hmm i cant get the chatbox on firefox anymore all it says is loading and ive refreshed and even restarted firefox and wen i try post anything i get

var security, or mod security..... If it's apache, it's mod_security.

is there any server load with this version ??

thanks vbdev for updating

Not, I use a personalized style...but with the version 0.40 all it worked
Yes, the archives are the chat :D

I get the double posting as well any fix yet?

Well you mean removal of urls ?

Yes it's a possibility. I should apply a fix for the mod security thing. I'll need your help to test if it works once done.

Can you give me test account with admin account and ftp (by pm) so that I can have a look around.

The fact is I don't encounter that issue and don't know what could be causing that...

Unless someone try to disable some options and then find out which one is causing the issue I won't be able to help a lot :/

I'll try to find out in the code but without experiencing it, it's a bit hard.

Cl?ment

Today I installed the chatbox on a vB 3.8 beta test forum with standard style and everything worked fine with ie and firefox. I installed vbcms portal and included the chatbox on the portal site and everything worked perfect.

I uninstalled the chatbox in our "real" forum, deleted all the files from the server and deleted all templates and installed the chatbox. But still the same problem. IE users can't see the shouts in the shoutbox. May there be a problem with the style?

VBDev,

The users on my site really want a chat function, and I really want a transcript function to make sure good stuff doesn't slip away into the ethers of obscurity. I really don't want to add chat until there's a way to do that.

Just something that could drop an entire chat, or maybe an hourly or daily snapshot of history... something like that... into a chat transcript forum. That'd be dandy.

Title could of the transcript post be based on the date, whatever. Nothing too fancy needed. Just something functional. That way, if anything amazing comes up, there's a record, and it'll come up in the search.

If you can add this, I'll donate at least $100 to the project by paypal. More if you find this complex in any way.

PM me your paypal addy if this is do-able and okay by you.

Thanks kindly :) :)
Jas

Oh, is the "chat archive" the chat transcript? i.e., does it already basically post transcripts?

If so, and it's searchable w/the rest of the forum posts, I guess you got that $100 donation coming to you already. :)

I'll have to install this and see. (or maybe someone here can confirm)

UPDATE: I just imported the style to our testforum and the chatbox is still working. Do you have an idea where the problem is?

no, no javascript modification applied, I installed directly the 1.0.0 version (fresh install) on
vb 3.7.2 and then i not needed javascript mod
Anyway, i repeat, the 1.0.0 version was running fine with that skin, the "security" problem is apparead only after upgrading to new version


ok, thanks


thanks



where is this option? i just see only 2 options to set:

-Retrieval of smilies in the admincp set order (yes/no)
-Random retrieval of the smilies (yes/no)

i tried all combination of this setting, and i get ever a random-like order of smilies, and this for the few smiles visible inside chatbox but for box showing all smilies too (th box that opens when you click on "...more")
Only setting "no" to both I obtained a max 18 smilies inside the chatbox that respect the admin panel order, yes just 18, if i set a greater number (from "Number of listed smilies" option"), starting from 19th smile the order is random-like. In any case the box with all smilies, show smilies NOT in order, ever, with any setting.




oh! thanks! i didn't noticed that quotes

...can i suggest you a simpler sintax? I think no one use the userid format, the only format used is "username", then you should remove the "uname" and use this sintax:
/PM "username" textmessage

but you can leave userid sintax if someone want use it, with same format as is now

about PM, i noticed that you have included a set of icons for PM, that suggest me that PM can function as channel... maybe? how can i use that icons?

i investigate on that and solved, my usergroup setting error
i have that prob because MODs are registered users too! i supposed (wrongly) that chatbox appling the "best" permission of mod usergroup. However solved removing MODs from registered users usergoup.




no, no... i experienced that with FF and near all of my users use FF, and much of them experienced that prob, i cant say if all... but many

just another thing that seem don't function, comand SLAP.... i tried to slap "username" o Slap username (without quotes) but nothing happen

as ever.. many many thank for your effort and your support

New update already? Looks good though, so I'll update for my own forum tomorrow.

Hope it's not already been mentioned as a potential non-life-threatening issue but it seems the alternating row colors doesn't always work. If I refresh, it reappears properly but occassionally runs the same color for an unspecified period...

Also noticed (admin cp title) MGC Chatbox Evo : Chats diplay - but who reads this stuff :D

What changed in the latest version. I can't find info about it in the changelog:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=221

can you set a daily post requirement on this hack? Like a user must make 3 posts to the forum before being able to use the chat feature

Why don't you guys start explore hacks before ask unswered questions?!?!?! This is in each usergroup settings: Minimum number of posts to use the chatbox.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing...

I think maybe just a language added?

He said DAILY post count.

Do you have a specific difference between your real forum server and the test one ?

The chatbox archive is the transcript of the chats yes.

All old chats that aren't shown in the chatbox anymore will still be shown there :)

What do you mean with specific difference? The test forum was a new installation. Our "real" forum was updated from an earlier version of vB to 3.7.3. We also installed an earlier version of the mgc chatbox. But we uninstalled it and deleted the files on the server when we used mgc chatbox evo.

And our testforum runs on another server. Are there some server settings which have to be done?

Yes I posted a message in the forum and sent an update email, it was just the addition of the turkish language.

In that case I don't increment the chatbox version.

The problem with the alternating row colors is the new performance enhancing system I introduced (intelligent shouts loading).

I think I will perhaps remove the possibility to alternate row colors because the management would be too hard to achieve to make it compatible with the performance thing (that would need many javascript code to be ran).

You can set a minimum number of posts during the last 24 hours condition (usergroup permission). Is it what you're seeking ?

There is perhaps some differences between your two servers which are interfering with the chatbox.

Do you have mod_security activated ?

Hum, I checked the code and there shouldn't be any security token error.

I don't remember if I asked you wether you had emptied your browser cache or not ?

Where exactly did that problem happen ?

The first option shall be set to yes and the other to no to achieve what you want.

I don't really want to change the whole syntax of the command. By the way I am using the userid one in the menu.

It used to be possible prior to 1.0.0. Now PM are shown in all channels.

Perhaps I could see the possiblity of adding command options for channels ?

You have activated the command ? Check the help for the command ysntax.

I'll have to take a look. The server things does a friend of mine.

so this chatbox Does have a feature that restrict use of the chat box unless a user hit the required post amount in a 24 hr time frame. So if i enter 4 in that area none can use the chatbox on any day unless they have 4 posts that day?

Exactly ! You got it :)

And i know that. Wrong copy/paste :D . This is the right one: Minimum number of posts during the last 24H to use the chatbox, just bellow the other option

Just checked the server settings. The settings are the same on both servers...

We just installed version 0.5 and this version works fine with IE.

1) i tried with FF and IE, emptied cache, same problem

2) that problem (Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.), happen using a specific skin, but only with that one, not with default skin, and not with other skin that i have on my forum
using that skin I see the chatbox , but if i type something inside chatbox and then press enter... that message appear
I repeat that i used this "faulty" skin before with version 1.0.0 and it worked, without any problem.
this "security-token" problem is appeared when i just upgraded to 1.1.0 (and i never used security token javascript, not when installed previous 1.0.0. and not when upgraded to 1.1.0)


as i said, i tried ALL combination of this option, and this too, and never obtained same post editor smilies order (that is the same order of admin panel, the "correct" order)

With the setting you suggest, i get TOTAL random order, for smiles INSIDE chatbox and for all smilies window too!
I only obtained to have 18 smilies -inside- chatbox with same order of post editor, setting that options to NO/NO (but clicking on "...more" i get the all smilies windows with smilies in random-like order)

I understand that is strange, i can give you a forum admin pw access if you want check (for skin problem too)

should be very nice if we can have PM discussion re-directed and all grouped -automatically- in a PM channel



:rolleyes: sure....

i chechekd many time the sintax..... slap has 2 format
1) /slap uname username_utilisateur
2) /slap uid userid_utilisateur

i tried only with uname format, tried with username inside quotes and without quotes.. right format now is without quote

the command in some way "work", because if i type a username that don't exist, i get the message:
L'utilisateur que vous souhaitez gifler n'existe pas

instead if i type a username existing (inside chatbox) i get no error message... but NOTHING happen.
I asked to users that i "slapped" if they has receveid a message or something, but nothing.

Fine with me.

I have install the new Version. Bevore, i deinstall the old one.
But in the Box there comes no Text. In the Archive i can see that.

What shell i do?

http://www.xboxgamertag.de/forum.php

mod security, or security var token blah blah.

For me? But its only with Firefox ....

Revert your templates.

No, its not work and ist terrible. My Complete Style is now broken :(

Reverting a style doesn't break anything. Sounds to me like you already had issues.

If you want, later today I can take a look. PM me a login / password to the forum with admin access and the ftp account login / password so I can reupload/edit the chat files if needed.

I'd do it now but my daughter and I have plans.

Sorry, I have been a bit busy lately and haven't been able to do anything relating to the chatbox.

Yes but I don't understand why it works on your other forum with the default and normal style.

There must be differences between your test forum and your real forum.

The chats sending javascript code is ok, the security token is in the called url.

Are you sure it does come from the chatbox ?

I add it to the "bug list" and will have a look.


I'll see what I can do.


Hum very strange. And if you try using the menu item ?

Yes... thats normaly, if i revert the Templates, because the CSS is then not correct ;)

The Problem exist, that in Forumhome the Text not dislpayed, but in the Achive i can see the Text.

And since the Update, the Chatbox don't displayed in the online.php. I try that....
.. but it's not working :(

Any Idea?

MotMann, like I said earlier, I'll try and help but you need to create the accounts and supply the info.

Thanx for this wonderful chatbox - I have a question please. How do I make the chatbox appear 1st, directly beneath the navbar on forumhome as seen in the screenshot below? I have tried setting the execution order of the Chatbox display on forumhome plugin to 1 - doesn't seem to work though.

Thanx in advance for help ;)

Jacquii.
