That should fix it temporary:

Plug-in: Newthread notification handling (moderation)

Search for:

PHP Code:

(" . TIMENOW . "," . $this->existing['postuserid'] . ",'" . $this->dbobject->escape_string($tinfo['threadid'] . "," . $tinfo['title']) . "',0,0,0,1,'thread'," . $tinfo['forumid'] . ") 


Replace by

PHP Code:

(" . TIMENOW . "," . $tinfo['firstpostid'] . ",'" . $this->dbobject->escape_string($tinfo['threadid'] . "," . $tinfo['title']) . "',0,0,0,1,'thread'," . $tinfo['forumid'] . ") 


The only problem will be, that when somebody moves a thread, it will be posted as an anonymous shout. But it fixes the database error and this is more important.

Hey, is this correct to fix it like this?

/admincp/mgc_cb_evo.php

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT MIN(dateline) AS start FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "mgc_cb_evo_chat WHERE isthreadwarning='0' AND ispostwarning='0'"); 


Replace by

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT MIN(dateline) AS start FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "mgc_cb_evo_chat WHERE iswarning='0'"); 


Or is there more that have to be changed?

I would like to know if there is a way to make the chatbox faster I already changed the refresh intervals but didn't seem to make a difference. Also I want to clear out my archives I don't know if that might help out to make it faster. How can I clear my archive for the chat?

Go to Chat Commands in administration and enable the /del command.

Then in chat type /del all or something like that.

[Gamempire]

well, i study the error that firebug gives me:

uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMHTMLTableSectionElement.appendChild]" nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)" location: "JS frame :: http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.6.0...ntainer-min.js :: anonymous :: line 50" data: no]

the error: NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER mean that there is something( "nsIDOMHTMLTableSectionElement") that the script can't append (the comand is: nsIDOMHTMLTableSectionElement.appendChild)

this create an infinite loop when the chatbox try to connect with ajax to the mysql database

(i have this problem with firefox and chrome, not with internet explorer)

i tried to empty cache and other things..nothing



can you fix it?


i would be very gratefully


EDIT: i also tried disabling all the other products, and it doesn't work

[Falon]

I have got ready installed this mod. But in my AdminCP when i going to Manage commands, Manage channels, View logs, Import scripts, Counters update i see only white page on my right side of AdminCP.

Mod is working. I can see on forum and using. But without Import scripts, Manage channels is not good for me.
?????

[nath89]

when i enable the chatbox nothing comes up on my homepage at all. just a blank screen?
