hmm...commands came with the product? I didn't see that in the install directions or the downloads. I must have missed something. What should I do to install those?
here are the steps I took:
MGC Chatbox Evo - > Manage Channels
"Add a channel"
Title: testtitle
Description: testdescription
Name of channel image: testimage
Order: 1
Warn user upon new message in channel: no
Activate the channel: yes
...or create a new command: testcommand
Usergroupds allowed to use this command: administrators
I then clicked "save"
I now see a broken image. Thanks!
Questions:
1) Is there a way to rename the "general channel"?
2) If no, then is there a way to turn of the general channel?
3) How do I create a /me command?
4) When creating a channel, the people that can view that channel are the user groups you gave access to that particular command?
5) In "General options" there is an option called "Number of days before automatic chats removal" and it says "Number of days after which the chats are automatically removed if the automatic chatbox digest is activated"
* I have searched in all of the MGC Chatbox Evo options and can't find the way to activate or deactive the "automatic chatbox digest".
Thanks for your help!
Right click on the broken image, click Properties and note the name and location of the image. Then make a button, name it the same as that one and upload it to the same location. You'll need to do that for all your custom channels.
Also, the installation for commands is, indeed, in the installation instructions. You have to upload and install each one separately.
I presumed that "digest" was referring to the archive. But I haven't had mine installed for more then the number of days I set it to expire to test that yet.

Because those are the only two you can choose for that option, or you can create one of your own. Near as I can tell, a commend is required to create an additional channel. Commands don't always involve adding something to the chatbox. Sometimes their used in the maintenance of it as well.
