Ok well replace the multiple occurences of :

nchattd.innerHTML = xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

By :

		if (xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild != null)
		{
			nchattd.innerHTML = xmlnode.getElementsByTagName('col_uname')[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
		}
		else
		{
			nchattd.innerHTML = '';
		}

That should fix it, let me know please.

When I uninstalled this modification it didn't fully remove it self. There's still bits of it stuck in vBulletin's usergroup Admin Panel area.

Are you sure you removed the file from your admincp folder?

For everyone having the problem where when you load the page and the chatbox sticks on "Loading..." the problem is that in /mgc_cb_evo/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_functions.js mgc_oldvb3 is not defined, in the beginning where theres all the vars are defined, add:

var mgc_oldvb3 = 0;

and it will work!

Hey, I was hoping ot get a little help here I am trying to install this onto my forum here.. I seem to have successfully installed it, but only one problem.. I can not seem to get the chatbox to display in the specified forum. When options are set to show on forum index, it works fine. I added the forum in settings to only show in that forum and it is not working. The forum ID is 57-Staff-Chat-Room... Any suggestions to get this fixed? Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions!

Can someone please help me get rid of the gap after the chatbox.

I changed the position of the chatbox by editing the Display management plugin like:

FROM:

PHP Code:

                {
                    $mgc_cb_evo_type_position    = "forumhome_below";
                    $mgc_cb_evo_insert_type     = 'replace';
                    $mgc_cb_evo_insert_template = 'FORUMHOME'; 
                    $mgc_cb_evo_replace         = ' $mgc_cb_evo ';
                    $mgc_cb_evo_find             = '$forumhome_markread_script';
                    $mgc_cb_evo_brb             = '<br />'; 
                    $mgc_cb_evo_bra             = ' '; 
                }
            } 
        break; 


TO:

PHP Code:

                {
                    $mgc_cb_evo_type_position    = "forumdisplay_below";
                    $mgc_cb_evo_insert_type     = 'replace';
                    $mgc_cb_evo_insert_template = 'FORUMDISPLAY'; 
                    $mgc_cb_evo_replace         = ' $mgc_cb_evo ';
                    $mgc_cb_evo_find             = 'custom phrase';
                }
            } 
        break; 


Now there is a gap between the next object.

Before the upgrade, I had the chatbox in that position without any gaps. Is there another place that in the new 3 version, there is a BR in some other related chatbox plugin?


BTW, The chatbox is just showing "Loading..." until the I click the reload button inside the chatbox. When clicking reload in browser does not help


Thanks!
