Where it says GCBOS at the top left of the chatbox window, the title of the chatbox, how can I change the title to something like: Chatbox ?

Find the GCBOS template and edit it in there

Thanks for the update! It fixed my previous issue.

[Charlie98902]

I tried and everything failed unless I didn't do the right one how about a direction to where?

A fantastic shoutbox with great possibilities. Thank you for your hard work mate, really appreciate it.

I do however have one problem. I added the shoutbox command to the navbar so it shows on all pages. Only problem is that on some pages, it looks really weird. Sometimes all the shouts are centered, other times the bbcode and all the commands are visible. I added a screenshot of the second example as an attachment.

Could you please take a look at this problem and let me know if it's fixable?
Thank you kindly in advance!

Followed directions, but it won't show?


This is what I did?

-Step 1
--Upload the contents of the upload folder to the root directory of your forum.

-Step 2
--Import product-gcbos in your acp (admin control pannel).

-Step 3
--Populate the user group permissions in the acp under Usergroups->Usergroup Manager->{your_group}->GCBOS

-Step 4
--Open the acp once again for GCBOS to display you need to add two template hooks first open headinclude and scroll to the bottom.
--Add "{vb:raw template_hook.headinclude}" (without the quotes to the end of the template save the template. Next open FORUMHOME
--and search for "<!-- /main -->" (without the quotes and add "{vb:raw template_hook.gcbos_display}" above (without the quotes)
--gcbos can be displayed on any page with this hook in ("{vb:raw template_hook.gcbos_display}").

I had this installed and working and etc. Then all of a sudden it disappears without any changes made or anything. The mod is still installed, and the template edits are still there. Any idea's?
