Can anyone help me understand why something like this doesn't have the ability to be coded for a forum sidebar block?

I don't think there's any reason why it couldn't. Valter just either doesn't have the time or inclination to do so.

I don't know about that. Seems like if it were simple to do, it would be a feature that these types of chat solutions offered as an option in Admincp.

Would it be possible to ad the option to sort by most used word?
For no reason apart from humor.
My site has well over 100k shouts and the more stats i can pull the better.

Has anyone else had an issue with their forum being hacked while using this mod? My forum has been hacked and defaced twice in two weeks and the hackers claimed the chatbox was how they got in. I've since deleted it and have had no further issues, but I miss having a chatbox. Just wondering if there was a known security issue.

Thanks in advance for your help!

oh sweet jesus.. :( i guess i better disable mine then until there's a fix for it. >_<. I hate it, this is like the second plugin that's been having hacking issues.. It sux though, because I like this chat and the advanced forum rules plugins / mods... :(

Yours is the first report of a possible problem. Are you sure you were running the latest version?

Odd the hackers would be so nice as to tell you how they were getting in so you could lock them out. That's not normal.

I kept seeing "guests" in my chat when they had no perms to get there. I checked it and they got smilies. But I was getting a lot of db errors on 4.1.9 and saw your post, so I uninstalled and installed the MGC Chatbox Evo and it's working.

I'd rather not take a chance with hackers. Too scary for me.

@FreakyG'sMom - I have been using over 2 years no problem found till now no hacking off course. Check How to Secure my Forum

I don't think any hacker will tell u easily how did he hacked :p

This is a different subject - seeing guests in chat when they don't have permission is probably a settings issue, not an intrusion. I have no idea what you mean "they got smilies".

I can think of lots worse things to be afraid of than hackers. Like driving. Or walking on a public street. But assuming you're doing your due diligence as an admin and have automated current backups the worst that can happen from hackers is some downtime.

I have been running this mod for years now.
Must admit my forum would be lost without it.
I am quite concerned about this as i imagine others are.
It appears there is only one confirmed hacked forum thus far.
Oh how i hope this is an isolated incident :(
Will be watching this thread very closely.

I just installed this, and I cant figure out how to get rid of the "new" message that appears beside the messages. When do they stop being new? Can I mark them as read?

Thanks RedPoint & this is nice chatbox , Valter. It works very well with 4.19

Q: My chatbox recently start getting stuck on the FORUMHOME page (on the loading screen). Nothing ever appears except the word loading. If you click on Chatbox Full and load it that way, you are able to see the msgs and chat like normal. When you go back to the FORUMHOME page, it then loads and functions like normal. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if this is something that has been addressed previously.

It has. See my post here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1752

Please post back if you find a solution.

thanks great module valter

http://www.forums.worldset.net/threa...=4289#post4289
i want chat box in this post
is there any way to 5 certain post have 5 seperate chat box??i mean each chat box for one ceratin usergroups??
if no way for do such things can some one interduce me another mod??

Well, after trying just about everything that I could think of, I finally ended up simply uninstalling and re-installing completely. This seems to have fixed whatever was wrong with it and now everything is functioning properly. The only bad thing is, is that I lost all of the archive. But other than that, at least it's working again. We've been using this mod for over a year now with no problems so I can only assume (since there have been no recent changes on my end) that the upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.1.9 somehow did something. Oh well, all's well that ends well I guess.

Happy New Years All!

**After a little messing with it, I discovered that after closing the browsers and reopening the forum, I am still getting stuck on the loading message. Once I view any forum post and go back to FORUMHOME, then it is functioning. Argh...anything??

**Update - Someone helped me find the problem that was causing this mod and another not to work. There was a line in the Add Ignore User To Postbit Dropdown mod that was conflicting in here. So I don't know if this will help anyone else or not, but what was removed here was the line

Hope this information is helpful to someone else.

my members keep saying the txt is not alligned when your message is sent

iwant to hace chat box seperate on one page? how is it possible

Where are the smilies being pulled from? I want to add some but can't figure it out.

Been searching for a solution all afternoon, finally decided to post..

I'm running VB 4.1.8, and everything works so far except that the chat box appears either on all forums or none of them. I tried restricting it to just one forum, but when I do that it disapears altogether. Also tried playing with which forums the channel could be on, but that didn't help either.

Is there a compatability bug with this version of VB, or am I missing something else? :(

I have vb 4.1.8 and doesn't seem to work. Takes forever once you type something for it to show. Any ideas?

PS: I had wrong user groups posted, lol.

Where do you load up the option icons to?

I would like a way to export or save/backup the chatbox archive to a file .. Is this possible?? :)

I'm having a problem getting the chat box to appear in the correct forums. The goal is to have the chat box appear in one particular forum using a specific channel, possibly adding more channels to other forums in the future.

Position of the chatbox on the forum home (forumhome) Do not Display
Position of the chatbox in the forums (forumdisplay) Above the threads
Ids of the forums in which the chatbox shall be displayed 6

If I leave the third one blank, the chat box appears in ALL of the forums. If I specify one forum (6 in this case), it doesn't appear in any of them. Am I specifying the forum ID incorrectly, or possibly missing something else?

How can I just set this to premium users?

I think I figured it out. Thanks JJ.

i got the strange behavour, that only firefox users experience enourmous loading times in chatbox and VSA Advanced forum statistics..

My webserver runs on with:
- Debian LAMP
- 16 GB RAM
- Quadcore i7 (3.45 GHZ)
- vbulletin 4.1.8

Serverloads are like instant 0.01 0.01 0.01, so i guess it's a AJAX / FF issue..
I really do not know where to start - any suggestions?

Thankyou

I loaded up the icons and only the smiles work. Anyone got any ideas.

This is another forum I have. Version is 4.1.5

@IGOTASTi

You can set the time between refreshes in the options.
That could be it or else your server could be slow.
I personally have a US hosted site and im in Australia. Always get lag on the damn thing.

Trust me I have no lag, lol. The one forum I have is 4.1.8 and no issues as the icons all appear. My other forum is 4.1.5 and the icons don't appear. Just the smiles do. Strange. I unloaded and reloaded them all over again and same thing, lol.

Hello,

I've a problem with this addon. This problem is only "active" when a moderator is logged in. Admins and normal (guests too) don't have this problem. The problem is, it destroys the style, the logo_gfx. Also the layout itself is displayed multiple times inside the chatbox.

I'm using vBulletin Suite v4.1.9.

Please take a look on the attached screenshot.

Settings:
Show ChatBox on pages (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations) = index
Show ChatBox in templates (comma separated template names) = FORUMHOME
Position on page (Disable if you add ChatBox manually in templates) = Below Forums

Set permissions:
Usergroups able to view ChatBox but not post messages = 3,4
Usergroups NOT able to view ChatBox (comma separated ID list) = 1,8
Groups able to moderate ChatBox (comma separated usergroup IDs) = 5,6,7
Usergroups NOT able to edit messages (Banned automatically excluded) = 1,3,4,8

Note: I've the same problem with the "VSa - Advanced Forum Statistics v7.0.3" addon.

I still can't get the icons to work. They are loaded right. Any ideas?

are they in the correct folder
statusicon/post_old.gif
statusicon/post_new.gif
or if it's looking for them in a custom style you need to add them to that statusicon
folder
use IE and right click on the missing image and look at the path..

How can I change the color of the username of admin and mod users in the chat? I want it colored!!!
