You have also correctly set the usergroup permissions ?

Whouldn't that be an idea for the next version? :)

The latest. 3.6.8.

No I won't put anything for that in the acp.

However I could add an option which contain userid of users that can't be banned

Then it should work, have you tried downloading the zip file here again and following carefully all the steps ? I don't see why it wouldn't work for you and work for everyone else.

thanks

but the load of server increas to 18

when i disable the hack the load decreas to 2.5

plz help

note : this problem occur after upgrade the hack to 1.5

How do you measure the server load ?

Someone also reported me about a similar increase but I haven't change anything that would have done that.

Have you experienced such increase with the 1.4 version ?

no when i install 1.4 the load is 1 to 2

but with 1.5 the load reach up to 20


i can return to 1.4

but i cant ban arabic name with it :(:(:(:(

You didn't answered to my question about the server load.

How do you measure it ?

And what does those loads number represent exactly ?

where are these channel options you speak of?

In my Control panel for MGC I only have the options of:

general options
display and position
shouts formatting
shouts display
advanced options

and I don't see anything about whosonline...

also, how do I get the chatbox to show up when users click the "New Post" button? or go to search??

thanks.

This is not working for me if i have it below forum the shoutbox is there above forums it is not there

and either side of my navbar i have MGC chatbox in text

works fine in default skin

hi

when i disable the hack the load become 1 or below

if i enable the hack the load become 20


look at this

Top Process %CPU 27.5 httpd [baghdad4ever.net] [/vb/mgc_chatbox.php]:confused::confused::confused:

Don't enable the chatbox for forumdisplay and showthread pages.

It might've been a failed download.. been getting those a lot from here..
Oh, well. I found a different chat room now,

This is in the usergroup permissions, you must set "Can view who's online" to yes for the desired usergroups :)

This is a skin issue, there is a little howto for that in the chatbox readme, have a look at it :)

Yes that might lower it, baghdad4ever, do you have it enable on all pages ?

Ok ok as you want. Enjoy the other chat room :)

yes ofcourse

i disable this options already...

plz how i fix that

bec i disable the whole hack now until i fix the problem

Could you give me the options you have activated for the chatbox ? Cuz some of them might use more cpu than others.

Hey VBDev

I seem to be having problems with the installation for the Shoutbox, I'm trying to install version v1.4 onto a VBulletin 3.6.8 and seem to be having a few issues with it.

Here's my post on another section of the forum for you to think about

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=158016

Any suggestions?

I have the refreshing problem still. It never stops refreashing. It works on a default style though.

EDIT: Fixed. Nice hack!

Cheers vbdev my bad not reading till the bottom installed working fine so far :up:

Hi Guys, Im still having issues with my chat being to wide. It does not fit properly on my forum home page. I am running legacy and have side bars on the left side. I believe if i turn of the side bars, everything fits on a page again without having to scroll all the way to the right to view all of the chat. Is there any way in the program to make the chat narrower? my home forum is www.socalireefs.com/forums you can not view the chat without registering. Any clue on how I can let guest view the chat also. Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks -M

By looking at all your messages, I think you haven't imported both product through the vbulletin product manager of the acp. (the product from the p folder)

Hi,

Have you tried disabling some of the chatbox's bbcode and also the width of the chat input (both are in options) so that the chatbox get less wide ?

Thanks heaps man! I got it to work but I'm actually curious whenever I tried to type the command like /me for example it does not show the username as whatever /me command does but I do get an error message that pops up saying...

"Error: Command Syntax is incorrect"

Any suggestions to sort that out?

Are you sure of the syntax for the /me command you have used ?

Check the help button in the chatbox it gives information on the different commands.

Is anyone else having issues with the pm in the chatbox? It was working great in version 1.4, but now since upgrade I get a message "User does not exist" I also did a fresh install on another board and get the same error.

Please advise.

Becareful, the command syntax has changed and there was also a small error in the mgc_chatbox.js file which has been corrected since.

I do have the " can view who's online" in the general options and "can see who is online in the chatbox" in the chatbox options of the usergroups set to YES. where is this info supposed to be displayed?

You have to click on the button on the left of the chatbox (the one with a plug).

IS there a way to move the shoutbox under the statistics insstead of under the forums?

Where my forum ends the shoutbox will show and then the statistics,who's on line and other mods I have installed.

Thanks

have a look at the end of the readme file .......



VBDev :D how is V2 going on??

Thanks that works. I guess I misunderstand that part.

Thanks much!

Man, I know no longer what to do.

I have this thing running at minimum capacity in terms of server load right now, and yet I get a CPU overload shut out page. Its not just this host. All to date have complained about how much CPU Resources take up due to the chatbox ajax.

Is this something that can be confidently used on medium sized forums? Then again, I wouldnt call my forum "medium" sized but it does have several thousand members, and at peak times can get 50-100 members and guests on at a time. Guests cant even view the shoutbox as it is so that wouldnt even matter... I'm beginning to feel that with a larger forum this chatbox may not be compatible.

Hmm... did the spanish phrases had a problem? I think they haven't been updated. :eek:

You know, I just figured it out... i'm supposed to see a color change in the date of each message done in the chatbox, but I can't see it, i have the css classes, but it's not working.

Any ideas? :p
thanks

Hi there this is one of the best chat box mods out there so congrats on that! I really like this except for the fact that I cant figure out how to move it from where its placed. I currently have the Advanced Welcome Box mod on my forums and I would like for the chat box to appear below if does anyone know how I may achieve this? See the attached image for a visual of where I would like it to me.

Thank You,
REDTAZ

Make sure you upload all your xml files and you will see MGC Chatbox and its under display and position

It seems that it depends of the server configuration coz user with big boards haven't experienced such problems while few of you have.

What refresh rate have you put for the chatbox ?

Have you activated team message warning system and inactive mode ?

No spanish phrases are up to date (unless I forgot to put the uptodate version :D).

Regarding the color, there is not change between two dates, it's the same color for all the date in the chatbox.

Did you put the css thing in the right place ?

To do so, you have to follow the howto at the end of the readme file (about style issue).

This is not really a style issue but as both modifications are using replacements to appear after the navbar, the first called will be the first under the navbar. And as you can't manage the order of the plugin calls you have no way of choosing which one will be the first.

So the only thing to is following the little howto to put it under the navbar in your forumhome template :)

AHA!, I hada similar color in my text, that's why i didn't see the color change. :D

Hmm... about the spanish phrases, I said so, because your first post says they need to be updated to 1.5 :eek:
Thanks!

Can I just add my name to the others that have requested a sound alert when a new message is posted. This is a feature that several of my members have asked about (We had it in a previous 'chat' feature and they loved it)

Anyway, I'd love to see it implemented.

Do NOT use this mod. Does not work at all, frequent problems, javascript is sloppily coded and will not render at all.

Tested on vB 3.6.8

Might want to ask VBDev for support maybe its a problem on your forums because I'm currently running vBulletin 3.6.8 and its working smoothly with no problems at all for me.
