- - Chat Modifications - Cyb - ChatBox (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177552)

i did an update on my forum from 2.0>2.2 but i see no difference?

Bug: About a week ago I reported that the chatbox shifted the page down & up by ~2 pixels in IE7 whenever the "refreshing messages" appeared. Several other people have confirmed this bug, but no fix has yet been posted. Well, I finally got annoyed and decided to debug it myself.

Solution: Currently, when the chatbox is about to update messages, it hides the "Refreshing Messages" text. The solution simply displays "Updating Messages" instead - you can change this to whatever text you want. I prefer to change the color of the "Refreshing Messages" instead of changing the text so I added that code to the hack. Unfortunately, the color change does not work in IE7 (so IE7 will get the text change and other browsers will get the color change) - you can change the colors to whatever you want or even remove the condition to check for non-IE browsers. So finally here's the 3-steps fix on how to squash the bug - the problem is in the Ccb_getMessages() and Ccb_updateMessages() functions in the chatbox template (surprise, surprise ....): Go to Style Manager > Edit Templates > Cybernetec Templates > cyb_chatbox, and
1. FIND:

PHP Code:


		
			
                ccb_Messages = new vB_AJAX_Handler(true);
                ccb_Messages.onreadystatechange(Ccb_updateMessages);
                ccb_Messages.send('misc.php?show=ccbmessages');
            }
        }

        function Ccb_updateMessages()
        {
            if (ccb_Messages)
            {

.
REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:


		
			
                if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') > -1)
                    fetch_object('cybcb_infoarea').innerHTML = ':: Updating Messages';
                else
                    fetch_object('cybcb_infoarea').style.color = 'aqua';
                ccb_Messages = new vB_AJAX_Handler(true);
                ccb_Messages.onreadystatechange(Ccb_updateMessages);
                ccb_Messages.send('misc.php?show=ccbmessages');
            }
        }

        function Ccb_updateMessages()
            {
            if (ccb_Messages)
            {
                fetch_object('cybcb_infoarea').innerHTML = ':: $vbphrase[cybcb_status_refreshing]';
                fetch_object('cybcb_infoarea').style.color = 'gray';

.
2. FIND AND DELETE:

PHP Code:


		
			
             if (!Ccb_nowLoading)
            {
                fetch_object('cybcb_infoarea').style.display = 'none';
                fetch_object('ccb_entermessage').style.height = '$cybcb_height_input';
            }

.
3. FOR MAC USERS: to fix a mac sizing bug where the text area will contract & expand on refresh, find all:

Quote:

$cybcb_height_input_wstatus

and replace with:

Quote:

$cybcb_height_input

Hope that helps everyone from gettin' shifty eyes when using IE7 ;):rolleyes::D

Could someone tell me in laymans terms how to manually move this chatbox below my Random Member Photos on my index page? I am having a tough time figuring out which template this needs to go on. Please help -- otherwise its working well! Thanks in advance, Rachelle

Hi and thanks for this, but both options did not work for me :(

I still get the flicker.

Edited the Template as you advised on the Skin I am using and did a replace and saved.
Refreshed the Forum page and still the same movement.

I reset the template back to how it was and then tried option2 to increase the text area, but still the movement :(

Cheers

Sean.

Sorry my mistake.

I checked template and I had not deleted the last bits correctly.

All done now and fixed the problem.

Many thanks, as was driving me mad :up:

Cheers

Sean.

Yup, it's very important to do the last step:
FIND AND DELETE:

PHP Code:


		
			
             if (!Ccb_nowLoading)
            {
                fetch_object('cybcb_infoarea').style.display = 'none';
                fetch_object('ccb_entermessage').style.height = '$cybcb_height_input';
            }

.
But do the other steps too, listed in my post above. ;)

Glad it worked, and happy to help :D

Well it installed for me and it works in Firefox. But in IE I can only input but not see any content of the chatbox... any ideas why that could happen?
Honestly I tried this Chatbox only 'cause the other one I had installed for quite some time did not work in IE at all anymore - it showed up but did not work in IE just sais "loading" same here.. in IE it says loading... but there is nothing displayed even with your chatbox I have the chance to shout with IE even I can not see what I shout.

Coud this be something that has to do with the Updates of vBulletin and a file used by chatboxes?
