You may edit messages by double clicking on them (If you have permission to do so), delete messages by clicking on the '#' in front of your messages, send a user a private message by single clicking their name, or speed up/slow down the speed messages are typed at by pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrow keys on your keyboard.

For some reason after I updated to the latest version of your mod it made it look like this:



Any help on how to make it look regular would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for this great mod

Some suggestions:
1. A setting to control the default height of the chat box.
2. An archive page to view the older shouts.

Some small fixes:

1. Remove from gcbos.php:

PHP Code:

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 


This is deprecated. vBulletin isn't using this any more.

2. Replace the cache_templates plugin code with:

PHP Code:

$cache[] = 'GCBOS'; 


When caching only one or two templates, this is faster than array_merge().

3. Replace

<script src="clientscript/gcbos.js"></script>

with

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/gcbos.js"></script>

to make it XHTML valid.

4. In the GCBOS template replace

<img src="images/buttons/collapse_40b.png" alt="" title="Collapse this Category">

with

<img src="images/buttons/collapse_40b.png" alt="" title="{vb:rawphrase collapse_this_category}" />

to make it XHTML valid and to phrase it (it's a global phrase, so it works for sure).

5. In the GCBOS template replace

<input type="text" id="gcbos_input" style="width: 92%; height: 19px; margin: 1px;float:left;" autocomplete="off" />

with

<input type="text" id="gcbos_input" style="width: 92%; height: 19px; margin: 1px;float:left;" />

to make it XHTML valid. Autocomplete isn't a valid XHTML attribute. I don't think it's required for the AJAX to function in this case?

6. Hide the notice by default

<div class="forumrowdata">
	<p class="subforumdescription" id="gcbos_notice" style="display:none"></p>			
</div>

and then use style.display = 'block' in the JavaScript to show it when there actually is a notice. This avoids an empty bar.

Now getting script errors seems to be on firefox mostly:
Script: http://xxxxxxx.xxx/forum/clientscript/gcbos.js:1

[pitt34]

When I'm adding a warn I have an error like that:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare gcbos_command_impersonate() (previously declared in /home/frizona/public_html/includes/class_gcbos.php(49) : eval()'d code:22) in /home/frizona/public_html/includes/class_gcbos.php(49) : eval()'d code on line 35

I suppose that it's connected with your modification, so I'm writing here.

[Gamempire]

is it possibile to put this chatbox in the sidebar?
i try but it doesn't look like very well (i think the css should be checked)

is there someone that put the chatbox on the sidebar with success?

[Videx]

How could there possibly be enough room on the side? Especially once you put other things there too.

[MURDOCthePSYCHO]

How can i change the Time shown in the box ? I need a 24 h displayed not am or pm :-)
And is there any news about a smileybox ? My users asked me about this

Many greetings from germany
And thanks for your work

+1 to that as well.
