Have you set usergroup permissions and so on correctly.

I have fixed and tested the channel not appearing bug in this version.

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.

I honestly still do not catch the problem :eek:

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.

That help?

I don't know the word dimmed, what does it mean ? Can you make a screenshot and post it here please ?

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.

Does that help any at all? Thanks again for your patience...

Thanks for your support :)

About that feature, I could do so that you can open a popup where username are suggested upon typing ?

Yes that would be a great feature VBDev, could it show all usernames of the Forum?

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?

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.

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 ?

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.

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 06-30-2008 07:35 PM

the mgc channel is mgc_cb_evo_team_nosel.gif

on admincp

but when i view the main forum i still get the red cross no image displayed and when i right click the xcross i get misc/mgc_cb_evo/channels/mgc_cb_evo_team_nosel.gif_nosel.gif
