Yes this would be a one click XML install.

I would directly include commands in files & database thus avoiding install of commands upon each command modifications when a new release of the chatbox is out.

The chatbox wouldn't lost any of it's functionnalities.

Ranger187 06-29-2008 11:09 PM

Ok. You are not making sense now. If it's going to be a 1 click install, and not lose any functionality why ask which type to goto? As in option 1 or option 2. Based on your reply, that isn't the case.

My thoughts...

When upgrades happen, you still will need to re-upload the files, images and XML. So I don't see how much changes. Just less needed user wise to "install" the plugin.

I use the /me command. Hardly any of the others. Are the commands causing the issue from going to a 1 click install? If so, add that as an "addon" then ;) So the base install has all minus the commands. If they want commands they add it.

Skyrider 06-29-2008 11:17 PM

I've d/led the files and uploaded all the files.. It still shows the [email] tags.

Ranger187 06-29-2008 11:24 PM

Because you didn't enable it turd. ;)

PM me a link to ur forum. I'll take a look. If you want, supply an account to check the MGC chat settings.... I'm positive it's user config.

Why thank you! :D

Ranger187 06-30-2008 12:00 AM

;)

Ur welcome. Wheee.

Disclaimer: Might be me.. Tired! ; )

Entering no message in the chat field results in a message telling me I must enter a chat. That's a good thing however, the screen area dims and I must hit F5 to get back. Same thing happens when I attempt to Private chat however, I can't seem to get it to do anything but tell me the user doesn't exist.

Any starting places I can look for the issue?

Update: 2 of 5 template exhibit the issue of dimming and needing refreshed so it's my problem but I could really use a tip to keep these two templates in place... (I can recreate the problem by inserting an image)

Fireproof 06-30-2008 01:26 AM

Installed...again. :D

verino 06-30-2008 02:13 AM

One thing for uploading confused me :

- in the 0.5.0 version, the "Files/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/css there's one file : images.rar.

Should i extract this and upload the extraction files to : forumroot/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/css/images or : forumroot/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/css ?

Thank's

Fireproof 06-30-2008 02:35 AM

What do you guys set the refresh time delay to?

Yes but in your case you don't need lots of commands but it's not the same for others.

In option 2, this would be a one click install as the commands creation system would disappear

The only thing that would be lost is the possibility to create commands but no-one has released commands so far so I think it's not a needed feature.

You meant you had modified templates of the chatbox and didn't reverted them after upgrading ?

If yes then it's on your hand guy, you must always revert templates upon any update.

Remove that file, it's an error it's not needed at all.

POP UPs still doesn't work in Opera 9.5 :( (Main page pop ups i mean. Archive pop ups work fine. So i wonder that this is not a Browser issue)

VBDev 06-30-2008 10:43 AM

What do you mean by popups doesn't work ?

Can you show me a screenshot of the issue plz ?

pedroenf 06-30-2008 11:58 AM

The pop up with the command option: ban, del, etc.

VBDev 06-30-2008 01:36 PM

You mean the menu ?

I have tested the chatbox in opera and it was working well I could see the menu.

Did you install commands ? Coz if you don't then you won't see any options in the menu.

maidos 06-30-2008 02:26 PM

seems the team icon doesnt appear. i have uploaded it to the server

cbt13 06-30-2008 03:27 PM

I added "$mgc_chatbox" in "navbar", added in "footer" added in "header" but It only shows chatbox in "forumhome". How can I show chatbox in ALL pages?? Please help.

****

P.S: Sorry. I didnt do the "settings".. It works now. Thanks.

Oops.. No, I'm sorry - I didn't mean to imply I edited the chatbox at all. I use 5 or 6 custom templates and the updated version works well in most cases but I've found that there are things that I can do to cause the style to 'dim' and not return without me hitting refresh (F5).
BBCode and then attempting to insert an image is one such action.

Is there a style sheet option that might be interfering? I reinstalled the chatbox after the update to 3.7.2 and it's still performing as before...

Any help GREATLY appreciated.

Have you set usergroup permissions and so on correctly.

I have fixed and tested the channel not appearing bug in this version.

Leave it to me to screw that up too!

I have 6 templates for the site users can select from. The chat works well in all 6.
When I select the BBCode option, the menu inserts and I can insert email links etc.. and all is well on 4 of the six styles.

In two of the styles - the option "Enter the image URL" comes up on a dimmed screen and I enter the URL and click GO.. the screen remains dim.

That help?

VBDev 06-30-2008 05:05 PM

I don't know the word dimmed, what does it mean ? Can you make a screenshot and post it here please ?

I can get a screen shot but it's the same function as when you log off of vBulletin: The background screens colors fade/dim. That useful? (My primary screens are black so it's not real pretty in a screen shot)

This has to be within a style sheet somewhere doesn't it?


More Info: I think the word is Opacity and it's called for via a javascript function I think. The two templates/style in question are in the /images/ folder whereas the others are located a level up so the path to them is different.

Does that help any at all? Thanks again for your patience...

maidos 06-30-2008 05:20 PM

well i see the xcross staff channel, its only the images that doesnt appear

misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/mgc_cb_evo_team_nosel.gif_nosel.gif

About that feature, I could do so that you can open a popup where username are suggested upon typing ?

Yes that would be a great feature VBDev, could it show all usernames of the Forum?

Before and during - Note the background opacity: I click GO after pasting in the url and it remains as shown in during. (Of course the "Enter The Image URL" box disappears as it should)

How 'bout now?

But I do not see what the difference is with the new version.
Perhaps the way I use MGC is basic. Or perhaps the differences are in the code not the user level?
If I have to completely install again I need to know the reason.
Please do not think I am being rude or that I do not appreciate your hard work. It's a WONDERFUL piece of coding. The installation was excellently guided.
I just don't understand.


Separately ----
It is necessary for this mod to work well to see who is online before I know I can talk to them.
On forumhome this is not a problem. I copied the who's online code which is normally at the bottom, to the top. See screenshot.
This means user can see who is logged in.
User can then say hello and start chatting.
This is a HUGE part of why MGC works well. Without seeing who is logged in to the forums it is not possible to say hello except --- hello world - is anyone there? --- not satisfactory!
So the who's online (for forums) is very important to make MGC perfect.

But putting who's online (for the forums) on other pages is a big headache. I don't understand the construction of the other forum pages. There are bits on different templates that work together as a team - too complicated for me.
However MGC understands this clever stuff because in admincp you give me excellent simple options to put MGC on the other pages.
Can you tell me how to do this for the who's online code (for forums) --- it doesn't work to just copy the who's online code from forumhome. Must be php in header? or something that works OK in navbar but not in other places.

There is a whoisonline feature in the chatbox. You just have to activate it.

But when user first arrives before logging in it looks awful!
Because MGC is not there to fill the space next to the side collumn, the side column spreads all across the page - even though I set it to 110pixels.

This is not a tragedy as both my vbulletins are for members only. But it does not look elegant when user arrives.
What can I do to either
1) place an empty table there instead of MGC if MGC is not visible? - so MGC fils the space but does not display as a chat?
Maybe a notice: --- Forum Chatbox (you will see this service appear when you log in as a member) ---
OR
2) make the guest forums fill the MGC space if MGC does not display?

I am sorry but I don't see the problem with the chatbox. Am I wrong ?

There was I think an error in the uninstall code. Edit the product install code and check that there are no $vbulletin->$db in the code but $vbulletin->db instead.

The time displays beside each line of chat is showing wrong. When it displays 09.00 it is really 9pm /21.00. When it shows pm it's really am.
In my screenshot just above the times showing 2.53 and 4.18 were not in the night but in the afternoon.
Not huge problem but maybe can fix?

There was a problem with time but only in the first version of the mgc chatbox evo. Now there shouldn't be such problem, are you sure there is no server problem ?

maidos 06-30-2008 07:35 PM

the mgc channel is mgc_cb_evo_team_nosel.gif

on admincp

but when i view the main forum i still get the red cross no image displayed and when i right click the xcross i get misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/mgc_cb_evo_team_nosel.gif_nosel.gif

VBDev 06-30-2008 07:41 PM

In the admin you don't have to put the _nosel.gif it's stated in the instructions :)

maidos 06-30-2008 07:46 PM

well i removed that nosel_gif but still doesnt give me the team icon picture :(

on chatbox forum it still gives me forum/shine/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/mgc_cb_evo_team__nosel.gif

VBDev 06-30-2008 07:47 PM

Please open your eyes, don't you see there is a _ which shall not be there ??

I told you to remove "_nosel.gif" not to remove only "nosel.gi" !

I am using a jquery addon so honestly I am not much of help on this one :(

maidos 06-30-2008 07:49 PM

i did remove the _nosel... its just that when i wrote i didnt include that _nosel.gif
Hm nvm i will try to figure myself on my own thanks anyway for u support =)

Skyrider 06-30-2008 08:07 PM

I think there is a problem within the ban commands VBDev. When I selected the group "Special registration Group" to have ban access, they seem to have 1/2 the access. /ban show and other ban related commands seems to be not working at all for them. They can ban, but unban would be a problem for them. Could you look in to this?

If the showban function works then the unban function should work too, the permission is handled exactly in the same way.

What makes you think it doesn't work correctly ?

Ranger187 06-30-2008 08:51 PM

VB, the one click install, will it keep the /me /ban commands? If it keeps the existing commands and doesn't allow the creation of new, I see no issues.

VBDev 06-30-2008 08:53 PM

Yes It would. However, the more I think at it the more I think it would be a massive load of work to go backward...

For the moment I think that I will certainly stay as is :)

And will do it once I have time for it he he !

Yes i did install it correctly. Works on FF and IE, and in Opera the menus work in the archive page of the chatbox.
