New Chatbox
First topic message reminder :
New Chatbox |
Dear members For few months, we had many problems with our current Chatbox. Many of you complained about the chatbox, that is perfectly normal! That's why, our technicians decided to rework all the chatbox! There is no big design change, just few improvements However, the code is not the same. It should solve all issues we had and you will enjoy chatting with your members Of course, the chatbox is still is under beta tests. So, we might have some bugs with the chatbox. It would be wonderful you could report those problems so that we can improve the chatbox as much as possible In addition, we have a new command /help so that you will know all the chatbox commands You just have to enter /help or click on the following button: Then, a popup will appear with an explanation of the commands. Those commands depend on your status and permissions on the forum: Now you can chat Forumotion |

The Godfather wrote:Hello,
We currently have a technical problem of very significant scalability CPU of the servers following an optimization of the chatbox to solve problems you reported on it for awhile. And to be honest, henceforth, the Chatbox uses the same technology as the notifications of the forum rather than sending constant requests.
This theoretically allows to considerably lighten the load and increase performance. We also have the opportunity to add a Help button that displays the commands in the chatbox to those who desire to know each according to their permissions.
We are working hard to find a viable technical solution to this rising burden though our local simulation were good, however, we are talking about millions of forums and only a full-scale test could allow us to make adjustments.
We are aware of the technical problems and inconveniences this causes. Nevertheless, you can imagine that if we could have done otherwise, we would have. We have a long night of work ahead of us, the pizzas are ordered and the coffeemaker is running at full speed so don't worry.
Certainly some malfunctions persist, but we're on it. Also, know that we are really far from the stage on these kinds of suggestions (why not give us the choice between such and such ... etc.) / Currently, the goal is to get you out a stable and functional chatbox.
In this sense, we need your support and that this topic remains clean without reports that set us on the wrong track.
Wait for the green light for the new patch to be released to give us your feedback. However, at present, there's no need to post to say that you too have the same problem because we already know and that only extends this unique topic for nothing
After stabilization server load will be ok which will solve a lot of problems that you are currently experiencing.
Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for the inconvenience
Chatbox bugs |
Hello dear members Here the improvement of bugs Remove the new color picker = solved Posts missing = solved Error in function write_msg(). Can not insert message = solved Chatbox empty = solved Auto-refresh = in progress Issues with archives = in progress Buttons are too white so invisible = in progress The color of the text is not the same as the color forum = in progress The color of members is black by default, so if the chatbox background is back members aren't visible = in progress After logging out, the drag bar looks same = solved Sort alphabetically username = in progress Some messages are missing after posting = solved Color picker not in pop-up but in JS as for the editor Alignment problem of the "help" button under chrome = solved The chatbox doesn't refresh when a user is just kiched = in progress Even if we are deconnected, we appear like connected= in progress I will inform you as soon as I get news Thanks for your help Note: when you report a new bug, please don't forget to post the url of your forum and a screenshot!!

Re: New Chatbox
Ok. Another Temporary solution could be to change the font color in the meantime and see if it worksToughTapir wrote:^Thanks, but that didn't work
Go to ACP > Display > Colors > and Change the text color in the first box: http://prntscr.com/61hdkp
Re: New Chatbox
As of right now, the chatbox on my forum no longer has message lag, so that is fantastic. The only other issue I am having is in regards to member names in the chatbox. Shadow as well as text-transform still do not work. I am unsure if it is a bug or if it is intentional. Perhaps make such optional? Create an option in the admin panel that one can switch on or off to allow such?
Anyway, well done thus far. I hope that fixes will continue to be made regarding this, and I would like to know about the particular issue I mentioned above.
Thank you!

member name color in chatbox
Hello,
First want to say the chatbox is running great.. just one tiny issue..
Anyone who isn't a Mod/admin with a special colored name when logged in has their name all black. This makes it pretty much impossible to see. If there anyway to change regular members name color in chat?

Re: New Chatbox
Hello,
Have either one of you modified the chat or any rule of it?
If their rank is Blue/Red/Black then that color will appear to the chatbox in case of that member is a simple member which will appear with the color you have for your links (if they don't have separate group their own). None of the colors changed, at least for the default chat and its default colors.

Hello all,
I dont know why but the chatbox as it seems bypasses the CSS rules for that reason the buttons are not appearing correctly as I check it now.

Re: New Chatbox
Hi, received so many complaints from our membership that the archives are no longer recording. Many of our members depend on this so once they get back to the forum, they can see what they had missed and continue. I have used this software for years and will continue. Just never had a issue with the chat before and understand now since I was drawn here to observe what was going on. Will wait on it and hopefully the archives will return...TY

Re: New Chatbox
Update: Archives appear to work for my site now. I also noticed that you changed the font color option back to what it was originally. So that's cool.
Of the changes I've noticed, there is no way to "refresh" the chat box other than refreshing the page. Or, I suppose, by clicking on the archive button and then the "back to chat" button. But for the moment the lack of a "refresh" button for the chat is the biggest grievance my members have.

Re: New Chatbox
Update: The archives are working TY. Different set-up on clicking "Archives" or "Without Archives" but, I like the new way better "Archives" Or "Back to Chat"...
Re: New Chatbox
finally the chat box works again but only thing it still needs to improve to atleast have auto-refresh and the glows back and it will be perfect for the most part in the chay

Re: New Chatbox
The glow is not related to the chatbox. The codes used for the glow need to be updated.

The updated code may be provided by forumotion, however, an admin on your forum would have to install the code manually. The reason it is a code is because some forum owners dis like it while others like it, so they make it a code to accomodate both. -Brandon

oh ok, sure thing

Re: New Chatbox
What is not broke does not fixing- you'd think a company would know that. As a coders perspective I can see that design was prioritized over technicality, which - in my opinion - is a dumb idea. Anyhow, good luck fixing the countless amounts of bugs.

Re: New Chatbox
The username effects and codes may never be updated or take a long time before the original posters re-do the coding... and who wants to do all that just so it will show up in some chatbox that worked completely fine before? This new one is a piece of work for sure... >< I do not agree with the changing of something that already works and does not need fixing, and I do not like the 'improvements', beta testing or not, this will force us to change and rewire our codings just for the chatbox, which will be frustrating and nearly impossible for some codes!
If I may ask, what were the issues with the original chatbox that were so terrible they demanding completely redoing it? Were they truly so severe that this was necessary?
I would like to have a topic where we can vote for and against the new chatbox! If the votes show the majority would like to revert to the original chatbox, then forumotion should honor their community's request and do such.

Re: New Chatbox
This is still yet to be finished. All you need to do here is report the bugs or mistakes you've spotted and sooner or later they will be solved. All you and we guys need to do is patience!

Re: New Chatbox
For adding glows to usernames on the chatbox for specific users, try adding this code to the CSS (Admin Panel -> Display -> Colors -> CSS):
- Code:
.chatbox-username[data-user="#"] {
text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #000;
}
Re: New Chatbox
The new chatbox somehow does not allow me to use extra coding from avacweb/ JScript in order to have the functions of editing and deleting chats individually.
http://www.avacweb.com/t2247-tutorial-chatbox-avatar-and-message-editing
It worked fine with my forum, also it negated the annoying lines of members joining and disconnecting.
Now, no luck adding those codes

Because the techs are still working on it, most codes you have added will not worked.

Re: New Chatbox
Last night, Wednesday, was our weekly 'Chat night', and it was a disaster. Half the members present couldn't post, or the text they were typing would disappear before they could hit 'enter', and even if it didn't go away, it wouldn't show up in the chat. Most of the members left chat in less than a 1/2 hour because they were just so frustrated. Also, the type and the alternating colors in the chatbox would 'jump' every few seconds, making some members sick to their stomach from the constant motion. I'm afraid absolutely no one on KGO likes the 'new' chatbox. The difficulty in changing text color (we each choose a color to make it easier to follow the conversations) was also frustrating people. Didn't know about the 'commands' list, either. All in all, NOT a winner, I'm afraid.
Re: New Chatbox
- Code:
.chatbox-username[data-user="#"] {
text-shadow: 0 0 0.3em #0000, 0 0 0.3em #0000, 0 0 0.3em #0000;
}
the above code is the code i use to get the full affect username glow, try it out. Also, if anyone has a new code for sparkles for usernames as well as icons, i'd appreciate it~
also, i used the new code and it canceled out the decor for my normal glows
Re: New Chatbox
I just want to point out that the Chat while it did become stable earlier in the day, roughly about 3 hours ago it has started to lag.
Re: New Chatbox
i can't get the image code for the staff text to work in the cbox. anyone know a way to fix that?

Re: New Chatbox
Oh i forgot to mention in my previous post. That when one times out it will more times than not keep the message bar on the chat and allow you to post with it. but it is a 50/50 chance of it relogging you in or leaving it blank

Hello dear all,
Some functions and variables etc. on chatbox have been changed and this is the reason which addons/plugins are not working. When the update completed the developers of addons/plugins like avacweb, @JScript etc must be re-write the codes for the new chatbox to work again. This will take time due the developers must be find out the new variables/functions etc and re-write the codes again to work these plugins/addons on new chatbox.
Best Regards,
Black-Shadow
Re: New Chatbox
Issues with archives = in progress
To resolve this, I did a little modification and below are sample images:
Without archives:
With archives:
About avatar appearing in the picture above, it is so easy to obtain and does not consume any resources!
It would be great if the technicians could see my code and go to use it, it would solve a request that was made a long time!
