I have already did all the instructions in the readme and i am able to see the options in cpanel but i don't see the chatbox in the actual forum. :[ im using 4.0.6 help please? i activated the forums already and stuff..
Yep, no js error. The strange thing is that it doesn't even seen to be loading when Loading is displayed. I remember in other versions, when it was loading "Loading..." the 3 after dots were blinking to tell you it was loading. Now its just stayes there as "Loading...", I can hightlight it and copy, it even shows the word "Loading..." when i look at the source code via firefox.
Seem the same as my issue.
Does it load if you click the refresh button or chat in it for you guys?

Negative ghostrider. I'm guessing you didn't goto the usergroups and enable it. You might also have to revert your templates.
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!
The option to display the chatbox on specific page only is buggy in the current version (but fixed in the next).
However, can you tell me what you input in that particular field because specifiying an url won't work, it's based on the THIS_SCRIPT var. But please post a screenshot of the options.

Lang has to be imported as well as products.
Other folders are not to be taken into account for upload.

No different files one is the admin page the other is the archives, download, full page mode page.

Yes for the image If you are using default style, otherwise you also have to upload that into your style misc directory too.

In fact, I'd love to have the chatbox automatically recognise and convert URLs the way the normal post box does.
*EDIT* must've overlooked the URL BBcode toggle. Still, automatic recognition would be a great addition.
Ain't possible, URL are parsed by vB BBCode parser so if URL BBCode is not ON, automatic recognition is not possible.
No, refresh button doesn't work also chat in it, I can only view chat content in archive after submit chat in Loading... screen .
Have you done a fresh install or an update ?
