Description
I have followed all the instructions and reloaded the module and config files from scratch in the same way it worked fine for the previous version, but when my home page loads it just has a white band at the bottom of the page that reads bowob: ready from now
The chat works fine from www.bowob.com.
Can this be fixed?

#1
I am having the same issue. Exactly what u said
#2
Solved in 8.8 version
#3
8.8 here but still the same issue.
This happens with multi.
Setting to mono i get Chat plugin by BoWoB Chat for Drupal
But i can't see the chat bar.
Looking better in the tables i see bowob_type is empty.
drupal=# select * from drup_bowob_cfg;
bowob_type | bowob_value | bowob_time
------------+-------------+------------
(0 rows)

Same here...
#5
The most common in this case is an configuration error in your module files.
1- Deactivate your module.
2- Go www.bowob.com and "Install".
3- Follow the instructions, downloading and overwritting all the files.
If the problem persists, use "Support" at www.bowob.com
#6
I already followed such steps but i still get the same
#7
So use "Support" at www.bowob.com, indicating your website address.
#8
@tobiberlin are you using postgreSQL database?
#9
@iwkse to be honest - don't know :-) think it is MySql if this respond fits :-)))
#10
Ok, I did it again - I deactivated and deleted all modules and files and used just the module and files found on bowob.com. I followed EVERY single step and nothing works. I will contact support now...
#11
There was an error with the "chat loader".
It has been solved in 8.9 version.
#12
Still doesn't work here.
#13
It doesn't work here either
#14
8.9 doesn't works
#15
#16
Well, tell me your website address and I will check it.
#17
Hi,
Same here...
my website is www.decreixement.net
#18
edufol,
Your file "bowob_config.php" is wrong.
It means you have created a new room at bowob.com and you haven't updated that file.
1- Deactivate your module.
2- Go www.bowob.com and "Install".
3- Follow the instructions, downloading and overwritting all the files.
#19
I still have this issues although I was told that there has been made some changes in the files - so I de-activated and re-installed everything but still nothing changed.
#20
Now works fine!! thanks 4 this fantastic tool... also the installation is a bit complicated.
Thank u!
#21
For me it works fine now as well... thank you very much for your support!
#22
tobiberlin can you tell to other users how have you fixed it ?
#23
First the Bowob team just changed something on the files - another issue was that one had to use a username and password to enter my page which does not work for bowob chat. After deactivating this login for the whole website it worked
#24
Does that mean if your site is a members only site BOWOB wont work?
But one of the configurations is authenticated users only, thats a paradox!
Can someone explain why bowob is not seeing the server to allow it to work?
This module is still not working.
#25
I used a .htaccess for authorization - it was not a Drupal login which was required. That might be the reason!
#26
wayne57,
As said tobiberlin, the problem was a external (htaccess) authorization.
Bowob works fine for "members only site".
#27
Hello
I get the same message.
I quickly checked the part printing out this message it is in bowob.module beginning on line 797:
$bowob_rs = db_fetch_object(db_query("SELECT bowob_value FROM {bowob_cfg} WHERE bowob_type = '%s'", $cfg_type));
if(!$bowob_rs){
$output .= "BoWoB: Ready from now";
}
Then i checked my database table bowob_cfg and i don't have any rows there, i think it may be related to the security issue. Which files does have to be accessable from a client and why?
Thanks

öin my domain... i'll keep you informed if it really was this problem, but i think so.greetings

Do I need to create account bowob.com to use this module? I installed this module, don't see any configuration settings. My page has "Chat" link added in the left side bar. If I click it, it brings up my home page. No chat options in the bottom of the page. I see "Chat plugin by BoWoB Chat for Drupal" in the footer. But, nothing else.
Initially I downloaded from drupal.org; After struggling with it, I read this post and deactivated the module, deleted the files, downloaded the files from bowob.com, installed again. Still the same thing.
Some people mentioned here "Go www.bowob.com and "Install"". There is no "Install" link in bowob.com page.
#30
There is a "Create your chat" link - just follow the instructions
#31
tobiberlin, thanks. Create your chat link works. I can see the "Chat" link in the left navigation bar now. If I click it, it opens the chat window in the new page. It has the theme I configured in bowob.com. All are good. But, I was thinking of using facebook style chat as shown in http://drupal.org/files/images/a_1.thumbnail.jpg. Even the demo at bowob (http://www.bowob.com/drupal/) shows the facebook style chat. I don't want to display the chat in a separate page, I want to show the chat just like facebook as shown in the demo. How do I achieve that? Thanks!

pacman2009,
When you are creating your chat at www.bowob.com, select "MultiPage" mode.

Hi Bowob,
I have followed all the instructions and reloaded the module and config files from scratch in the same but when my home page loads it just has a white band at the bottom of the page that reads "bowob: ready from now" and chat not appear-
The chat works fine from www.bowob.com.
My site is www.tipete.com
Can this be fixed?
#34
I gave up on this and removed bowob module. If you want to display chat along with the content in the same page, there is no solution for now.
#35
Has this issue been resolved yet?
I couple of months ago I uninstalled the module and then re-installed it, but still had the same problem.
I cant remember seeing instructions for overwritting all the files?
I thought un installing and reinstalling would overwrite anyway.
This is the only module that does not work for me. sad because it worked for a short while fine and stopped after the update.
It would be one of the top modules if it worked!!
