You mean totally disallow ? No it's not possible.

What you can do is avoid url to be parsed and thus not being replaced by links but that's all.

By the way there is no good way to avoid users to post urls as for example you could be able to remove an url like this :
http://***************
but if the user add spaces :
ht ttp://***************

Then it won't be removed... Do you see what I mean?

As it is already (half) announced I was wondering if MGC Chatbox Evo could have/use a similar font, fontsize, and fontcolour menue as used with vB perhaps?
Or if it would be easily possible to adjust this?

It already does.

okay like having asked you in skype and you was not sure about this, i'll post it here, so that you will not forget it. ;)

Is it possible to give a usergroup only the permissions to delete their own shouts?

In that case I?m not really sure if we?re talking about the same thing, since it isn?t at vb-hacks.org.

I understand it can?t be 100% identical, but if the global experience of the dropdown menus would match (or at least having the fonts menu the same height as the size and color menu) this would be great.

Yes but that won't be in the next release which is closed for coding (currently being translated in different languages).

No we weren't talking about the same thing.

It's not possible to make it match the menu in the post creation as these are wysiwyg things being part of vB js stuff. And I am not allowed to copy paste their code on those parts you now (copyright issues).

Hi,

I would like to completely uninstall the chatbox and reinstall it again, including all tables in the database. Physical files are ok, I can delete them no probs, but I'm not sure what to delete in the database, can anyone give some pointers please?

Thanks! :)

If you uninstall the product, tables will be removed :)

Hello,

I want to make the translation to spanish for this chat.

Do i translate the 1.1.0 langfile? or, can you send me the next version's langfile?

BTW, when will come the next version?

Thanks.

VBdev should have the newest file to translate. He should reply shortly. Next release should be out soon. No date has been sent, but I'd expect it within next 2 weeks.

Thank for your help proposal.

However someone has already offered me his help for the spanish translation.

Next release is indeed due soon, you can see it working on my forum : www.forumcoding.com (beta test phase).

When I collapse the chatbox, i can't see the shouts any more (on your forum, vBDev ;))
Maybe a bug? Or a feature? :D

Will this copyright stay under the chatbox? :o

When I do so I see the shouts. What do you meant by can't see the shouts ?

Which browser were you using ?

About the copyright, yes this will stay.

Does the post action box on the right of the chats box belong to MGC Chatbox (at forumcoding)? If you collapse the chatbox, those actions are not hidden (IE7).

I see the collapsed chatbox (as a guest) like this:

:( is there a way to get a copyright-free chatbox ?

Nice Chatbox !

I am currently using my own Shoutbox (code based on an oooooooooooold shoutbox for vb 3.5 with severals improvements) but i may consider switching to MGC Chatbox Evo one day :)

Some requests tho' :

- About dating : an option using the vB "Yesterday" date format would be cool, instead of displaying always a date. Another option to disable date display (only displaying hours:minutes) for the chats of the day would help making display clearer.

- About defaut channel : would be nice to have more flexibility in there. E.G. when Chatbox is displayed on some pages, it displays Chan 1 as the default one. But on another it can display Chan 2 (or whatever) by default.

- About channels display : what about a mode "display all at once" (with permission checking of course) that would display all chats from all channels but with a different color for each channel. Messy for chatboxes with heavy activity but helpfull for chatboxes with low activity.

Yes it's a new feature. I will add other actions in later chatbox versions (we could imagine having arcade actions, and so on ;)).

By not hidden what did you meant ?

Seems like perhaps there is a bug in the sql retrieval query, I'll look into it.

About the copyright free, I perhaps will release a branding free version (non free one). The add of this copyright is, as you might imagine, to state whom work it is (as every copyright is ;)).

It's possible to hide the date from the chatbox (as well as the time but less usefull lol).

About the Yesterday thing, why not but not sure it's that useful ? (Unless others are interested).

It's an intersting idea. How do you see this handled ?

Adding in the channel definition the THIS_SCRIPT var content for example as for the show on defined pages option.

I don't see how this mod would be handled. Like a button you push to set the chatbox in display all at once mode ?

I think I meant the same as entertain. If you are viewing your forum as a guest and you click the collapse icon, the chats (messages the users have posted in the chatbox) disappear, but the new feature is still visible. It still shows user x replied to thread y, etc.

A suggestion I have for the Chatbox is to display the date with the Today and Yesterday mode.

So all chats made today would be something like:
Today 10:48 PM Emisand: Hello

It could be made, by adding this: $vbulletin->options['yestoday'] when using vbdate() function.

I think it's normal cause the new features makes notifications still being chats but just separated when the chatbox is expanded.

But it's strange coz it seems like it's all the time. I'll look into fixing it.

Yes I know that ;) But I won't use that option as I want it to be separated from default vBoptions, as the date formats are.

I am anyway adding it to the todo list.

Is there anyway to increase the length of the chats (scroll) to appear?

oh ok i think i got it thanks! will make a donation :)

donated!

btw, how many users before it will start to lag?

Thanks to solidlink for his donation !

The number of user shouldn't make it lag. It's not dependent of number of users online.

But rather to refresh rate.

I have a porblema, introducing characters like ñ or Lestra accented à è ì ò ù chat does not answer me, it is like frozen, which may be due to this?

I understand :nodding disappointed: :D

Would it be possible/do you know where to edit the height of the [Fonts] drop down menu instead perhaps? Just to give it the same height as the font-height and font-color menu?

Also, do you perhaps know how to get rid of both the left and right bracket around [Fonts]?
I've been looking in both the templates and phrases, but I seem to be overlooking them.

I have gone through the instructions in the install but, I don't see the chatbox anywhere on my site... I have a custom style but, I also did the instructions for that section as well... I even changed it back to the default style and still don't see it. Any ideas?

Check your user group permissions...

You have to define user groups, that able to view/use Chatbox.

As far as I remember, permissions are not predefined by installation.

LOL I just figured that out... One more question I have it embedded on forum home but, it increases the size of my page (width) too much. I have set a 200px size on it but, it doesn't seem to help... Any other ideas?

Nevermind got that fixed too...

Last question... to the far left of each message is the word submit Query. How can I change that to an image instead of just the word...?

It's normally not a word. Can you please make a screenshot ?

here you go...

It's seems like the menu_open.gif gif is missing in your forum style

You have to add the vB default image or make a copy of the one used on your forum and rename that copy to menu_open.gif.

I looked and that file is in there...

where is that icon set at?

Look at the chatbox, right click above "Submit Query" and then click at properties.
Then at Image properties there you get the image address.
So check if you have the image in that address, if not, upload it there.

already tried that but, I don't get properties by right clicking on that icon for some reason...

Gimme a sec. I think I figured it out. I'm creating an account now to view. I'll tell you the account so you can delete it then....
