Hi,
Thanks, have been away quite a long time due to location move, lack of motivation and lots of work.
I have started refixing the remaining bug, should provide beta ASAP.

One thing I know about him, he's persistent. He's built this from the ground up so I don't see him just tossing it out. Give him some time. http://www.forumcoding.com/content/ is his site... They just had a NIC fail so the sites giving some errors.
If memory serves me correctly you dont put the button images in the 'skin' folder they are in the generic image folder so it doesnt matter how many skins or themes you have it will always display your buttons no matter what..
Warning: require_once([path]/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_core.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(103) : eval()'d code on line 4
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/var/www/jtv.cc/forum/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_core.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/jtv.cc/forum/includes/class_bootstrap.php(103) : eval()'d code on line 4
To tell the truth, i cant see ANY class_bootstrap.phpin the include folder, neither in the chat files, nor in the vbulletin native files...
Cant tell about the other files, but everything was uploaded fine
You will definitely have class_bootstrap.php in your includes directory as vBulletin wouldn't work without it. Did you upload the content of the Files folder to your forum root?
Make sure you didn't upload all the folders in the mgc folder by mistake as this would give you 2 includes directories on the server.
Content of Files folder > forum root
Content of images folder > forum root/images
Edit:
I am an idiot. I uploaded to the wrong domain... lol Sorry about that...
It's all good bud. I've spent many a nights trying to figure out issues only to realize I should have just gone to sleep and worked on it when I had a clear mind. Kudos for saying you oopsied! Lord knows I've done some idiotic mistakes only to have my friend walk by and go, hey turd, you are working on the wrong site. DOH! NO WONDER THE UPDATES WOULDN'T SHOW! BWAHAAH! Cheers!
Don't we all buddy. I've been up for 2 days straight coding and doing server work and I'm waiting for a big "UH OH" which is why I keep taking backups and hot cloning the VMware sessions. LOL! Glad you got it worked out.
VbDev should be posting shortly as he's back and should be offering updates. I've been on the new MGC Chat v3.1.0 (not public yet) and it's stable so hopefully I get a new beta soon!
