Sorry no there is no documentation unfortunately.

I honestly don't have the time to write a full documentation, vbulletin is not my job ;-).

What have you tried exactly ?

I understand about the time. Thanks for putting this whole program together in the first place!

I tried to create a channel. It wouldn't let me do that without creating a command as well. I called the command "test". When I typed in /test in the chatbox .. nothing happened, except that the message "/test" was posted.

I am not quite clear on what channels are, though I think they are basically different chat rooms... such as "join chat for discussing crazy stuff" or "chat for talking about why dogs are better than cats".

I am not clear on what commands are supposed to be, but I think they are things that happen when you type in /command... like in IRC, typing in " /me gives a high five"

would output

"Keyser520 gives a high five".

I also think, again not sure, but think, that a command would let you switch channels, too.

Am I on the right track? What am I missing?

Hi, probably a stupid question, but the install procedure is:

Upload the content of the "Images" directory in each of your forum styles directories"

My question: where are the forum styles directories ?

thanks for any help!

My members and I have noticed that our forum 'freezes' while reloading the chatbox. If I set it for 2 seconds, it freezes every 2 seconds.

Any suggestions on this?

Maybe you have it set too high? I would think every 2 seconds would put a huge strain on resources, especially if a lot of people are viewing the ChatBox at the same time.

I had it set at 60 seconds afterwards, and it still froze everytime the shoutbox updated.

With the last version, you are not forced to create a command, the command creation can be done along with the channel creation.

Have oyou installed the last version ?

It depends of the styles you have installed on your forum.

All mods have issues with the new release ! Check the vbulletin.com news :)

I will be updating the chatbox for RC4 either on saturday if I have time or one week after as I am on holiday next week.

joe1989 04-23-2008 09:24 PM
OK, so in the Readme, I'm getting confused with the ambiguous directions.

First of all, the first thing I don't understand is "Upload the content of the "Images" directory in each of your forum styles directories." What style directories? I have no directory called "styles."

Secondly, "Import the MGC Chatbox Evo product". What's that mean? Where do you go? How do you do that?

I think if the directions were a little less ambiguous, it'd be a lot easier to download and install...

maidos 04-24-2008 12:58 AM
is it possible if anyone could give us a quick fix, since its too long to wait till saturday or another week

rapidphim 04-24-2008 01:31 AM
is it possible for someone to provide a demo link for this? thanks.

txspaderz 04-24-2008 03:25 AM
Ambiguous? You're not serious right? I hope you're being VERY sarcastic.

Do you have a custom skin? You upload the images to the same folder.

Have you ever installed a hack? If not, you might not want to mess with these as you will cause yourself more headaches. Try looking up some Documentation.

Learn to use your forum before you go somewhere and call someones instructions 'ambiguous'

I got it figured out (I should have figured it out in the first place. My members like to look back at the days chats and see if they missed anything, so I usually keep the chats to around 200 kept in the box. I guess it was taking a second or so to pull the chats from the filesystem.

I dropped it to 50 and it's working like a charm now!

Rock on with your bad self

You do indeed have style directories if you have any custom styles. We also sometimes refer to them as "skins" or "themes". Styles have their own directories, which is usually the same name as the style. Like my forum uses two white/blue styles called Centura and Centura_X. So all the images for those are stored in a folder called centura. If you don't use any custom styles and you use the default theme that came with vBulletin, then you would add the images to your images folder. But if you use the default AND any custom themes, you need to add the images to each directory for a particular style, in addition to the images folder.

It's in the folder called Product. It's called product-mgc_cb_evo.xml. You import that through your Admin CP >>> Plugins & Products >>> Manage Products >>> [Add/Import Product] >>> EITHER upload the XML file from your computer. Look for the XML file and import it, but only after you've uploaded all the appropriate files.

It's not that they're ambiguous, but they're pretty standard for any mod installation. If your not familiar with mod installations, or you've never done one that wasn't a simple template modification, then I can understand why you'd be confused. But you'll find that almost all the major modifications here require these identical steps, and might even include some template modifications.

I'd recommend looking at some of the documentation, and even at some other mods on the forum. Once you get a feel for how everyone expresses things, installations will become second nature to you.

OK, thank you for your explanation! I got that completed. However, now that it's all installed, and I did the language thing and everything like that, how do I get it to actually show up in the admin cp or in the forums pages? I can see it in the admin cp, but only in code, like there are boxes with the php coding, and then i can edit it, but where do i go to actually configure the program??

Thanks again...

Did you add the content of the Files folder to the correct folders in your forum?

You shouldn't be that in a hurry.

Requesting a quick fix is dangerous you know, it's better to take time to do something rather than hurrying.

Bitwise saturday is in 2 days...

The fix is not a simple line to add but multiple lines to add to comply with the new vbulletin cross scripting avoidance mean.

Hum,
200 is indeed a big number of chats but shouldn't have caused a lag. I will need to test that if I can somehow a day :)

I did. I got all the commands set up correctly, too, but I can't get it to show up on the forums page. Where do I "turn it on"? I found the setting that says "position of the chatbox" (correctly configured), and also the one that says "activate chatbox" (also configured), but I can't get anything to show up on the home page. Why is this?

Thanks for your help...

Digital Jedi 04-24-2008 05:22 AM
Sounds like you already do have it turned on. Display and position should control the rest.

I can't figure it out. Everything seems to be set correctly, but it won't show up anywhere on my forums. I've tried multiple variations of settings, but nothing will work. There is no chat box on my home page...

EDIT: I tried the direct link to the chatbox, which was http://[mydomainhere]/forums/mgc_cb_...o=view_chatbox

When I did that, I got an error message that read: Joe, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


What's the permission setting I have wrong?! I've checked the command permission settings, but all of them allow administrators access; I am an administrator, and I am the administrator, lol...why don't I have access??

Digital Jedi 04-24-2008 06:00 AM
Heh, yeah, I forgot, I got that error too. By default, no one has permission. When you get permission errors after installing a mod, go to your Usergroup Manager and look for the settings for the modification. Generally speaking, Usergroup Permissions will be added as separate setting under each Usergroup. Just adjust Administrators and whoever else you want to use the mod under their respective group settings.
