Have you searched the forums for the answer?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?searchid=20807992 gives me tons of threads. I'm not patient enough to search them all.. I looked through 2 pages to try and find you an answer.

I've installed the mod, made sure the chatbox is activated in the settings and played around with the positioning of the chatbox, despite this, the chatbox is simply not displaying anywhere. The issue isn't template related because I've checked it on the default vbulletin style and it doesn't display there either.

Anyone have an idea what the problem could be?

- vb4
- seemed to installed fine
- chatbox activated
- tried all the display options
- didn't mess with any other settings

edit: NEVERMIND......needed to allow admins to view it...wierd

Yep i have search the forums and can't find anything that helps

If i open the chat to full screen it works however if i use the chat on the home page i just keep getting the security token error

[Ranger187]

QL, just search this thread for security token and you'll find it. I personally don't remember that error as it was like 2-4 years ago I last dealt with it. Maybe MGC/VB Dev can shed some light on this....

Whenever I try to validate a moderated thread on my system in the admincp, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function authorize_user_newthread_newpost_notif() on a non-object in /home/hobbymac/public_html/mgc_cb_evo/plugins/postdata_postsave.php on line 0

How can I fix this please?

Thanks,

Nelson

[Ranger187]

You are saying a moderated thread (not in the chat) is giving you issues?

Does the chat list new topics in the chat by chance?

Also what's line 0 say in postdata_postsave.php

[VBDev]

Hi,

To disable the error for the moment you can disable the newthread notifications.

To find out the problem, please can you tell me your vb version ?

Clément

[Nelson58]

I don't have new thread notifications enabled. I am using VB 4.2 PL3.

One user group has its first post to my board moderated.

When I click "validate" then "save" I get the error I listed above.

Nelson

Hello,

I have checked the code, there is no reason why it should fire this error.

If you lok in the php logs from your server, do you have any other error ?
