This ain't german, it's french.

Btw, I think you perhaps haven't gave a close look at the readme file in which install instructions are detailed.

English is available as additional language file, you have to install it (explained in the readme). I'll change this in the next version and will make it default english.

They accept, however, it is not yet functional:

Hello,

This change is not automatic at the moment, we just pass this information to our development.

Regards,

How do I know if it is operational? there would he a test script to be on it very active?

Thank you in advance

My host has installed the ioncube v 5.2 is not compatible with my PHP 5.3
If I buy the evo version 3.2.1 and I need to encrypt files?
I mean, customers could do without this encryption is not it?



<<<Bonjour,
J'ai demand? a mon h?te d'installer le ionCube loader (voir l'h?bergeur sur mon forum)
Ils ont accepter cependant il est pas encore fonctionnel:

Bonjour,

Cette modification n'est pour le moment pas automatique, nous venons de transmettre ces informations ? notre service de d?veloppement.

Cordialement,

Comment savoir s'il est op?rationnel ? il n'y aurait il un script test pour ?tre sur qu'il soit bien actif ?

Merci d'avance

R??dite:

Si j'ach?te la version evo 3.2.1 et il n?cessaire de crypter les fichiers?
Je veux dire, les clients pourraient se passer de ce cryptage non ?>>>

@ Vb Dev...

Im having this issue where my styles and languages settings are not fully there. Me and another guy on the main VB support forums worked it out and disabling your shoutbox brings the settings back...


For me and im not sure if this is the same for others, when i disable the mod from manage plugins my whole site goes down with this error

Fatal error: Call to a member function can_view_notifications() on a non-object in /home/user/public_html/includes/block/html.php(95) : eval()'d code on line 2

Im not sure if that is also caused by the shoutbox so wondered if you could let me know...

Thanks in advance...

With the ioncube for 5.2, I think you should be able to run the chatbox.
You can try if it's by just uploading the mgc_cb_evo.php file and calling it from your browser, you'll get a ioncube loader error if it's not compatible.

No even for customers files are encrypted.

Why did the host install the loader v5.2 while they are running PHP 5.3 ??

I mean the installer comes with a wizard telling the admin what to do..
But then again, admins don't like being told what to do .. lol

So, once again, he needs to ask the host to use the ioncube_loader_5.3
and maybe run the included wizard .. just a thought.

Check your tab before diagnosis if the host has installed the ioncube

See my first link

this link inocube indicating whether the site is active in the server
http://cibiforum.org/ioncube/loader-wizard.php
