Ok, when I enable some of the commands, like Delete, PM etc, my users get this at the top of the page

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/functions_mgc_cb_evo.php on line 923

Disabling all commands is the only way to get rid of it

Any suggestions?

1. Did you FULLY uninstall the previous chat? That means ALL files?
2. Did you d/l this prior to the multiple updates done today?

[Ranger187]

Yeah.........installed the final because the beta stopped scrolling (newest first) and now all the replies = empty. Ugh. I'll look at it later....too tired.

These are options and thus are in french ;-) You then can change them to wathever you want.

Maybe I'm tired, but class_mgc_cb_evo_cmd.php is not in this new zip.

Odd, I renamed that file and it still works. Seems it's not needed upon final. VBdev, verify this when you get back from your holiday. Thanks.

And uninstalling beta, and reinstalling seemed to fix it. Time will tell.

Ok, I can't get the shoutbox to work...I installed everything correctly, but the shoutbox won't work.

I installed the: [vB3.6.x-vB3.7.x]MGC_Chatbox_Evo_1.0.0.zip (280.5 KB, 107 downloads) version.
That is the newest one..I thought I don't have to install anything else.

Do us all a favor. READ the instructions

Usergroups.... Enable it in there.

Great, that helps, thank you.

BTW: there are still some french words that need to be edited on my chatbox:
On the box before you type in it says: Entrez Votre Chat...I need that changed, I went through the options, but I can't find what I have to edit to get that changed.
I want it to be changed to Type Here.

[Ranger187]

See this for 1.0

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2213 <--- If you are talking about the ban one... Yeah, change it yourself...

I personally remove the prompt

In the ADMIN CP > MGC area > Chat Formatting

Show a small prompt message in the chatbox
To avoid users from taking this field has a search field.
Yes No

And

Message to display in the input field on page load
Only displays if the previous option is activated and for the defined usergroups

Yeah yeah... I rock.

I bet saying 'I want' rather than 'could you' really helps in life. Try looking a bit harder at the bottom of the Chats Formatting options.
