van2shout messages do not appear

jackmaessen

I am using 2.1 version, with bootstrap theme and van2shout plugin enabled.
Problem: the shoutbox appears and i can also submit messages, but the messages do not appear in the shoutbox.
I checked already the following:
1. database exist and messages are stored in database
2. permissions members. mods and admin are correct
3. my config.php:

$Configuration['EnabledPlugins']['Van2Shout'] = TRUE;

$Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['FBUrl'] = '';
$Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['FBSecret'] = '';
$Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['ContentAsset'] = '1';
$Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['Timestamp'] = '';
$Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['SendText'] = 'Verzenden';
$Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['TimeColour'] = 'grey';
$Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['Interval'] = '5000';
$Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['MsgCount'] = '50';

$Configuration['Plugins']['Van2Shout']['Guest'] = '';
$Configuration['Plugins']['Van2Shout']['Applicant'] = '';
$Configuration['Plugins']['Van2Shout']['Member'] = 'gray';
$Configuration['Plugins']['Van2Shout']['Moderator'] = '';
$Configuration['Plugins']['Van2Shout']['Administrator'] = 'blue';
$Configuration['Plugins']['Van2Shout']['Confirm Email'] = '';

I also tried this url: http://vanilla21.webprofis.nl//index.php?p=/plugin/Van2ShoutData&postcount=50
All the messages do appear!

Someone any idea why the messages are not being displayed?

Font color? Look in the source to see if they were printed . I think this plugin has been updated today. Get it form the github source

peregrine

do you have the problem on the default theme as well.

jackmaessen

that's just the problem, when looking in the source, the div is empty

div id="van2shoutscroll"
ul id="shoutboxcontent" /ul 
/div

jackmaessen

yes @peregrine, i switched to default theme but the same problem
i am using 1.052 version of van2shout

vrijvlinder

latest version is 1.053

https://github.com/Caerostris/Van2Shout/blob/master/class.van2shout.plugin.php

peregrine

try changing to this

$Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['ContentAsset'] = '';

so it shows up in panel.

jackmaessen

@peregrine yes it shows up in the sidepanel, but submitted messages are still do not appear...

jackmaessen

@vrijvlinder i upgraded class.van2shout.plugin.php, disabled plugin, emptied .ini files in cache folder, enabled plugin but still no result

peregrine

the only thing to prevent it from showing up is if you have js errors.
did you check your console for errors and if the js loads.

you might want to change your interval to 5 and see what happens.

caerostris

Have you tried the version from github? I think someone merged a fix for 2.1 there!
https://github.com/Caerostris/Van2Shout
EDIT: My bad, that fix was uploaded to vf.org about a year ago.
Do you have PHP error messages enabled? If not, please also check your PHP error log!
If nothing else works, just try github. I pushed support for smileys about a week ago, so it's cool anyways

i checked in the console the javascript errors and he give me the following error on line 15, it says:
"TypeError: unparsed is undefined"

$.get(gdn.url('plugin/Van2ShoutData?postcount=50'), function(data)
{
var string = "";
var array = unescape(data).split("\n");
for(var key in array)
{
var unparsed = array[key];
if(unparsed == "")
{
break;
}
var colourArray = unparsed.split("[!colour!]");
unparsed = colourArray[1];
//render PMs
if(unparsed.indexOf('[!pmcontent!]') != -1)  // in this line appears the error
{
var parsedArray = unparsed.split("[!pmcontent!]");
var idArray = parsedArray[1].split("[!msgid!]");
var id = idArray[1].split("[!msgtime!]");
var time = moment.unix(id[1]).calendar();
var timetext = '';
timetext = "<font color='" + timecolour + "'>[" + time + "]</font>"; string = string + "<li>" + DeleteMsg(id[0]) + timetext + " <strong id='post" + id[0] + "'>PM from <a href='" + gdn.url('profile/' + parsedArray[0]) + "' target='blank' >" + parsedArray[0] + "</a>: " + idArray[0] + "</strong></li>";
}
else if (unparsed.indexOf('[!pmtocontent!]') != -1)
{

vrijvlinder

try changing that line it to this

if(unparsed.indexOf("[!pmcontent!]") != -1) // in this line appears the error changed to double quotes .

peregrine

also I would get the entire plugin from github - not just bits and pieces.

some people have been known to only update one file when many changes are made (it may not be the case for you or this plugin but, its a good idea to replace everything.).

and then 

to debug....

    around line 33  change   in Van2Shout/views/discussionscontroller_local.php

        `//render PMs`

    to  

        //render PMs
        console.log(unparsed)

and post your information from your console info.

after you post your info - you probably want to comment out the console.log line.

and change your interval to 5 or 10 instead of 5000 for test purposes.

peregrine

you could also empty the shoutbox table and start anew to see if you have a mucked up table.

where content is not filled in.

i added the line above (console.log) and i now got this error:
ReferenceError: gdn is not defined
$.get(gdn.url('plugin/Van2ShoutData?postcount=50'), function(data)

and i put the line of unparsed.indexOf between double quotes but that doesn't make sense...

correct not much sense

you might have better luck if you do all these steps.

• disable the shoutbox plugin.
• delete the shoutbox plugin folder.

• delete the shoutbox table via phpmyadmin

• remove ALL entries pertaining to shoutbox in config.php (there will be many).

• download the entire plugin.

• don't use firebase.

• and re-copy over all of the js from the vanilla core

see if you have js errors, if not then

• use the default theme and re-enable the plugin

since you are using 2.1 - you might want to assist with adding plugins that do work

Sometimes it makes sense if you look at the other ones in that list they have double quotes, that one was the only one with single quotes. Maybe it makes no difference, sometimes it does seem to affect the output.

Well i followed all these steps above and finally changed default theme but still no result.
I used these files for the plugin: https://github.com/Caerostris/Van2Shout

I just don't know what to do...

peregrine

post the contents of your shoutbox table if any.

@linc I tried to add zip file, a text file, a sql file , etc with the attach feature in the buttonbar.

what exactly does work, because all the extensions - give me the message "not allowed"
