ChatBox II - v1.5+ - Support and Feedback

Aaron2,

One other thing about the problem you ran into.

I made it so the IF it's not using custom colors, or users can select it, it would use the color of the class smalltext as you can see in the CHATBOXSTYLE. If smaltext is already defined in your theme.css or another css, you could edit the default color there. That's the best option IF you don't want to turn on the custom colors.

If it isn't defined, you could always define it yourself in the theme.css and set the color and other attributes.

I am considering redo'ing the chat2.php page so that it looks more like the layout of the chatpage. This way you can go through all the posts and either , edit, delete, or ban user. Not just block the one post.

this along with the other fixes mentioned above would be next release, but none are urgent.

erm the way the old chatbox used to do it was to make the unregistered peoples names a brighter color or something so you can see if they are or not

Hello,

First of all thank you 4 this plugin!

I have a question: it is possbile to include this chabox to the radio plugin ? [-link-]

I want that people listen music, chat togheter and maybe make life song requests

noticed a bug, if you have basic chatbox set the user colors do not save to the database.

Also it may be nice in the next version to get it to check in the admin that the Muted class is there, if not display a message to set it.

Other than that its looking great !!

hi, I've tried to do this myself but to be honest its beyond me! Please help...

I need the chatbox to be a horizontal layout, below is the kinda layout I was aiming for:



Any help would be greatly appreciated...

not thought about the mute button, maybe that could go before the emote one then is sound is not set as on it just leaves a gap between the input box and the emote button

There is some minuses that i dont like:

1. There isnt auto refreshing
2. There shows Updating!, no new posts and ect.
3. When posting alerts a message ERROR: noerr

liuxxius

See if the same problem happens on chatpage.php

Also, if you upgraded, clean out your cache. Changing versions will temporarily cause problems.

The ERROR: noerr should be fixed in latest, but if you want to leave a link, I can come look.

Dresh,

I can't customize this to match everyones view. I commented the code and left it straight-line so if you know php and follow the code, you can see where it's laid out in the bottom.

$texto is users online
$textm is the menu (message area and controls)
$textc is the chat
$textr is the remaining post link

So, chatpage.php would be the file to edit, and customize by moving them around, or recreating each one individually. You want to deal with $textm.

I spend 3 months on this, and didn't get a donation. I did get about 10 thanks though.

I had hoped for better, so that I could do a few more plugins, (gambling related, ladder system (better than my basic TMS), and a few others, but I can't afford to. 3 months on this, and a month or so on Sight FX and simple pref is enough for me, I am just here to do basic maintanence, one more pass through and I will be done, it should be stable.

So, I don't plan on spending a whole lotta time doing more 12 hour a day, free coding.


I can be hired though.

Thanks for the feedback MadMonk.

I do have the 2nd part fixed, I will look to what you found about saving the colors in that setup. ty.

Still gonna be a week or two til I can complete the final stuff, I don't want to release parts. And it should be my last work on it for a long time.

finally... I hope

Thanks for the reply ChicksHateMe, I completely understand your point of view andI appreciate your time and effort, I'll keep plugging away!

np, btw new version of OIM has the Intergration in it for CBII and user class colours which I've got working.. (see image at my site in forum)

MAdmonk,

Awesome, Glad you came up with a solution making it available to all. I have a few questions for you, I don't want to just post here though. You may get a email or pm.

LANGUAGE FILES
***************************

I have spent a number of months writing this plugin. Apparently the Dynamic Updating is VERY popular as I've seen from searching the net for 'chatbox2_menu'. There are a number of sites using it with the Dynamic updating. Some are still using it, just without the Dynamic updating.

PLEASE - There are a number of sites in different languages, and I am not the brightest lightbulb in the pack, so I only know English.

If you have converted the Chatbox II Language files (and possibly the language var's at the top of chatbox2.js and chatpage.js. PLEASE contribute them by adding them yourselves at [-link-]

There should be one more release coming, that may change the language files a little, but PLEASE consider sharing.

Becuase I can't, I hope people will chip in and create the language files so everyone can enjoy these plugins. It seems easy enough to upload them at [-link-]

***************
STABILITY
***************
Also, at that time, it should be fine to redistribute ChatBox II elsewhere, to reduce downloading loads, but I thank all those that left it here, so I got a lot of helpful feedback as it evolved.

I thank all that that did give positive feedback, and There have been some great new plugins really evolving lately (OIM, Krooze Arcade, Gold System and more) that have made e107 sites pretty fun to build.

Is there a way to change the color of the scrollbar in this plugin?

Otherwise, I love it.

Edit: Nevermind... Just added the CSS scrollbar commands to the style sheet of the template and viola!

Found Bug:

Users showing that they are on this page:
chatbox2_control

and on header

expamle youtube video dont work

Tansas,

Not sure what you mean?

It will show a user is in chatbox2_control unless you do the hack in the _readme.txt file. Or you don't used online extended.

Do you have an example, or screenshot?

thanks!

Ohh excuse me for that

Example:

If i look who is online on online.php. i see that every user is
is on "chatbox2_control" page. But they arent

AND:

On: Header Data (Optional)

I want to add a youtube video but it does not work:-/

Tansas,

It will show the chatbox_control in the Online User Extended until you read the _readme.txt and do the hacks mentioned within it.

As far as putting a YouTube video in the header, you will have to do your own hacking, as it's limited to basic HTML> I may have some filtering of tags in there for security reasons.

If you know HTML, and PHP, you should be able to find a place in the chatbox2_menu, where the Header is normally output, and replace it with your hack Youtube code.

Good luck!

Hi, when i used chatbox II 1.3 there wasnt russian support.

When someone added post, there was strange tags. Say me, where in this plugin i can change charset to windows-1251?

I really need this plugin, cause on my site there a lot spam gone to chatbox
