If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /home/content/j/u/a/juanchito/html/foros/includes/class_gcbos.php on line 128

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/includes/class_gcbos.php:128) in [path]/gcbos.php on line 143

So I went in class_gcbos.php and in line 128 found this

PHP Code:

$done = call_user_func($command['function'], $this, $command, $params, $message, &$output); 


There's an extra & right before $output... removed it, reuploaded it and it worked just fine =D

However... it's still showing the text with the "typewriter effect" and takes forever to load all the messages =S

Is there a way to disable it???

I had this issue to. Removing the "&" before $output solved it for me too. If it's suppose to be there, why is it causing errors?

Installed, but needs a few things to make it functional.

• An idle time out is mandatory, otherwise it's a chatbox, not a shoutbox.
• A rolling 24 hour archive, so people can look back and see what's being talked about.

Eventually more editor functions would be nice like formatted text.

That's much too vague for us to help. Usually this happens if you skip a step somewhere. Try reinstalling, making sure to follow each step carefully. Double check that your usergroups have permission to see the box, and that you've put the call somewhere in a template so that it's viewable.

Videx maybe he didn't do the template edit? Just a thought with what little he posted.

Thanks!

Bump.

Still getting the same error in the chatbox.

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of call_user_func(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /xxxx/includes/class_gcbos.php on line 128

At the top of this page, you say this

PHP 5.3
For GCBOS to work with PHP 5.3 you must have
allow_call_time_pass_reference
set to On

Where??

Nothing is said in the readme?

[dieKetzer]

allow_call_time_pass_reference refers to a setting in php.ini.
in your vb admincp, go to maintenance > view php info. find 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' and see if it is set to 'on'.
if it is not you will need to talk to your host.
