Hi Ranger, can I just clarify.

So have the Chatbox permanently up, and make it accessible by a usergroup only.

Add all members to that usergroup, but disable the usergroup's access when I don't want them using it.

hi, all!
i hope someone could help me here; i bought the pro version back ago and support didn't solve my issue - instead they closed my support thread. very professional...

anyway, i need this one solved, so please; any hints would be appriciated.
i'm running this mod for some time now and everything ran well untill updated to latest 3.3.0 version. now my sidebar notifications doesn't work anymore.

what it does is that (when notifications are enabled) the chatbox keep reloading itself and there is no notifications sidebar (forum block) present.

while i was debugging this issue i found out that i can temporarly set this running if i do the following (in these very steps):
- enable sidebar notifications
- clear system cache
- reload the forums

now the sidebar notifications are present
- if i reload the forums again, the stuck reloading issue repeats
and so on...

i'm lost.
:(

thanks

That issue was resolved in 3.3.0. Also make sure mod security isn't enabled.


Yes. Basically you add them to a secondary group (You can use sql and mass do this) or you can just have VIP/paying etc etc.

If you need help with it, just PM me.

I want to inquire about the running of one of the scripts that comes with MGC Chatbox Evo,

mgc_cb_evo/cron/mgc_cb_evo_ban.php

We're currently on version 3.2.3 (so we have applied the fix for checking ban expiration on permanent bans ourselves), but my question is unrelated. Where is this script called from, and how often? A few minute bans tend to take a lot longer than a few minutes because of the frequency of this script's running.

Edit: Never mind, found it in the scheduled tasks.

I ordered the paid version plus professiona install on the mgcproducts site. Yesterday evening someone attempted to install the chat plugin on my site and from appearances they uploaded over my admincp so that the only file that shows in there is mgc_cb_evo.php . Needless to say my site has crashed. Yesterday evening I patiently posted in mgc priority support, PM'd "MGC" and PM'd VBdev on this site without one reply. At the very least I would expect someone to have the courtesy to send me a message to say that the site wa down and they were working to resolve it or inform me if they could not fix it. I chose MGC because of the volume of traffic on this thread and the number of installs, but my forum has been down for 14 hours without a peep from anyone. I am forced to restore it my self and still be without the product or service I paid for. Very BAD experience.

Plus pro version cannot be installed because of stupid errors in their files. I'm waiting for answer of their support but I think they will tell me that's my problem :P

I'm having problems getting it to load. It only displays chat after I type and post in chat box. any known fixes. I am on 4.0.7 and 3.0.0 worked fine

How do I enable it so sending a PM to someone shows in a new tab, as it currently just shows in the shoutbox?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

With latest version, you can choose are you want to display PM messages on general tab. And If you want to chat with someone on private tab, just click on his/her username. New tab will open, and you can chat private.

That doesn't seem to work, as when I try and PM it just shows in the shoutbox, doesnt open a new tab. I guess I must have missed something. Could you tell me where I can edit the settings to display messages on the general tab, sorry I'm a novice haha :D
