How to show this Chat Box on all the pages? means i want the chat box inside my threads and topics, CMS, Blog

Thanks for the Mod, excellent

JabirA · #**2503** 08-02-2012, 12:38 AM

You dont want to do that. Its going to kill your server

Scyther · #**2504** 08-04-2012, 04:30 AM

can we have a feature like, ' Minimum posts needed per day to access chatbox'??

This will help in keeping the forum live and members would have access to chatbox too..

Videx · #**2505** 08-04-2012, 09:56 AM

That's an interesting thought, although on slower forums "minimum posts in the last x days" would make more sense. I suppose one may as well add "maximum posts per last x days" at the same time.

Of course, I can imagine people would just add useless nonsense replies to get the minimum if they were really that talkative in the first place.

we're getting strange errors out of the blue. its been working fine for months but a few of our admin are having issues when they edit their responses in the Chatbox.

See if you can narrow it down to which specific mod is causing the problem. Try disabling all of them, or at least the ones you installed last, then enabling them one by one.

Just in case others not wanting anyone to see the list of banned users, here's how I hid it from certain usergroups.

Templates -> Valter -> vsa_chatbox_dropdown

Find:

PHP Code:


			
<vb:if condition="($vsacb_banlist)">

            <li style="color:{vb:stylevar popupmenu_color};text-align:{vb:stylevar left};font-weight:normal;">{vb:rawphrase vsacb_banned_list}<vb:if condition="$vsacb_canmod"> ({vb:rawphrase vsacb_unban})</vb:if></li>

            <li id="vsacb_bannedarea" style="max-height:150px;overflow:auto;">

                {vb:raw vsacb_banlist}

            </li>

        </vb:if>

        </vb:if>

Around that wrap the conditional tag:

PHP Code:


			
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, x, y, z)">...</vb:if>

where x,y,z are a list of the usergroups allowed to view the list of banned members. Anyone not on that list by default shouldn't be able to see it.

usually the way i would approach this but since it only affects 2 of our admins, it could take a while. i had one of the guys who is having this problem to use different browsers, still no go. i've tried disabling the last two addons that were installed, did not help. and those addons were installed quite a while ago anyways, long before this issue.

lastly, i've uninstalled and re-installed the Chatbox, did not fix this.

How do I change the background color of the highlighted area in the picture attached without changing everything else on my site? I just want this bar a different color.
