[ashley76]

no clue... I didn't install this one... Let me make a change and see if that helps...

[ashley76]

Well, I changed it to the actual path to the misc folder and that worked. Sorry for all the confusion and thanks for the help and for a great product...

After the install all it does is say "Loading" on the chat box and it's also not in English. I installed the English language file. However, in my admincp some of the options are in a different language and the chat box language is not English?

Any help would be appreciated?

Hehe.... It won't display because you didn't edit usergroups. You didn't read the readme fully. Loading issue how to fix is in the readme as well. Did you add the var security edit? Did you upload all the files and into the correct locations? ie: drag/drop full contents.

As for the english language, you didn't import the english language file, or you didn't read the readme and select the options it says. Or you didn't refresh the admincp after.

If you need help, you can also IM me.

Appreciate your advice, but it didn't work for me.

I uploaded the English language file following the instructions. Most, but not all is in English. I did enable all the settings for the usergroups. I can see the chat box, but it just says loading.....

In the English read me file there is nothing that explains a fix for the "Loading.." problem. It's not mentioned anywhere in my readme file, so I am stuck.

And not all of the chat box icons will display. A couple of the icons won't display, but others will. They are all loaded into the right directory.

I did place var SECURITYTOKEN = "0"; into the .js file indicated in the read me. However, it is still not working.

Just viewing that image, I can tell where most of the issue is. Ya didn't upload everything. Because I see text links instead of the images. So that means you probably poo poo'd the install.

Recopy ALL the files over this time. Reimport the product (checking the overwrite option) and then reimport the laguage file. And you wouldn't know about the loading issue fix with the var token if you didn't read the readme. I just forget how it's worded in there...

But I think you are running apache and don't have mod_security configured.
