There have been no recent reports of a exploit in this mod.

I'm waiting to hear back on the possible exploit. I need a chat app, but I've been hacked a few times, and am concerned. Any news?

I'll check every single line of code of this mod for SQL injection, LFI, RFI, RCE, etc. whenever I have some time on my hands. As far as I know this mod is pretty safe though.

Ozzy,

Sorry to bother you, but I know you know a lot. In mobile, I still get this error when anyone signs in.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ..../mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php on line 0
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ..../mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php on line 0


Would you have any idea what is causing that and how to fix it?

Thank you very much!!!

No I don't, as I do not run this mod.

[Nelson58]

I've asked here and on their site, and gotten no response.

What is de best setting for validity en who's in ( advanced settings) ?

I can't seem to get it correct. Both settings seems to affect each other.

When I increase the time (so people won't show as inactive when not typing) it also affects the time they still show active when they leave the chatbox.

Got them both at 1 minute now, otherwise they leave and they still show as active in the chatbox for a long time. Problem is when they don't type for a minute they show inactive also ( name disappears).
