MGC Chatbox Evo

[VBDev]

Odd error for me.. probably something I did. I installed the mod and it looks fine. So I type "test" into the box and it loads fine. I then go to archives and delete the "test" shout.
But now when I go back the chatbox just says loading in the shout area and if I type anything into the shout box and hit enter it gives me this error

I'm running 3.7.2 so I did not think I needed to add the security token code?

Are you using the last chatbox version (0.4.0) ?

[Dr.H]

Yes 0.4.0

Just as a thought I disabled the CMPS Module mod for this that I added. It works again so I'm guessing the CMPS mod is somehow at fault.

[mayanks]

ok thanks ...its working now..............

another problem... for testing, one of my admins banned me and now he doesnt know how to unban....even i dont know too..... please help

[VBDev]

You should ask stangger5 about that so :)

Tell him to type the /ban show command and then he should be able to unban you with a push on a button.

I did and seems a uninstall is required :-( great product but to much hassle will stick with v4 for now.

There is proof you either didn't read it, or can't follow directions. In the instructions, it clearly states that if you are upgrading from 0.3.0+ no uninstall is needed. You fail.

thanks =)

BBcode for email works.

BBcode email works. You never uploaded the image.

Your "issues" are from incorrectly reading install instructions and not correctly set settings.

And it seems when i click the team icon it disappear. but when clicking to the other channel icon it appears again :S

[Ranger187]

Test the bbcode url, does it work for you? I think there has been a change from the BBCode settings in the version I have to the release one.

[maidos]

still the same :( mind if you could take a screenshot on yours?
seems to be the online users got a bug

You didn't say if the bbcode issue is fixed. Can you type url's and emails and they work? I think this might be an actual problem but need to verify on other servers.

Hummm. I don't see what would have changed in compatibility with 3.7.1 and 3.7.2.

Do other people are having that problem with chatbox and 3.7.2 ?

That's what the cron job is for. And the settings. Why would you want to manually remove all? I think you asked this a while back too.

Yeah, sounds like Vbdev might have a boo boo with the bbcode in this one.

Indeed I have asked this before, and why? Too much chat logs within the chat system is for some reason lagging the chat box itself.. It takes longer for messages to be shown within the chat box. If the chat box has no logs at all, the messages shows up much faster.

[VBDev]

Ok found the problem of the email bbcode.

Open functions_mgc_cb_evo.php.

Search for :

if ($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_bbcode_email'])
{
$bbcode_list['no_option']['url'] = array('callback' => 'handle_bbcode_email',
'strip_empty' => true);

$bbcode_list['option']['url'] = array('callback' => 'handle_bbcode_email',
'strip_empty' => true);
}

Replace by :

well since FF|Skyrider got email bbcode issue aswell i dont need to do anything since he confirmed the issue right?

hm it seems the online list shows only my username color with the other user with same usergroup shows normal color :S

[Ranger187]

Really? I find that unlikely. Considering the one forum I run has about 3,000+ chats a day easily.

You are looking at what I call an backasswards solution. Instead change the history to something smaller then 300 ;)

Why not update the zip file too then ;)

I think I already answered you, you can do it in the archives but on a per page basis.

Otherwise you have to use the /del all command directly from the chatbox.

I am doing it right now :)

I've replaced of what you have given me ranger, but it didn't seemed to work for me. And thank u, the /del all command did the trick just fine.

FF, It's gotta be the server or your settings. If you have to manually delete stuff it's more a task for you personally and proves a waste of effort/time/resources for YOU.

Let me get the settings I use. If you try this and you still have problems, then it's the server you are on. It = sucks

[Ranger187]

Replacement of the bbcode or the replacement of the chats display? ;)

If you are talking about the bbcode... Make sure you edited the right file. ;)

/includes/functions_mgc_cb_evo.php

[VBDev]

Hey guys,

Seems like the fact that I made a commands system creation is not very useful.

At least you appreciate it for the channel creation system but that all.

So I would like to know your advice on the subject, do you think I should:

Let the chatbox as it is currently: requires time to install, allows commands and channel creations, forbid the use of some commands in all channels (like the /me command).
Or, rewrite the chatbox code so that it : requires far less time to install, allow only channel creations.In the second solution, commands would still be the same but would only be added at install and then you could activate/deactivate it as before.

I'm very sure I've edited the right file, I've even searched for a specific line and they were identical with the first code you placed and replaced it with your second code. It didn't worked for me.

[Ranger187]

Unless you plan to goto an XML one click install I'd not change how anything is done. That should be what your decision is based on.

I'd rather have more options then some stripped down chat. That's what separates this chat from the others.

Yes this would be a one click XML install.

I would directly include commands in files & database thus avoiding install of commands upon each command modifications when a new release of the chatbox is out.

The chatbox wouldn't lost any of it's functionnalities.

[Ranger187]

Ok. You are not making sense now. If it's going to be a 1 click install, and not lose any functionality why ask which type to goto? As in option 1 or option 2. Based on your reply, that isn't the case.

My thoughts...

When upgrades happen, you still will need to re-upload the files, images and XML. So I don't see how much changes. Just less needed user wise to "install" the plugin.

I use the /me command. Hardly any of the others. Are the commands causing the issue from going to a 1 click install? If so, add that as an "addon" then ;) So the base install has all minus the commands. If they want commands they add it.

[Skyrider]

Disclaimer: Might be me.. Tired! ; )

Entering no message in the chat field results in a message telling me I must enter a chat. That's a good thing however, the screen area dims and I must hit F5 to get back. Same thing happens when I attempt to Private chat however, I can't seem to get it to do anything but tell me the user doesn't exist.

Any starting places I can look for the issue?

Update: 2 of 5 template exhibit the issue of dimming and needing refreshed so it's my problem but I could really use a tip to keep these two templates in place... (I can recreate the problem by inserting an image)

Yes but in your case you don't need lots of commands but it's not the same for others.

In option 2, this would be a one click install as the commands creation system would disappear

The only thing that would be lost is the possibility to create commands but no-one has released commands so far so I think it's not a needed feature.

If yes then it's on your hand guy, you must always revert templates upon any update.

Oops.. No, I'm sorry - I didn't mean to imply I edited the chatbox at all. I use 5 or 6 custom templates and the updated version works well in most cases but I've found that there are things that I can do to cause the style to 'dim' and not return without me hitting refresh (F5).
BBCode and then attempting to insert an image is one such action.

Is there a style sheet option that might be interfering? I reinstalled the chatbox after the update to 3.7.2 and it's still performing as before...

Any help GREATLY appreciated.

Leave it to me to screw that up too!

I have 6 templates for the site users can select from. The chat works well in all 6.
When I select the BBCode option, the menu inserts and I can insert email links etc.. and all is well on 4 of the six styles.

In two of the styles - the option "Enter the image URL" comes up on a dimmed screen and I enter the URL and click GO.. the screen remains dim.

I can get a screen shot but it's the same function as when you log off of vBulletin: The background screens colors fade/dim. That useful? (My primary screens are black so it's not real pretty in a screen shot)

This has to be within a style sheet somewhere doesn't it?


More Info: I think the word is Opacity and it's called for via a javascript function I think. The two templates/style in question are in the /images/ folder whereas the others are located a level up so the path to them is different.

How 'bout now?

[VBDev]

I just installed MGC last week on 2 vbulletin sites. We are all delighted with it.

But I do not see what the difference is with the new version.
Perhaps the way I use MGC is basic. Or perhaps the differences are in the code not the user level?
If I have to completely install again I need to know the reason.
Please do not think I am being rude or that I do not appreciate your hard work. It's a WONDERFUL piece of coding. The installation was excellently guided.
I just don't understand.


Separately ----
It is necessary for this mod to work well to see who is online before I know I can talk to them.
On forumhome this is not a problem. I copied the who's online code which is normally at the bottom, to the top. See screenshot.
This means user can see who is logged in.
User can then say hello and start chatting.
This is a HUGE part of why MGC works well. Without seeing who is logged in to the forums it is not possible to say hello except --- hello world - is anyone there? --- not satisfactory!
So the who's online (for forums) is very important to make MGC perfect.

But putting who's online (for the forums) on other pages is a big headache. I don't understand the construction of the other forum pages. There are bits on different templates that work together as a team - too complicated for me.
However MGC understands this clever stuff because in admincp you give me excellent simple options to put MGC on the other pages.
Can you tell me how to do this for the who's online code (for forums) --- it doesn't work to just copy the who's online code from forumhome. Must be php in header? or something that works OK in navbar but not in other places.

There is a whoisonline feature in the chatbox. You just have to activate it.

I use a side column - Ultiumate Side Columns
This is OK with MGC for logged in users because I set MGC as visible to registered members.
But when user first arrives before logging in it looks awful!
Because MGC is not there to fill the space next to the side collumn, the side column spreads all across the page - even though I set it to 110pixels.

This is not a tragedy as both my vbulletins are for members only. But it does not look elegant when user arrives.
What can I do to either
1) place an empty table there instead of MGC if MGC is not visible? - so MGC fils the space but does not display as a chat?
Maybe a notice: --- Forum Chatbox (you will see this service appear when you log in as a member) ---
OR
2) make the guest forums fill the MGC space if MGC does not display?

I am sorry but I don't see the problem with the chatbox. Am I wrong ?

I have a Fatal Error when UNINSTALLING the old shoutbox 1.5 product.

Catchable fatal error: Object of class vB_Database could not be converted to string in /www/mywebspace/forum/admincp/plugin.php(1497) : eval()'d code on line 6

There was I think an error in the uninstall code. Edit the product install code and check that there are no $vbulletin->$db in the code but $vbulletin->db instead.

I have the previous version installed before the new one you announced today

The time displays beside each line of chat is showing wrong. When it displays 09.00 it is really 9pm /21.00. When it shows pm it's really am.
In my screenshot just above the times showing 2.53 and 4.18 were not in the night but in the afternoon.
Not huge problem but maybe can fix?

There was a problem with time but only in the first version of the mgc chatbox evo. Now there shouldn't be such problem, are you sure there is no server problem ?

[maidos]

In the admin you don't have to put the _nosel.gif it's stated in the instructions :)

[maidos]

well i removed that nosel_gif but still doesnt give me the team icon picture :(

on chatbox forum it still gives me forum/shine/misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/mgc_cb_evo_team__nosel.gif

[VBDev]

Please open your eyes, don't you see there is a _ which shall not be there ??

I told you to remove "_nosel.gif" not to remove only "nosel.gi" !

[VBDev]

Before and during - Note the background opacity: I click GO after pasting in the url and it remains as shown in during. (Of course the "Enter The Image URL" box disappears as it should)

How 'bout now?

I am using a jquery addon so honestly I am not much of help on this one :(

[maidos]

i did remove the _nosel... its just that when i wrote i didnt include that _nosel.gif
Hm nvm i will try to figure myself on my own thanks anyway for u support =)

I think there is a problem within the ban commands VBDev. When I selected the group "Special registration Group" to have ban access, they seem to have 1/2 the access. /ban show and other ban related commands seems to be not working at all for them. They can ban, but unban would be a problem for them. Could you look in to this?

If the showban function works then the unban function should work too, the permission is handled exactly in the same way.

What makes you think it doesn't work correctly ?

[Ranger187]

VB, the one click install, will it keep the /me /ban commands? If it keeps the existing commands and doesn't allow the creation of new, I see no issues.

[VBDev]

Yes It would. However, the more I think at it the more I think it would be a massive load of work to go backward...

For the moment I think that I will certainly stay as is :)

And will do it once I have time for it he he !

[pedroenf]

You mean the menu ?

I have tested the chatbox in opera and it was working well I could see the menu.

Did you install commands ? Coz if you don't then you won't see any options in the menu.

Yes i did install it correctly. Works on FF and IE, and in Opera the menus work in the archive page of the chatbox.

[Ranger187]

Yes It would. However, the more I think at it the more I think it would be a massive load of work to go backward...

For the moment I think that I will certainly stay as is :)

And will do it once I have time for it he he !

If you plan on going to 1 click. I would stop making new versions. Work on the 1 click. release it as 1.0 or something (not changing name).....

[VBDev]

Yes i did install it correctly. Works on FF and IE, and in Opera the menus work in the archive page of the chatbox.

I did tested it on Opera when you reported it to me :(

Anyone can confirm that ?

If you plan on going to 1 click. I would stop making new versions. Work on the 1 click. release it as 1.0 or something (not changing name).....

I am currently not sure wether I will or not do it.

It needs really a major bunch of works, I think I need to think at it really more clearly.

[Ranger187]

Well, it's stable enough to not need a new release... If you want people to install easier, stfu, recode. ;)

Otherwise blah blah... Haha.

[pedroenf]

I did tested it on Opera when you reported it to me :(

Anyone can confirm that ?

Well i confirmed. But one thing you are right, works in Opera version 9.27 not in 9.5! Damm! So is not your mod's fault.

[VBDev]

Oh that's strange. Generally compatibility problem is downward not upward ...

I think I might have tested with an opera version earlier than 9.5.

Perhaps I should try to see what's wrong with opera 9.5, I note it !

[VBDev]

Well, it's stable enough to not need a new release... If you want people to install easier, stfu, recode. ;)

Otherwise blah blah... Haha.

Yes that's pretty right, perhaps I should follow those wise thoughts ;)

[pedroenf]

Thanks VBDev, it's very kind of you. But another thing that is strange is that the menus work great in the chat archive page.

[Ranger187]

Yes that's pretty right, perhaps I should follow those wise thoughts ;)

Yeah, I know..easier said then done. But you already have the lead/win in the chatbox area. Why not just own the competition and do the 1 click. k thanks k. ;)

[Skyrider]

If the showban function works then the unban function should work too, the permission is handled exactly in the same way.

What makes you think it doesn't work correctly ?
Because the usergroup that attempts to use the /ban show command says they don't have the access to do this. While the /ban xxxxx userid works fine for them. I gave myself the usergroup that have been selected within the ban plugin:

Skyrider, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


But when I try to do this command (with the same user):
/ban on uname Skyrider

I'm getting:
The user was successfully banned

Trust me, there is something wrong here.

[jalmz]

the latest version is not working in the arcade......

That would be the addon I thought, not this.

[gpc10347]

[VBDev]

Thanks VBDev, it's very kind of you. But another thing that is strange is that the menus work great in the chat archive page.

That's not necessarly strange, the way the menu is handled in the archives is different from inside the chatbox.

Yeah, I know..easier said then done. But you already have the lead/win in the chatbox area. Why not just own the competition and do the 1 click. k thanks k. ;)

I don't win from much installs ;)

I think I'll do it but what's a bit less fun is that if I do so, I'll have some dilemmas :

Team command will disappear as it will now correspond to creating a new channel is that a problem ?
How to handle the pm command ?
Only as a specific channel ?
Or having the possibility to either activate it has a channel or has a command in the general channel ?This change in the chatbox will force me to create an installer for the first release between the old 0.x.x versions to the new 1.x.x version as commands won't be handled as they where before. But I don't think that it's a major problem :)

How to handle the pm command ?

* Only as a specific channel ?
* Or having the possibility to either activate it has a channel or has a command in the general channel ?


Is it possible to view the pm in the channel where users do the pm ?

example : I create 1 channel, then in the channel i pm 1 user. The pm will visible in the channel where i am. Right now, the pm appears in the general channel :D

Thank's

[Skyrider]

But if you try that with your admin usergroup with these rights it works ?

Yes, then it works fully. The ban doesn't work properly with custom usergroups. Like, one you created yourself and you select that usergroup within the ban option menu to select who can use the ban commands. It works fine with moderators, super moderators and admins, just not custom usergroups.

Yes but still you can create a dedicated channel for it.

But your point is interesting, I could make the command work in any channel ! But no more in only a dedicated one (general channel or pm channel).

They can't (bitwise it would be stupid to ban yourself ;)). Only another user with ban rights could unban them.

so you mean : you can make the pm command work in any channel i created and as long as i'm in that channel, i will be able to see the pm ? The pm will not appears in the general channel or other channel i'm not in ? CMIIW.

Other things :

- Is it possible to add a notification for what channel you are in or active. Because it's quiet confusing when you have 2 or 3 channels and you don't know where you're active at the moment :D

- In the commands edit, the usergroup command setting permission is working great now, but maybe you can put "save and reset" button below it ? I mean below : Parameters of the command.

Yes the pm would be attached to the channel in which it's inputed.

The channel icon have different colors depending on which channel you're in so unless you changed images you shouldn't be confused.

for those having problems with images, i had this issue but i worked it out in my case any how u just can't drop in a gif called "support.gif" it won't work, you need to drop in the gif twice into the channel folder.

mgc_cb_evo_sup_sel

mgc_cb_evo_sup_nosel

The sup for me indicated which channel it was for in my case support, adjust to whatever your rooms/images are called.

I have 5 channels setup and it now replaces flashchat

Received, will look into it tomorrow.

for those having problems with images, i had this issue but i worked it out in my case any how u just can't drop in a gif called "support.gif" it won't work, you need to drop in the gif twice into the channel folder.

mgc_cb_evo_sup_sel

mgc_cb_evo_sup_nosel

The sup for me indicated which channel it was for in my case support, adjust to whatever your rooms/images are called.

I have 5 channels setup and it now replaces flashchat

hope this helps someone else

Yup this is due to the select. And if you have the blinking option too you have to add an image mgc_cb_evo_sup_new. :)

15 shouts are displayed in collapsed mode...30 in full page
Refresh is 30 seconds
On a shared host.

Jeez that's not a lot, can you give me a link to your forum + login info so that I can't check that latency.

I know VBDev added to the list, but let me mention my forum status:

*) Team Channel icon blinks at my forum.
*) Second issue is as you mentioned till first version of Chatbox..

Second issue will be fixed by the next version massive code change as explained earlier in the thread (just after last release warning message).

[commoncents]

I need this broken down for me

"Upload the content of the "Images" directory in each of your forum styles directories"

Am I only uploading the misc folder to the one on my forum?

Edit, i'm suppose to upload it in each of the cpstyles folder, correct?

[Ranger187]

If you have added styles, then in the /misc of all those styles you send the images up ;)

[commoncents]

i guess i'm messing up. i installed everything but nothing is showing up. i'm new at this stuff by the way :(

I'll breakdown what i did

Step 2 :
1/ Upload the files from the "Files" directory in your forum root

done, uploaded admincp, clientscript, includes folder along with the other two files.

2/ Upload the content of the "Images" directory in each of your forum styles directories

i assume this meant in the cpstyles folder so i uploaded the whole misc folder to each style in that folder

3/ Import the MGC Chatbox Evo product

not sure where i'm suppose to upload it but i uploaded it to the install folder...

4/ Go in your admincp, in the Language manager > Download/Upload language file and then :
- Select the language file from the "Lang" directory
- Select the forum language to overwrite
- Set the ignore language verison to Yes
- Launch upload

done

5/ If you plan adding the stats on the forumhome, go in your admincp and in the template manager and edit the FORUMHOME template and add the $mgc_cb_evo_stats where you want the stats to appear on your forum home.

didnt do

6/ You are done with the chatbox install, you can now edit your usergroups permissions or proceed with adding commands

not done :D

and i'm not sure what to do with the other folders (command/product)

Any help please:(

[Ranger187]

Usergroup.. Enable chat. You even said not done. DUHR ;)

And you never imported before? I take it this is your first plugin. Goto Plugins and import ;)

Question: How does the "inactive mode" work? And how much does it reduce server load by turning it on. Do you recommend I enable this?

[Ranger187]

Honestly, unless you are on a shared server resource (which most are) which is maxxed out, you shouldn't notice any difference.

I've had it enabled and people complain because they minimize the window and have to refresh or wonder why it "timed out"...

Didn't you post before that you had issues with resources or loading of all the chat history? I really think it's your host. That's why I host my own sites.

And inactive mode works just like a timeout basically. No activity and it "disables" the chat until you type or hit refresh.

Thanks - that gives me a better understanding.

Nope - must've been someone else. I've never had issues with resources or anything. And I'm currently on a Virtual Private Server and don't have any performance issues. I just like to keep speed high and server-loading low as much as possible.

Got it. Thanks for your help. I'll leave it disabled for now.

[Ranger187]

Virtual Private host = shared ;) Not dedicated unless you incorrectly described it.

If you keep the history under 200 lines, you should have virtually no performance issue. I keep mine at like 100-125 and have yet to hear anyone complain. You also don't want it set so low that nobody has a chat history.. ie: 10-20 lines.

[Fireproof]

You are right, it's still shared. :p Don't know what I was thinking.

Anyway - thanks for the history tip. I'll go see what my setting for that is as well. Cheers.

Still have a weird issue with this the chat box works just fine in the forums area all works great (i just redid the site)

How do I solve this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Solved. There were three files that I didn't delete after uninstalling the chatbox.

They were the ones that were causing this. One in the includes folder and two in the xml folder.

Once I deleted them and entered the usergroup permissions in the admin cp, the bitfields were rebuilt automatically and everything works fine now.

Can you try the following product update ?

I have not tested it but it should fix the bug.

Please once installed test that the chatbox display in forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread still works and doesn't fire any error. And also test the chatbox display on all pages.

If that fixes it I will release it officially.

You shouldn't have any of those errors anymore.

Have you select the chatbox to be displayed on all the pages ? If yes then I think you might have a customized chatbox template that you need to revert.

I think I know what you mean. I'll be in the chat... But tabbed (meaning more then 1 browswer tab) and on another site. I'll click back to the tab and I'm not listed. It's more an ajax thing??? (VBdev?) or something else. It's also more a feature then a necessity. Yes, it's nice to know who's in it, but who sits there waiting for a s/n to come on to post.

Anyone can help, to understand what is the difference b/w flashchat, MGC chat box, Cyb Chat box and AddonChat(Free version) ?

Google ;)

Flashchat uses ajax (I think) and java and flash. It intergrates into forum, it's not officially part of it.

CybChat is good, but lacks features (and no, I'm not saying cuz of mgc)

Addon chat? Never heard of..

MGC - Total intergration into forum.

My advice: Test them all, or find sites that use them. Prior to testing on YOUR forums, backup the forum db..... Always a good practice. Then decide which you and your users like. I've been using the chats for a few years and my personal choice is MGC due to support, updates, and just how it works.

If you would like help installing this on your site, send me a pm. I've helped numerous people get it going.

I love this hack and my members do it too... but the thing is, they post consecutively which is like flooding.

you have to add on a the del command. Once you have that installed you can type /del all and it will clear the chat box.

Chat is replying. ie: like consecutive typing. Would you rather less activity, or some crappy moderated something box?

IRC = Consecutive
AIM/Yahoo etc = Consecutive
FlashChat = Consecutive
MGC Chat = Consecutive


ETC ETC ETC. I disagree with your idea 100%. You don't want a chat box, you want a nazi run 1 liner. That's just my thoughts.

Forget the Opera9.5 issue. My mistake (or not), just uninstalled a re-installed and every menu are working fine.

But i have another issue with it. Even tried to install the old versions of the chatbox but none solved the issue. Only the chatbox deactivation solved it. The issue is with the (general) PM pop-up, and in IE shows the yellow warning triangule (see attach). When a PM is received the pop-up doesn't show. Any idea?

Edit: It only happens when receveing PM in IE. Opera and FF no prob, the pop-up shows.

I think I know what you mean. I'll be in the chat... But tabbed (meaning more then 1 browswer tab) and on another site. I'll click back to the tab and I'm not listed. It's more an ajax thing??? (VBdev?) or something else. It's also more a feature then a necessity. Yes, it's nice to know who's in it, but who sits there waiting for a s/n to come on to post.

There is timeout for the user to be considered outside of the box

Here you go....

All chats look identical if you ask me...

There are screenshots in the second post of the thread. There are not totally up-to-date but still pretty near.

The PM popup has been totally rewritten in the new chatbox version so I don't see the problem.

Bitwise I don't speak spanish so I can't undesrtand your screenshot ^

Which version because I am having the pop up not displaying issue as well. I am running the 0.5.0 version and don't get the pm pop up?

[aranthorn]

I'm having the loading... issue as well.

I un-installed/deleted all products and re-uploaded and installed from scratch.
vBulletin 3.6.8 Patch Level 2, dedicated server (very healthy)

What do you need from me to have a look at this? :)

[Ranger187]

Read the readme. Says to add the security token....

WARNING :

For users which possess:
- a vBulletin 3.6 version < 3.6.10
- or, a vBulletin 3.7 version < 3.7.0 RC4

There will be a javascript error due to Jelsoft major changes ...

To make the mod work with this vBulletin version, edit the mgc_cb_evo.js file and add at the top : var SECURITYTOKEN = "0";

This is not very clean but this is the only way to make it compatible with both versions of vBulletin. DON'T DO IT IF YOU HAVE THE GOOD VERSIONS OF VBULLETIN.

The problem is that in IE you don't get the Private Message pop-up and get that error that i show you in the attach. As i said before only happens in IE.

Please don't "insult" Portuguese people :cool:
I'll translate what says in the IE warning for you:
Line: 863
CARACT:2
Error: The object does not supports this property or method
Code: 0
URL: www.g6-team.com/index.php

See!? Wasn't so hard! Didn't even used a translator :D

Oh and Opera issue still remains! Unfortunately! But in strange way. I mean, the menus work but when the amount of shouts are so that the scroll bar is seen they stop working right. My trick: click the button, scroll down or up the chatbox and then the menu is working right (hope you understand me).

I tried uninstalling the product and now my forums wont load. PLEASE HELP.

all I did was remove the files from each directory (from the "Files" folder). I went to the admin page to uninstall the xml and I get a blank page.

(please note I'm only uninstalling this because I dont feel a chat box is right for my forum, the product itself worked just fine)

please help, I'm freakin out :(

You must carefully follow these steps if you don't want to screw up your forum when uninstalling the chatbox.

1/ Uninstall all the commands you had installed on the forum
2/ Remove the chatbox files from your forum directories
3/ Uninstall the MGC Chatbox Evo product
4/ You're done with the uninstall


I went straight to step 2 because I had no commands installed.

[Haenk]

In my opinion you must first uninstall the Plug-In and then delete the files.
