I was updating to newest version 2.4.2 and now when going to my site you get an error..

Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_view_mgc_cb_evo() in /home/......
/forums/modules/mgc_cb_evo1.php on line 3

I read that it isn't compatible with VBadvanced or something? But I don't even have the chatbox enabled to show on my vbadvanced page so I am confused.

Does anyone have any information about this.

I just figured this out, as it donged on me that the module itself needed to be removed if it isn't compatible which is what I had previously read.

If you get this error what you need to do is go into ADMIN CP > VBA CMPS > EDIT MODULES >
If you have the MGC chat box module showing you need to get rid of it. I deleted mine and fixed my issue.

Hey,

Thanks for the awesome addon. Marked as installed. My forum members are loving it.

Now I have the typable field set to be underneath as this looks cleaner. But because there is excess space I was wondering how I could make it wider? Where can I find the code to change the typeable field's width?

Thanks

Hi,

In option 'chats formatting' look for "Input type editor: input field size".

And change that.

nevermind, got it solved

[morrow]

After reading hundreds of posts and trying EVERYTHING by "THE LETTER"! I finally stumbled upon a solution (for me at least)...

I upgraded from a perfectly working version only to be confronted with the "LOADING" message. I edit the .js files, re-installed, and everything else this thread recommended doing.

I'm running vbulletin off of my root and vBA.

My Solution may or may not work for you but it won't damage anything to try...

Copy the clientscript directory in the .zip file into your root.

For example...

www.yoursitename.com/clientscript >>>>Copied to here.
www.yoursitename.com/forums/clientscript

I'm running the "forums" version. So I copied the clientscript dir to the root and voila. Not the cleanest but I searched high and low for a reference to the php file within all of the files in the script to change the path but could not find it.

It's working now and I'm happy.

in private chats (tabs) how do i make new messages appear on bottom? This works in main chat channel window (as i have set), but i can't find where to set that for private chats

also, it seems that on private chat windows are not autoupdated, so if chat partner sends me a message, i don't see it unless i click on main chat channel window... any ideas how to get that working?
