The inibition use of the bbcode size for me don't work as max size.
Why this ?

i cannot use characters like :

é è à .... otherwise i need to close browser and try again with 'normal' characters ?

XiZa 05-09-2008 08:26 AM

well he does use substr and stuff in his code which is not utf8 compliant however, é etc works with me..

Another request, when you set the initial state to inactive mode, it would be better if there was another message than this:

The chatbox is in inactive mode.
To leave this mode, click on the refresh button if visible, otherwise press the F5 key to reload you browser's page.

Leave this mode? The user never entered it as it was the initial state and F5 won't solve the problem in this case.

On a side note when I as an admin type /team TESTTESTTEST it shows no where but if I look at the team archives then i can see the message.

Seriously any help would be appreciated.

How do you set usergroups for a channel ? Once you have created a channel, you have to change them in the command attached to the channel.

Or does the channel work without javascript as well? I tested it and it just showed a "loading..." message but I forgot to check if I could post stuff on it. Maybe there should be a fallback with iframe that refreshes every x seconds instead of ajax. Ofcourse that won't be able to use the new functionality you are hopefully going to incorporate (json :)) but I think only a small part of the usrs will have javascript disabled. Maybe you should also do a check to see if ajax is enabled (and put that value in a cookie so as not to check on every page) and if not use the iframe fallback.

Btw, this message:

"Error : you can't send a private chat to this user as he doesn't have the necessary permissions to use this feature.
"

should be "he/she", not just "he"

This is perhaps the case for other phrases, I will correct it but it won't be a top priority task !

If you activate the warning system yes.

I am not very fan of the tabs.

Btw it would need full recoding of the template and I don't have time for it. Remember I do it for free during my free time ;)

I don't understand this point.

Where are you trying to default the color ?

There is too options for color, one for usergroup in the admincp and one for each user in their control panel (modify options).

The name is displayed if you haven't set your image name correctly.

As I explained there must be 3 images and you don't have to put in the channel creation page the _sel,_nosel and _new nor the .gif extension.

Why this ?

The max size inhibition doesn't avoid users to use bigger size if they type by hand. Otherwise, they won't see in the size menu anything bigger than your limitation.

Oh I didn't knew that ! So this could be why some users are experiencing sometimes problems with special characters.

Do you know a way to avoid that ?

This seems strange that not all experience that problem.

Yes he never entered but he will want to leave it so the sentence is right on that part.

And F5 should be pushed if the refresh button is not visible.

If inactive mode is active by default, refresh button will always be visible otherwise the admin is stupid ;)

Lindsey 05-09-2008 09:09 AM

okay, so is there a new release? my shoutbox has stopped working

XiZa 05-09-2008 09:20 AM

Check http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php for multibyte safe functions.. Could be a setting to use the mb_ equivalent, since not everyone has this extension enabled.

It then simply becomes mb_substr

Yes but F5 won't work.. so that is a faulty statement.

I wanted to set default chat color, cause the white text was apearing if there is a option to change that. I don't have a problem with different templates. Having same color as the template does.

I also cannot setup channels.

I have created 2 channels and i have also done the setup for the allowed usergroups. But those settings are not saved. (see screenshot)

Everytime i call the settings for the channel, the settings for the usergroups are empty. Maybe thats why users cannot switch channels?

Any helpwould be appreciated.

Thanks, Wachtmeister

People read fast and they might see F5 first.. It's just wrong.. It's not a correct statement I don't know why you don't want to correct this..

Kaycee123 05-10-2008 04:52 PM

I have installed a program into FF that looks for errors, and I'm getting this message every time a chat is being processed:

vB_AJAX_Handler.prototype.fetch_data() is deprecated. Use responseXML.getElementsByTagName("x")[i].firstChild.nodeValue instead.

This is for vbulletin_global.js Line 11

The chatbox is still working, but is there something I can do to fix this? Or does it need to be fixed?

Hey, everyone.

I am really sorry if this has been asked here before, but I have absolutely no time to read through so many pages, so in case this has been reported and resolved here before, please link me the post. :)

My Chatbox Evo had been working fine on my newely installed forum. However, I just started translating vBulletin to my language and when I switch to that language Chatbox Evo stops working. The language in the chatbox switched to French if I'm not mistaking and I am unable to send any messages and basically do anything at all.

Does somebody know why this is happening and what I can to to solve it?

Thanks in advance for any input you may give me and, again, sorry for not having time to search through the thread.

EDIT: Figured it out. I entered the wrong code for the HTML character set. The dash was missing, I typed in ISO 639-2 instead of ISO-639-2. And now everything works and I am happy. :)

Lindsey 05-10-2008 11:27 PM

Im sorry to say this but I have went with the Cyb chatbox for 3.7 .. It runs faster also

Oh you mean that you want to be able to set default color per usergroup on a per style basis ?

I don't have a chatbox installed yet I am sorry I can't check that.

However some users reported that the settings were still taken into account even tho ?

Have you applied the patch for the channels bug ?

They aren't missing and shouldn't be in that directory, they are vbulletin default so perhaps you don't have them in your custom style.

1s is far too small for a refresh rate. It's less thatn the ajax call duration so this is logical that the chatbox lags when setting a such low rate. You should consider using a higher refresh rate (5s at least, 10s would be good).

It's your advice, you do whatever you wants but trolling the thread out like that is not really needed.

XiZa 05-11-2008 04:17 PM

It would be nice if you had an easier install like that other chat product. Yours is still superior though ;)

estatiktik 05-11-2008 05:37 PM

ok its my first install and its not showing it at all...

- Go in the Plugin manager of your admincp

- Edit the "Chatbox display on forumhome" plugin

- Replace : $search_text = '$forumhome_markread_script';

- By : $search_text = '$chatbox_forumhome';

- Then, go into the Style manager and edit the FORUMHOME template

- Put the $chatbox_forumhome var before the $footer var

i did that step but nothing happend and i cant find the $search_text but found it on $find = '$forumhome_markread_script';

what did i do wrong...please help...thanks

XiZa 05-11-2008 06:28 PM

I just checked out the mgc_cb_evo_chat table, why are you not denormalizing the usernames? Like done in the thread and post table? Wouldn't that also make it less resource intensive? No extra , unnecessary join etc.

XiZa 05-11-2008 06:31 PM

and same for the session table (who is online)

You mean due to the command installation ?

This is because I wanted to allow coders to make their own commands.

You are not exactly right. They indeed have the username in the post and thread tables but the joins are still there.

The username are in those table in case a user is removed from the system.

You can't upload just a few files if you have imported the product which seems to be the case !

You haven't followed the instructions of the readme correctly, you are supposed to upload needed files and the import the product.

Yes we have tried to assign/set usergroups for the channels but they do not save and thus it appears that the usergroups can thus not see the channels. I can look in the archives and see that the messages are in the appropriate channel but for some reason even as an admin I can not see them on the regular chat box.

I do not know what you are talking about. I do not believe I change or made any entry for the html character set...

Can you tell me where you made this change so maybe I can get my chat box channels working?

soundbarrierpro 05-13-2008 02:10 PM

Wierd......I posted an issue today and it's gone. Anyway, Mine works but there seems to be a spanning issue on the forum. In my vbadvanced cmps module it works fine and spans no problem. On a 19" monitor it works fine on the forum, but on a 17-15 inch monitor it doesn't span right no matter how I adjust the resolutions. Instead it stays the same size and makes a horizontal scroll bar. I don't want that, I want the chat box to span to the proper width of the screen.

Ever since I installed this mod, I have had general funkiness in my forums. Things don't line up rights, some images don't display and my ACP is all screwed up. Take a look at this screen cap of my ACP.

The only mod I have installed in my forums is this one. All the files and templates are completely unmodified except for whatever this one did.

I try to uninstall this, but when I goto my products page and select the "uninstall" option and press the "Go" button, nothing happens. None of my "Go" buttons work.

Without wiping my forums, how can I uninstall this if the program does not let me do it.

HELP!!
