You are having that problem with no lang imported ?
Do you have such problems on ajax functionnalities like quick reply (ajax based with no page refresh) ?
I don't understand............I have upload as in readme:"Upload the content of the Files folder in your forum root.
Upload the content of the Images in each of your forum styles directories. " And I import just the product-mgc_cb_evo.xml.
Do I have to upload ou import aloso English.xml ? to where exactly, like product-mgc_cb_evo.xml?
I have never a problem of ajax for the moment. Quick reply works well.
I used to use the vBShout v2.0 ChatBox that was originally created by ZeroTolerance, which I believe now has been renamed into Inferno vBShout Lite. In any case while these two mods are basically the same, unfortunately there are some differences in the table names thus making it not possible to use the Inferno Import Script to import chats from vBShout inot MGCEVO.
So I reworked the import script a little to allow the importing of vBShout Chats into MGCEVO. Just posting this up for VBDev if you would like to implement this into your next version, or if anyone knows what they are doing they could use this to import also. Just replace the mgc_cb_evo.php file from your admincp folder with the one that I have attached. Then your "Import Scripts" page will show up like this.
Also this mgc_cb_evo.php file is from the current 2.1.0 version.
Both the original, as well your new version is not able to import vbSout.
To make it possible just one correction is needed . TABLE_PREFIX . in line 672
Change in the line 672
Code:
$check_vbshout = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SHOW TABLES LIKE 'shout'");
to
Code:
$check_vbshout = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SHOW TABLES LIKE '" . TABLE_PREFIX . "shout'");
