another nice feature would be to always have the shout input at top this way if you scroll down it still stays at the top for example if you set it to 25 shouts to show and you look at the last shout you cant type in the box cause it will scroll up too.

Updated, version 1.5

- Show Time? now correctly removes time from messages. When it does, mouseover the user name will show the time.

- Added automatic URL parsing. Requires BBCode to be enabled.

- Added hide refresh button option, good if you have a low refresh interval.

- Added option to change the image smilies button into a normal button, same as send and refresh.

- Added Banned Users option.

- Input buttons now use the correct button CSS class.

- Added cron files to the zip file, auto prune and auto post, the instructions to use them are in cron/cron.txt

Awesome!

*upgraded*

Hope you figure out the IE7 issue.

Noticed a bug in the URL auto parsing.

If you type something like this: Click here!

you get this: http://[url]http://www.mysite.com[/url]

use this one and try for me please

Small, easy on the server, simple....

Brilliant.

Thanks :)

I updated the zip file, updated chatbox.php only, fixed the bug arco found.

Also updated the instructions to the chatbox on the top. The collapse image should be correct now.

Perfect!
All good now. :up:

Can anyone having problems with IE7 test it with this chatbox.php

All works fine in my board so I can't test it

Just curious only.Is there any major difference between this mod and the vbshout2.1 flatfile shoutbox?I'm using IE7 too.

By the way,great job and thank you Dream.:up:

*Clicks install :)

I'm not sure about v2.1, but v2.0 has an auto refresh interval set to 10 seconds, hitting your server every 10 seconds per person using the chat.

This mod you can set the refresh to whatever you like, and it has a refresh button.

I'm not sure what else to tell you, as I didn't use vBShout, but maybe someone else can.

Thanx for this Update, this is the best Shoutbox i ever seen.

I have a idea at the moment, is there a way to allowed administrators put small flashanimation with sound in this shoutbox??

I find the Time disabled only for guest is good. Is there a way to do this or for the next Update activated for Usergroups.

anyone else has isssues with the auto announcer ?

"PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in d:\webscv\sites\site1\forum\includes\cron\chatbox_ autopost.php on line 19"

it would be nice if there was a delete button in the box so that messages can be deleted without going to the admin panel

There should be an X between the username and message you can click to delete messages.

No change sorry.

But I think I'm on to something here. While looking through the "Advanced Internet Options" in IE7, I noticed this option: Enable native XMLHTTP support
It was enabled, so I turned it off. Now the first message entered appears as it should, but any message typed after that doesn't appear unless you do a full page refresh. I can also see that the chatbox does some kind of refresh at my set intervals, but the messages just doesn't appear. :confused:

would be nice to have it so when a smiley is clicked it will auto close the popup of smilieys and another button to clear the text of the input incase they want to erase what they wrote in there kinda like vbshout but other then that so far looking good

yeah I am seeing the error on internet explorer also. here is the error. well that is when you click the smilieys button.

also with refresh turned off in admincp and hide button turned off it refreshes the shout on the user who posted the messages screen but not on no one else's until they refresh the page so right now its pretty much a non ajax version the way it is..

Attachment 64109

lol I erased 2 shouts when testing with internet explorer and firefox and when I hit the refresh button on the shoutbox they came back..

how do I make the field bigger? I have many users using thin but it only allows to see about 3 shouts at a time... I would like to see at least 20 with out scrolling? Thanks

also is there a way to switch it so where you type is on the bottom?

If you create a BBCode for Flash you can.

Hmm why would you want to do this?

Can you post your autopost options?

Theres an option for moderator usergroups in the chatbox options that should show an X in each message to delete them.

You need to edit the forumhome template edit HTML.

There's an option for this in the chatbox options.

You can do this by editing chatbox.php, find

// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################

after that, add

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0) { $showtime = 0; }

so Dream any reason why the ajax version is pretty much useless right now?

It works perfect for me.

thanks i got everything right? 1 more question how do I get rid of the time? everytime someone shouts it says the time right before the name? is there a way to eliminate that? also are the members able to post pictures in the box? is there a setting for that? thank you for all your help!!!!

ajax dont refresh for other users it does however for the user who posted. log in 2 names on your test site or where ever you have it installed and try you will see. did you read my post about the error and when you hit the refresh button?

Theres a setting to show time in the chatbox options, also there is a setting to parse [ img ] tags.

Yes I can't replicate your delete message bug, but the bug with IE7 not refreshing I'm working on it.

if you say delete messages with admin on firefox and hit the refresh button with a name as moderator on internet explorer you will see the messages come back not a big deal when the refresh button is off cause they cant hit the refresh button only thing im trying to find out is why it wont refresh the messages auto(ajax) when say another moderator post. I have to refresh the whole page in order to see there post.

Is it possible to hide the chatbox completly for different usergroups? not just only the messages?

greets

I think I get what you are saying. If you delete messages in one browser, they won't disappear in the other if you have the page already loaded. This was done to save resources, the chatbox only gets the new messages, not the whole list of messages again.

That would need template conditionals.

How can i do this? ;p

I just want it for usergroup 6 and 7 to show

Not sure right now, I'm sure someone would reply to you in the vBulletin programming discussion forum.

i cant seem to find it.. am i lookin in the right place

vbulletin options>vbshout options

No its vBulletin Options >> Chatbox Options

Show Time?
and
Enable [ img ]?

i dont have chatbox options only vbshout options

Did you install this mod? Did you import the product file?
