I know I know but making it working with vbadvanced is not always that easy and I don't know vbadvanced a lot so it needs time.

I'll do my best to work out with stangger5 to get it working as soon as possible !

[maidos]

well since you added a feature for coders themself to use and customize their own commands im wondering if there are any possibility to create this command on shoutbox so it can open up a new window with a forum section

[sickboy6ths]

I want to thank you a million for the extremely well created update, or reincarnation!
The features are awesome! The performance is great! The code seems to be looking very well!!

The commands importing/exporting is simply genius!

Thanks again!


ps. we use the shoutbox on every CMPS page simply by putting the mgc_chatbox_var thing in the header

You mean through a command, being able to open one of the forum sections by giving its forumid ?

For example, if you have a forum with id 5 you would type : /fopen 5 and it would open the forum in a new window ?

I know it works with vbadvanced when you are in the same folder as your forum.

But if you use vbavanced with the forum in a directory it won't work ! I suppose you're not in that configuration

[maidos]

yeah thats my point, i want a command that it opens a new popup or new window whichleads to a new forum section and a new url site like forum/downloads.php

where can i add it theres html codes php codes and go no clue where to do that or how

I think there is an error in the spanish language xml file.

I'll check that out later in the day.



Oh yes you're right ! there is a little bug for the unregistered users, will correct that.

About the usergroup default text color, what did you encountered exactly ? Which browser where you using ?



You encountered that error in the index page ?

its not working... =(
