Does Video BBC code work with it to embed YT videos in the chat?

Edit: figured it out. Thanks for this Awesome chat that does not cost a Ton of Money and a monthly sub.

I'm sure more than a few of us are interested. What did you have to do, and is there a site we can look at to see it in action?

The concept sounds silly to me. Even if you could resize the video window on the fly so it fit in the chat box, wouldn't a few comments push it out?

update.. tried removing that line of code from the post above mine and it has cured the problem.

I am having the same issue and removed the above code today. I hope it works. How long did it take for your guest number to drop?

Also, I removed the code from vsa_chatbox_archive_bit but it says to remove the code from "vsa_chatbox_archive_bit and vsa_chatbox_archive_bit" They are the same template and I looked for the code in vsa_chatbox_dropdown template mentioned but it wasn't there to be removed.

For some reason the images for the text format and smilies are no visible. Any suggestions? I am currently using version 4.2

huskermax · #**2466** 07-14-2012, 08:09 PM

Will you set this mod up to work with vb5 if you can?

I'm having this issue as well.

Sangheili · #**2468** 07-15-2012, 05:04 PM

I just did a new installation of 4.2 and a lot of the files in /images/editor have either been moved or are missing, I have downloaded again from the member's area and the files still aren't there. I'm not sure if this is intended or not. But if you get the images from an older version, pre 4.2 the images are there so just upload them into the editor folder and the 2 missing images will work.

orangefive · #**2469** 07-15-2012, 07:34 PM

Ive upgraded to 4.2.2 from 4.1.12 and working, ive got a dark theme so added this to additonal.css and thats working spot on for the chat input

.textbox, textarea, select {
background-color: #1A1A1A;
border: 1px solid #5B5B5B;
color: #CCCCCC;
}

but when I go to start a new thread or reply advanced when I enter text its like this - its ok if you change the box to enter the content.

I can ussually figure stuff out but this has me beat.

orangefive · #**2470** 07-15-2012, 08:54 PM

Ive had to change the additional.css now, background : black and colour : white.

We can hardly see what test is going in when posting, is there another way to change the background colour on text input as its back to white text in a white box.

I just installed the chatbox on my forums....when I went to access my forums after installation, the forums would not work. I disabled the mod in the admincp and the forums were back. Why is this happening?
