Are you using the chatbox in newest at the top or oldest at the top ?

Please explain me in which mode you're using it otherwise I won't be of any help lol

Of course...I do not have the chat box on any of my forum pages...I just have a link to the Chatbox on my navbar and it opens its own page.

One other thing...the smilies add a nice touch, but for those who have a lot of smilies, the way you have it implemented, really isn't user friendly. If you want to display your board's smilies and have a lot...then they take up a lot of space when opened through the chat box. You may want to implement a feature like the smilie category hack that opens a separate window when the chat box smiley face is clicked...then let the user select the smiley from within categories. Just a thought...but a good one.

Here, I typed 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 in that order in my shout box. the first image is when I scroll all the way down. The second is when it auto refreshes... You can see it is now missing shouts 6 and 7 (and someone else's shout that they got in there before I got the screen shot taken) I hope this is clearer for you.
Thanks!

Is there anyway to have a log of moderator actions in the shoutbox.
I just had a situation with someone editing other peoples shouts and pruning the shoutbox.
I've allowed mods and assistant admins manage shoutbox permissions. But either someone got drunk or maybe someone logged into their account, but in any case I'd like to find out who did those actions, as I don't think they'll come clean.

Hi

I would like to move the chat from the buttom of my forum-home-page to the right side of it (vertical, not horizontal). Like a "Banner"

Is this possible and if yes, how do I do this?

Maybe it's not called misc for that style, this could be the reason.

VBDev, thank you very much. That worked like a charm!

Problem sorted thanks for your help :up:

I still don't see the problem.

What I know is that as soon as you scroll, these kind of phenoma tends to appear.

As baby41 said to you, you have to upload the images n all your misc directory.

And perhaps activate the bbcode and smileys options if needed :)

Then when it auto refreshes you lose the bottom 3 or so lines, so you scroll back down to see them, then it auto refreshes and they go away... So every 10 seconds when it refreshes, you have to scroll back down to see the last 3 shouts. While the shouts still exist, I don't understand why it pops up 3 lines every time it refreshes.

I guess I'll just wait and see if the new version does it. If it does, I can try to explain what I'm talking about better :)

I'll be watching for the chance to beta test for you ;)

My Best Regards!! ;)

I didn't find it too funny when I was banned from the chatbox by an experimenting admin. Had to run some sql queries to get back in. :(

Sorry about the double post, but I thought it would be better to keep topics seperate.

Feature request:
My users have requested the ability to add/remove reputation based on chatbox entries.

Not sure how painful this would be to implement.

You should becareful when putting a such lower rate, this could grow your server load !

This is an issue already reported, I thought it was working well but it seems like it's not. I'll have to check that out but this won't be corrected until the release of the next version as you can imagine :)

To clarify - vbulletin has the reputation system built in where a user can add reputation to a user for a good forum post, or take rep away for a bad post - by clicking the scales icon on the top right of a post (Which is only visible if the reputation system is activated).

Anyway, when it comes to the chatbox, users would like to be able to utilize the rep system to give or take rep for comments posted in the chatbox.


Does that make sense?

Another issue: If you change the size of the input field, it causes the chatbox to be bigger than the width of the page, and users have to scroll sideways.
It would perhaps be better if the buttons to the side of the input field could wrap to the next line.

I followed the readme file, the shoutbox appeared on the home page but there are no options on it - only the 'go' button is there. Also, if I click the link 'MGC chatbox' thats next to a username in the shout box i get this route, example '/mp user "username" ' in the text box.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be great as i'd really like to implement this as it seems far superior to the shoutbox i currently use.

Thanks

Thank you for your help, got it working.

One thing i would like to suggest (not sure if its been said before) is that if users select a new font and colour it then stays as their default.

Can't wait for the new version now!

Thanks

Basically what you have to do is edit the chatbox plugin attached to the global hook.

In this hook, you'll find a global condition to check if the chatbox is active ($vboptions[mgc_chatbox] or kinda, I don't have the code beyond the eyes so don't remember the exact one).

Before the content in the condition, you have to add an sql query to count the messages since the last 24 hours (dynamic count):

The query is not tested so you should verify before that the postid and dateline fields are the good one in the post table (for the postid I am pretty sure but not for the dateline).

Then you have to put all the actual part of the condition in a second condition :
Where 10 is the number of posts per day you require before using the chatbox.

Of course this a homemade and hardcoded modification so you could also replace the 10 value by the one you want or even better, create a new option in the chatbox group (possible by activating the debug mode) to do just the same thing but giving easier access to modify it ;)

Feel free to ask for any help if you encounter problems ! And give me back the final code so that I could use it in the versions following the v2.0.



I suppose you have done the mandatory modification to the modifyoptions template so you just have to go in your usercp and then you'll see chatbox options for that purpose :)

Finally got some time to try and enable the posting rule. I got it to work and like you pointed out actually quite simple but the only thing I don't know or understand how to do is to enable a message in the shoutbox area (when disabled) telling the member why it is disabled "You can only use the shoutbox bla bla bla".

Should I add a phrase for that and call it from a new template?

Many Thanks

I made a username that you can use to login to see what it is doing.

The forum is located at username:tester1

I have seen some have been helped with this problem, but I did not see the fix has been posted.

Also the archive link, link buttons and chatbox navbar dropdown links (see att.):


Must not point to the correct page, as they open to a "cannot find" page.

I have been through all of my server side files multiple times, checked and rechecked templates, reloaded Js files, and reinstalled products - all to no avail.

vB v3.6.8
Chatbox v1.5

HELP!!
