Ok Strange Error:

On all of my forums, Cyb - Chatbox usually works perfectly fine,
However this time I have a very strange issue, and I cant see why its happening,

When I install: Cyb- Chatbox OR Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics

I cannot navigate to users profiles OR second pages of forums or threads?

I have disabled all other plugins and the same thing happens,
Im running 3.8.3, recently upgraded from 3.7.2
Ive tried using the default theme, create a new theme etc..

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Help :D

Everytime a users uses a BB code for a link or text colour it works fine when u post it but after someone posts after u the BB codes break and appears like:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Nice thank u

SAME problem

Hi is there any update of perhaps having a "Who's Chatting?" function on the forum home?

It's the one thing that would make this mod legendary!

disable if you have the Advanced BBCode Permissions mod

i have a mobile style on my forums and wanted to know how i can exclude this from showing up on it

I got this chatbox installed and working on my system, but there's one problem. I don't want it on my forums pages. I only want it showing on the front page of my vbadvanced cmps. Once I place it on my vbadvanced page, it doesn't work. I had the "loading" error mentioned somewhere. I added the [bburl] stuff as mention, and the "loading" went away, but if I try to post is sits there and hangs at "posting message" only on the cmps page. It works fine on the forums.

I have two sites. One site, it's working perfectly, so I know I set it up properly. The other website it doesn't work in vbadvanced. Both sites are hosted by the same host....

I like how easy it was to install, to think I've been puttin it off. Oh and it's more dynamic and looks cleaner than expected. Good job!

Hi,

I love your addons a lot!
Would it be possible to add a function, that in the chatbox certain usergroups can NOT take special colors ?

I like to have it this way (as I already do)
Admins have red
Mods have green
SuperMods have Yellow

No other usergroup is allowed to take one of the signalcolors.
Can you somehow integrate this ?

Also I'd like to ask, if you could "check" if VBSeo is running and then to use the VBSeo Rewriterules for the names ?

thx and keep up the work!

I was wondering if it is possible to change the colors for this mod. Change the standard colors is what I want to do.

i did a search and could find anything. i was the disable the img code in the chatbox. is there a way to do that? i would also like to disable the youtube code. people putting that stuff up just ruins the chatbox usage.

I have it blank so it appears on all pages, however I don't want it when you look at PMs etc as people are going to type in the chatbox by accident and it might be a bit embarassing :S

Can anyone help me remove it from this but leave it on all other forums please

Is there a way to change the time from what seems like military time to a different time? Like 5:30 or something

I having problems with the time in the chatbox.
I tried everithing but it still shows up as 16-07, 23:%i
The date and the hour is correct but the minutes don't show up.
Can you help me?

I really don't know.

Quoting myself ^^

Feature requests are taken into consideration when new version is to be released. I must not answer every single question about this...

Great addon! How do i change where it displays? I have a side bar and i want it to be 100% with ABOVE my side bar

Wonderful job,

Thanks very much.

Great job Cyb, keep it up

very good work,is it posible to put a sound when a new message is posted?

how do i make this visible to guests?

How could I make it so the shoutbox itself allows me to view the information that the archive does, like IP, banning, profile, ect.

Edit: It would seem some admins like to have fun. They have copied the link of the ban and pasted it into their url address bar and edited it to other administrator users and banned them. It's really annoying because it doesn't show them banned.

Whenever a new chat is made with a custom color, all previous chats lose their color and display the bbcode tag instead.

Any idea why this is happening?

I tried rebuilding the post cache and it didnt fix it.

this mod killing the server , i try it dor a 5 days and my all server acting to down . i stoop it , all back normal ....
any same case ?!
any fixing ?

It said so in the first few posts ... this mod kills servers if you have a few hundred people online at the same time.

oh . its make my server slow . and i have only 70users , and about12 who can see the chat box .
i thing its make server slow , cuz always (updating)
or its wrong only with me ?
any tip JORDAN

TO INFORM U ., my vps 1gbram

It also depends if your on a dedicated server or shared with many other sites. On a shared server your sites performance is directly affected by other sites that are on the server and how much system resources they use. Looks like your site just using a tiny bit more is throwing the performance off.

If I delete some of the chatbox entires, does it delete them from everyones view or just mine as the admin? Also if it holds 100 messages at default or whatever number it is, does that mean it will be full and not work, or does it drop the last post and cylces?

I am just trying to grow my forums and wonder if this mod is not good for a bunch of users at one time?

Deleted messages are deleted for everyone.

You can not limit by number of messages, but time period.
Messages older than X hours are automatically deleted.

Cyber, any idea why this is happening?

Thanks so much. You are the greatest thing to happen to forums.

Some users reported that this happens with some "advanced bb code" hack installed.

Cybernetec,
Good day!

Without ChatBox
https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/external/2009/07/24.jpg

Here is an error that I am getting ... I am receiving this via email from vBulletin (site) ....

What I have figured out is that it is the Smiley Box that is built into the Chatbox ... I disabled the Smileys and have not received an error from vBulletin.

Database error in vBulletin :

Ah thanks. I have that hack installed. I'll try removing.

Update: It fixed it! <3 Cyb

250 Gig UNIX Dedicated Server only Running two vBulletin Sites, with unlimited bandwith. I think not.

Is there a way for this mod to have an audible alert when an IM is entered.

What's the CPU and how much memory does it have? Just because the hard drive is big and you have unlimited bandwidth doesnt mean your site will run fast. Is it a server level processor? or desktop level?

First of all, thx for this great hack.
Is it possible to show the "Chatbox Full"-Content on a new vBadvanced page?
I use it as a module now, but it does not show the same content like online users.
I have 3 Pages (portal, forum & chat) with the same Ads in the left collum and the content in the center collum, so I don't want to link to misc.php because my ads are not shown.
I need something like index.php?pageid=chat and this should show the same content as misc.php?do=cchat.
I did a workaround with an iframe for now but I don't like this solution.

How can I restrict access of bots to the chatbox to avoid extra load and also to maintain keyword density

thanks

any way to make the "Refreshing Messages" flasher disapear. It's really annoying and making my forum jump up and down when it refreshes.

Otherwise the shoutbox is GREAT!

There's no sounds when sombody respond in chatbox?

anyone know if it's possible to have a shout made by a bot user automatically made every so many shouts...

.......anyone? I really don't want to have to uninstall this one, but I might have to as it makes the whole forum jump up and down when it refreshes.

Is it possible to allow Guests to post?

I am having a problem, all of the sudden today I have had 15 to 20 of these that stay on the site for the same time and then disappear:

Guest Viewing ChatBox Archive
ChatBox Archive 174.129.193.77
28 Minutes Ago Guest Viewing ChatBox Archive
ChatBox Archive 66.249.71.154
28 Minutes Ago Guest Viewing ChatBox Archive
ChatBox Archive 67.60.199.226
28 Minutes Ago Guest Viewing ChatBox Archive
ChatBox Archive 71.42.141.231


As you can see they are from different IP's and seem valid. Is there a common solve for this?

This is amazing. We are using it for our staff meetings.

Thank you.

auto-refresh is not working. /ponder

Is there a reason my mods can't prune? I have it set so usergroups 5,6,7 can mod it but my mods can't see the prune all option.

another question, how can I make it so that when images are insterted here via BB Code, they are automatically re-sized.

any idea why i get "Invalid Action Specified" on this mod and your newposts mod
on vbgallery mate? :confused:

Thanks

All my messages dissapeared on the box and the archive :S


http://www.chattaboxforums.com

is this mod no longer being supported????

"Delete All Messages" option is available to Admins only.
There is no easy way to do this.
Messages may be deleted manually by your Mods, or they expired (check "auto-prune" setting in product options).

I set the chat box so it appears on every page. I totally forgot how I did this. So how do I set it to just appear of the my forum page?

This is a great hack, have it installed on my board and working fine.
Just one small issue, in vBadvanced if i click on name of user it takes to an error page:

Not Found

The requested URL /member.php was not found on this server.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

the link is pointing here:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

instead of here:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

any ideas on how to fix this?

thanks

After a long period of perfect performance, ChatBox will no longer remove the "Message..." text when clicking within the input box. This occurred when I tested on multiple machines and browser platforms. This problem exists on the full page version as well. Any ideas?

This hack is AWESOME, but can you please include an option to remove ":: Refreshing Messages" every time new messages are listed. It gets VERY repetitive lol.

Thank you!

I deleted the snippet of code which creates this message as a temporary fix, but consequentially the prompt is no longer displayed. Many members are confused as to how post a chat message and this text directed them accordingly. Any ideas?

This appears to be the result of a conflict created by the latest version of Keyboard Navigator. I created a corresponding post there.

How can we make this Chatbox run smoother, it seems to take a lot of server CPU power.

Using this on my forum now and it is going down very well, thank you for the hard work. I'm installing a few of your mods at the moment - all very handy.

1) My only complaint about the chatbox is that when the box refreshes it bounces down to the last post, this makes reading previous posts very difficult, can this be fixed?

2) Is it possible to monetise this chatbox? Given that say 30 people could be chatting at a given time and it is refreshing every 10 seconds it would be very cool for this to have a banner tied in that could be plugged into AdSense... don't you think?

Thanks again for all the work!

Lol chill out bro

Cyb mate any info on why i am getting this
Cheers

Posted this in the 3.7 thread, before I noticed a 3.8 one :)

Anyway, figured it out and also modified the chatbox to hide the archive from unregistered guests.
Reason for the latter being that people seem to be using it as if it were IRC, and occasionally say things they probably don't want to show up on google.





Remove moderator 'delete all posts' button
Removing the following code in the cyb_chatbox template:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Add conditional to block unregistered and other usergroups from chatbox archive
Find the following code in the cyb_chatbox template:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Replace with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Replace 1/10/100 with your preferred usergroup numbers (for example unregistered, coppa, awaiting email moderation and banned).





This issue's still there though. I reckon it has something to do with session length, but I'm not sure.

And I also found out that so called 'censored words' are properly processed on all cyb chatbox pages, but the 'replacement variables' are only applied at the chatbox archive. We use replacement variables on our board as a more creative way of censoring certain offensive words (replacing them with the exact opposite being my favourite), and for some reason these aren't processed on the 'forumhome' mini chatbox - showing them in full glory instead.

It's designed that way, if you want to scroll further down you should use the chatbox archive :)
Alternatively, go to your admin CP -> vB options -> Cyb - chatbox, and change the following two values: "Messages to show in ChatBox/ChatBox Full" and "Message listing area height (ChatBox Full)" to something higher.

I have had several members tell me they thought the link on the navbar that reads "Chatbox Full" indicates the chat room is full of people and no more may enter (they are emphasizing the "Full"). How do we change the navbar item to just read "ChatBox" or "ChatBox Open"?

admin CP -> languages and phrases -> search in phrases -> chatbox full -> the right phrase should be in the search results. Replace with "click me", "turnip" or whichever other term you prefer.

Is there still no way to have private chat with this chatbox?

this is the turkish language file for this mod ;)

This is getting to be a real problem!

Could someone help me figure out how to make the chat box open as a vbulletin page by itself?

Hey Cyb or anyone,
I have a quick question. I've been using this mod for months now but can't seem to figure out how to get rid of spiders accessing it when I have it to guest view. Several hundred at a time. This isn't a DDOS attack of some sort is it? I ask because I've noticed that my bandwidth is excessive over the past few months.

Thanks

Yea i get this not hunderds as my site is small but like 10-30 looking in the Archive

Attachment 103218

install the 3.7 version it works :up:

You can configure which usergroups have full, readonly and no access in the cyb - chatbox options... "Usergroups NOT able to view Shoutbox (comma separated ID list)" - just add everyone else.

As for the search engine spiders, not a clue why they flock to the archive but there's a hack to block their access in my previous post from a couple of days ago.

Is there a way to remove the chat box from certain styles? I have a mobile style that I don't want the chatbox to show on.

Problem: on firefox only "loading..." ist shown instead of the messages,
tested with version 2.0.0.20

IE seems to work. What is the problem ?

Hey!

Is there a way for me to change <phrase name="cybcb_chatbox_note"><![CDATA[Ask your questions in the forums. The ChatBox is for small talk.]]></phrase> to show a paypal donate button [with form]?

When you do it in the vb template, it uses the form method post. But so does the shoutbox... So it doesn't link off, it just posts the message in the box.

High quality product - many thanks, Cyb!:up:

I had that problem using vBa and not loading... I managed to fix the issue with it just sitting as loading by adding "$vboptions[bburl]/" before "misc.php" which seemed to resolve that however when you click on the username it does not follow the correct path... I tried adding "$vboptions[bburl]/" before all the member.php I could find in the templates but that made no difference... any suggestions? it should be going to .net/forum/member.php?u=... but it goes to .net/member.php?u= ... any suggestions? Its fine on the main forum page, just on the index of vBa it gives me that issue.

Big thanks!

Does anyone have a bigger list of font colors that I can use?

Thanks

Nevermind. I figured it out!

Thanks - Installed

is there a way to limit the amount of characters? i want less then 255




NEVERMIND

Found it

Hi everybody,

Is there a way to add sound effect on posting like MSN messenger ?

Thanks,,

You could modify the cyb_chatbox template, add the url there. Find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Replace with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

great mod
one small feature >>> we need a sound to indicate any new messages

thank u installed

Hi, I'm using vBadvanced and have a question.

I use ChatBox with the Full feature, (on a separate page from the forums) and have been asked by my members to add a module beside my forum page to show who is chatting. Just like the active chatters below the ChatBox. That way they can see friends in there without having to actually go there and wait to see who shows up.

Is it possible to create a template module to do this?

Many thanks in advance...

I think the ChatBox has a bug. If you have it on and you browse the forum on IE, you will find out the forums are not shown. This is the error:
HTML Parsing Error: Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed (KB927917)

Installed and working like a dream on all pages of my site, one of the easiet mods to install!
Thankyou! :)
