I missed your post wink You didn't CHMOD 755 "chat.cgi" (a new file in cgi-bin dir), or you didn't change the first line (#!/usr/bin/perl) to reflect your server's one. If you don't know what it is, check ultimatebb.cgi's first line.

ZIP/MHK files updated - re-upload ubb_chat.cgi and cp_vars_chat.pl; also, it's RECOMMENDED that you re-upload jirc_*.

Updates - jIRC 2.6.0 preview 3 (not 2); you can now use Hex code in the colors (not only RGB and names)

LK, this is definitely the coolest mod I've seen. Thank you!

BTW, is it a deliberate feature design that non-registered members (guests) cannot connect to the IRC chatroom? (they never successfully complete the session connection) I like it this way, but am curious.

Hey, I posted earlier, we cannot use the back button anylonger. The I frame shows up as a back page but we cannot backup. Any way to get rid of the Iframe stuff?

My members LOVE the new chat feature and the chat room is frequently full of people. A lot of them have now contact me with an idea for a new feature (maybe you've considered this):

Have the forum summary page list the actual members in the chat room rather than just a number count.

Just tossing this out as an idea. Thanks for all your work!

Just two things :

I also get the :alternate colors message in the CP... so is there any chance to get the Mod work with a 6.3.0 UBB ?

And where is the iframe shown ?

caroth, you can set the refresh time in chat mod to 1000, then it won't refresh unless the user leaves the site open and goes to another state wink

August, good idea...

dbode, read what I said in my other hacks: just remove "&AlternateColors;" from anywhere in the cp_vars_chat.pl file...

Oh, and.. hmm.. 6.3.1 is better anyway wink

Hehe, yes I know, but I need a german version.

Perhaps I´ll upgrade when UBB is Version 6.6 *g*

One Question - we were 5 People in the chat yesterday evening from 10 to 12 PM. My system shows me that there are over 2900 Hits on the chat.cgi yesterday.

I didn´t expect hat it reloads so much - when I open it to the public, there will be around 10 or 20 times the traffic.

So are there just so much hits because it is also loaded when the category pages are loaded ? Then there would be no increase from yesterday to any time. But if that traffic is just because of 5 persons, my virtual webhoster will kill my account today laugh

Any help ?

Best regards,
Dennis

Hi All,

Was just introduced to this forum afew days ago. Since then I've installed Quick Reply and the Calendar and some other mods but not sure what they do. lol

I just installed Chat but when I go to the CP, I don't see any setting parameters. It is in the drop down menu but when the page refreshes there are no options.

any ideas? I know it is probably something very simple I left out.

Thanks,

Jon Engalla

I re-uploaded cp_vars_chat.pl to the noncgi/Templates folder and still no change.

All I see is:

FilAm Basketball Chat Settings
Chat for UBB6.3 by LK
UBB-related Parameters
License Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Nothing else...

Please help...

BTW the license key isn't the UBB one, and it can be seen from the source. You get it from JPilot, and if you don't have one yet just leave it empty...

About your problem, make sure you removed all "&AlternateColors;" from cp_Vars_chat.pl.

Oh, and btw, please fix your copyright image - it has to say "Powered by Infopop" like the original one.

How come the Chat link is just a small icon at the bottom of the forum page? Any way to enhance that?

Is there a way to make the chat link more visble on my site? URL=http://www.filambasketball.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

As we use the chat more and more, the I Chat reloads have become a major problem and my PM inbox is literally filled with complaints now asking why I disabled the 'back' button. This is happening on ALL pages in the forum, including the forum home summary, not only the chat room page.

I went to increase the refresh rate -- you can only set it up to 99, so I set it at 99, reset the cache, and it still reloads in intervals of around 5 minutes.

Didn't even realize that it would be driving page-view traffic stats, but that is going to be a problem too.

Any advice on a solution would be hugely appreciated.

Okay, I removed that thingy. Please re-download chat mod, re-upload chat.cgi and rehack public_common.pl.

Thanks LK, but now after the new change when the forum summary page loads, a "File Download" box automatically pops up asking if you want to open chat.cgi "from its current location" or "save this file to disk".

You can see what happens on my test site:

No, I can't, because you probably removed it tipsy

Anyhow, are you sure you re-hacked public_common.pl and not just chat.cgi?

Ok, I'm an idiot -- sorry! I did re-hack the public_common.pl, but I didn't clear the server's and my PC's caches so wasn't actually testing the re-hacked public_common.pl. It was a rookie mistake, and I'm totally embarrased by it.

Thank you so much for this quick fix. smile
