Thank you very much.

Simple and functional! Great!

What are the anti-spam options for this mod? I can't seem to find any.

I'd like to limit the amount of messages/time.

Hi to all.. I'm looking for to do the same things. I searched and I found the Diablotic post but I didn't read any answer...

I tried to change the text in vsacb_chatbox_note but it doesn't seems to work..

EDIT: I have the last version 3.1.8

How can do it please?

Thanks in advance!

The only way I found to do this was search in phrases for "chatBox" and ad to that phrase, it will display in the top bar above the chatbox next to the words chatbox.

Thanks!, in that case all the text is a button but it's no important.. I thinked that the menu would appear at the end of text.. instead it is always at beginning

great! :up:

naveeid · #**2658** 01-12-2013, 10:42 AM

You will have to find where the code begins with the chatbox and then stops

Example: When I start the chatbox code like this:

HTML Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="text-align:left;"><tr><td><br />

		<div class="blockhead" style="height:16px;padding-right:4px;font-weight:bold">
			<span style="float:right;">
				<a class="collapse" style="margin-left:15px;position:static" id="collapse_vsacb_boxswitch" href="javascript:void(0);"><img src="http://www....de" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			</span>
			<div class="popupmenu" style="float:left;">
				<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">ChatBox&nbsp;</a>

and ends with:

HTML Code:

		VSacb_readCookies();
		VSacb_getMessages();
		
		
		
	-->
	</script>

Great chat, just one question - how can I add a beep when a new message is posted?

Buried way back in the thread someone actually figured that out. But it was a lengthy kluge and it was probably on a dedicated server. This mod was just never designed as a full feature chat solution.

There are a few around though ($). Try Dragonbyte: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/vbeco...ct&productid=2
