thanks! really appreciate it!

Is there any way to allow users to set or keep a default font and/or colour for the chatbox? they're complaining that they have to set the font and colour each time they submit a message.

Thanks

In the user cp under edit options and scroll to the bottom of the page of edit options.

Can you try the following product update ?

I have not tested it but it should fix the bug.

Please once installed test that the chatbox display in forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread still works and doesn't fire any error. And also test the chatbox display on all pages.

If that fixes it I will release it officially.

forum seems to be good now except this announcement but the rest still bugged with this error testet in Mozilla Firefox 3 and IE 7

With this product you still have the errors ??

You shouldn't have any of those errors anymore.

Have you select the chatbox to be displayed on all the pages ? If yes then I think you might have a customized chatbox template that you need to revert.

yes with the new product

no its just displayed above the forum and on the main CMS like a module
does that mean i have displayed it on all pages ?? i dont have the option to revert anything if u mean that!

Greetings.

There is an "unclosed" Code in the german Version of mgc_cb_evo_cmd_del.xml.

Here is the fixed one.

I dunno, can you send me a login and test account to your forum plz so that I can have a look.

Thanks for noticing that ! I will update the zip file as soon as I can with that.

installed :) thanks.


so its in my admincp and set to Yes to activate but not showing up on my forum. what am I doing wrong?


1/ Upload the files from the "Files" directory in your forum root
2/ Upload the content of the "Images" directory in each of your forum styles directories
3/ Import the MGC Chatbox Evo product
4/ Go in your admincp, in the Language manager > Download/Upload language file and then :
- Select the language file from the "Lang" directory
- Select the forum language to overwrite
- Set the ignore language verison to Yes
- Launch upload


I didnt see a launch upload anywhere?


also, do I need to install commands?

Thank you very much! :)

You have to set usergroups permissions.

This is not a "Launch upload" button of any sort. It's an import language button I think.

Depends of your chatbox usage needs :)

k got it thanks

ok.


as long as its not required, I'll worry about it later :)

is there a "how to" or some examples of channels & commands?
i would like to create a channel for discussing an event between some (selected) members
can someone please help me out?

how can I (as an admin only) clear the chat box?

pm on the way
thx ;)

Hello I have an important suggestion. Some of my users don't refresh the page and stay on the shout box. The appear offline, but they are in the shout box chatting. It would be nice, if those users not refreshing the main index page, but refreshing the shout box page would show up on line. I though it was a bug, but vbulletin told me it was an issue on your side

Anyone can help, to understand what is the difference b/w flashchat, MGC chat box, Cyb Chat box and AddonChat(Free version) ?

I think I know what you mean. I'll be in the chat... But tabbed (meaning more then 1 browswer tab) and on another site. I'll click back to the tab and I'm not listed. It's more an ajax thing??? (VBdev?) or something else. It's also more a feature then a necessity. Yes, it's nice to know who's in it, but who sits there waiting for a s/n to come on to post.

Google ;)

Flashchat uses ajax (I think) and java and flash. It intergrates into forum, it's not officially part of it.

CybChat is good, but lacks features (and no, I'm not saying cuz of mgc)

Addon chat? Never heard of..

MGC - Total intergration into forum.

My advice: Test them all, or find sites that use them. Prior to testing on YOUR forums, backup the forum db..... Always a good practice. Then decide which you and your users like. I've been using the chats for a few years and my personal choice is MGC due to support, updates, and just how it works.

If you would like help installing this on your site, send me a pm. I've helped numerous people get it going.

can i see a demo?

Crap, he still doesn't have screen shots... Let me take one of my forum... Gimme 1 minute.

Here you go....

All chats look identical if you ask me...

gotta register though :D:D:D

Lol@thanks!

Just a suggestion, though...
Is there a way to limit the consecutive messages a member/chatter could post? Like he/she can only send messages up to 4 times then he/she to have a respond from other members before he/she can continue?

I love this hack and my members do it too... but the thing is, they post consecutively which is like flooding.

did what this question to get lost :)

you have to add on a the del command. Once you have that installed you can type /del all and it will clear the chat box.

Chat is replying. ie: like consecutive typing. Would you rather less activity, or some crappy moderated something box?

IRC = Consecutive
AIM/Yahoo etc = Consecutive
FlashChat = Consecutive
MGC Chat = Consecutive


ETC ETC ETC. I disagree with your idea 100%. You don't want a chat box, you want a nazi run 1 liner. That's just my thoughts.

excellent, thank you

@VBDev

Forget the Opera9.5 issue. My mistake (or not), just uninstalled a re-installed and every menu are working fine.

But i have another issue with it. Even tried to install the old versions of the chatbox but none solved the issue. Only the chatbox deactivation solved it. The issue is with the (general) PM pop-up, and in IE shows the yellow warning triangule (see attach). When a PM is received the pop-up doesn't show. Any idea?

Edit: It only happens when receveing PM in IE. Opera and FF no prob, the pop-up shows.

There is timeout for the user to be considered outside of the box

There are screenshots in the second post of the thread. There are not totally up-to-date but still pretty near.

Not very eager for that functionnality... Like ranger187.

The PM popup has been totally rewritten in the new chatbox version so I don't see the problem.

Bitwise I don't speak spanish so I can't undesrtand your screenshot ^

Installed, and set the forum to active but i do not see the chatbox anyware?

Any ideas?

USERGROUPS.... enable ;) for the 1000th time. ;)

Which version because I am having the pop up not displaying issue as well. I am running the 0.5.0 version and don't get the pm pop up?

I'm having the loading... issue as well.

I un-installed/deleted all products and re-uploaded and installed from scratch.
vBulletin 3.6.8 Patch Level 2, dedicated server (very healthy)

What do you need from me to have a look at this? :)

Read the readme. Says to add the security token....

The problem is that in IE you don't get the Private Message pop-up and get that error that i show you in the attach. As i said before only happens in IE.

Please don't "insult" Portuguese people :cool:
I'll translate what says in the IE warning for you:
Line: 863
CARACT:2
Error: The object does not supports this property or method
Code: 0
URL: www.g6-team.com/index.php

See!? Wasn't so hard! Didn't even used a translator :D

Oh and Opera issue still remains! Unfortunately! But in strange way. I mean, the menus work but when the amount of shouts are so that the scroll bar is seen they stop working right. My trick: click the button, scroll down or up the chatbox and then the menu is working right (hope you understand me).

I tried uninstalling the product and now my forums wont load. PLEASE HELP.

all I did was remove the files from each directory (from the "Files" folder). I went to the admin page to uninstall the xml and I get a blank page.

(please note I'm only uninstalling this because I dont feel a chat box is right for my forum, the product itself worked just fine)

please help, I'm freakin out :(

You must carefully follow these steps if you don't want to screw up your forum when uninstalling the chatbox.

1/ Uninstall all the commands you had installed on the forum
2/ Remove the chatbox files from your forum directories
3/ Uninstall the MGC Chatbox Evo product
4/ You're done with the uninstall


I went straight to step 2 because I had no commands installed.

In my opinion you must first uninstall the Plug-In and then delete the files.

I was able to add the files back and my forum is now working. but WTF. what are the correct steps to uninstall? :confused:
