Version 2.0 Features
- Iframe Refresh Abolished
--- The system now uses hidden iframes to gather data, then uses Javascript to transport the HTML to the display iframe, which never reloads, and never flashes white when recieving chat messages or posting, just like any of chat system like MSN etc...

- Users Currently In vBChat Reformatted
--- The display of users is now more formal, showing the there chat status here, also displaying a link to send a private message instead of clicking there username

- Timestamp in messages
--- The timestamp has been put back, it was removed in an earlier release due to the user chat status, however this has been moved to Users Currently In vBChat Display

- vBChat Preferences Redesigned
--- The vBChat Preferences form has been re-designed to be a more neater and easier to use form.

- Smilies Animation Problem
--- Before when clicking to insert an emoticon, the animation of any current ones would come to a complete pause, this has been fixed, you can click on them continually and the animations will continue to play onwards.

- Improved Users In vbChat
--- The users in vbchat display is now more correct, and works towards your forums session cut-off time, where as before it may of displayed a user offline, but still showed them within vBChat, this is no longer a case, improving accuracy more

- Chat Now In Pop Up Window
--- The chat will be displayed as a pop now instead of a normal page, allowing users to chat & browse at the same time

- Inactive Rooms Auto Pruned
--- This is admin controllable, you may set if rooms with inactivity will be auto pruned, you can select from 1 to 24 hours, if rooms havn't had any inactivity in the last x hours, they will automatically be removed.

- Permanent Rooms
--- When admins/smods create a chat room, they have the option to make it permanent, doing this will stop the room from been pruned due to inactivity, the only way to remove it then is via the ACP.

- What Room Are You In
--- The main chat page will now display which room you're chatting within

- Total Users
--- The main chat page will now display the total amount of users currently within that chat room

- User Joining Rooms
--- Upon first joining vBChat, the chat will display: "[user] Joins Room"

- User Changing Rooms
--- Upon changing rooms, the previous room you were in will display "[user] Leaves Room" and the new room will display "[user] Joins Room"

- Exit vBChat Link
--- Upon clicking, chat automatically closes and a message is left in the room saying "[user] Leaves Room"

- /status Command
--- Change your vBChat Status by typing: "/status YOUR STATUS HERE"

- /exit Command
--- Same as the Exit vBChat link, only you may type it in as a command

- vBChat Help
--- Displays all chat commands, descriptions and examples of using them

- Close Chat Window
--- Upon closing the chat window, the system recognizes this and displays a message in the chat saying you have left: "[user] Leaves Room"

Version 2.1 Updates:

- Uncached template "chat_iframe_blank" has now been cached
- Clicking smilies will now enter the code into the post field
- Upon exiting vBChat, your session will be deleted so other users will instantly see you removed from "Users Currently In vBChat"
- Internet Explorer may delete your message half way through typing, this has been fixed

vBChat v2.2 Updates:

- Bug Fix: Window too large upon opening
- Bug Fix: Other vBChat Links Didn't Open Pop Up For vBChat
- Admin CP interface for Usergroup & User banning completely re-designed, no more manual inputting of id's, the system will use a new format to add/remove banned usergroups/users to make it even easier.
- Usergroup Permissions
--- Group Can Create Custom Rooms (Yes/No)
--- Group Can Join Custom Rooms (Yes/No)
--- Group Can Join Permanent Rooms (Yes/No
--- Permissions removed if usergroup is banned
- Upon changing room you are redirected straight to vBChat instead of been stuck at the room select page
- Upon deleting chat rooms (via ACP or Auto Prune) all chat messages inside are deleted for good
- When editing a chat room via ACP you may choose if it is a permanent room or not

vBChat v2.3 Updates:
- Now only 1 refreshing iframe, eliminating a minimum of 8 queries per page refresh, cutting the system resources needed by nearly half!
- Several queries have been optomized, selecting data which wasn't required.
Note: This was a maintenance update, to optomize the system, no new features have been made.

I got the "who's online in chat" to work!

I tried the code posted by manguish, it didn't work either.

Then I looked in the file for the "fresh install" of the chat - THAT code worked!

I'm using 3.0.3, by the way.

cogimo · #**247** 11-11-2004, 08:02 PM

Hi

When I go to edit the index.php file in the root directory, my file looks different. Everything is bold and green is different.

while ($loggedin = $DB_site->fetch_array($forumusers))
{
$userid = $loggedin['userid'];
if (!$userid)
{ // Guest
$numberguest++;
$inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;
}
else if (empty($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity']) OR ($userinfos["$userid"]['lastactivity'] < $loggedin['lastactivity']))
{
$userinfos["$userid"] = $loggedin;
$numberregistered++;
if ($userid != $bbuserinfo['userid'])
{
$inforum["$loggedin[inforum]"]++;
}
$loggedin['musername'] = fetch_musername($loggedin);

if (fetch_online_status($loggedin))
{
$numbervisible++;
eval('$activeusers .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_loggedinuser') . '";');
}
}
}

// memory saving
unset($userinfos, $loggedin);

$activeusers = substr($activeusers , 2); // get rid of initial comma

$DB_site->free_result($loggedins);

$totalonline = $numberregistered + $numberguest;
$numberinvisible = $numberregistered - $numbervisible;

manguish · #**248** 11-11-2004, 08:06 PM

If you aren't using 3.0.3 your code WILL be different and you'll have to manually (ie:yourself) go through the code and replace as necessary.

I had to completely change the who's online bit (for 3.0.0) to get it to work.

Zero Tolerance · #**249** 11-11-2004, 08:14 PM

Okay back at home, updated the download

Those of you having problems with accessing the admin cp, please re-download the zip and re-edit admincp/index.php

Those of you having problems with showing the users online, i updated the edits for index.php so they ask you to find the EXACT code that is in a fresh vb3.0.3 download, if you have modified that area from another hack then im afraid you will have to look at what your told to replace it with and see what's different and attempt to manually change it (Hint: there are two new parts added into the replace)

Sorry for any inconveniance,

- Zero Tolerance

owen100 · #**250** 11-11-2004, 09:18 PM

Zero Tolerance - thanks for your last post; that's fixed the blank page problem with the admincp/index.php file.

Other than that easy to install and will be MUCH appreciated. One thing left though previously mentioned that I can't find a fix for..

Hrm, the smileys are all working on posts etc, but not showing up in the chat.
Is it because I have two groups of smilies? Standard set and a secondary set perhaps?

I have that same problem, I mainly get valid smilies but also random image not found red Xs instead of smilies.

I had to do as ZT suggested and manually edit my index.php to work correctly, and mine looks different than mangusih's yet I also have 3.0.0
