Hi,

What sound notification? There is an option to enable the sound.

Did you try that?

[VBDev]

Ok there is a bug for the sound notification

Open the mgc_cb_evo/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_functions.js.

Search for :

/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/sound/new_chat.swf

Replace by :

/mgc_cb_evo/clientscript/sound/new_chat.swf

Hi,

I did everything the manual said, but the chatbox is on 'loading' forever.

I'm doing an uninstall and a reinstall.

Also, where do I upload the content of the folder 'Channel_icons'?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT

After removing everything trying to do a fresh install, i get a db error.
Strange thing is, everything has been removed and the CP says 'rebuild bitfields successful' (or something like that).

What am I missing?

[viader]

I have found bug (I'm too lazy to check if it wasn't already listed)

Firefox 3.5, and newest Opera - all icons aren't showing. Only when using the Darkness style (link https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231670 )

Hi VBDev, thanks for upgrading this to version 4.
I have a small issue. I installed it and the shout box works perfectly well except that there seems to be excessive padding beneath the shout bot that pushes the forum down.
I've tried all the themes I have including the default theme and the result is the same... could you tell me where I can edit to adjust the padding please?

[Halfhidden]

@ ellinofatsa I replied to your pm.

I've just below the chatbox vb4.0.3 installed and everything seems to be working. Only appears at the top of the header following error ...

Warnung: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php (Zeile 760)

Perhaps you could upload the images in each of your styles misc dir as stated in the readme.

Have you read the install instructions they are honestly totally clear.
Becareful, some remaining french texts are options that you have to set

Ok try that :

Edit the mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php file.

Around the line 760, search for:

PHP Code:

if ($this->registry->options['mgc_cb_evo_act_autocompletion']) 


Replace it by:

PHP Code:

if ($this->registry->options['mgc_cb_evo_act_autocompletion'] && is_array($this->registry->mgc_cb_evo_commands)) 


And tell me if that fixes it.
