I strongly doubt the files will fix themselves, so unless someone else encounters the same problem and is willing to assist me, it's pretty safe to say that nothing will change :)

Aside from all of the CSS that Firefox doesn't like from vBulletin, the only things related to dbtech are:

Warning: Expected declaration but found '*'. Skipped to next declaration.
Source File: http://www.dfwsportbikes.org/clients...out_editor.css
Line: 1

Warning: Unknown property '-moz-opacity'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://www.dfwsportbikes.org/clients...out_editor.css
Line: 1

Warning: Error in parsing value for 'filter'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://www.dfwsportbikes.org/clients...out_editor.css
Line: 1



Doesn't seem to be anything that would be severely impacting of the "Loading..." issue. But it also doesn't load the text editor at all, so I would take that with a grain of salt.

You'd need to check the Errors tab, as those are just CSS warnings :)

I've registered with your site now that I so cleverly and stealthily aquired your URL, and I do not experience this Loading... issue.


Fillip

The only actual error is:

Error: this.aVSas[thisCbnr] is undefined
Source File: http://localhost:81/
Line: 413

And that may be part of the problem... half of the error logs are looking towards www.dfwsportbikes.org and that isn't the website yet..... it WILL be... but currently I am testing it locally and not live.

If you actually go to dfwsportbikes.org, the site functions fine... it's just the local copy that I'm having issues with.

Then that is indeed most likely the issue :)

JavaScript has a tendency to halt any un-loaded scripts if it encounters an error, so if that script errored before vBShout loaded, then vBShout would be denied.


Fillip

But that's my problem.... I can't transition the site over from one server to another until I know that the shoutbox will work effectively... what do you recommend?

Upgrade the live site :p


Fillip

Hey filip, I love this mod so much. I'v used it for over a year on diffrent forums..

But I have a question, Is it possible to move the white text box from the left, to underneath the shoutbox? Thanks :)

That is a Pro-only feature :)


Fillip

And what happens if it breaks on the live site too? What kind of "backup" or reverting can be done?

As you saw previously in this thread, if the same kind of error as they received occurs, I've offered to look into it on their sites :)

Downgrading is not supported, and renders you ineligible for future support.

I have updated vbshout to 5.4.7 and getting error. Its just showing loading but loads nothing. Getting really confused.

Any help would be highly appreciated

Cheers!

Please look at the last two pages of this thread for assistance :)

How do i add this to my Portal vBadvanced CMPS v4.1.1

nice but two questions? How do you change to type shout at bottom istead of side? and how do u make it where the active users window shows on right side?? thanks in advance

It shows on the right side by default (or left side for RTL languages) and it can't be controlled beyond that.


Fillip

Hi, Okay I have re-installed the 5.4.4 version. Its working now. But the problem is user can not change font and font color.

Tried with error console on Firefox. But not understanding anything. How to fix this ? please help.

Sorry, downgrading is not supported. We cannot support previous versions.

Fillip

Okay I am happy to upgrade to 5.4.7. But how to solve that loading problem ? from previous few pages I was unable to figure it out how to solve that. Can you please help ??? Board link is

where do i get pro here? thats what the installer put on my other site.. thanks

I can't register to your forum due to your complex registration form process. Please provide me with an account that can access the shoutbox.

You don't, and vBulletin.org would not have provided you with the Pro version :)


Fillip

Can't get it here? or can't get it period?

Ok Thanks tryed this but i will stay with MGC Chatbox which has better options. Your shout is nice but i will just stick with my MGC Chatbox.:)

It can be purchased from our website :)


Fillip

ok thanks and thanks for your time

How do you disable hooks in config.php?

Fillip

v5.4.7 Hotfix
Fix: The shoutbox should no longer get stuck on "Loading..." if you are running no other DBTech products. Please re-download the files then re-import the product .xml file. It is not needed to re-upload the files.

Fillip

After I added:
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

That is not a vBShout error so there's nothing I can do about that unfortunately :(


Fillip

Is there a way for me to disable plugins through mysql?

Plugins are cached in the datastore, so doing that wouldn't do you much good I'm afraid.

Please try re-downloading and re-uploading all default vBulletin files, as I can confirm this does not happen on a vBulletin installation that has not had its core files edited.

Fillip

I've uploaded another hotfix that should no longer require you to add the disable_hooks to config.php.

That being said, being unable to replicate this issue, I can't guarantee it will do any good.

Fillip

Hi there, I figured out why it wasn't working.
I am a dumb ass.
I did not set vBSEO to 666...so i was locked out.

P.S: Thank you Belazor and Ozzy47 for helping me out!
As always quality plugins and amazing support!

Glad it worked out :)


Fillip

You have got a PM with Login details

You're still running v5.4.4, which is unsupported.

As for the loading issue, please re-download, re-upload and re-import the XML file. I believe I have fixed all the outstanding issues and also addressed the upgrade difficulties.

Fillip

Thank you so much. Its working fine now. I will be going for the pro in a week time. I prefer life time one.

Shoutbox has become extremely slow. After pressing enter its taking too long to show text on shoutbox. Am I missing any settings ???

Try setting the refresh time to a lower amount.
You should also turn off the context menu, as the additional data it sends leads to extra server load.

In addition, hiding the shoutbox from guests prevents them from taking up resources when they can't shout (no guests can ever shout).

And finally, setting the Idle Timeout to a lower amount as well as turning on Auto-Idle can also help reduce the resources it consumes.
