ok no problem at all Im just trying to get it to show up now for members turned it on under usergroup options but its not showing to them for some reason or mods.

never mind figured it out lol Minimum number of posts required to use the Chatbox

going to try and clean some of these html errors up cause it gave me Failed validation, 41 errors from http://validator.w3.org

I must say that I forgot to do the validation ;)

I'll do it for the v1.2, shame on me :D

yeah alot are very easy for example everyone of the smilies is missing a alt so if you have 15 smilies then you have 15 errors. If you want I been saving my changes so far I can send them to you or post them when Im done. Im down to 15 errors now :)

I prefer if you send me by pm :)

Thanks

ok no problem at all there is a few im having a bit of trouble with but im sure you will be able to figure them out but ill make a note of where they are for you.

It's displaying the day as 'yesterday' for shouts posted today. For instance, shouts posted on 2nd June (today) displays the following date: 06-01-2007

Is there a way to fix it?

The date in the chatbox are linked to the date on your forum.

So if you have not set the options to show today/yesterday on your forum, this won't be active in the chatbox either.

The date on my forum is 2nd of june and I have the yesterday/today option enabled. It still says yesterday for shouts posted today.

Hum ok, I am sorry I didn't understand your first post ;)

Does this problem of date appears only in the chatbox ? I mean, if you post a message on your forum you don't have this problem ?

No problems :)

Yes, the problem exists only in the chatbox.

This seems really strange because I insert the date in unixtime in the database with the TIMENOW php function of vbulletin.

And then I parse the date with the date building functions of vbulletin with the date so I don't see where it could come from. And as you say that it works perfectly with the rest of th vbulletin functionnalities this is really strange.

Anyway I am too tired now it's late hereby so I will take a look at it tomorrow, it may come from the options I use in the vbdate function, I'll check that.

Yes, it's strange actually. I double checked my server time, vbulletin time (ACP) and usercp's time zone. Everything is on its right place and members from different parts of the world are complaining about the same problem.

Sure, you may take your time. :)

Did a complete redesign of my shout box so far :) ever since I started changing the html to making it fully XHTML 1.0 Transitional here is what I have so far and hopefully this will become a new look to it also. All the inputs such as bbcode, smiley's and help are fully functional via admincp options where they can be turned on or off..

Attachment 65082

would be nice to see a few options on what you can control on the bbcode such as options to shut off font size or even shut of another color

That's nice man :)

For the size, yes I'll made something to allow to choose the max size and also a finer selection of which basic bbcode can be used.


I was thinking of how I would show the whosonline in the chatbox. What do you think of a new button above the others which would open kind of a whosonline channel ?

Sounds like a great idea. Would love to see something like that.

Thanks man yeah I was messing with it for awhile also as for that tbody we were talking about that may have to be wrapped in a <if> this way it will pass cause its the only one i wasn't able to get so far without trying a <if> cause of the way it is. But I was thinking it should have been wrapped cause the tbody below it is wrapped in one. So maybe have it where it can be turned on or off that way this way it all uses the tbody and you can just do a <else />.

What kinda button you thinking of for the whos online? a javascript popup? or have it just show how many are using it with out there names?

I don't understand exactly what you mean. This part is not in the if above cause it fakes the collapse system.

The other <if> is used to show the collapsed chatbox (a set number of post is shown) or the expanded one (where you can chat) depending of the state you left it last time.

No not a popup, this would be a button like the one that apper when you set on the /team command.

When user clicks on the button, it then shows in the chatbox the user online instead of the chat and the number of user online in the chatbox.

Ill send you a pm this way you see what code I mean rather then posting it all on here. also Ill send you the text of the edits I have done its a nice size list lol.

As for the the button that would be a nice feature but would it add more queries or slow things down?

The thing would be like that :

1. the user is in the normal channel
2. it clicks on the button to see whosonline in the chatbox
3. his request is managed through ajax and the refresh is disable
4. once the request has been managed by ajax, the whosonline is shown (1 query only when user clicks on the whosonline button to retrieve the list of online users)

So that's not a big one I think :)

ahh that would be pretty nice. yeah last night before I called it quits at looking at html code I made it so it was on my vbadvanced page just have to fix a few things cause of the way vbadvanced is coded now but should have that done today.

VBDev,

Would like to start out with saying great job!

I would like to know if this can be intergraded with vbAdvanced CMPS and the PhotPost Gallery? If so, how would I go about doing it.

Thank you in advance!

For the vbadvanced part it is planned that I do it.

About photopost gallery, as I am planning to make it possible to show on every page, this might help you figure that part :)

Thank you I'll keep and eye out for the next version!

hi, how can i open the smilies in the usual smilie popup instead of the collapsable solution?

right now you cant unless you edit the code yourself I think for the next version you maybe able to.

Vbdev, have you found a solution for the date error? :)

Installed. But....

This shoutbox has some great features, but the features I'm looking for don't seem to be possible? A code hack or future version maybe? This is my wish list:

- Allow the input field to be below the chat window, not at the top.

- Allow the order of the chats to be changed. I need to have the most recent chat at the bottom and the oldest at the top.

I hope this is possible.

Toggle of the time/date stamp's would be useful too... There just doesn't seem to be a chatbox that can do everything I need :(


-snake

Those suggestions have been requested several times, and if you look at vBDev's 'ToDo' list in the first post you will see they are planned for future versions. :)

moving the input field to be below the chat window is not hard at all if you look at the html code you will see it is very easy to move and have done it on my own already :) take a look at my post and you will see https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=135

Thanks. Yours looks great, that's exactly what I want to do. I'm no coder, but will take a look at the .html myself and see if I can figure it out.

Now if only I could get the shouts to order the opposite way they are being displayed now..

ie Most recent shout at the bottom... Anyone got that right yet?

-snake

no I haven't changed that on mine cause I want the newest on top cause if not then they will have to scroll down to see the newest one.

Well, the way we normally read is from the top-down, not from the bottom upward.

Think about it: If you were writing a story, one sentence per hour. Where would you expect to find the most recent sentence of your story? At the bottom of the most recent page obviously... :)

People like to read the shoutbox from the top-down, and now I'm being inundated with requests to change it...

Maybe VBDev can help - ?

-snake

yeah I would never use it that way to be honest maybe he will include a option in his next update but dont expect it to happen overnight.

Yep this is on the next version todo list :)

No sorry, I was with my girlfriend yesterday and today so I'll check that tonight

For the first two this is planned, the last one is strange, why don't you want to use the timestamp used everywhere else on the board ?

I have started working on the new version, there is lots of things on the todo list, tell you user It will come soon (1 or 2 weeks max.).

I unfortunately doesn't code vbulletin all the day ;)

Very unfortunate ;)

Can you please PM me once your done the updates on your todo list :) Thank you.

P.S - I have voted for you, on the HOTM ;)

I'll send a version update notification through the vborg Send Update function once it'll be ok.

I'll update regularly the TODO list with the state of actual work :)

Thx for the vote ;)
