Does anyone know what this means?

thank you for the nice chatbox.

i have a question or two is there anyway to change the color of the font on the send and refresh buttons i have a dark board with light text and it is not very readable.

thanks again for the hack

Is this hack compatible with a 3.0.3 version of vbulletin?

I've found all of the code references in the install instructions but I'm not sure how to import - where in the admin do i find the "Product Manager" for the import of the xml file? The only thing I see under Import & Maintenance is "Import / Export" of source board format.

Thanking you in advance,

kdh

Works a treat

/me installs

any way of adding a smileys button,at present smileys work if you paste in the code from a smiley.. a button to clickable smileys would be nice? possible? :ermm:

no 3.0.3 doesn't have the plug-in system , upgrade to 3.5.2 :o lol

Shoutbox slows down my site. Are you having the same problems with this version, if not, why not?

TIA

Hi,

I'm concerned that if I pop this into the front of my forums page that the odd passer by may leave abusive language etc. Can't really ban them from the forum. Or is this only visible to registered people.

Is there away of banning certain words from appearing.

Thanks in advance. :squareeyed:

How can I change the color of the text inside the buttons???

Thanks

Can we make the chatbox only visible to members??

Any help to my last post??? How can I make the chatbox visible to only members???

Yes, simply add these:
Before the Code
and the following after it:
If you want a notice, add this above where you add :

This chat box uses the forum's post system, ie. tags that can be used in posts can be used in the chatbox. This is not confirmed but I think that the swear filter may be in effect too :ermm:

Why not just close it off to guests?? See above post :nervous:

Rudi

say I don't want certain usergroups to view the chatbox.... what would I add?

Can some create a cp in the admincp for chatbox like HERE

excellent, thanks!

Hi Mastar,
I don't know about the AdminCP integration but I could make a standalone PHP file that administrators only can use to edit their chatbox if that would help... :ermm:

:ermm:

From my current knowledge of how vB works, I think you have to go through the permissions of certain usergroups, what I don't know is how we get the Chatbox to show up in these permissions... :nervous:

Well thank you! I would like to see how that works, can you please?! THanks again.

Hello again Mastar, I will try my best although results cannot be guarenteed :nervous:

I will get to work on it ASAP, currently just working on my whole new Bulletin Board system, MageBB :)

hmmmmm

I've installed this... but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to prune messages... it would be nice if at every interval the script would just prune messages that are either older than X hours/days/weeks or if there are more than X messages in the chat...

Worked on my test board, but...

I am currently using MySQL 4.1.14-standard. I get this error when trying to import the xml product file.

Thank you.

Help please? Thanks...

hmm, is the test board on the same database as the other board? If so, this could be conflicting...

No, they were on seperate databases, just did that so I could see a live demo of some hacks and templates myself, before I upgraded my forum.

Anyways, it seems to be the wrong syntax... for some weird reason. maybe the issue is "'sl_" portion?

This is very exciting news also. Just need to convince my brother.

i would hep you if I knew what was going on

say hmmm... is your test board running the same chatbox lite version as your live board? did you follow the instructions right?

I'm hoping that I will get to use this if my brother agrees.

Any word on the previous support request? Thank you.

Yes ::

:)

* Work will be started on my CP Module for this within the next few days.

Oh, haha stupid me.

Anyways, when I try to upload the product xml file, it seems to report that the synax doesn't agree.

Actually, my test board was 3.5.2, then I upgraded my main forum (the one I use, not the test) to the 3.5.3, which seems to not be agreeing correctly. I'll double check to see if it just doesn't work with 3.5.3 and report back.

Thanks!

Well, it seems that the version isn't the issue, just the upgrade process could have caused it... here is the MySQL error I get when importing the product (aka it shows this when I click on "Import" and doesn't import the product)

My MySQL version is 4.1.14-standard. It works on a test board of vB 3.5.3, but won't work on my upgraded board of 3.5.3...

Hi,

first of all, thanks for the really nice chatbox! :) It's running fine now in my brandnew vBulletin installation @http://www.celica-community.de

I had to patch a small thing to allow usernames containing ticks (as mine):

$username = ereg_replace("'","\\'",$vbulletin->userinfo['username']);

And then use $username in the rest of the code instead of $vbulletin->userinfo['username'].

It would be great if you could add a fix similar to this to your codebase. So I (and probably others) won't have to take care for the future. It also enhances your security. Someone might be able to inject SQL by using a malformed username or something. I think it's not trivial or maybe not even possible, but why not going the safes way?!

Cheers,
Thomas

Otikeu: I had the same. Just change the statement in the xml to: show tables like 'sl_shout'.

But do this with care and only if you're sure the [yourprefix]sl_shout table is not existing already in your db. This is a nasty workaround to get it running, but it works.

Aw, yes that is what I thought, but wasn't too sure on what to do. However, I was gonna backup my database and then do that, but now that you've confirmed, I'll proceed with it heh. Thank you for the help, I'll post what the results are.

EDIT: It worked! Thank you!

while i try to importing the product it appear to error. this is what the program noticed>>>

Does anybody can tell me what happened with this? and what should i do to install it please..... :ermm:

Same issue as I had, check the posts on this page.

Also, what file do I edit to modify Chatbox templates? Cause, I wanna take out the input text field so it doesn't auto refresh... and just customize it some more. Also, maybe for the next release, a /emote system? I can give you a list of good ones.

It's obvious that this mod is made for a lighter skin, if you have a dark skin then you cannot see the button letter's or the text people put into the box. I like this, a bit better than vbshout to be honest as it's much lighter on the db. If someone could tell me how i could change the font colors of the buttons and box text, i would be most happy.

The colors depend on your vBulletin's CSS customizations. It works on my dark layout.

You can check the coding, etc, through the chatbox_lite.php file.
WARNING! Basic PHP knowledge required.

just installed with no problems :)
