Only like a day.

All of the posts in the chat disappear on non-full view mode.

If you have activated the notification system it's normal.

Each notification is considered as a chat ! (To avoid adding one query)

I noticed a bug:

If you type a new line too fast, it won't show up right away.

AGREED!!! haha I have been needing that feature for a long time. I usually have to go into MySQL Administrator and delete them directly from the database. So a select all tick PER ARCHIVE page would be great. That way you could tick like all the shouts on a certain page and then delete all the shouts on that page. :up:

Same here!

Loving this new chatbox. It helps greatly with the live feed.

One idea for the next box, if not planted already.

The ability to not have certain forums show up in the new threads & posts.

Unless this is already a possibility, then ignore my stupidity. =)

Happy Holidays all.

At risk of annihilation - is there a version of the mod for vBadvanced to accompany the new version of chat or, did I miss something that would prevent the "Loading..." message on CMPS? ( apparently working well inside the /forums folder)

Yeah seems like there is a small problem with the YUI thing.

I'll look at that next week when back home and try to release a bug fix ASAP.

Go to Admin CP ==> Style & Templates ==> Search in Templates.
Search: chats_remove (in mgc_cb_evo_archives)
==// Cut the found code below ====================

Code:

<if condition="$show['delete_column']">
<form name="chats_remove" method="post" action="mgc_cb_evo.php">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="inline_remove_chats" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{$vbulletin->userinfo[securitytoken]}" />
</if>

===========================================

Just in there:

Code:

   <!-- / Javascript popups -->
===> paste in there!
   <!-- Chats -->

The result:

Code:

<!-- / Javascript popups -->
<if condition="$show['delete_column']">
<form name="chats_remove" method="post" action="mgc_cb_evo.php">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="inline_remove_chats" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{$vbulletin->userinfo[securitytoken]}" />
</if>
<!-- Chats -->

bodaudinh · #**3471** 12-27-2008, 05:38 PM

Just add <input type="checkbox" name="allbox" id="allbox" title="Check All" onclick="js_check_all(this.form);" /><label for="allbox"></label> in mgc_cb_evo_archives
