Solved Chat box problem, please help!

Post by RoRoArts November 22nd 2012, 10:04 am

On my forum (http://baseofarts.forumotion.com), the chatbox is visible, but you cant see any posts or names or anything. It just says Chatbox, Refresh, Archive, and Login at the top. You can type stuff, but nothing shows up.

Here's what it looks like: http://prntscr.com/kb3a2

Can an admin or someone please fix this without messing up my forum theme? It would be greatly appreciated Very Happy

From your browser.

Click on the tool thingy and then under the hood, you'll see clear browsing data and delete your cache and cookies.

Right, it's being a problem with mine too. Did you check your chat box's css? or the template? I can't really help you much from here apart from telling you to check on your codes and check your javascripts since I've got little experience with punBB

I'm not too good with coding. My CSS has nothing about the chatbox, just for my theme.

Seems to me that you have added a javascript code disabling your chatbox or when you added the theme somewhere in the CSS coding it confused your chatbox so what i consider is going through everything which will take a lot of time and find the error or just getting a new chatbox like XAT chat there are many more out there and disabling that one until someone comes along and helps you, ill try to find an answer to your problems

You have messed up with your templates. Delete your published templates & check?

Check this preview of your forum with a phpbb3 skin.

The problem is that I really like my skin/theme and I'm not sure if I'll be able to restore it even if I save it and upload it later.

Well thats for you to decide. Whatever edits you have done in the templates is messing up the chatbox in my opinion. Save your edited templates in a word file. Remove the ones related to that index page & then check.

No, I only worked on the designs on the forum. A friend of mine coded it (don't really talk to him a lot anymore because he's busy with other things).

Thats a problem then, you won't be able to find the bug really then if you are not the one who edited the templates.
I would suggest you to install a fresh skin from hitskin.com

Would it be possible to use this EXACT theme on phpBB2? Chat seems to be working on phpbb2 forums.

Nopes, changing the version via the admin panel messes up the original look of the skin.

*Sigh*. I guess I'll have to deal with not having a chatbox. Like I said, I really don't want to change this theme/skin because it looks really nice and clean. Thanks for your help Sanket.
