It would be nice if this mod were all in english. It would make customizing the templates and phrases easier.

Did you install the english version of the product xml from the zip archive?

Installed with no issues. Thanks a bunch for making this available for vBa.

**INSTALL CLICKED!**

Yes the url that came with the db error. Forgot to post it... If it happens again I will!

Here goes another:

VBDev, Congrats on mod of the month! :up:

i have a member that cant get the shout to load .,. he is running vista and its a new install it says loading but never loads .. i can log in as him and see it fine .. what can his pc be missing that would cause this? .. and thank you for the great .. FREE shout box :)

If you use upload the english language file as da420 said, this should be good :)

For the templates and phrases Mischievious, you mean their name ? If this is what you mean, I won't change them, there are in french and they will stay as french names. I won't change everything.

I made a quick search on the web and it seems like this is usually due to a configuration of the server.

Maybe you can have a look at this page for example which explains it a bit : http://www.tech-recipes.com/mysql_tips762.html

Thanks Tulsa and Thanks to all of you who voted for me !

I use vista and never experienced such problems so it's quite hard to know what could be wrong with him.

Anyway, if he's using IE, does it tells me any js errors ? Has he installed particular addons to his browser on vista ?

he tried firefox and i.e he is the only person so far that had such problems .. i dont understand it .. and no errors are shown .ty for your replies

i just upgraded to the new shout yesterday .. he seen it before but he has a new vista install and has been using motel internet for 2 days . think the motel could be blocking somthing he needs ?

also he can read the archives he just cant load the shout ..

The only difference between the chatbox and its archive is that in the chatbox shouts are retrieved through ajax.

I am not used to everything beyond ajax (I mean all the server part and http requests) so I can't tell if this come from that part.

Does he encounters problem with other vbulletin ajax functionnalities ?

As a matter of fact, yes maybe there could be a possiblity that the motel internet has blocked port which might be used by the http requests of ajax but as I told ya I am not really skilled in that area ;)

No DEV ones a member and the other is a supermod, i do think that they are both using firefox tho

Then this may be due to the configuration you made for their usergroups permissions.

Check them out, especially the number of posts to see the chatbox one :)

yea i did that Dev i found that members need 100 posts to view which ive just changed to 1, but my supermod has been a member for years and has over 4000 posts :(, oh and he used to beable to view the shouty before i upgraded to 3.6.8

Did you verify that the modifyoptions template still contains the modification after upgrade ?

Coz maybe the modification needed for the chatbox has disapeared and your supermod has modified its option after that upgrade and if options were not appearing then they would have been seen as equal to 0 making the chatbox hidden.

Dev he can see the shout template and all the bits but the little refresh thing just keeps going round and thats it

Thanks, VBDev.

Great mod!!
Working fine.
But this mod working fine for only admin.
Another registration user group can't see MGC Chatbox.
Of course I changed permission to 'yes' for other registration groups.

What am I doing wrong?
Please help...
* I installed MGC V1.4 with VB3.6.8

Thanks. :)

Similar issues here, 1.4 with VB 3.6.8.
Very strange.

Usergroup perms set to yes, permissions to view the shoutbox are correct, posts required set to 0.

Just doesn't display for some users. I thought it would be not displaying for an entire usergroup, however I made a test user and put him in exactly the same usergroups as a user who was using the chatbox - and I still couldnt see it. Users are identically configured except for the name.

Using the same PC and same browser logging in as the other user, I could see it.

I fixed.
I did leave out a line. "posts required set to 0.".
Sorry my fault. :)

Thanks, sys4096

yea thats about the same here only afew people cant see it, well thay can but no shouts, ive now set posts to 0 and yes dev ive even gone into mysql again and thats all ok... funny that this happened straight after the 368 upgrade

I've installed (or at least tried to) and I'm having 2 main issues:

First, the MGC Chatbox box on the admin control panel is all in French.

Second, I don't see where the module is anywhere on any pages... I've gone through the installation html file inclued in the zip but don't see anything on my navbar or any of my pages, someone please help

thanks

You can use English with this product.
This product's version V1.4.

File deleted...Sorry.

Does they have an error shown in IE ? Which browser are they using ?

Maybe you didn't do the modifyoptions template modification thus leading to those error type if user edit their option as chatbox options are not in the page so considered as null.

Verify that you have modified that template like told in the installation and then if not do it. The user will then have to go to its ucp to put yes in the view chatbox option.

The only change I've made was a php upgrade to php5

That's not really illogical as upgrading infers templates changes.

So this might be as I told in my previous post, the modifyoption template modification might be missing.

For the language, have you installed the language file correctly?

For the module, this is maybe because you didn't set permissions well. If you're not sure of what you're doing, put a screenshot of the usergroup permissions you have put for the chatbox.

I don't really recommend multiplying the xml files for my hack so plz try not to modify it as far as possible. This could lead to errors which I won't understand why user complains about and so leading to harder support :eek:

Anyway ones can use your "language"ly modified version at their own responsibilities :D

You're still using php extension not php5 ?

Sorry :) Deleted.

Don't be sorry ;) This is just to ensure there is only one product version running everywhere at a given time :)

dev i took off all your files and the products and got rid of the template changes and then put them all back on again, still the same im sorry to say at the mo there are 3 people on my forum that can't see the shouty one of them is using firefox and the other IE, i have sett all the permissions right and even went into mysql i cant see anything out of place at all

What do they see in their ucp in the options part for the chatbox ?

There shall be an option telling if they want to see or not the chatbox.

yea they see that Dev, and they can see the shouty to, its just that its allways loading all the time and nothing else

member has just posted this
(I can see it, using IE as browser, and I do get an error message at bottom; "Done, but with errors on page." Shoutbox continually says "Loading.")

i have postcounts set on 0 for the allowed usergroups he is the only member having issues with all browsers he trys he can see the vbshout on other sites just not this one ..

When you double click on that error, what does ie says ?

Has he checked his options in the user control panel ?

Is there a way to turn off the chatbox specifically for IE? The reason I ask is I have my test forum running with transparent images and the javascript used to make it work seems to be conflicting with the chatbox.

Course it would be better to get the chatbox to work in this type of setup. But I'd be happy just being able to turn it off.

There also seems to be an issue with the time/username staying in the chatbox. I'm not sure what is causing the problem, but I'm sure it's something in my template as it works in the default one.

I can't log on your forum, the htaccess is ok but then I need a test account to see the chatbox :)

Oops, I forgot to set the Unregistered Users minimum posts to 0. You should be able to see it now as a guest.

well his chat is turned on like i said i logged in as him and seen it just fine ..

Yup, wow that's a very strange behaviour. This might come from the overflow property but I don't see why it would work on other website and not in that particular one.

I don't have js error with ie7, could you tell me which error is fired ?

Do you have multiple styles on your forum ? If he goes to the full page mode, what can he see ?

I'm unfamiliar with Chatbox. Is this like Live Chat? Thanks.

yes i do he hass tried all skins to the same result and all he can see is the loading message on full page or on the forums index ..
