I have one problem with this mod:

1. usergroup permissions don't work. You have to ban the group to prevent them from access alltogether.

other than that, great mod

I had an idea for a new feature in future versions of vBChat, which I think is a great program! What about a way to tell when someone has posted a new message or joined the room when you have the chat room minimzed or you are viewing another window in Internet Explorer? Same as you would when you receive a new message in MSN Messenger and the icon flashes until you restore or maximize the window again. Would this be possible?

The problem is worse than that. If you have secondary usergroups whom you restrict access to private rooms, that doesn't work either.

Well, if ZT decides to implement a sound when a new member enters the chat, then you will have your alarm.

I've posted a thread here, which shows changes that you can do, to have a sound playing, every time a new user logs in, but they are not complete and I would prefer if you wait for ZT to implement this feature, my version is a ... hack of his hack, to cover my user needs. I haven't tested it if the chat window is minimized, but it works OK, if it is resized to a very small size. Then when you hear the sound, you just make it larger.

I Moved This Question To the Proper Support Thread



I have and upgrade problem. Not sure what I have gotten wrong. Sorry to bother agian Zero but was wondering if you could tell me what I have done to get this error code when I try to run the install. I am just upgrading my public forum to 3.7. (thought it was but wasn't ;) )

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL: alter table vbchat_datastore
add `d_groupperms` text not null default ''
mysql error: Duplicate column name 'd_groupperms'

mysql error number: 1060

I have checked everything and I just can't find my mistake. Thanks kindly for the help.

PS if there is a support thread someplace I missed it, sorry and please move me to that thread if it is there.

It's trying to add database fields that already exist - You don't need to run the install program again just to upgrade your forum to 3.0.7 - just re-do the file edits.
