MGC Chatbox Evo

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere but I would just like to make a couple requests on the new version perhaps maybe others would feel they would be beneficial as well...

1. If there is a way to make it so that the BB CODE drop down menu stays active for all users at all times. I always have members asking me how to post a picture etc, where I feel that if they could actually see the BB CODE icons then it would help members be able to know how to post pictures and change font color on the fly etc.

2. If there is a way to make it so that when users are active in the chat that they will show up under the "Currently Active Users" list. I noticed that when users and just kickin back in the chatbox for a length of time that their names disappear from the currently active users list.

Thanks!

[VBDev]

And I'm done. It's working. ;)

Now VBdev should put a link up to donate paypal to me for all the support I do. ;)

lol Yeah ^^

What's the point of posting such a post ? It's not very useful ...

There is a timeout (it's an option).

Are you talking about the "Inactive Mode" or the "Chatbox sessions validity time"? I am a little unsure, but if so then how does the session validity time work? As stated before, my concern is when members come on the forum, and then jump on the chatbox, they become listed as INACTIVE after the set Session Timeout time. So then they don't appear on the "Currently Active Users" list anymore. Yet they are on the chatbox posting away...

[VBDev]

Chatbox sessions validity time :)

But if users are in inactive mode they won't appear in the list of course.

[Pavlus]

SQL errors are because you upgraded incorrectly.

5:02 AM <Ranger187> ! <-- Works.

If there will be some sql errors i will have a mesage on mail and why "!" is working with firefox?

It doesnt connected with sql i think, rather java script error.

Your talking about the "FORUM's Currently Active Users List" right? Not the Chatbox users list?

[OcR Envy]

In the users online list, the musername isn't being parsed. I get no usergroup styling for this portion only, help please?

I think I haven't implemented the musername parsing in the users online list. I am adding it to the feature request.

Thats the strange thing, when looking into the php file I do see fetch_musername and every *once* in awhile one or two members will show up styled.

Oh ok see were on two different things here. My concern is when people get on the forum and while chatting in the chatbox for a length of time, their name will disappear off the FORUMS Currently Active Users List. The one that shows up at the BOTTOM of the forum. Also the "WHOS ONLINE" list is affected as well. So basically if someone were to be chatting in the chatbox for like 20 minutes, and I clicked on the "WHO'S ONLINE" link, their name would disappear from the list. Does that make any sense?

[sam_816]

Didn't wrk fr me :(
copied all files from files folders to my root folder myforum.com/forum
and images folder files to both myforum/forum/images as well as myforum/forum/images/styles/myskin'sname/
the MGS chatbox options are available in admincp but chat box is not visible on forum page..
PS. i've cyb-chat installed..
please help

Really ? Was it for users that doesn't have a style the other times ?

This is normal as the chatbox refresh is based on ajax calls and the refresh of the whosonline is disabled for them in the mgc chatbox files.

[OcR Envy]

I haven't noticed if it's the same users styled everytime, I'll keep an eye out and update later.

Hey Dev,

Reporting back on the who's online styling. Appears to be completely random who gets styling and who doesn't. Seems to change on a daily basis, not usergroup dependent as well. However the user seems to keep the styling IF it gets assigned for as long as they are logged into the site.

Regards,

Envy

If you follow the instructions, there should be no problem. Most forget to remove the commands and remove files. If you don't follow the order in the txt file, it will cause those issues.

[tlp000999]

Hello - for some reasons the shouts in the box are not separated by new lines for each shouts. just stacked together in one continous line. Is this intended? Where do I change the option/code to put every shout on a separate line?

Ah... this problem is only in Firefox. The alternative colours doesn't work either.

[Ranger187]

It's your forum I'm betting since it only happens in FF and not IE. Have you tried using the default template/skin and checking it? Your issues are not typical of any install issues that I know of.

[Probyte]

Great chatbox. ;)

Ah - thanks for the "re-direct", but you were right! Just in case other people come across this it was because the debug option for displaying the template names in HTML comments were switched on!

Hey guys!

Question: Is it a smart move to add an advertisement (like Google Adsense) on the full page mode of the shoutbox?
If so, how can I do that? :P

Thank you!

Thank you!

I actually would advise against this if you are trying to get any hits off search engines or adsense and the like. It won't see the chatbox that I know of so it would be a misplaced ad in my opinion. You could add it as an annoucement but then again, it's usually iframes, jscript etc and most places don't allow that.

[Brood]

possible for users to save font/color settings?

[Ranger187]

You must be a n00b to the chat. ;)

Yes. User CP > Edit Options.... Scroll to bottom. Select options. Done.

yup, silly me, just found it myself

Hi folks,

I've just upgraded from 0.4.0 to v1 and now my chats are showing up at the right side of the chatbox. (see pic)

I'm off to trawl 168 pages of posts lol so see if I can find an answer but thought I'd post anyway incase it's a new thing or an easy fix. :)

Thanks :)

EDIT: I've completely removed all files related to this product, uninstalled it, then copied the new files to the server, then installed the product. I've not made any adjustments to the settings and it's still aligning all chats to the right. Please help! :(

[glennybee]

I've reverted back to v0.5.0 and everything is ok now.

[glennybee]

I have a new problem. I did have the chatbox displayed at the top of my Realtime Posts page (as per this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1463112#post1463112 ) but since upgrading from 0.4.0 to 0.5.0 it no longer displays.

I've set the proper settings as per above thread but it's still not displaying.

Does the $mgc_cb_evo_var variable still work in v0.5.0?

Thanks

As per 1.0.0 version, it's not possible anymore (too few users were using it).

However I add it to the todo list it as it's an interesting command and well known.

Let this be a lesson to everyone! Do not donate until you are sure of the support!

Wow wow guys calm down. This thread is not the place to get fighting !

Ranger187, I know the question of wmlvb was perhaps not very fair but it's not a reason to be rude with him at first answer.

wmlvb, insulting others is not a good thing too ...

The fact is yes you have to read instructions to get the new version. But there is no need to bump him out just because of that question.

Don't blame Ranger187 for giving support. I didn't ask him to do support for me but he does it to help when I am not around that's all.

I am going to report posts so that they get removed there is no reason for those fightings to stay.

[wmlvb]

Please just send my donation back. No where does it say where the instruction were for UPGRADE I did not ask for installation instruction.! I said I was a newbie. He was A jerk. I am sorry you have jerks answering question for you but I will not put up w/ it. Please return my donation. I will uninstall!

Please keep things civilized here.

@wmlvb - donations do not guarantee support here, ever. Donations are a means to show your appreciation to a Coder's work.

The chatbox width is not an option I am sorry but is already in the todo list as you can see.

About the possibility to edit, this is the usergroup permission : Can manage the chatbox which allows users to edit others post.

Do you really think that would be useful ?
I don't really see an interest in such feature as chatbox is just for chit'chat not for full discussion so I am not sure it would be much used.

Just a quick to warn people who have vBSEO running and using the rewrite rules as mentioned.

If someone starts a thread called "chatbox" only it will throw up a vbseo error when someone tries to read the thread.

Original :

'mgc_cb_evo\.php$' => 'chatbox.html'
'mgc_cb_evo\.php\?do=view_chatbox$' => 'chatbox.html'

Changed:

'mgc_cb_evo\.php$' => '<sitename>_chatbox.html'
'mgc_cb_evo\.php\?do=view_chatbox$' => '<sitename>_chatbox.html'

of course replace <sitename> with your sitename.

[SnapOff Racing]

Oh can I request to implement the chatbox so that the BB CODE drop down shows ALL THE TIME! Man I got users that bug the hell outa me asking HOW TO post a picture and stuff. I think that if the BB CODE was shown all the time people would see the IMG ICON and figure it out on their own. Thanks!

[VBDev]

That's an interesting and not to hard to implement option.

I'll add it to the todo list but I can't promise that all features requests will be implemented in the next version, it will depend of the time I have for that. :)

Hey, VBDev, I'm currently using this modification with MySmilies vB, but it seems that custom smilies are not compatible with the shoutbox... could the next version try and find out/fix the problem I've noticed where the custom smilies only show the text code in the shoutbox?

Any ideas of a fix?

If I collapse the chatbox the chats show up but as soon as I open the box backup the chats dont show up?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[parabat]

VBDev, great mod, so thank you very much :up:
The issue I have is that when collapsing the chatbox (I only have 5 visible on collapse) the 5th entry always shows at the top. (Newest should be at top)
I have tried to change a few of the display settings but still the 5th entry pops up on top.
If the chatbox is not collapsed the entries appear fine.
This is not a major issue, but it is weird. Any suggestions? I have added a img of the error. Look at the time stamp to see what I mean. (No the entry is not a duplicate of the 4th one)
Oh and before I forget, there is also an extra line spaced between each entry on the collapsed chatbox where as on the open one, it displays fine. I'm using firefox, but it also does the same in Chrome, but in IE it collapses to so no entries.

Thanx in advance.

If I collapse the chatbox the chats show up but as soon as I open the box backup the chats dont show up?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Your chatbox is not available to anonymous. Please either activate it for anonymous or create an account for me :)

VBDev, great mod, so thank you very much :up:
The issue I have is that when collapsing the chatbox (I only have 5 visible on collapse) the 5th entry always shows at the top. (Newest should be at top)
I have tried to change a few of the display settings but still the 5th entry pops up on top.
If the chatbox is not collapsed the entries appear fine.

Added a screenshot.. any ideas?

[VBDev]

Have you checked in other styles on your forum ?

[big blue]

Tried to install it but get this error....

[dreamer81]

I installed this, and it works.

However, i find it irritating that you have to click refresh before other users posts are displayed.

Why not let them be pushed out to the client?

[buurman]

You can set the refresh rate, so just set it shorter, like 2 seconds?

About my question, I dont have any other styles installed, just the one I use, to prevent problems..

Any idea in what template or php to search to play with the settings?
Older versions worked just fine, but than again, also updated to 3.7.3 just now...

EDIT: never mind... I needed to revert a customized template.. now its fixed!

[dreamer81]

would be great if users could hide the chatbox completely. That is really my only concern.

Some users simply doesn't want this, and for those, a click on a X in the upper corner should hide it 4ever. untill they enable it in their CP again.

is this possible?? or perhaps a feature request?

I know they can minimize it, but it will still be partly visible.

[CristianoDiaz]

I am using vb 3.7.3 - if I upgrade to the latest version (1.0) of the chat box, the chat no longer works - when you input text, nothing is rendered - the whole chat area itself remains blank. Reverting back to any previous version fixes the problem.

[gtcompscientist]

Any word on updates to address the bugs?

[Probyte]

I noticed that I cannot edit the user group settings after I uninstalled MGC Chatbox Evo. It says there has been a database error, and I can completely see that it was caused by the chatbox.

It is uninstalled, but it still has the options to set it to the user groups, ect.

To uninstall it, I did the following.-

1.) Delete the product via the Admin CP.

2.) Delete all the files via FTP client.

How do I fix this?

I'm not sure if you are familiar with this problem. But.. if you have multiple channels, you can't view the logs properly of those channels. You can view the first page of the logs, but if you go to page 2 it'll go to page 2.. but! It goes to page 2 of the first channel. It refuses to go to the page 2 of the selected channel.

[Soup^Dragon]

I have a problem that has been annoying me for a while now. It was in version 0.5.0 and I updated to 1.0.0 and i still get it.

When i click the link to view archives of the chat box or to view it in a full page i get an error and my page reloads to the CMPS page with the shout box missing. (see pic)

i have reinstalled the cmps system, i have deleted the module 'news' and re loaded a fresh copy. I have even commented the foreach section out of the module which got rid of the error but not the reload in cmps and missing chatbox.

I get the same error whether i click on the archive link in my forums or the cmps page

It's all a question of refresh rates. In all the chatbox this is like that and you are not supposed to click on the refresh button if your refresh rate is low :)

They can totally disable the chatbox from they usercp options (which is the place where options are always ;)).

Yes, that is what I like to achieve. But I think 15x15 is too small. I had a shoutbox on phpbb. I think there I had 40x40 (or 30x30).

I have set up my vb to have avatars of 80x80. That would be too big. But you might be able to use the custom avatar thumbnails. On my forum it is set to 60x60. I have no idea where you can set that size to your liking.

I have read that you could call the avatar picture with this code:

src='image.php?type=thumb&u=$user[userid]'

Unfortunately I have no clue which file generates the chat messages. I was not even able to find my chat messages in the source code of the generated page. :confused:

[VBDev]

I'm pretty sure he's going to say that's outside of the chat function.

Flashchat might be better suited for that.

Otherwise use the group chat function.

FYI: When I upgraded to vB3.8.0 Beta 1 both my General and Team channel were purged/wiped clean. The chatbox still 'works' but previous chat prior to the upgrade will be lost.

Probably because there is no such version. ;) 3.7.3 is highest.

And if you read, upgrading from any major version purges. It says to backup the chats to an XML if you want them prior to upgrading/updating.

[theOZer]

It's an FYI; and, Yes, there is a vB3.8.0 Beta 1 out. Catch up.

Plus, there's no way to load backed up chat; it's gone.

There never was a way to load backed up chat. He's not implemented that feature. Also, it's not supported on 3.8.x ;)

What I do is backup my chatbox tables in the database BEFORE I upgrade, then I just re-import them back in and overwrite them.

backup these two tables individually...

mgc_cb_evo_chat

Hu really ?! That's not really normal. Perhaps someting changed in vB3.8.0 that forced such purge. But that's very odd, I don't think the chatbox has to do with it.

Hi VBDev,
Thx for the response.
Yeah, I'm not sure why my previous chat disappeared. I going to try another testvb upgrade this weekend with PlugIns Turned OFF before I do the actual upgrade testing and see if my chats still disappear after the upgrade. I'll let you know how it goes.
Has anyone else experienced this glitch after updating to vB3.8.0 Beta 1?

I didn't upgrade, mine was a fresh install.. Not sure what version it is, is there any way of checking.. It's a good 3 or 4 months old now. The archive has never worked but everything else is good.

I did NOT lose any of my chat when I did a 2nd testvb upgrade to vB3.8.0 Beta 1. I had Plugins turned OFF when I did the upgrade this time. Whatever... I'm glad the chats disappearing did NOT happen a 2nd time.
And, thanks again for this fantastic, robust mod, vBDev. You're the Man!

If both don't works then it's perhaps because the file mgc_cb_evo.php is not on your forum otherwise both would works.

Nope, they plain aren't shown period. Just the smiley code. Which works fine in posts, blog comments, visitor messages, etc but not the shoutbox.

Smilies are activated for you in the chatbox ?

If they don't display then it's perhaps because the mySmilies mod uses a specific hook for his smilies parsing which is related to the posts and threads and this is why it doesn't work in the chatbox.

Any News about the new version?!

The "bug".. "[Medium] Banning user only start applying if the banned user refreshes his browser. " is really bad.

This bug is corrected in the new version. It's going on, as you can see I have started adding features (see list above, all items in green are done).

The bug with the PM popup shall be corrected I think, there was a stupid JS error. However this will need to be checked during the beta test of the next version. I will as for beta testing help when I'm ready.

I hope to be releasing the new version soon.

[VBDev]

Yes, that is what I like to achieve. But I think 15x15 is too small. I had a shoutbox on phpbb. I think there I had 40x40 (or 30x30).

I have checked but this feature is not possible anymore for vBulletin with the code you gave.

It would need further coding and I don't think a complicated code is really the point for such a small feature.

Nope but I figured it out in another way.

However, the thumb size is a fix parameter of resize in vBulletin and can't be changed.

I have thus added 3 options :

Activate avatar display
Avatar width
Avatar heightThis will lead to fix size for each avatar. As a consequence, an image which hasn't the same ratios could seems strange, you see what I mean ?

But as these are really small sizes of avatar I don't think it's a major problem.

That sounds great. I don' t see any problem with the wrong aspect ratio of the resized avatars, either. This happened on the other shoutbox, too, and nobody complained about it. But I think they would have screamed out loud if the avatars had not been shown any more.

Looking forward to your new release. Thank you very much for your hard work!

Check the configuration of your style to see where the misc directory for the style is, images are probably not in the right dir.

Hi guys !

First I want to congratulate VBDev for this great hack, it's nearly perfect !

Nearly because I noticed a little bug : after the installation, I couldn't access to my forum. After many search, I find the source of the trouble : with Firefox (and Opera also I think), people who belong to an additional group can not access to the main page of the forums. Indeed, there is this alert :

Encoding contents error

I installed the non-evo version and had loads of white page problems. Does this version cause problems with vbadvanced?

[shot2bits]

If both don't works then it's perhaps because the file mgc_cb_evo.php is not on your forum otherwise both would works.

Please try uploading files again.


Re-uploaded the files but has made no difference, still page not found.

Check the addon at the bottom of the first post. The is a mod which allows you to use the chatbox with vBAdvanced. Not sure if this is what you are after.

Hi, i've installed MGC ChatBox Evo on vBulletin 3.7.3 and past some chat messages when i refresh the page my chatbox area says "Loading... " and nothing else.
All users have the same problem in my forum.
Also when i intent to write a message i receive the next error:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

See this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=268862

It explains how to fix the error. Hope this helps.

[pedroenf]

That has nothing to do with it. You have to remove all the uploaded files. This error is because you still have the bitfield file in /includes/xml folder and consequently still have the mgc_chatbox options field in your groups settings. Remove that file and everything will be fine. If you have one of the lattest versions of VB the bitfield rebuild will be auto, if not you will have to do it your self.

[VBDev]

Nearly because I noticed a little bug : after the installation, I couldn't access to my forum. After many search, I find the source of the trouble : with Firefox (and Opera also I think), people who belong to an additional group can not access to the main page of the forums. Indeed, there is this alert :

I am not sure that you did use the good checkboxes. There is one group to avoid users to select them as default parameters in their usercp and the other to just allow the bbcodes. I think you misunderstood the text and did the contrary.

Are you using the latest version of the chatbox ? Earlier version of the chatbox aren't compatible with the 3.7 due to token late introduction in the vBulletin code.

Otherwise you shouldn't get that error message as it's now corrected since 0.3.0 I think.

Problem is I don't have internet explorer => I am a Mac user.

But I think I have found what might have been causing the problem. Do you have the show whos online in the chatbox option active on your forum ?

is there any chance that i can change the border of this mod ??

By editing templates as it's using your default forum bordering configuraiton.

[VBDev]

1.1.0 Development status update :

As you can see from the first post, many new features will be included in the next version.

I think I'll stop there for the new features introduction and will start translating the new/changed phrases into english in order to launch the beta test phasis.
Unless you guys have some bloody hell ideas of new features that are not in the todo list

I'll ask, when it will be time to, for beta testers so that you can track the snitchy bugs that could be remaining.

One of the bug I would like to be tested is the PM popup problem. I think it's fixed but I need some users who were having the problem to test it (as I can't myself due to no internet explorer on Mac).

[pedroenf]

No, with one previous version. I'm not using the latest one as it has some issues that may be quite annoying at times for the users.

Hum ?! The chatbox doesn't has anything to do with the js/downloader.agent virus.

I don't think the chatbox is causing that at all.

This virus is a downloader trojan inside a javascript file. But there ain't such thing in my mod... I think you have been infected by something else.

Tachy goes to Conventry = the built in admin "Global Ignore" feature on vbulletin. It's featured in the Vbulletin Options -> User Banning Options

Although, I think a /slash command for a "global ignore" in the chatbox would be just as useful and accomplish the same thing!

(Sorry for taking weeks to reply!)

[VBDev]

Perhaps it's a problem of compatibility between thickbox and the chatbox javascript code.

I don't understand the need for such command.

To do a global ignore users could hide the chatbox, isn't that enough ?

[man1ak]

Are you using the latest version of the chatbox ? Earlier version of the chatbox aren't compatible with the 3.7 due to token late introduction in the vBulletin code.

Otherwise you shouldn't get that error message as it's now corrected since 0.3.0 I think.

The security token problem no matter because i think the page not finish to load completely (maybe an infinite loop?) and i think that is part of the main problem "Loading..."

Note: the hack worked for a few hours at the first install.

My forum test is: http://www.gameland.com.ar/foro123

I have tested on your forum. The problem comes from the language (spanish one).

Seems like it is bugged, you shouldn't have use it by the way, it's an old one...

Your chatbox works in english language. You should remove the chatbox and install it again then translate the chatbox from scratch.

How the hell does the commands work? I tried using the ban command and it just keeps saying invalid syntax. Is it /ban username or /ban : username ?? How is it supposed to be typed in?

/ban on uname the_username

Check the help in the chatbox (? icon).

[Netunt]

For example, if you were banning me, you would type:

/ban on uname Netunt

[SnapOff Racing]

For example, if you were banning me, you would type:

/ban on uname Netunt

ok that worked perfect. now how do I UNBAN you? lol :D

[VBDev]

/ban off uname Netunt :)

[Skyrider]

Is there any specific command to time ban someone and an easier way to ban people as well? With a s/h/d/m in the end that stands for seconds, hours, day(s) or month(s)

/ban username 5d <-- bans for 5 days.
/ban username 0 <-- bans perm

If not possible, maybe then just this:
/ban username 60 <-- in minutes, so 60min = 1 hour.

and possible the unban command as well to make things easier:
/unban username

[VBDev]

No there is no time banning. Currently it's Banned or Not that's all.

I can introduce a time period ban with 3 possibilities : hours, days or month. Which would lead to the following new commands :
/ban h 2 uname username
/ban h 2 uid userid
/ban d 5 uname username
/ban d 5 uid userid
/ban m 1 uname username
/ban m 1 uid userid

Would that fit to everyone ?

I won't change the syntax of the unbanning to unban instead of ban off, for three reasons :
- There is an help in the chatbox that states how to use the command with their syntax.
- If you activate the autocompletion feature, you are helped to enter the command.
- These commands are not much used and if used by only few users.

Ok, solved that problem :)
Now the ChatBox can be viewed and i can chat if i am anonymous, but if i logged to any user i only see empty content (in Archives i can see chats).
Anonymous, Members and Administrators groups have the same permissions on the chatbox (view, use) but i can only use the chatbox anonymously.

Upgrading from 0.4 (working) to 1.0.0, I got the infamous eternal "Loading ..." issue for the chatbox that appears on vBadvanced page. After tinkering with codes here and there, I successfully fixed the issue. What I did was, in plugin "Global variables of the chatbox", add line $forumpath = $vbulletin->options['bburl'];
After line mgc_cb_evo_unserialize_user_params();

Hmmm - may be a weird question but I would like to have the inner table where the shouts are display - the one with:

would like to make it transparent. I just can guess there's some global VB style used for table / tr / td / tbody or something else - would just like to overwrite it local by appending something like:

... style="background: none;" ...

Just - may someone point me please to the right line where I could add this ?

I am sorry but that bit of code works for some but won't work for others.

I am saying that because this variable is used in the chatbox code to get the path to javascript files. And using the bburl option variable would lead to a path to javascript files using http//... which is recognize by some browsers as a security concern and stop the chatbox.

Awesome!! Can you tell what it was? I'm curious.

It does delete things correctly if you follow uninstall instructions correctly.

Yes as long as there are new phrases which is the case :)

You could have had a small look around the options buddy it's in there, this is why it's in french.

[Markos]

@ VBDev my forums http://www.uydudoktoru.com My forums SEO hacks. All Members,moderator chat box sea but Administrator no sea chat box

[Markos]

hmmm im admin on mine and i see it ok dont know about anyone else lol im the only one thats chatting on mine just now lol

[Skyrider]

nevermind, works all now, thanks! :D

You might wish to edit this though:
- Go in the Plugin manager of your admincp
- Edit the "Chatbox display on forumhome" plugin
- Replace : $search_text = '$forumhome_markread_script';
- By : $search_text = '$chatbox_forumhome';
- Then, go into the Style manager and edit the FORUMHOME template
- Put the $chatbox_forumhome var before the $footer var

The "search_text" is no longer valid as it's no longer in the php code.

Currently, it's now:
$find = '$forumhome_markread_script';
$brb = '';
$bra = '<br />';

Also, when I select the who's online button, I see a huge box and showing 0 online:
Users in the chatbox : 0 user(s)

That was perhaps a problem of cache from a previous vBulletin version.

@ VBDev my forums http://www.uydudoktoru.com My forums SEO hacks. All Members,moderator chat box sea but Administrator no sea chat box

Have you correctly set the permissions of your chatbox (usergroup ones) ?

[VBDev]

nevermind, works all now, thanks! :D

Yes (usergroup ones) but no see chat box Administrator all memebers no problem

[VBDev]

I don't see why your admins wouldn't see while your members does.

Please post a screenshot of your usergroup settings for admin.
Check that you don't have edited chatbox templates (if not revert them).
Check that in your usercp you don't have set the hide chatbox option to yes.

[VBDev]

Now that the new version of the chatbox is out I was wondering if all of you would you be interested in the creation of a forum for the chatbox ? An external one.

[Skyrider]

VBDev, please check out my post above. I've edited it.

Look the bug list :) I saw that just before the release so haven't corrected it ;)

Seems ok to me. Do your admin users are only admin or do they belong to other usergroups ?
Have you tried setting the same permissions as your other usergroups ?

[KevinL]

Works great!! Thanks!! :)

Maybe I missed it.. but is there a way that I can change the date and time?

Thanks for the update!

I've finally turned on the ignore feature on but there seems no option to make it not ignore moderator/admin groups..

Is there an option for this that I'm missing?

[KevinL]

Two options are available for that.



Indeed...didn't see them before! haha
