To have ChatBox enabled on desired page:
1. THIS_SCRIPT must be defined in php file (by default all important vBulletin files has this)
2. Hack options - You must add THIS_SCRIPT value for target page to "Show ChatBox on" setting field
3. Main template called on target page must contain "$cybchatbox" variable

To have ChatBox enabled on vBa CMPS:
1. Hack options - Add "adv_index" to "Show ChatBox on" setting field (values in this field should be separated by commas) > Save
2. vBa CMPS Default Settings - add "cybchatbox" to "Portal Output Global Variables" field (values in this field should be separated by carriage return) > Save
3. [Optional] Template "adv_portal" - add "$cybchatbox" to line where you want ChatBox to appear (for example below "$navbar") > Save

2x Cyb!

No need for #3. If you do this, it'll add two chatboxes on your cmps below $navbar. Working like a charm. Thanks :)

***EDIT....you should add this to your install notes as another advantage to using the utility. I think a lot more members will go with this because of it's ease of use.

We are using this very active on our forum. Missing a "beep" or a sound saying there is a new message there.. maybe controlled with a checkbox default off.. would be nice as I am not always looking at the chatwindow...

I have followed the instructions but can not get the chatbox on the vBa CMPS. I don't have a "portal output global variable" field. I have a "global vBandvanced settings" with header, navbar and footer replacement fields.

*Okay to see that "portal output global variable" I had to go to Default Settings then click on Main Options
By doing this and adding "adv_index" I get no results, but if I do step 3 also I get the chatbox but it says "loading" all the time. I am stumped.

Okay I have checked and rechecked, even upgraded chatbox. Still same thing, it works on forumhome, but loading on my vBa CMPS. Are these two linked? Meaning what is posted on one is posted on other?

Is there a way to ban users from Editing their previous posts? I see an option to keep them from deleting, but how about Editing? There is a bug that if you ban IMG tags, users can still post a message, then edit that message and add an IMG tag to make the photo show up. Is there a way to prevent users from Editing their own posts?

For anyone still having issues with vBA and Cyb Chat, Cyb Chat won't work with vBA if vBA is located in another directory than your forums.

I used the Custom Vb pages in the articles section.

I'm wondering how do I get the Chat box to show there.
I have tried to add $cybchatbox but it doesn't show.

Help?

Not for anything.....but why would you put vba in another directory besides the forum directory? VBA is supposed to be installed in the forum directory.

Actually it can be installed outside of the forum directory as well as inside. I just had it installed by the vBa guys and this is how they installed it.

I have been having an issue with not staying logged in since I upgraded to the new version anyone else having this issue?
