I don't know if this is directly related to this plugin or not, but I figure I could get some direction here.


I see this on the chatbox when installed.

How do I fix/install the relevant images for the chatbox smilies button & the "remove text formatting" button?

Upload the attached images to your "/images/editor" folder.

Done.

Refreshed the page. and I see it's good.
Thank you.

Hey mark i did this, but it still shows the full text an no icons.

in my styles it had to be! thanks mark i just looked into a little better.

how can i remove the message of member in chat room?

Click on the "Locate Message In Archive" icon associated with the message, then once you are in the archive, you will see a checkbox for that message, check that, then go down to the lower right of the form and click "Delete Selected." :D

Also be sure that in settings VSa - ChatBox - Groups able to prune ChatBox (comma separated usergroup IDs) has admins or what else usergroup you are This maybe as default usergroup 6, i don't remember. if it is... with Marks steps you are ok.

great mod thanks running 4.2.3 all seems well .

How could I place notices above the shoutbox exactly?

Find template vsa_chatbox and at the very top add
Change color and font size as your needs

I know VSa ChatBox hasn't been updated in a while... but i was wondering, could somebody make a patch or something, so that every post ever made in ChatBox could be transferred into a thread on the forum? Sometimes searching in History is a pain... and having all in a thread would be really nice. Plus it would be great for SEO...

Is there an issue with this mod working correctly on IOS. I have it installed on a site but the owner is not able to post using apple products.

Is it possible to change the name of the chatbox? I'd like to change the name on the drop down menu, plus view chatbox full, etc. to match my site. I've poked around a bit in the templates but cannot figure it out

Its not in templates..
Search in Phrases:
ChatBox
View ChatBox Archive
ChatBox Archive

or what else you want to change.

That did it, thank you very much!

I just did this in vb 4.2.3.....Where do I put the additional smilies?
I have some problems in Explorer and Firefox but it displays perfect in Google Chrome

Attachment 153441GC

Attachment 153442FF

Never mind I got it. I uploaded the additional images to editor. Now working in every browser in vb 4.2.3

How should i can add bot in chatroom?

Probably the best Shoutbox for vBulletin. And still working perfectly fine for vb 4.2.3.

enjoy !

Have loaded this (vB 4.2.3 Candidate 1) test site on PC under xampp

"Chatbox Full" appears on Tab as expected, but when the tab is activated I receive an error with the following script in URL ---- *********/misc.php?do=cchatbox

"Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404"

(seem to be having a lot of 'off-days' at the moment loading up various plugins! making me wonder if there's an underlying issue with my database/file structure).

Got a bit further with a fresh database. "ChatFull Box" link continues to throw back a 404 error. But I've now got the message box up - though it won't accept any input....

see attachment.

thanks for any help ....

Have got most of the settings sorted, so it appears in its own Forum. But trying to access ChatBox Full & Archive throws up 404 errors, and the message box itself won't accept any input.

Took the plunge and installed on Live Forum - and it all works (strangely!) ....

Can anyone hint on how to change the colours. Message background and font (time/usernames)?

Have removed white in admincp>options but default text is still white, so I'm guessing another setting somewhere in the plugin?

Message background:
Style Variable Editor, find Blocks - blockrow_background Change as you wish.

Don't change usernames or other. that's how its supposed to be.

Installed on 4.22 It says REMOVE TEXT FORMATTING rather than giving option to format?

You should see something like:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1449005356

The 4 buttons to the left of the "Remove Text Formatting" button give you the options for formatting your text. :)

If you see text instead of the "Remove Text Formatting" button, then you need to copy that image to your server. Here is the image (you can right-click and save it):

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1449005546

and then upload it to:

images/editor/

Thank you Mark! That fixed that, but would you believe it knocked out the smiles button?
says smiles and they come up but look funny

Hmm...that shouldn't have happened.

Would you mind posting a link to your site? If guests can view the chat, then I can take a look at the page source.

If a user must be registered and logged in, you could PM login credentials to me so I can look at it. :)

Hi all,

In the installation instructions, theres this line:

The chatbox seems to work without putting in any template. Is this step not needed? How is it showing up without adding this to the template?

If its not needed, does adding it to the template provide any benefits?

This is if you want to show Chat and in other places of your forum.
If you don't its not needed... you use "Position on page (Disable if you add ChatBox manually in templates)"

Thanks but that affects more than the background in the Chatbox.

I will use "red" as the background color to which we wish to change. You can add CSS selectors to your "additional.css" template(s)...you will need to do so for each style in which you want the change.

If you wish for this new background color to affect the message input area, add:

If you wish for this new background color to affect the message display area, add:

If you have a lot of styles, and you want the same change to all of them, and you don't have a master parent style with all other styles as children, then let me know and I can give you a plugin that will make the change to all styles (so you won't have to make the edit a bunch of times). :)

Thanks for your help, Mark - very much appreciated. We don't have too many styles that we can't adjust for the background.

The main outstanding issue is with the colour of the date/time and ordinary usernames. Ideally to only affect the Chat and not the rest of the styles (If possible). [Only paying members display their usernames - ordinary members are still in white and thus tend to disappear into the background :D ]

Try something like this then (change "black" to the color you want):

Thank you Sir - that does it a treat ....

Ah !

Whoops.

Spoke too soon, that change prevents messages being posted on the Chat ?! Refresh is Ok, though.

That's odd...I don't understand how a CSS change prevents messages from being posted, and it has no effect on the ability to post messages on my local dev board.

I agree, very strange behaviour - something else may be happening that I'm not aware of.

Thanks again....
