vb.org Archive - Chat Modifications

Hi,

I've been using this for a little while now and actually, what I want from it is to turn off the chat functionality and just use it as a tool to notify people of new posts / replies.

I know you can turn off the notifications and just have it as a chat box, but is it possible to set it up the other way around?

Cheers!

Off the top of my head, I would say remove each usergroups permission to use the chatbox (but leave permissions to view it) and have notifications melted with chats. That should show the notifications in the chatbox without anyone chatting there.

Disable all the plugins, then enable the chat. If it still fails, uninstall the chat (broken record part - backup your shi*) FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS.........

Once you do that, update all the plugins.....meaning manually check if there are any updates, and do so.....

Reinstall the chat................

Report.

I can't remember what I changed, if anything at all.

Yeah, all of them have been upgraded (it hasn't worked for a while - months, at least). I don't know what that something is, though. I've looked through everything I can find ;(

I've tried disabling plugins then using the chat, it doesn't change my results.

I've reinstalled the chat more times than I can count, always with the same errors.

I have a thread on the forum regarding this error: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1896823

Thanks,

I really have no clue then. I've tried this a couple of times on my testboard and my regular board. At my testboard (with one language only) I only had to log out of the forum, log in again, and login to the admin panel.

At my regular board (2 languages) when I used overwrite on English only and did the logout thing, I noticed that some things in the Admin CP were English and some were still French. After doing the same to my other language everything was English like it was supposed to.

The only other thing I could think of is that your browser stores the language in your cache. You could try to logout of the admin CP, delete all cookies and cache, and login again, but I don't really know if that even helps.

Admin panel as well as some moderation options on the shoutbox seem to be in French (even after updating the language with English).

Re-importing the product seemed to fix it.

Can FULL uninstall instructions be provided for those it does not work for?
