This mod works great and installs super easy.

One request- Can you add some sort of paging command so that you can ask someone to come to the chat room? That would let them know someone wishes to chat with them. It would be super!

Thanks,

Nelson

I have the same problem - any solution for this?

RedPoint · #**2035** 12-19-2011, 08:29 AM

I have the solution from Dorin, the rostyles.com owner - many thanks.

Insert in additional.css this:

Quote:

/* ***** start styling for chat popupmenu ***** */
.blockhead .popupbody li > a { color: #000000;
}
/* ***** end styling for chat popupmenu ***** */

I wish there would be a chat bot with pre-defined messages getting posted every x minutes.
Somebody can do this?

Perfect, it's working

Videx · #**2038** 12-19-2011, 02:23 PM

PHP Code:


			
/* ***** start styling for chat popupmenu ***** */

.blockhead .popupbody li > a { color: #000000; }

/* ***** end styling for chat popupmenu ***** */

That works. But why can't I find an 'additional.css' in my vb package? Anyway, it's found in AdminCP>Styles and templates>Style Manager>edit templates>CSS templates

there are a few out there if you use downloadII there is one ..
if you use ibproarcade
you can do this..

You need to have VSa - Chatbox & ibproarcade installed.

Now create a new bbcode called 'siteurl' with the code
<a href="{option}">{param}</a>
(This makes the game link in the chatbox open in the same window rather than a new one)

Code:

Title = siteurl
BB Code Tag Name = siteurl
Replacement = <a href="{option}">{param}</a>
Example = [siteurl=http://www.example.com]Example Web Site[/siteurl]
Decription = This open site urls in the same window rather than the default target="_blank"
Use {option} = Yes
Button Image (Optional) = Leave Blank
Remove Tag If Empty = Yes
Disable BB Code Within This BB Code = No
Disable Smilies Within This BB Code = Yes
Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code = Yes

Ok Now open your root arcade.php file and find

PHP Code:


			
                        // finally update Highscore-Table

                        if ( ($this->arcade->user['id'] != 0) && ($player_score <> 0) )

                        {

                                                $DB->query("UPDATE ibf_games_champs SET ".$db_string." WHERE champ_gid=".$gid);

                            $ginfo['champ_mid'] = $this->arcade->user['id'];

                            $ginfo['champ_name'] = $this->arcade->user['name'];

                            $ginfo['champ_score'] = $player_score;

Add after

PHP Code:


			
// Insert New Chatbox Message

$DB->query("SELECT c.*, g.gcat, cat.password FROM ibf_games_champs AS c, ibf_games_list AS g, ibf_games_cats AS cat WHERE c.champ_gid=g.gid AND g.gcat=cat.c_id AND g.active=1 AND trim(password)='' ORDER BY champ_date DESC LIMIT 0,1");

while( $row = $DB->fetch_row() )

        {

            $newchattxt .= "[color=green]".$row['champ_name']." set a new high score of ".$row['champ_score']." in [/color][siteurl=http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=".$row['champ_gid']."]".$row['champ_gtitle']."[/siteurl]";

                    $vbulletin->db->query_write("

                        INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox

                            (userid, userip, message, dateline, textprop)

                        VALUES ('42', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '".$newchattxt."', ".TIMENOW.", '')

                    ");

        }

// End insert

Then Find

PHP Code:


			
                    if ($player_score <> 0)     // no champ with no result ...

                    {

                                $DB->query("INSERT INTO ibf_games_champs (" .$db_string['FIELD_NAMES']. ") VALUES (". $db_string['FIELD_VALUES'] .")");

                        $ginfo['champ_mid'] = $this->arcade->user['id'];

                        $ginfo['champ_name'] = $this->arcade->user['name'];

                        $ginfo['champ_score'] = $player_score;

Add after

PHP Code:


			
// Insert New Chatbox Message

$DB->query("SELECT c.*, g.gcat, cat.password FROM ibf_games_champs AS c, ibf_games_list AS g, ibf_games_cats AS cat WHERE c.champ_gid=g.gid AND g.gcat=cat.c_id AND g.active=1 AND trim(password)='' ORDER BY champ_date DESC LIMIT 0,1");

while( $row = $DB->fetch_row() )

        {

            $newchattxt .= "[color=green]".$row['champ_name']." set a new high score of ".$row['champ_score']." in [/color][siteurl=http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=".$row['champ_gid']."]".$row['champ_gtitle']."[/siteurl]";

                    $vbulletin->db->query_write("

                        INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox

                            (userid, userip, message, dateline, textprop)

                        VALUES ('42', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '".$newchattxt."', ".TIMENOW.", '')

                    ");

        }

// End insert

example
Change BOTH INSTANCES of 42 in the above code to the value of the userid of the users name you wish to appear in the chatbox. I have a user with id 42 called spam_master who does all the arcade shouting for this addon.

this code was writen by someone here @vb.org
but it was never posted as a mod.. so it's lost ATM
I keep the code on hand .. when I seen it
I forget who wrote it ..
If I find it I will give 100% credit to him for this great addition
