None of the free ones have all those features. I'm not even sure the pay ones will send people away from your forum like that - is that really what you want?

Last pay chat I checked out was http://www.addonchat.com/features.html .

sorry my english is bad (google translate is my friend) :erm:

There is a small trick.

First the chatbox to view the forum. Then look at the page source code and copy part because of the chatboxcode.

for vbulletim cms:
Create an html widget and insert the html code. that's it.


for vBadvanced CMPS:

Create a new template (for example: adv_portal_chatbox) and then insert the html code
then under-vba CMPS: Add module (module template) and then integrate the new template (in my example the adv_portal_chatbox)

how and where you got the html code? please advice

when the chatbox is displayed in the forum - for example, under the navbar, you can put your browser to view the source code of the page.

You will have to find where the code begins with the chatbox and then stops

Example: When I start the chatbox code like this:


and ends with:

I added the chatbox, then updated a custom style and now my chatbox window is darker than I'd like.

I can't find for the life of me to change the color. Couldn't find anything in the additional.css, style vars, etc.

Any ideas?

is there a code i can change on the chatbox to match the backround of my style?????

The chatbox is using existing stylevars.
Specificly the blocksubhead variables (background, border etc).

I need to change the color of the input box and it needs to be different then the color specified in the ".textbox, textarea, select, #vB_Editor_QR_editor" css.
I have been trying different things for a week now and cant get it to change.
Can someone please let me know how to change this without changing every thing else on my template.

Thank you

You can do this by altering the "vsa_chatbox_input" template.
Just add a style background element that has the color that you want.
For example:

"blockrow_background.backgroundColor" is the styleelement I used, but you can also pick another one.

That is not working for me. It is still the same color - any other ideas?

Can i just use a color like #fff instead of using the stylevars for background color?

I am having a problem.

When I reversed the message chat order(newest at the bottom), every time the chat box refreshes, the line jumps up to about 5 or 6 above the newest posts. This hides the very newest posts from the normal view.

Is there anyway to fix this? My users are very annoyed by this.

The weird this is, my work computer(IE7) doesn't have this problem. Just newer browsers.

Is there a way to change the background color of the chatbox?

Hi from Greece.This trick works fine ??? I need VSa - ChatBox ONLY in CMPS page (Homepage1 and Homepage2) and NOT in the forum or subforums.Any ideas ????

For me it works without error. After creating the widget for the CMS, you can do it for the show off again in the forum. You will need the HTML source code of the chat box. You see with your browser - View> Page Source on "Forum Home".

I write it in German - perhaps it can translate someone who is not so bad in English as I am:

Die Chatbox im Forum (Forumhome) anzeigen. Anschliessend mit dem Browser im Forum den Seitenquelltext anschauen. Danach nur den Teil des HTML-Codes von der Chatbox kopieren.
Jetzt kann man ein HTML Widget erstellen und dort den Quellcode einf?gen. Wenn man alles richtig kopiert hat, kann man danach in den Einstellungen im AdminCP die Anzeige f?r das Forum wieder abstellen. Geht eigentlich relativ schnell. Kaputt machen kann man da nichts. Einfach ausprobieren.

Einen Nachteil hat das ganze: Wenn man sp?ter irgendwann mal neue Smileys integriert oder welche l?scht dann stimmen die Pfade in dem HTML-Widget nicht mehr. Dann muss man also per Hand die Pfade im Widget l?schen oder ganz einfach den Sourcecode nochmal kopieren.

any one have this issue when they updated to vb4.1.10 from vb4.1.9 ??
the size of the color pick boxes

Thank you for your answer.I 'll try it today.

My friend gothi, don't work.I don't know where is the error, but i see the original forum's page with smilies (inclunding header and footer) inside chatbox !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek::eek:

I use this code.......

hmm. weird. Your code works for me - see picture. (of course without the graphics in the source code because the urls are different). But it works, the code is correct.

CMPS:
do you have a created html module?
have you created a new template and then insert your source code?
and the template (for example: adv_portal_vsa_chatbox) inserted into the module?
Module Wrapper Template set to use no? (see picture)

I could find an answer posted already so here's my question?

How would I move the chatbox from under the navbar to say the header, sidebar, vb cms, etc?

I couldn't find any .css for it in the style manager and can only find how to resize it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Installed, like it and removed it. It seems every chatbox is having scrolling issues. Using Chrome and if a chat box gets a scroller because of too many text, it won't scroll down to the latest message. Even when you already scrolled down entirely, a new message won't show up as you'll have to scroll down again..

Whitey, use the "{vb:raw vsachatbox}" code in any template to customize it's appearance in a different position. Make sure you disable the auto-insert first (the option where you set it above the footer, below the forums, etc)

Sorry if already explained but i just find a fix in languages (not easy with other mods)


To fix date / hour bug

Go into OPTIONS -> VSA Chatbox

Find fields.

Date format (blank to disable)
Time format

Replace content
d-m ----> %d-%m
H:i ----> %H:%M

I canot Install database error for 4.1.10

EDIT: problem solved

NICE, thank you

OK how would I implement that code in somewhere like the global 1 header advert spot?

Valter,
Nice mod, I appreciate being able to use it. Curious as to what if any improvements you have in store.
I'd like to see avatars added to chat line and admin tools in the chat front end.

Cheers,
helwoe

any ideea why my admin user id:1 cant see it but other administrators or members see it and use it ?

Presumably you have your permissions set incorrectly AdminCP>Settings>Options>Vsa Chatbox>Permissions.

I recently moved the chat box to the bottom of the page.

When I did this IE users started getting errors. They get 404 errors and page moved errors. IF they wait the page will refresh.

Suggestions?

All installed fine, have selected it to be in 1 forum only, which is fine. However it still displays on my main page.

Can I get rid of this, so the only place you can see the chatbox is on the forum I specify in the settings?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Sup, im pretty new to VB (moved from SMF a week ago) code backend is so different ;)

Anyway, i got the shoutox installed on FORUMHOME but when i access the forums from my domain the shoutbox sits there "loading...." and wont ever load

when i once reloaded the site it works flawlessly, but this bug is annoying like mad :(
prolly some ajax probs
and somehow the shoutbox causes HAVY serverload :P compared to others

awesome mod thanks dude

any chance you could make it have a sound when someone enters a message like a bleep or something?
cheers

is it possible to display 2 shoutboxes ? :P

Can i get a little help guys and gals.
FIrst off my shoutbox works PERFECT and has for a long time.
120k plus shouts and still running hot :)
Anyways.....

Every now and again.. And not often i find i cant post certain things.
I just never worried about it. Anyway i tried to post the below sentence and for the life of me can not. Not can anyone else.

I am not trying to be funny with the above. Its simply a sentence i can not post in the shoutbox.
I dont run any word filters or anything like that as my shoutbox gets very low brow.
Is there some other filter i dont know about?
I can post any word i can think of singly without a problem. All the big bombs so never imagined there was a filter.

Can someone else try that sentence in there shoutbox and see if it works for them please?


ADDITIONALLY

I upgraded to 4.1.11 today. Now we have a mobile theme default.
How would i add this chatbox to the new mobile theme?

Check your settings in 'Censorship Options' (ACP > vBulletin Options).

hello
after installing this addon, stopped showing notice for users...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/...png?1330619522

How to fixit?

My vBulletin 4.0.5

That's a skimpy screenshot, but I see a notice in it. Anyway, I'm pretty sure we've had this discussion before - try a 'search this mod' for 'notices'. You may just have to move the chatbox to a different location. Or remind us what the specific Feature Request was.
