Hello, I installed MGC evo but i have some issues....

1) when I try to use /pm command says that userid does not exist
2) does not display any channels and
3) when I am writing in Greek does not display what I wrote. Displays only if I write in english .

Previously I hav MGC 1.5 and I had only problem with Greek Language.

Any Ideas?? Thanks

We had "securitytoken" followed by a bunch of numbers after each chat for the first couple of days but that has mysteriously disappeared!! And the chatbox also mysteriously appeared on my Arcade page, which I had been trying to do for the past month!!!

I'm not sure what all happened, but its all working well now so we're happy!!!

Cool ! Do you run vb 3.7.0 gold ?

No more securitytoken problems ?

1/ Check the command syntax I think you are using the wrong syntax.
2/ This has been reported, stangger5 has provided a fix while I was on holiday (see first post), I'll provide an updated version as soon as possible
3/ Do you have other issues with greek characters on other vBulletin features ? Like quick reply (the one using ajax !) ?

Yes, I'm on 3.7.0 Gold now. It's working fine, and our members are VERY happy the chatbox is back :D:up:

Problem with the greek language i had only by importing the language package, if you translate the phrases you can fix it(though you must speak french:))
Wriiting greek in the chatbox was never an issue for me and i have a greek lang based forum

Channels not appear.

1) yes it was the syntax :)
2) channel are displaying.
3) from quick reply Greek characters work just fine. the problem is that does not displays anything and if I try to post another message in english I am getting the following error. "Error : A chat is already being processed, please wait." :confused: and I can not post a message until I refresh my browser.

I want to ask something more about channels.

For example I have a member that exist in two user groups. So I want to have separate chanells displayed. But the channel needs command and team command can go only to one channel. Is there any solution?

I imported English language into Greek and for now displays everything in English.

This is perhaps a problem of setting of the language which is perhaps not the same as the french one.

You can create your own channel with its own command through the channel creation system.

VBDev,
Will you be issuing an updated version that will include all of the fixes I have been reading about in the thread. I want to install this on 3.7 gold, but I would rather wait until there is an updated version with all of the fixes. Thanks.

TimberFloorAu 05-06-2008 02:25 AM

We installed this and works fine..

Not to sure on what the command files are and where they go, the instructions arent that clear.

Also when chat window launches. We get: Entrez Votre Chat >>

Even tho we installed english version lol

Any ideas where we can edit this please.

Managed to fix the issue.
Edited Product product-mgc_cb_evo

Searched for Entrez Votre Chat and changed to Type Here

After a few refreshes we are noticing an error in XP and Firefox.

Command files are clear. Read them. Simply goto the commands thing, import that xml in the commands dir pertaining to which you want installed. Done.

Default chat message is in French. Simply go in, change that default message to whatever, or disable it too. I disable it.

To Change/disable ---> AdminCP ---> MGC Chatbox Evo ----> Chats Formatting

Bottom of page. Message to display in the input field...

I created different channel but asks for commad. Anyway when I wll check it more I'll come back with more details.

Now I found another issue. I have put for Reggister User Group to be able to see the Chatbox if they have atleast one post. I had a member that I was using for testing with one post. The Chatbox was not displaying until he did one more post.

So I assume that it checks the posts that the users do after the installation of the mod :confused:

If so I believe that is not correct. I have members that have more than one post but maybe they will not post for some days.

Can you please check it out??

Thanks,

John.

Becareful there are two usergroup permissions one for the number of posts and one for the number of posts per day !

This is perhaps the number of posts per day that you have set no ?

but it's not in your latest version (0.4.0)

VBDev 05-06-2008 10:53 AM

Then if it's not in the latest version it's normal !

You have to update to the latest version to make the securitytoken issue dissapear.

oh, ok. but i got 0.4.0 installed. and i fixed it with the files 2 posts above ;-)

Minimum number of posts during the last 24H to use the chatbox --> 0

Can someone make me a summary of what is working and what is not on the current version plz so that I can fix what need to be fixed. Too much posts to read ...

I am also having troubles with the channels showing text instead of the .gif for team and pm. I noticed for the General channel that the image called for in the coding is not the same as the image name. I am having troubles getting the Gen channel to show anything. Could this be one of the issues or has it always been this way?

In the coding it calls for <img id="mgc_cb_evo_channel_$channel[chanid]_on"

But in my channel image directory, it is called mgc_cb_gen_channel_sel.gif.

Is the evo and gen confusing the program?

I may be way off base, learning the coding stuff.

Another thing that I have noticed is that images folder for vB has the small i, and with the folder in the download package has the large I (Images).

Did you set your permissions yet?

XiZa 05-06-2008 05:29 PM

I've noticed that you are sending the entire contents of the chat table with each ajax request. I think it would be better if you only sent some sort of javascript array (json) with the new entries, and an empty response if no new messages were sent.

It will save on javascript processing (possibly javascript memory leakage as well) and on bandwidth considering this auto refreshes every x seconds.

XiZa 05-06-2008 07:37 PM

Also,

In safari (mac) private chats display like so: 06/05/2008 20:34From <lalala> (without the space between the date and from).

The private chat dialog also shows the text below it through, some sort of css error. It's the same in firefox mac. have not tested other browsers.

XiZa 05-06-2008 07:39 PM

And could you also tell me how to unignore and unban a user? Thanks

I made a screenshot of the dialog box displaying incorrectly.

soundbarrierpro 05-06-2008 07:41 PM

What type of strain if any does this put against your bandwidth considering it's ajax? If this is used regularly will it cause significant use?

Those fixes should not be needed when using the 0.4.0 with the last vbulletin versions.

The count is not based on a number of posts since install, that's strange.

Can you make a screenshot of all usergroup permissions please.

You need 3 images for a channel, they have the same name except the end :
  • _sel
  • _nosel
  • _new
followed by the extension.

Yes that's right I am sending the whole content.

It would indeed be perhaps better to send with the new entries.

However, imagine if a user remove a shout or ignore someone, then the need of a full reload is logical.

I have perhaps not had a good idea to code it like that but considering what I just said I don't see how I could do it in another way but perhaps you have another good suggestion ? :)

You mean the menu ?

Even with the screenshot I don't understand what you mean.

I have a mac and have tested on safari but perhaps not since that change, please tell me how to reproduce it.

You have to install the ban and ignore commands, then checks the help in the chatbox for more info :)

The memory strain is not on server side but on user side.

However XiZa is right, it will use bandwidth but that amount is not that significant comparing to downloading a file for example ;)

The use of the bandwith won't be that intensive.

Well,

You could add json commands like {command:'removeMessage': 112} and things like that to remove messages. But that would mean you would have to keep a log of removed messages.. and edited messages.. in separate tables since if you just send the last x messages you wouldn't know if they were deleted or edited.

Or perhaps just an extra column in the message table status: active, deleted, edited (perhaps a date value)

And if the user wants to ignore someone, then you can indeed respond with a full reload or just use client side javascript to remove the entries by that user if you kept that information available.

<tr id="message_y" class="user_x">

Also, when someone isn't online and you try to PM them, it states "that user doesn't exist". Think it would be better if you would say "the user isn't online".

Anyway, you have seen the popup dialog screenshot, will you be fixing that?

I also attached a pic about the spacing issue, small issue but would be better if fixed :) No space between date and "To/from" and after the name. Maybe if you used &nbsp; it would work better.

Also, a spelling error in the help: "usergroupds "

Edit: I would also love the ability to remove certain icons, like the button that empties the chat input field. And the ability to change the icon images.

Thanks

XiZa 05-07-2008 05:35 AM

One more question, I just noticed a different initial state (chat log) from two accounts. Is this a setting somewhere or a bug? If I go in safari to the archives I see all of it, but if I use my other user account in firefox, it only shows my posts I just made.

(Note that i am just testing this currently with only two users, offline)

XiZa 05-07-2008 05:49 AM

Also, the command syntax could possibly be made better?

Does vbulletin allow usernames that are numbers only? If not you could check if integer, its uid otherwise username.

Another error in the help:

/pm uname "userid"

should be "username"

I just checked and it doesn't appear that vbulletin blocks integer names..

Better syntax could be:

/ignore username
/unignore username
/ignore userid uid
/unignore userid uid

So only use a parameter (uid) to the more advanced option which I doubt many people will use anyway.

Don't require " " around the username unless there are spaces in the username. (then you could show an error mesage before sending the command to the server)
