Description

This chatbox was once developped for vB3.6 and has been reported as working by its user so I post it back here !

New version features

The new version contains all the features from the previous version. Description of these versions can be found in Sofia's post in the vB3.6 thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1257510&postcount=3).

Modifications from previous version are the following :

    • Chatbox is shown two times in full page mode when the Display on all pages under the navbar option is selected.
    • "Fermer" is not in a sentence.
    • Overflow problem with Netscape.
    • Uppercase transformed to lowercase in the PM channel.
    • The ban cron debans user indefinitly banned.
    • Chatbox continuously loading on some forums.
    • Inactivity and guests problem.
    • Team icon blinking is not working properly.
    • Coma error in the who is online.
    • 2 spaces instead of one between the date and the time.
  • New functionnalities :
    • Option to deactivate the random smilies.
    • Option to deactivate the automatic PM sending when banning a user.
    • New permission to allow or not the downloading of shouts.
    • Option to specify the name under which unregistered users shouts appear.
    • Syntax change for the /ban, /ignore, /del, /pm commands : Possibility to use them with the username or the userid (For more information about the new syntax, check the help button in the chatbox).
  • Removed functionnalities :
    • vBAdvanced integration [TEMPORARLY] => See this for integration with this version https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=163628

This hack is very light in term of queries : only one for every recharging / refreshment of the chatbox and 5 for the statistics in the load of the page if you actiate them. If you don't activate advanced options of course as stated aside each in the acp :)


Installation

Read the file "Installation" in the pack. They are intended for vB3.6 but applies also for vB3.7 as they have been followed as is by users.

Once the installation is ended, go in usergroups and edit permissions to see the Chatbox.

By default, no group has access to the chatbox.

salut vbdev
sur une instal de vb3.7 neuve ca ne fonctionne pas
j'ai cette erreur lors de la mise a jour des droits des groupes :s

Je pense que tu n'as pas suivit les instructions, tu dois uploader les fichiers d'abord puis importer les deux produits (?? va changer dans la prochaine version pour ?viter les probl?mes, je repasserais ? 1 seul produit).

This is because you haven't followed instructions carefully, you have to upload files first and then import the two products (it will change in the next veresion to avoid those kind of problems, I will go back to one product only).

erff quel boulet j'avais import? qu'un seul produit ca fonctionne nickel :)

Thnaks with all product that works :p

Please post in english only.
