vBShout v6.1.0 Alpha 4
Change: Now requires vBulletin Connect 5.0.2 to run
Change: Reduced memory usage by reworking the way the mod caches things to take advantage of vB5's built-in long-term cache storage
Change: Modules in the Site Builder are now grouped under the "DragonByte" category rather than the "Display" category
Fix: Modules in the Site Builder now once again have titles

Fillip

Works without issue in vBulletin 5.0.2

Thank You

The new version fixes issues with the UserCP and other assorted minor issues.

Fillip

Not a big issue but the latest update is resulting in the following preceding every post.

<!-- ##phrase_x_minutes_ago_0## -->

installed new version and still dont see it in site builder :-(

this works with 5.0.1?

if not then which one works for 5.0.1 ?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...itebuilder.png

You may be able to find an older version on our site, but we do not provide support for vB 5.0.1 as it is virtually impossible to support multiple versions with the changes made in vB 5.0.2.

Until vB5 stabilises, we will have to frequently drop support for older versions :(


Fillip

can u tell me which one would work out of 5 versions ..

i tried a3,a4 and a5 .. a3 crashed site and i had to reinstall site with new DB .. a4 and a5 prompt for vb 5.0.2 version when trying to execute product xml .. i am affraid to try a2 or a1 coz site might crash again ..and i dont want to start from scratch again .. please help, thanks.

EDiT : Tried all versions 5 versions available on ur site from a1 to a5 ..a4 and a5 has compatibility issues.. not working whatsoever .. i had to restore every single time after importing xml from product manager .. did any of these version worked with vb 5.0.1 or people who had 5.0.1 never had vbshout?

We have never tested this mod on vB 5.0.1, sorry. Why can't you upgrade to 5.0.2?

Fillip

I've decided to put a fresh install of 5.0.2 on my site as my previous upgrade was causing issues.

We ran the shout box on 5.0.1 with no real issue. Now however, with the new version of 5.0.2, there is a problem with new shouts.

When you post a message, the message remains in the left hand box once it has been shouted.. meaning you have to physically select it and delete it to write something new.

Bit frustrating. Is it possibly a config issue? or an actual bug?

Thank you :)

Jester

That will only happen if the Shoutbox thinks the shout didn't save correctly, i.e. there was some form of error reported with the submission. Is there a yellow bar when you submit a shout?

Fillip

Hi Fillip,

Nope, no yellow bar. It also seems to be very slow to post new shouts... maybe about 5-7 seconds before they show.

FYI, I'm on a dedicated server that is definately not overloaded.

I managed, with the help of a mate due to my limited coding ability, to find the problem.

First, check core.js - there appears to be a rogue textStatus instead of a statusText. This was causing the pause and the reason it wasn't generating a yellow error band.

Once that was change, we found a warning - there is a call to VB5_Template_BbCode in bbcode.php which generates 4 warnings at lines 370 to 373.

These were the errors:

They don't appear to be assign properly. We just commented them out and assigned all the variables to false and it fixed the problem on the chatbox - but, it's obviously a bodge fix and doesn't actually resolve it as a whole.

Something you can look at further?- You probably have a lot more experience with the code.

Anyhow - all working now. Can sometimes be a little tempremental and require a refresh.. but all in all, big thumbs up on an awesome shoutbox :)

The Notices are generated by vBulletin. I have reported this in their bug tracker a long time ago. Meanwhile, you can turn off report_all_php_errors in the presentation config.php file :)


Fillip

I didn't have any errors while installing the mod, but it just doesn't show on index.php

You need to use the Site Builder to drop the shoutbox module where you want it to go.

Fillip

No errors while installing the mod.

Works fine.

Disregard, it works now. It was a matter of permissions on usergroups.

I had problems using Chrome. I cleared the cookies and cache and it came back

How can i change de size and the line-height of the shoubox messages?

It´s possible to locate the textbox below the shoutbox? The actual left position it´s not so good..

Would anyone be able to download this for me?

These are both Pro-only features :)

Why can't you download it?

It's against vBulletin.org rules to provide unlicensed users with addons if they can't validate their licenses.


Fillip

Have an issue where half of the staff can use the shoutbox and the other half can't.
It can't be a permissions issue since one admin can post and the other can't.
One global moderator can post and the other can't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you isolate the differences between your two admins (other member groups or other differences)?

There's no "randomly fail for half a usergroup" code in the mod, haha.

Fillip

That's what has me baffled. Both of the administrators are superadministrators with every permission. Could it be an issue with their computers?

Where is the xml?

--

I find: ./packages/dbtechvbshout/xml/product_dbtechvbshout.xml

Very good, thanks!

No idea, they could try another browser I suppose.


Fillip

Any update with the text not clearing from the input text box? It is sort of a PITA always have to clear before typing again.

Thanks

With this mod installed I have the following issue:

On the Page of the User Settings (www.myurl.com/settings/) this message is shown:

"Invalid Page URL. If this is an error and the page should exist, please contact the system administrator and tell them how you got this message."

If I disable the Mod then the link still works.

Any ideas?

Thank for your help!

same problem here

I'm unable to replicate either of these issues. Please provide me with URLs and forum accounts so I can check them out in person.


Fillip

I sent you a PM with required info to enter my forum as admin.

Thanks

Can you update me if this get's resolved as I have had to disable the Shoutbox for now.

Thanks

I will Mark. I know Fillip hasn't logged on my forum yet so not sure if or wen he will look into it. But any new developments I will post here.

Got worst now in VB503

I get this error 500 then it disappears and a few seconds later the text appears.
It takes twice as long now for text to show up in the box and still have to clear the input box every time as well.
