I'm having a bit of trouble. I have everything installed, and I'm not getting any error messages, but for some reason it won't appear on my forum page. Help please :)

Site is: www.gamecolonial.com

have you set the usergroup permisions?

Hum seems like I didn't understand your problem then :/

Can you make a precise description plz ?

i sent you a pm

where do i go to set the usergroup permissions for the chatbox?

Yes I have checked and I think that you haven't uploaded the mgc_cb_evo.php file in your forum root directory (which forums for you).

Like for other usergroup permissions :) In the usergroup manager of the acp.

yes it is there

domain/forum/mgc_cb_evo.php
domain/forum/mgc_cb_evo_ajax.php

it worked ok in previous versions, just not evo

Great job you?ve done! Respekt for that!
Mate, is it possible to add an social groups integration?
Like all social groups can have their own chat, where only the members of a social group can chat. :)

I'm pretty sure he's going to say that's outside of the chat function.

Flashchat might be better suited for that.

Otherwise use the group chat function.

FYI: When I upgraded to vB3.8.0 Beta 1 both my General and Team channel were purged/wiped clean. The chatbox still 'works' but previous chat prior to the upgrade will be lost.

Probably because there is no such version. ;) 3.7.3 is highest.

And if you read, upgrading from any major version purges. It says to backup the chats to an XML if you want them prior to upgrading/updating.

It's an FYI; and, Yes, there is a vB3.8.0 Beta 1 out. Catch up.

Plus, there's no way to load backed up chat; it's gone.

Beta's don't count as basing code on. ;) Hence the Beta.

There never was a way to load backed up chat. He's not implemented that feature. Also, it's not supported on 3.8.x ;)

What I do is backup my chatbox tables in the database BEFORE I upgrade, then I just re-import them back in and overwrite them.

backup these two tables individually...
mgc_cb_evo_channel
mgc_cb_evo_chat

Great idea, SnapOff Racing! Thx.

Very cool.

I've installed this on 3.7.3 PL 1 and although the chat box is showing up on my forum pages, it just shows that it's in "inactive mode" even though the options are set to "activate chat box". I've tried the refresh button, etc. but nothing is activating the chat. Any Idea what the problem could be?

Inactive or "loading"?

Inactive. :)

Hi All,

The chat works fine and I have it installed with no problems at all..

However, the "archives" do not work - when I click archives the explorer page not found appears.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Rob.

It's an option :) Just deactivate it.

You have correctly uploaded all the file ?

Hu really ?! That's not really normal. Perhaps someting changed in vB3.8.0 that forced such purge. But that's very odd, I don't think the chatbox has to do with it.

Hi VBDev,
Thx for the response.
Yeah, I'm not sure why my previous chat disappeared. I going to try another testvb upgrade this weekend with PlugIns Turned OFF before I do the actual upgrade testing and see if my chats still disappear after the upgrade. I'll let you know how it goes.
Has anyone else experienced this glitch after updating to vB3.8.0 Beta 1?

I didn't upgrade, mine was a fresh install.. Not sure what version it is, is there any way of checking.. It's a good 3 or 4 months old now. The archive has never worked but everything else is good.

Does the show rules work ?

Cannot see show rules but just tried clicking the help icon which resulted in the same explorer "page not found 404" error..

Hi VBDev,
I'm back with an update on my problem where my chat disappeared during the vB3.8.0 Beta 1 update.
I'm sorry to have cried, "Wolf!"
I did NOT lose any of my chat when I did a 2nd testvb upgrade to vB3.8.0 Beta 1. I had Plugins turned OFF when I did the upgrade this time. Whatever... I'm glad the chats disappearing did NOT happen a 2nd time.
And, thanks again for this fantastic, robust mod, vBDev. You're the Man!

Nope, they plain aren't shown period. Just the smiley code. Which works fine in posts, blog comments, visitor messages, etc but not the shoutbox.

I should try one of my forums on this soon. I'll post my results.... Thanks for letting us know....

Like VBDev said, disable that option. Let me know if that resolved it.

Any News about the new version?!

The "bug".. "[Medium] Banning user only start applying if the banned user refreshes his browser. " is really bad.

If both don't works then it's perhaps because the file mgc_cb_evo.php is not on your forum otherwise both would works.

Please try uploading files again.

So It means that perhpas it does remove all chats when the plugins are not off ?

Smilies are activated for you in the chatbox ?

If they don't display then it's perhaps because the mySmilies mod uses a specific hook for his smilies parsing which is related to the posts and threads and this is why it doesn't work in the chatbox.

This bug is corrected in the new version. It's going on, as you can see I have started adding features (see list above, all items in green are done).

The bug with the PM popup shall be corrected I think, there was a stupid JS error. However this will need to be checked during the beta test of the next version. I will as for beta testing help when I'm ready.

I hope to be releasing the new version soon.

I have checked but this feature is not possible anymore for vBulletin with the code you gave.

It would need further coding and I don't think a complicated code is really the point for such a small feature.

Thanks for looking into it!

How about this code? This will only work if you have stored avatars in file system.

(suggested here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...56&postcount=5)

Here are two threads suggesting to use fetch_avatar_url function:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=custom+avatar
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ared+avatarurl

Do you think any of these will make it easier?

Ok ive installed it and activated everything but it wont show. What am i doing wrong.

Perhaps usergroup permissions, have you set them ?

Otherwise it could be a style issue. On some styles the automatic template insertion don't work due to missing vars. There is an howto in the readme for that.

Ok. I'll see that now.

Ok ive done that but now the images wont appear.

Have you uploaded the images in all your styles images directory ?

Nope but I figured it out in another way.

However, the thumb size is a fix parameter of resize in vBulletin and can't be changed.

I have thus added 3 options :

• Activate avatar display
• Avatar width
• Avatar height

This will lead to fix size for each avatar. As a consequence, an image which hasn't the same ratios could seems strange, you see what I mean ?

But as these are really small sizes of avatar I don't think it's a major problem.

Yes ive uploaded the images and still nothing happens.

That sounds great. I don' t see any problem with the wrong aspect ratio of the resized avatars, either. This happened on the other shoutbox, too, and nobody complained about it. But I think they would have screamed out loud if the avatars had not been shown any more.

Looking forward to your new release. Thank you very much for your hard work!
