MARK AS INSTALLED to get support and updates.

first

Installed :P

but i'm using 3.6.10 will it work?

Third...although I have a problem with it. When clicking on a users name it states that they're not registered.

nice...i love the way you divide it into 2 part :)

cool much apprciated:up:

Cool!!! :cool:

*Installed*

Tested and working with 3.6.10 too.

Installed it but it just says "loading...." and won't accept any messages.

I just updated to the most recent vbull. I'm about to update.

*installed*

But it isn't working correctly. I'm still getting the security token error. I've upgraded to the gold 3.7.0 version -- I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled the chat box but I still get the error ETA: It works ok in Internet Explorer, but gives the security token error for *some* foxfire users (myself included)

any fixes?

How do you upgrade to the 2.0.

thnxx :) installed :)

Im getting the same thing :(

same when i go to the archive page and try to delete a users shoutbox post

Good work
I want this Hak

Installation was

Hey,

is there any chance that you can enable replacement variables in the chatbox? I would like to change the color of the users depending per style using replacement variables.

Thanks!

Looks good! Will give a try! :)

Disabled for now since server loads raised from 0.30 to almost 2.00!

Wont work in FireFox

I unistalled the older version and then installed the version 2.0 and its working fine :)

Thx for this wonderful chatbox <3

yeah! good notice! :)

thanks cyb i love your hacks!

how you check the server load?

with this great mod. easy to install ,easy to use, no file modifications.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82900

still working on my 3.7 gold!

and of course with ssh :)

-top

yes, I did the same thing, and it works in internet explorer, but not for users using firefox.

i have installed te new vBulletin 3.7.0 and this version of this chatbox and i have too this error!


thanks!


i solve this with this cod <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
in acp--styles and templates---find in templates i have wrote chatbox them i have go in cyb_chatbox_archive_bit and put the cod in the end and work fine!!


P.S-Sorry my english!!

Works perfect here with FF.

-Revert hack templates if any modified.
-Ensure that all vBulletin files are replaced during last upgrade (to 3.7 Gold).

Cyb,

I did both of those things -- everyone of my templates has been reverted and I did a full install on the 3.7 gold version before installing this update. When I access the chatbox from IE it works fine, but when I use FF I get the security token error. At least two other members of my site are having the same problem.

Anything else I should change?

i solved my problem as described in the topic on top!:cool:

As an update, I completely uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and it is now working with Firefox too.

merhaba arkadaşlar siteme kurdum ancak açık falan varmıdır ??

how would I move the box to its own page? I know I would add this: $cybchatbox

But how would I make a blank vb page to put it on?

Check this out.


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...rum+Rules+Page

You realize however, that It comes with a built in full page chat option, right?

Please add to the Install-Instructions:

Insert : $cybchatbox in any Place you like to move the Chatbox to another Place then the ones in the AdminCP.

ahhhh many thanks guys

thanks velias works great =)

Thanks it works now after downloading file again, members love it

Can U tell me some commant for this ChatBox? :)

Will this work with vBadvanced? I tried creating a module with the contents of "$cybchatbox" but that didn't work, as expected.

Any ideas?

EDIT: SO i was able to get the chatbox to appear on the page but just sits there and says "Loading..." on the vBa index page. On the forums index page it works fine.

Any ideas?
