Has anyone even gotten this thing to display, at all? I spent hours tweaking this thing and so far nothing... nada. This is going to become a weekend project. It won't even come up no matter what page I place the widget on. This is beginning to look like I just made a $34 donation to the developer because this app is DOA for me. I can't even get it to display. 

UPDATE: After a late, long night and a busy day doing other things, I got an email from the Developer, who was very eager and willing to help me get the app to work on my forum. I ended up sending me about a dozen or so screenshots as he walked me through the process of running the Support screen on the administration control panel, checking the system log, submitting some error messages, which showed that some files were missing during my initial installation of the app, and then uninstalling and reinstalling the app on my forum. The app worked like a charm the second time around. The developer also showed me a video which showed me clearly how to use the widget to place the app on the home page of my forum, which is what I was trying to accomplish. He was patient enough to wait for me as I worked my through the process, until I was finally able to send him a screenshot of the working chatroom on my home page. 

THANK YOU to the developer for helping me out and for sticking with me to the end until I got it to work. I apologize for the bad review, which I amended above to 5 stars!

Hi,

You need to go ACP > Community > Chatbox+ > Rooms to create a room first, then use the widget to display it.  If you don't know how to use, please PM me I will help you.

Hey @onlyME

We tried to register at https://ipsviet.com/register and have been waiting for the confirmation on our email but so far we have not received nay yet. So we are posting our issues here.

We noticed lately when we installed Chatbox+ on our Invision Community site and we are getting this CSRF error.

This happens when our team are using their admin accounts when would encounter this popup message about 10-15 times already. It never happens when clicking on a page, but seems to be there on pages when going back to them.

We haven't pinpointed an exact feature being used when it happens as it hasn't happened only so often (only when going back to tabs).

We are using Invision Community version 4.5.4 if that helps.

Hi,

Please try to clear browser cache. If it still doesn't work, PM me in this site. I don't support in other sites because I have no way to know who purchased my apps.

It says that there is an update available.  OK??  Where, How, What do I do?  I click on the link "Update available" and it brings me here to this page.  Now what?  I do not see a link for update?  What should I do?  Do I need to download to my desktop then upload to my CP?  Sorry I am so stupid but go ahead and guess what I am thinking?  You can not and neither can I guess what you want me to do?

Ok.  Came back here and downloaded the file by clicking the Download link at the top.  Then opend the file and saved the tar file.  Then went back to the CP and clicked on Upload New version.  and I got " YOu do not have permissions to do this"

So,  Yep,  I am frustrated.  Why bother even telling me that there is a newer version available when it is not really available.  ????  Totally confused.

 

Response from the author:

Hi,

I can not reproduce the problem. Your admin account may have restrictions to upgrade applications.

Please check your PM, I'm waiting for your response to help you resolve the problem.

My users LOVE it! I have basically all features disabled and I am just using this as a block on the main forum sidepanel. It works better than status updates and gives users a quick / casual way to say something without it being written in stone forever. It works much better than the "status updates" block IPB comes with.

The appearance definitely fits into our site better than the free version, and that alone makes this worth buying.

I suggest adding an option to disable the giant emoticon button, since even that can cause some page scrolling issues.

It would also be nice if users could delete their own messages. I think this could help people feel less reluctant to write something, if they can easily delete it at any time.

Please edit the user group > Content > Deleting > Can delete own content?

install was quick and configuration very easy.  I've have absolutely no issues at all with this product.  I used a couple of different chat rooms over the years when my site was VBulletin based.  This one is missing a couple of features that my members really liked.  A major one is a list of WHO is in chat.  Not just how many.  The other is very minor and just sort of a fun feature but the ability to send random sounds.  They had a lot of fun with that.  Sounds could added via the Admin CP.  

In spite of missing those couple of things, I am very happy with the product and have no regrets with my purchase.  I

Good idea! i've install this on my gamer forum, and get a good results ... but after 3 month, i've remove it. All new members prefer to ask on chatbox then ask on topic area.

Now i moved all 'chat' to oficial discord. Maybe i use this plugin in another project.

Hello, why my members can't turn off the chat sound in the private member chat? I also noticed that even if It turned it off, it still doesn't turn off. Overall, great app for my forums and my members are happy. It's just that that's annoying to keep hearing the sound even when we try to turn it off.
