any latest NEWS from MGC camp.. ??

i hope this product has new features like :

1. depend in java so it will not make high load by using mysql and php
2. using flash files to enable chat voice and video like 123flashchat

Still waiting for help with this issue.. :(

VBDev is in vacancy ;)

It would seem so :(

Just installed this mod and it looks REALLY good!

One problem I'm having is...

when the chatbox is being displayed in 'forumhome' the alt text for the icon to show the shoutbox on a new page is dispalyed in French rather than English even though I've got the English translated phrases installed:

setting_mgc_cb_fullmode_desc English (US) Translation Enable the Chatbox on a full page? <br />(url : url_forum/mgc_chatbox.php)
setting_mgc_cb_fullmode_desc Standard Phrase Active la possibilit&eacute;ed'afficher la chatbox sur une pleine page (url : url_forum/mgc_chatbox.php)

Hey All,
If you read way back you would know that VBDEV had a family emergency but also had a planned 2 week Vacation the last 2 weeks of August and into Sept.

He wrote about it back a few pages.. ;-)

As for pruning your posts you can do it if your using 1.4.
To prune them all..
use the command:
/del all

If you want to be able to do one at a time you have to go into
Admin-->MGC Chatbox-->Shouts display-->Display Delete Cross in Chatbox

Hope that helps.
Darrell

Hi pegguy

Yes, you're right, the command /prune doesn't work because it's the command /dell all to prune all messages of the chatbox

Err I thought that was what I said Sophia.. :p

Have you heard from him at all? Hope everything is ok.

Later
Da-Chief

Yes, sorry, i'm tired ^^ Mtor will come back soon. ;)

Ok, sometimes i have problems with refresh...
sometimes the chatbox crash and dont refresh anymore...

see this is generated by bugzilla:

if anyone knows how to fix tell me
thx in advance! :)

ahha! Thanks you two. I just assumed that it would be /prune since that's what the other chatboxes use.

Thank you!

Hmm, very nice mod. I seem to be having a problem with it though.

I think others have had this problem but I dont know if it was ever solved. When the shoutbox is viewed as a guest, it will say after 4 seconds that the user has been inactive, etc, etc, even though I have it set that it does not show that until after 5 minutes. It only happens to guests (on FF, and IE) so I dont know what the problem is. Also today my host contacted me about the shoutbox taking up way to much CPU Usage/Server Load...it seems like it is slowing the entire page down. I already had the stats option and team chat warn disabled to help on the server load. The last thing I can think of is making sure inactive counter works but I cannot use it if guests are counted as inactive after 4 seconds....Please help.

can this be used to replace something like flashchat? ive been looking for a replcement for a while but never have found something that will work. namely a more "standalone" version of this script where you have to enter a separate page to chat. ie this w/o being able to access from the forums and force people to go to a "chatroom" page where its the full version.

ok it seems the loading is fine ... when i enter www it works just fine but without www. i onlysee loading

the same problem again! :mad:

I believe I found the CAUSE of the dissapearing chat box.. It happened to my admin account and I don't want to change the config.php file to unprotect my name so I created another admin account.. This name, I can see the chat. All you have to do, is make any change (or no change) in your control panel and bam, it's gone. I deleted and recreated the new name and the chat is there. I went into my CP options, changed nothing, clicked save and the chat is gone. This is with version 1.3. Maybe that information will help fix the problem Untill then.. Hope no one changes their CP options. Did you others that have experienced this happen to change something in your CP?

EDIT!

You can restore the accounts by uninstalling the 2 products that come with this, and reinstalling them. You will need to restore usergroup permissions though. and you will lose your logs and such.

Running V3.6.8, MGC Chatbox V1.2 (tried V1.4 but it was too unstable), using browser IE6 & IE7.
Read thru all 90 pages of posts, didn't see anything about this problem:

At 1024x768 resolution the chatbox box extends to the right side, off screen. You have to pan over to the right to see the BBcode, Smilies, Help buttons, and to read long chat lines. At 1280x1024 Chatbox displays just fine.

P.S. Other than that, Chatbox Rules! An occasional refresh twirly hangup, but, hey, this is a great hack; gets people on my forum more involved, makes the forum more intimate.

POSTSCRIPT - Sept 1, 2007
It was a self-inflicted wound!
If you go past 75 for the "Width of the field input" it causes the chatbox to start over extending to the right.

Dev, hope your hols are going well and you're all rested.

I'll pop back after the 2nd to see if you've got ver.1.5 done. ;)

Hello all !

I am just back from holidays.

I'll be looking at all the messages since I left tomorrow, an update correcting the loading problem will be available in the upcoming weeks.

Clément

i have a new problem. Certain people cant see the shoutbox anymore, they could see it before a few days ago and it works fine for most people but tere about 3 people that cant see it at all. They havnt been banned or anything, there usergroup setting are correct also so now i dont know what to try

We just installed this and I noticed that when the Box is minimized, the box collapses then the previous shouts pop back open even though the text entry field is hidden properly.
Is this how it is supposed to work, or is everything supposed to collapse like other boxes?
Thanks,
Phil

Hello. Could you implent this mod into VBadvanced? :)

2 weeks away is too much to handle carefully all the problems that have been encountered while I was away. So I?ll do my possible to answer to all the questions.

All my personal problems are solved now so you shouldn?t worry anymore, I am back !

The version 1.4 is quite unstable I know it and you should stop asking about loading problem coz they all come from that point ;)

Anyway the 1.5 version development will start soon. I?ll try to release a bug fixing version as soon as possible but this will take a little bit more time as my girlfriend is coming to live with me J I?ll try to release it quickly.

Here are my answers, I hope you?ll not get too lost but this was a real pain to manage.

@chillingcafe : Regarding your style problem, I don?t think that it?s a chatbox issue. I suppose you encounter that problem even if you do a small modification in the css ? You should rather ask for help on that part on vbulletin.com as it?s more general than a chatbox problem.

@lolo?: Ok that?s an issue, I put it in the bugs? list

@silvermerc: the color and text types can be saved from within the usercp in all versions since the 1.1

@nymith: yes I add it the <unregistered> thing to the todo list

@Jackfrosted : the chatbox background is linked to the forum background as there are no specified chatbox background color, this is pure html modification I think, I?ll add something to the todo list to see if I can do a vb option for that or a css option.

@Henry187: yes thanks for the bug notification; this is noted in the todo list J

@Henry187 and lucky51: Regarding the fact that the chatbox doesn?t appear for some of your members, you should check if you have done the modification in the modifyoption template. Coz if it?s not the case then any modifications of their options by the users would lead to that kind of strange thing.

@Ba$im: You should use a merge and compare utility for that purpose.

@Terminot: Did you get the same error with the 1.3 version ?

@gforce75: this should be the same problem as for Henry187 and lucky51, if the modifyoptions template is not modified and your users modify their options then the hide chatbox option will be set to 1 as this option won?t be present (coming with the template modification).

@dellow: Not sure as I don?t have my computer there but I think I hardcoded it in the online hooks (yes I know that?s bad)

@catmandoes: Yes I know, but as I do it for free during my spare time I didn?t find the time for it yet

@godarium: The error is in the readme French file don?t worry J , the correction is planned for the upcoming version

@baghdad4ever : I am not author for the Arabic language file so I can?t help sorry, regarding the search thing, this is not possible but that could be interesting yes, I put it in the todo list.

@angy82: What do you mean by not working ?

@WhyDoesItMatter: I haven?t personnaly tried to sorry as IBproarcade was the most used arcade mod.

@Za4a Tuner: yes I know I have to do that xhtml validation too :D

@Ohiosweetheart : the command is not /prune but /del look at the help in the chatbox ;)

@theOzer: this is due to all buttons in the 1.2 version, this is why I did smaller button for the new versions, you?ll have to wait till the next version

@Traxdata: I think you made the modifyoptions template modification wrongly.

@silvermerc: and the option in their usercp is correctly set ?

@chariotdrived: this is normal functioning, set the number of shouts in collapsed mode to 0 to hide completely the shouts J

@Hendrizius: read the thread post, it?s already done ;)

Going about the information above, I checked my second (default but modified by me) skin and the template changes hadn't merged over to it.. So even though we could all see the chatbox, the template changes were not made and we didn't have the options in our CP and that's why saving in the CP booted us from the box. That's my fault.

So now statistics show and everything, except I can't figure out this "mgc box" to the right of my top advertisement... What did I do wrong please :( Thanks!
Andrew


EDIT: got it, in my skin the navbar code is actually in the header template. I found the spot, put the code in and it's working fine!

OH and welcome back, I'm glad everything has worked out for you at home :)

Works like a charm!

Another suggestion: you should make this shoutbox integrateable into the left or right columns of the VBadvanced index. That were another awesome addon for portal Users : ).

I did and got the help, thank you. However I still have a problem a few posts back that you must have missed. And that is -

The chatbox continues to get hungup on the forumhome. the round refresh image between the text line and the OK button just keeps going round and round and round. The only way to break the cycle is to click on the Archives link, be taken to the Chat archives, then go back to forumhome, where the chatbox will then load.

We have to do this almost every time we open forumhome.

Any ideas what to do?

thanks man. i have my faith restored with you :p

Just aquestion : it works with vBulletin 3.6.8?

Yes, It works good with vBulletin 3.6.8 !

Unfortunately i couldn't able to translate the whole AdminCP phrases but the rest of the lines are done.

Turkish Language file for MGC Chatbox

Somebody may complete my work if he likes...

This would require a full addon development and I don't really have the time for that sorry.

Maybe in the future but not right now.

Hum that's strange, maybe this is the main 1.4 problem which is causing that but not sure.

Any javascript error shown in the internet explorer status bar ?

As a matter of fact, bocek from here has completed your work but I didn't had the time to release it due to my personnal problems.

But it will of course be integrated in the 1.5 version :)
