Doesn't the description from the README works ?

Got everything to work, thanks! It's even better and faster than the previous versions which is very awesome! Though, I do have a small request if possible. Is it possible you can add specific announcements in different channels?

Oh, and if possible. Can you create the channel images for black themes as well?

I was wondering if someone could comment on server resources used with this mod. I'm running cyb chat currently and it's just chewing up tooooooo much bandwidth. :mad:

I need to look at other options....SOON.


Thanks!

I don't understand the second part of your message. What do you mean exactly ?

I am going to create a new template for the next chatbox version, a small version which will fit in vbadvanced side columns.

That's normal and is supposed to do so until there is a full refresh unfortunately. This is due to the feature I implemented to make the chatbox less ressource hungry.

I'll add this to the todo list and see what I can do.

You are globally right. My idea was in order to build up a place where users could also shares buttons set and so on.

And also because this thread is starting to become massive and really hard to follow for other users that don't come everydays.

No currently it's not possible and I am not sure this feature would be very good. I will see if others ask for that.

I unfortunately don't have the buttons psd anymore :( I lost them and the guys who made them is gone.

Perhaps someone could work more cool buttons, I will try to do some as soon as I have the time as I really would like to provide users with more buttons set.

My chatbox is normally less agressive on bandwidth as I have implemented an intelligent way of retrieving shouts.

Shouts are loaded on startup and then only new shouts are retrieved. There are no full reload upon each refresh.

OK I see that this is only happening for my custom style but not the default style. So what could be the difference between the two and where should I start looking?

I suppose that I could always give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks for responding.

[Minor scrolling Bug]

=> Newest shouts at the bottom

1. When I switch from the "General Channel" to an other channel, the shoutbox does not scroll automatically to the bottom
2. When I delete a shout, the shoutbox does not scroll automatically to the bottom

Nice work VBDev. :) :)

To go with the above scrolling problem... also with newest shouts at bottom, if you delete a shout... after confirmation you come back to the bar scrolled up and have to scroll down back to the bottom.

Also, it seems the inactivity is inconsistent... I've walked away a few times and come back to it still active (set at 15 mins) but I've set it to 1 min and you do go inactive. So I've not figured out what the missing variable is making it happen sometimes and not others.

[Minor scrolling Bug]

=> Newest shouts at the bottom

3. When you make a shout in a by an administrator created channel, you have to scroll down to see this shout.

Firefox 3.0.3

Greetings.

thanks and good work!

Perhaps your style is not up-to-date with vB3.7 ? Was it an old 3.6 style ?

Hum that's a possibility indeed ! I am going to add this to the bug list.

That's normal, as soon as the chatbox is scrolled it doesn't automatically scroll to the bottom anymore unless you go to the bottom again.

Same answer as above.

?? You mean it was working set to 15 but does when set to 1 ?

What do you mean by administrator create channel ?

It did earlier... I just checked it at 15 (by 20 still no inactivity) and put it to 1 and after 5 still no... I asked everyone in the shout to hold on a few mins and see if it did to them, and no one got the message... After we came back... it was then going inactive at 1min- so I guess you have to type after changing the setting... but then it was doing it in 1 min intervals correctly.

edit: and sometimes my shout goes up 5 times :erm:... But it seems the others can't see them. they only see it once.

I have this MOD installed on 3.8.0 Beta1 and everything seems to be working okay, but I can't figure out how to set up channels. I did set up a test channel, placing one of the channel images in the correct folder and naming it correctly (per instructions in AdMin CP). However, when I click the channel icon and enter some chat, nothing shows up. When I click on the main chat button, all of my chat on that channel doesn't show. I have to do a page refresh for it to reappear. I did search this MOD for help and read through several pages, but I couldn't find anything that specifically explains how to set up channels. Any help on doing this would be greatly appreciated.

First I told you that bbcode lines and smilies lines expand on page load, if you set "Save the collapsed stae of the BBCODE and smilies lines" to yes. Then I noticed that another pc does not have the same problem. Therefore I have deleted my browser cache and closed the browser. Now with the same setting, the bbcode and smilies lines collapse on page load. So, it now acts the other way around. :confused:

That would be awesome and might even be less painful for you than helping me get it done. ;) I am afraid it won' t save you much time, but shall I sent you my templates? As I mentioned before, it has two problems:
1. horizontal scrollbar on IE7.
2. bbcode does not line break, so that it stretches the side column, if you uncollapse the bbcode line.

It is probably not such a bad idea than I first thought. It is really getting harder to find the answers in this thread and it would be nice to get add-ons, buttons, etc at a central place.

OK I was using the 3.7.1 version of my style while my board was 3.7.3 PL1. Didn't realize it would make that big a difference...

In any case I am now updated to the 3.7.3 version of my style. I am not getting the security token error anymore but now when I type in a message in the chatbox and hit enter, nothing appears in the box. But when I click on the archives box the shouts are showing up. It's doing this in my default style as well. Any ideas? Thanks for the help thus far Andrew :up:

Thanks for the update!

Error:

See here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2760

For some reason I don't see the options to configure to see the Shoutbox under the AdminCP > Usergroup and what usergroup it is. I'm logged on with Administrator rights as it, but I don't know why its not working correctly.

The thing was, it was working fine a couple days back when I uploaded all the files needed and did follow the instructions. Any ideas?

Fantastic new release. I've managed to get almost everything perfect except the old issue with a style interfering with the opacity mode change and the arcade placements isn't working for me at all (No big deal)

Here's tonights oddity: If I slap someone in my second channel, it appears in the default channel instead. Does this indicate something I need to revert or reupload?

You have to do a full page refresh once the inactive mode has been activated. Otherwise the javascript timeout doesn't start.

What does that mean ?

This is a reported bug, see the list above. If you collapse expand the chatbox then it seems to work, can you test if that does ?

I think you have activated the : show chatbox collapsed by default option.

No no that's ok, I'll do a simple one with far less buttons.

Yes but for the moment not a lot of peoples seems to be interested so I think I'll just leave that idea for the moment.

Have u tried refreshing your browser cache and are the chatbox templates ok in your new style ?

You don't see the usergroup permissions in the admincp, that's what you meant ?

That's strange. I had tested it when writing the redme a long time ago and it was working perfectly. However it was not on the 3.7 version, perhaps it's the reason...

Hum I haven't tested the slap command in other channels but that should not be bugging as now channels are totally not linked with commands.

When you did slap the other user, was it using the menu or by entering the slap command manually ? If not manually can you try both method please ? I suspect a bug in the menu item.

Not in the "Gerneral Channel", but in all other, manually created channels.

Like I have already said: When you make a shout in one of these channels, you have to scroll a little bit down to see this shout.

Damn that's what it was LOL wow I been pulling my damn hair out trying to get it going and it was the browser cache the whole time lol. My only concern is will all my members have to clear their cache as well before they will be able to see the chatbox?

Thanks again Andrew :up:

I figured that- but still doesn't explain why it isn't working at 15 mins. I left it up for 3+ hours on Firefox(signed in) and IE(not logged in) and both were still up when I got back.



See attachment- but others only see it once. It happened to at least one other person- it's happened to me twice.
Thanks,
Andrew

Any specific reason why the chatbox is automatically scrolled up whenever the page is being refreshed and or refresh/switch channels? As for the shouts showing duplicate, I had the exact same thing randomly. For some odd reasons my shouts were showing up multiple times.

If it's what I am suspecting: when you enter the other channel, it does show the oldest at first and doesn't automatically scroll at the bottom. Am I understand it well ?

It's because the javascript file of the chatbox was udpated. As javascript files are "cached" by the browser this causes errors with the new php files and templates. Normal isn't it ? ;)

Perhaps 15 min is too much (exceeds the max value of the timeout function as its arguments are in milliseconds).

Very odd, never expercienced that.

Scrolled up ? What do you mean ?

Howdy Dev, I see your still busy as ever.

I just upgraded to 1.1.0 from... hrm, I guess it was .3.0. (I know, I've been busy too.) I've done a fresh install removing the old chat first. Nothing typed goes into the chatbox. They are showing up in the archives, but the chat area is blank. Did I maybe skip a step somewhere? Thanks.

Hrm, this must be a formatting issue. They don't show in IE, but I just noticed that the chats show in FireFox, but their not in line: http://www.cogonline.net/forums/

OK I figured out how to keep all your old chats from previous version. I experimented with versions 0.5.0 and 1.0.0 and was able to successfully save all my old chats so that they were in the archive's and in the chatbox when upgrading to the new 1.1.0

***BACKUP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS***

When upgrading from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0

• DO NOT uninstall the old version first, instead simply copy and replace all the new files that are in the 1.1.0 zip file into your forum directory.
• Then in the adminCP goto "Manage Products" then "Add/Import Product". Select the new 1.1.0 xml file, Set "Allow Overwrite" to "YES" and then click "Import".
• That's IT! If you need to import your language then do so now. Also you may have to clear your browser cache before the chats will show up. But that's all I had to do when upgrading from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0

When upgrading from 0.5.0 to 1.1.0

• DO NOT uninstall the old version first, instead simply copy and replace all the new files that are in the 1.1.0 zip file into your forum directory.
• Then in the adminCP goto "Manage Products" then "Add/Import Product". Select the new 1.1.0 xml file, Set "Allow Overwrite" to "YES" and then click "Import".
• Then in the adminCP under the "Maintenance" tab click on "Excute SQL Query". Then your going to excute a manual query...
  
  Code:

  ---

  UPDATE mgc_cb_evo_chat SET coidentifier='0'

  ---

• That's IT! If you need to import your language then do so now. Also you may have to clear your browser cache before the chats will show up. But that's all I had to do when upgrading from 0.5.0 to 1.1.0

If your using a version BELOW 0.5.0 you could still try using the same steps that I listed for upgrading from 0.5.0 to 1.1.0 They may work I'm not sure like I said I only tested 0.5.0, and 1.0.0

thnaks for your update work fine for me :)

Hum you have refreshed your browser cache ? CAn you give me a test account ?

:up: AWESOME!

Anyone know how to change the EXPAND by default setting in the adminCP? Like when you first login to adminCP certain tabs are expanded by default. I noticed that was changed in this new version and I am just wondering where I can edit that at, what template or xml file etc. Thanks!

I've flipped the way the text are being shown. It goes from up to down, rather than down to up.

Meaning:
Old Chats <--
New Chats here <--

How ever, it seems when changing channels or refreshing the page. Your chat begins at at the top and or the middle of the whole chat box. It should be at the bottom, not top.

Which you mentioned here:
Exactly. That's the problem.

? What has been change is that you can expand the editor lines in the chatbox by default that's all. Nothing to do with admin cp link expanding.


Yes but in that case it should be at top not in the middle as you're stating.

No I understand that but here is what I am talking about...
When I open my adminCP the MGC Chatbox EVO tab is ALWAYS Expanded by default instead of Collapsed...

Thanks for the information. I have tried this and it works. But unfortunately, it's something that needs to be done every time I come back to a page that has the chat system on it. Any idea when this bug will be fixed?

I have forced the chat box to collapsed mode as a temporary fix. Should there be chat dialogue showing in collapsed mode? If so, then I'll have to let members know that they will need to uncollapse the chat box in order to start chatting.
