MARK AS INSTALLED to get support and updates.

[Dr. Bantham]

I have a suggestion for a new feature. My site allows for a choice among (11) vBulletin styles in all, varying widely from light to dark background colors and textures. My members commonly use the text color selection within Cyb ChatBox, as it allows for source distinction and has proven to be a very popular feature. Unfortunately, some colors might prove to be illegible when viewed in certain styles.

My suggestion? Add a button to toggle between a "plain text" and "colorized" mode. If you switch to "plain text" mode, all messages are parsed and displayed in the stock text color for the appropriate style. The preferred mode could be stored as a cookie or member setting. The button would allow for a quick switch if you suddenly see text being typed in a color which is not visually compatible with your chosen style. I think this would be a great feature for those of us implementing multiple styles!

I did small modification to the script.

Message entering field is now shown below chat area.
Message entering field height is fixed to 60pixel.
I add "Submit message" button to between "B I U" and smiley buttons. ("Enter / return" key is still usable).
I add an option to open the chat page in new window browser. No more miss the chat while surfing forum

See pics attached.


*Sorry do NOT PM me asking for the file, I would NOT release it nor sharing before I got permission from Cyb *

Sorry to hear that Sykko. Have you PM'd Cyb? Or asking in Acrade support? Maybe they can help you out

[TJ3]

Any big forums using this? How much CPU suckage is going one?

Questions / feature requests:

Is there a way to limit the characters you can enter in the textarea? (flood control)

Is there a way to limit the amount of times somebody can post? eg once per hour?

Thanks

[Feckie (Roger)]

OK to get working in Arcade (ibProArcade) you need to edit,

/arcade/functions/functions.php file..

Find:

global $header,

Add After:

$cybchatbox,

that should do it

[tigrattack]

I had been looking for a shout/chat that I could customize for only staff to see it while also running my regular shoutbox.

I placed it directly under the shout I have now...it's perfect, staff can discuss and address ongoings while still watching the shout.

Very nice work man. :up:

Thanks
