So, I have a query now
I want it displayed on all pages, so I found:
"Show ChatBox on (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations) Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)"
I blanked it out which seems to make it appear in most places. However, it doesn't appear at the top of 'Search' pages (specifically 'New Posts')
EDIT: If there are unread threads, it does appear. If there are NO unread threads, it doesn't
So then I tried disabling auto-templating, and adding it manually to the bottom of the 'navbar' template, which gave exactly the same results - displays fine on forum home / forum list / thread etc, but not on the search results screen.
Any ideas how I can get it to display on the New Posts page?
vBulletin 3.7.2 btw.
P.
EDIT 2: I think it's due to the fact it's using the STANDARD_ERROR template to display the "no posts found" message. It's definately still calling the parse_templates hook, so there must be something in the code it doesn't like.
EDIT 3: The standard_error() function basically doesn't pass the correct information

There goes my limited vBulletin knowledge. sniff..
