I need it so that just the chatbox gets launched in its own window (without anything else - no forum header, logo, navbar or other VB stuff), say 640x300px in size, via a single link to launch it.

I think you could achieve this pretty easily.

Open the mgc_cb_evo.php file, search for :

PHP Code:

/* Chatbox display in full mode */
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == "view_chatbox")
{
   /* The user can't view the chatbox or full mode is not yet enabled ? */
   if (!can_view_mgc_cb_evo() || !$vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_fullmode_active'])
   {
      print_no_permission();
   }

   $HTML = build_mgc_cb_evo_display($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_fullmode_height']);

   $navbits = array();
   // change the line below to contain whatever you want to show in the navbar (title of your custom page)
   $navbits[$parent] = $vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_title'];

   $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
   eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

   // change the line below to contain the name of the actual main output template used in your script
   eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');
} 


Here you should change that to :

PHP Code:

/* Chatbox display in full mode */
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == "view_chatbox")
{
   /* The user can't view the chatbox or full mode is not yet enabled ? */
   if (!can_view_mgc_cb_evo() || !$vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_fullmode_active'])
   {
      print_no_permission();
   }

   $HTML = build_mgc_cb_evo_display($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_fullmode_height']);

   // change the line below to contain the name of the actual main output template used in your script
   eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('mgc_cb_evo_page') . '");');
} 


Then at the top of the file, add mgc_cb_evo_page in the globaltemplates var, it should look like :

PHP Code:

$globaltemplates = array(
   'GENERIC_SHELL',
   'mgc_cb_evo_archives',
   'mgc_cb_evo_static_chatbit',
   'mgc_chatbox_archives_nobit',
   'mgc_cb_evo_channel_button',
   'mgc_cb_evo',
   'mgc_cb_evo_editor',
   'mgc_cb_evo_chatbit',
   'mgc_cb_evo_chatbit_menu',
   'editor_jsoptions_font',
   'editor_jsoptions_size',
   'mgc_cb_evo_help',
   'mgc_cb_evo_help_bit',
   'mgc_cb_evo_smilies',
   'mgc_cb_evo_rules',
   'mgc_cb_evo_table',
   'mgc_cb_evo_table_bit',
   'mgc_cb_evo_search',
   'mgc_cb_evo_page'
); 


Then edit the clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_functions.js file append to it :

function open_chatbox_window()
{
   window.open(bburl + "/mgc_cb_evo.php?" + SESSIONURL + "do=view_chatbox" , "view_chatbox", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,left=0 top=0,width=640,height=480");
   return false;
}

Last step is to edit the mgc_cb_evo_editor template, search for :

     <if condition="$vbulletin->options[mgc_cb_evo_fullmode_active] && THIS_SCRIPT != 'mgc_cb_evo'">
        <if condition="$vbulletin->options[mgc_cb_evo_fullmode_link_topopup]">
           <a href="mgc_cb_evo.php?$session[sessionurl]do=view_chatbox" target="_blank"><img class="inlineimg" id="mgc_cb_evo_fullmode" title="$vbphrase[mgc_cb_evo_fullmode]" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_full.gif" alt="$vbphrase[mgc_cb_evo_fullmode]" border="0" /></a>
        <else />
           <a href="mgc_cb_evo.php?$session[sessionurl]do=view_chatbox" target="_top"><img class="inlineimg" id="mgc_cb_evo_fullmode" title="$vbphrase[mgc_cb_evo_fullmode]" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_full.gif" alt="$vbphrase[mgc_cb_evo_fullmode]" border="0" /></a>            
        </if>
     </if>

In the two links of that bit of code add before the end of the opening <a tag add :

onclick="return open_chatbox_window();"

I have not tested but this should work !

If it does I perhaps would implement that in the next version.

Don't forget to activate the chatbox in full mode option.
