I've added a hotfix that should resolve this issue, and I've also resolved it on the MH website :)


Fillip

Do I need to reinstall & reupload myself, or did you do it yourself while you were checking it out?

Also, there have been some new bugs that came up after your fix.

They are:

- when I type a message on the shoutbox, it appears blank for a few seconds and then appears.

- When we go into threads we get the following new error (which was not present before this fix):
- Now no one can edit their posts anymore (gets stuck on loading when I press edit)

Please assist.

It is not necessary for you to post the same issues in 3 different locations, it only makes it harder for me to assist you :)

Hello,

forums/dbtech/vbshout/includes/class_install.php appears to be missing!

I am pretty sure the file is there but for some reasons, the installation is not getting through. Any other ways to bypass this?

Thanks.

Unfortunately not, it's required for installation. Please make sure you have uploaded the contents of the upload folder (and not the upload folder itself) to your forum folder, which appears to be forums.


Fillip

Dear Fillip, please verify it yourself.

Thanks.

In that case it may be an issue with file permissions, I notice the various files have different file permissions.

The file needs to be readable by PHP in order to work.

Fillip

I even tried changing the file permission as well, even 0777 doesn't work in my case :/

Hmmm... Your site isn't vB5 is it? That's literally the only other reason I can think of...

Fillip

Nope, vBulletin 4.2.3 :(

Do you want me to provide you with a test account to have a look at it?

Cheers

I'll need an FTP and AdminCP account in order to look into this further, thanks :)


Fillip

Just did it.

Cheers

Hey, did you get time to look at my private message?

Thanks.

Unfortunately Mondays are very busy for us so I did not get a chance to look at it (the brief period I did, vB.org was down due to the upgrade).

I will be looking at it later today.

Fillip

6.2.15 is a quick XML update to resolve an issue where the SB could get stuck loading.

Fillip

Back to normal with this latest version - go figure :D

Hi When I try to upload the shoutbox why do I get this error message and what can I do to load the shoutbox without this error?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/hapi/public_html/dbtech/vbshout/includes/global.php on line 77

Hi there,

Could you please upgrade to PHP 5.4 or newer? Older versions of PHP are not being given any further security patches and are subject to security risks.

Thanks!

Fillip

Thanks for your help Fillip, it was indeed an issues with my host provider.


Cheers

:cool:

I wanted the shout box to be able to show current posts its not doing that it only allows just chat how do i fix this thanks.

In the AdminCP under DBTech - vBShout, click Notifications, and tick the boxes next to the forums you want it to post notifs about new posts :)


Fillip

Can we use this on vb 4.2.3?

Yes, this product should work well with vB 4.2.3. :)

Thanks!!!

vBShout v6.2.15 Patch Level 1

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where creating a chatroom using the "Create Chat" popup would produce an incorrect chat room title
• Multiple other issues regarding chatroom creation and chatroom invitation have been resolved

Fillip

What steps do I need to take to upgrade from 6.2.11pl2 to v6.2.15 Patch Level 1?

Hi there,

Same as you did when installing it; upload all files, import product XML file with Overwrite set to On :)

If there are any special upgrade instructions, there will be a new .txt file in the download with the special instructions - so always check for any new readme.txt files :)


Fillip

Updated.

Thanks for a great MOD and the awesome continued support!

One of the latest Firefox,
Chat stopped working. (Loading...)
What should I do?

Check the error console for any JS errors. You can open the error console via the F12 key (windows) or Cmd-Opt-I (Mac).


Fillip

Can you make the SB accessible to guests and link me to your site so I can see this in action?

Fillip

Suddenly it started working!
If the problem returns,
I would love to consult you.
many thanks!

Latest working ok.
Some users report for this and previous that all shouts are single colour.

Compare...

Hello Fillip i upgraded the vbshout now me site user faceing problem... Text color of chat room are same means if i select my shout color green every shout in chat room is green so please tell me what is the problem...

Same problem my site users faceing.... Please solved this problem

This is working as intended. This is a limitation of the Lite version, when you change your colour in the Lite version, all shouts will appear in the same colour. Only you will see this change.


Fillip

In Version 6.2.13 lite no limitation......why you set this limitation in version 6.2.15pl1?????

It was always intended to work this way :)


Fillip

Older versions could enable each user's messages to appear in the way that user choose. So shoutbox could be very colorful, depending on options users choose. As the second image clearly shows.

And that maybe was bug, but it looked much better than in version where all shouts look the same.
