PHP Code:

{alert("Ajax error: an error has occured in an ajax request of the chatbox, please report your admin")} 


So, do I have to also include the { and } or just like you said?

If I follow what you said, the remaining code should be:

PHP Code:

{var vB_Default_Timeout=15000;function vBulletin_AJAX_Error_Handler(a){}} 


Is that correct? I just want to make sure...

Yes that is

[Wheemer]

Can the chat please somehow work with the arcade and zoints?

[KevinL]

It already works with the arcade...its in the install instructions(read them) and whats wrong with zoints?

[Wheemer]

Thanks I got it working in the arcade now, I had not seen those instructions prior.

On all my zoints pages the chatbox never displays any content, it always says loading.

[Wheemer]

Actually now it doesn't display at all on my zoints pages..

Yep that works but I have noticed that JPG files show up but it does not work with PNG files. I did not try GIF files yet.

OK tried it... and it seems to work (removing the Javascript error) but brings up another issue. Not sure if it's related but I started to receive double messages when writing one chat sometimes... Could it be related? I don't have any idea.

Well I don't know zoint pages at all so I can't tell why it's not working.

If those pages are built with a function then it's normal as the chatbox var is not globalized in that function.

Well it's using vB bbcode parsing so if png files don't work in the chatbox it's certainly not working elsewhere on the forum.
