Thanks for the suggestions :) im currently having issues with vB4 RC2 on IIS7 so i hope to actually get something done tomorrow.

Oh btw i have 'Notifications on new thread' working but it currently doesn't not filter forums and can not be disabled, this will be added in the near future.

Also anyone using PHP 5.3+ who wishes to apply for a beta program please contact me. As i hope to iron out all of the current bugs before releasing 0.7

Just an fyi - the name and the focus on explaining commands made me think this wasn't actually a chat box at all. You'd probably get a wider install base if it was clearer that it works as a simple shout/chat box :)

One smell suggestion, you have the background set to use the same CSS as whatever the forum's forum-row is set to. This is fine except if you are using a texture for the forum row, as the CSS for the forum row does not currently have the repeat attribute, therefore depending on the texture used the background of the chat box can be half texture and half color. And of course as the chatbox can be made bigger sooner or later the user will see the gap however big the texture used is.

I fixed this on my forum by just adding the repeat to the forum-row CSS, but you could perhaps at this to that div it's self to avoid this cropping up for your installers.

lol I have to be honest, I can live without all the extras, I just wanted a simple chat box with a couple of commands but I guess a lot of people like all the extras (till their forum gets much bigger lol).

can anyone help with adding this to the CMS and while your viewing threads and posts?

Currently that would require a custom hook, however in GCBOS 0.7 you just need to insert <!-- {SHOUTBOX} --> where ever you want it to display. For example hooks take a look at the plugin's Display: forumhome etc that are installed by default.


Oh the current release should work fine with RC4 :)

In .7 did you make it so that the date format can either be customized or isn't reliant on military time display?

i guess i could use vbdate and so it uses the default settings of the board. Anyway im gonna grab some z's

I have problems in vB 4.0.0 RC2 with GCBOS

Attach my error :(

F1 please!!!

Zorry... version GCBOS is GCBOS_0.6.9.zip

It doesn't for me. I just get loading....

Works fine for me

So I just noticed something. In version 6.5 a .svn folder is uploaded. In all the other installs its not present. What was that folder for?

I have reinstalled it 4 times now and it doesn't do anything.

Apache version 2.0.63
PHP version 5.2.9
MySQL version 5.0.85-community
Architecture i686
Operating system Linux

This is my server info

don't F1 for me? :(

It's a conflict with another plugin, I (and many others) have had the same problem. page back a page or two on this thread and you'll see a list of things that have been identified as causing this issue.

Once I disabled the mod that was causing the issue, it started working fine.

FML it was hanging because of the "My Threads & My Posts" mod....

this hack cause some conflict with gcbos

As a quickfix to the 'loading bug' simply add
To headinclude and remove the old hook :)

This will stop your loop-error

Is there any way to add the smiley-box and custom font colors?

I think things like that is something the author is working on. But just having it simple and working is really all we need :-)

0.7 is confirmed to run on PHP 5.3.1 and litespeed webserver.

Nice, this is very nice except I would like to see this ported into something like inferno. Mute reason and who muted would be nice..

And im working on some features to make this more 'appealing' font styles etc.

Sounds good, can't wait! This is shaping up to be a very excellent mod, thank you for your work on it!

HY

can anyone help me and fix this?? and if i use /clear Command it clear the Box but after Reload site i have all old Entry agian in the box!!!!!!!!!

Is there anyway to get "Newest posts at top"
Thanx

I installed the mod in my VB4 test forum.

Now my home page with the GCBOS chat open and enabled keeps "refreshing" indefinitely. About every 30secs (+/-) there is a request going from my browser to my server.

With hundreds of visitors in my forum I can imagine a major performance impact. I currently use "Cyb ChatBox" on my VB3.8 production server with no major performance impact (or at least its manageable). With Cyb ChatBox I can configure a timeout when a client is considered no longer active and no new chat entries will be delivered. A user will time out and I as admin can control it. I also restricted Chat access to only registered members to lower overhead.

How does GCBOS work? Will it time out? Can I configure it? Imagine all the users that walk away from their computer and leave my forum home page open.

Performance is important.

*edited*

I made a crucial mistake. I didnt read ALL the instructions.

I feel so newb....

Did you see this post?

Love this addon, it is realy shaping up to be a MOD of the year.. question, like another user asked, is there any future option to have it timeout/idle. Because there is no idle feature, currently, it continues to display shouts to those who just keep my url loaded.. so it does cause a server problem.

thanks and keep up the hard work

I agree if this thing gets an idle feature it will be perfect.

It also really could use an option to disable smilies and a quicker way to setup permissions.

I have recently installed this on my forums, but it seems like it is loading one line of text at a time and scrolling with it, this is kinda boring to wait for if the display limit is high like 50-100 or so.

And as I read it should have been dealt with in version 0.6.9 but its not loading the chat instantly.
Is there an option for it that I have not seen or is there some thing else I can do about the issue?

Other than that I really like it, figured out how to change the colors on it was a bit of a pain, but I blame that on the new StyleVars as I looked for ever for that.

A couple of suggestions...the submit button should either be invisible or grey-ed out when a user doesn't have permission to chat...it prevents people from typing in a long sentence then realising they aren't logged in. Also, I don't like the way it retypes the history with Internet Explorer - it types lines twice or more times if they have been edited - looks kind of silly if you ask me.

I know you are working hard on this mod - and I really enjoy using it. You've been helpful in answering questions and so - I thought - what could I do in return?

Well - while lurking around - I grabbed a screenshot of IP Shoutbox and thought you'd enjoy seeing the controls, etc and how they are arranged. The controls would really help my new users (some are really young) who do not know BBCode.

I totally understand if you are not interested in adding these types of features.

Keep up the great work.
