how can the smileybox be adjusted?

Is it in the template or in the VSA Code?

We have made categories for the smileys but they will not be shown in the smileybox.
An the clipping of the smileys is a bit disturbing. Any ideas how we can fix this ?

Thanks a lot, and sorry for my bad enlish

Would it be to annoying for me to keep asking for help with my previous posts pertaining to changing the background color in the chatbox?

Lynne if you should just happen to see this post, what would be your suggestion for where to look in the code to do as I'm trying to do?

Probably so, since this has been answered about as well as it's going to be already. However, it's well buried by now so if you figure it out please repost the instructions in simple form.

IS there any way to put the chatbox on the Forum sideblocks?

I have made it *very* wide, that worked. Altering CSS didn't work, i couldnt find the css properties and I got tired of searching.

These are my settings:

smileys per row: 13 (i know this is very wide)
Smileys to show on startup: 26
Total smilies available (0 to disable smiliebox, 1 to use all smilies): 39
Smilie clipping in smiliebox (in pixels): 50

This looks OK in default style as well as my modified style.

Fail moment!

I wanted to change the title of the Chatbox to something other than "Chatbox"

I replaced all instances of "Chatbox" in the xml file with my own title then imported with overwrite.

Now it's giving me the following error on every page and the sidebar has disappeared:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/mysite/public_html/forum/global.php(29) : eval()'d code on line 99

I've tried undoing the changes and reimporting but still the same error.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Stop playing with the xml. Hopefully you can get back to a starting point by importing (with overwrite) a clean copy (not by 'undoing the changes' and editing yet more!).

Then you only need to read the thread to have all questions answered.

I tried importing a clean copy with overwrite. Still same problem.

I dunno then. My global.php from vb405 only has 51 lines in it, nowhere near 99.

It may be a good time for you to upgrade to 406. I hope all your backups are current.

Fixed. I'm an idiot.

This mod is awesome! But I do have one question...how do you disable archiving of messages?

Uninstalled

Lack of support

thanks nice one

Is this chatbox heavy for your forums ?
At this moment i have the shoutbox from Dragonbyte Tech online but it slows down my forum alot.
Now is the problem also my DB server, waiting on a new one at the moment. But which one is lighter for my present server ?

Thnx in advance

after installing new skin, it's black on black. Hard to read the text. How can i change the backgorund of chatbox to make it easier to read?

As with any script of this type, it depends how you configure it and how much use it gets. Certainly nobody with a forum of any size on a shared host should configure it as a chatbox. I have mine set up as a shoutbox (basically, short logout times), which discourages people from hanging out there and carrying on conversations - that makes things pretty light.

How to fix smilies with " bug ?

How to add rules ? to it?

Works great - I love this chatbox.

Does anyone know how to change the background colour or to put a border around it? If this has been answered previously I apologise but 90 pages is just too much to read.

Is there a way to block which forum id that will update in the chatbox?

I was wondering if its possible for me to include the chat on an external site as well..

I have a main site + forum, and I already changed my site so it takes the forum session and everything, so u need to be logged in to view certain pages etc etc, but I was wondering if I can somehow include the chat on one of those sessioned pages.

If so, how could I achieve this?

Thanks a bunch pal but I gave up and changed to a different chatbox

In the above link (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showp...&postcount=795) you can see how we change the background colour of the "text input area".

If you want to change the background colour of the "message area", then in Valter Templates>vsa_chatbox template find
and replace with
where #000000 is the desirable colour.

Any help?
Thnx

I like this chatbox BUT is there anyway that new posts and the like can be displayed over on the right of the chat box like MGC Chatbox Evo does.

As it is currently, it can get very confusing with all the new posts popping up when users are chatting.

Hey guys..

Does anyone have any tips on how NOT to make the smilie box have scroll bars? (besides turning it off of course)

I would like to be able to see my smilies without scrolling.

Thanks in advance,

The Admin Commands????

can you add that features like: prune, notice which is in Inferno ShoutBox

wait for reply...

/ me is available.
All other options are found in Archive menus.

having a small issue. when i log out of the forum and get taken to the logout page, the chatbox is still showing, which is causing me to lag for some reason because of the amount of smilies i have, its downloading them all, all 700 of them, and then logging me out. never did this before. if i were to logout it would instantly remove itself from the view on the logout page.

any ideas?

How do i exclude certain forums from showing up in the chat box when a new post or thread is made? For example i don't want post from staff forums to show in the chatbox.

Thank you for a great mod...

Some of my members are complaining the the chatbox freezes and they need to regresh the page to see the latest chat. They are on a mixed bag of browsers from what i can tell. Any advice please?

Can you set a limit on how many characters different usergroups can place in the chatbox? Of is there a general setting to configure how many characters there can be posten in the chatbox?

I am new at VBulletin, and apologize if this is answered elsewhere in the thread:


"To add to desired template (example FORUMHOME):
1. Add 'index' to THIS_SCRIPT locations (Product options)
2. Add 'FORUMHOME' to template names (Product options)
3. Open 'FORUMHOME' template and put "{vb:raw vsachatbox}" to desired line (for example after '<!-- /main -->') -> Save"

could someone dumb this down for me? I installed the chat plugin. It is listed in my Vbulletin 4.0.6 Installed Plugins and Products section.

I understand that the instructions above are to somehow tell vBulletin where to display the 'button' to click chat.

I cannot understand that set of instructions no matter how many times I re-read it.

The website is new, and we are working to add content, learn VBulletin and add features, content, forums.

www.frookty.com

installed an works great on FF an IE...

...getting a weird result on refresh in Chrome and Safari...

..each refresh scrolls to the middle of the chats instead of the bottom/newest chat...

any ideas?

Marked as installed. Anyway we can make a clear all chat button for the admin? I had to delete everything in there and it was 1page at a time was kind of annoying.

Couldn't you have set the autoprune to 1 hour?

I did. But if I go to the archive there is still 7 pages that I have to manually delete.
