Please can a mod? admin delete my first post in the release thread:
http://www.vbteam.info/compatible-scripts/24564-cometchat-v1-0-0-a-3.html#post115592



Few bugs I've found in this hack:

1. When chatting- If you type
that's
Click to expand...

...it becomes:
that\'s
Click to expand...

2. If you post a link in the chat- It's not converted to a link.

3. Smilies don't work in the chat.

As Psi(7 more letters) said though- It's in it's early stages.

So updates should be on the way in the near future.

If anyone's bought this, please feel free to report these bugs on the cometchat forum :D

==================================​

Now.. I want to change something but can't locate it.

When you click the settings button on comet chat, the header says 'Comet chat options'. How can I change this to say 'chat options'?

While file do I need to edit?


Another thing:
I'm using Bluefox style, and the text box where you type is showing as black, and the text is grey, so until you hit enter, you can't read what you've wrote.

How can I change this? Maybe add some code to my .css?

One other thing- Can I add a conditional to this so only some usergroups can use it?

Click to expand...

To fix the apostrophy issue:

This problem occurs because of magic quotes being switched on. For a quick fix, add the following code at the end of cometchat_init.php
Click to expand...


Code: 
function stripSlashesDeep($value) {
 $value = is_array($value) ? array_map('stripSlashesDeep', $value) : stripslashes($value);
 return $value;
}
if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
 $_GET    = stripSlashesDeep($_GET   );
 $_POST   = stripSlashesDeep($_POST  );
 $_COOKIE = stripSlashesDeep($_COOKIE);
}

i have the folder named cometchat
Click to expand...


The fix is to add in cometchat_receive.php on line 190:

Code: 
$chat['username'] = utf8_encode($chat['username']);

It should look like:

Code: 
$chat['username'] = utf8_encode($chat['username']);
$buddyList[] = array('id' => $chat['userid'], 'name' => $chat['username'], 'status' => $chat['status'], 'message' => $chat['message'], 'time' => $chat['lastactivity']);

Try without the / in front of /forum also, this has been a problem for some.

See here for that slash http://www.vbteam.info/how/24590-how-remove-slash.html

and for editing the text see the js folder "cometchat.js"

for colors see the css file.

Trailing slash problem is fixed here.

Editing the text- Cheers I'll have a look :D

Colours- yeh I had a look in the css file, but it's not as easy to work out as I thought. Have you actually looked at it? :D

The CSS file for comet chat is using the colours from the forum skin, as it's only on the bluefox skin I have a problem. On the VBSeo style- the background is white, and text is black.

So somehow, a part of the CSS needs replaced with it's own style- But I'm unsure how to do it.

i made some colors changes and no it's not using the forum css, it has it's own so you must edit the values, changed it from blue to green to fit VBSEO pro skin.

Can you maybe show us what bit you changed then?

As I said- I've got VBSeo pro style installed, and also bluefox.

On bluefox, it appears like this:

View attachment 15333

And on VBSeo pro style it appears like this:

View attachment 15334

Which is why I assumed it's using the CSS from the forum styles. Sorry if I'm wrong, but it certainly seems that way to me.

Hello, I've just installed, but it doesn't seem to be working, i.e, it's not showing up. I've tried flushing the caches, but no show. I am running vB 3.8.2

I installed it, added the codes to header/footer, but I just get that yellow icon saying "Please login to use Comet Chat". I am logged in WTF, any ideas guys? Maybe something to do with cookies?

I have tried messing with the cookie settings/clear my data but to no avail. :(

EDIT.

I got my answer:

CometChat always shows "Please login to use CometChat" even when I have logged in.
If you are using a custom cookie, CometChat will be in offline mode. Please contact us so that we can help you further.

I just changed my cookie prefix back to bb - the original cookie prefix on a default installation and it looks like it works.
