VBDEV, I just updated and wanted to approve a thread that was put in to moderation. When I attempted to do so, I got this error:

Invalid SQL:

INSERT INTO mgc_cb_evo_chat
(dateline,fromuid,ctext,sticky,chanid,coidentifier ,iswarning,warningtype,tpforumid)
VALUES
(1234718690,,'73265,Disable vac',0,0,0,1,'thread',63);

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''73265,Disable vac',0,0,0,1,'thread',63)' at line 4

Any idea?

[Doctor Death]

1. Is there any simple way to replace the Yahoo CSS so that you can read the error messages?

2. I am having a hard time understanding how to slap or use other "/" enabled keys. can you please provide a text example?

3. Is there an easy way to replace the "Boing" sound with something a little less irritating?

4. I love this mod... it is by far one of the best I have seen. Thanks a million, I will donate soon.

DD,

#3 is easy. put the sound you want in place of the boing, and simple rename it to the default sound.

#2, Make sure you enabled the commands. It's like the 1st or 2nd option for MGC in the admin cp

#1, Use Firefox and open the error console.

[Doctor Death]

I have enabled... trying to slap.....

so it would be

/slap Joesmith

or how?

Thanks for the note!

[Ranger187]

Command /slapThis command lets you slap another user. To slap another user, you just have to use either the menu available on the left of the message or by using one of the following syntaxes:

• /slap uid userid : Slap the user whom userid is passed as command parameter.
• /slap uname username : Slap the user whom username is passed as command parameter.

If you don't see that in the help icon it's not enabled. It should also be available in the drop down list next to each name. And if not, again, it's not enabled, or you didn't set permissions for usergroup.

I have two problems. In my chat box, were you type in what you want to say. It's all in a different language. I can't figure out how to change that. Any ideas? And when I slap someone it says The user you are trying to slap doesn't exist

EDIT: I GOT THE SLAP TO WORK BUT AFTER I PUT THE COMMAND IN IT SHOWS EVERYTHING IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE

Read the install file again. You didn't change the default language, or you didn't change the default prompt. Default prompt is in french. YOU have to change it to whatever you want if you enable it. It's in the MGC settings.....one of those categories........ near bottom.

Same with slap. Search this thread for "translation" or "french" and it should show a post from VBDev and from me with the answers. I'm not searching 260 threads.

ok i see what your talking about can you translate these

Displayed when user is limited in number of posts per day
<b>Vous ne pouvez pas envoyer de message car vous avez atteint la limite de chats en 24H de votre groupe d'utilisateurs</b>

/slap command : content of the message
{1} gifle avec violence {2}

Hence my "search for".... I don't speak french. Search forthat gifle.... it shows a thread where vbdev translates all that.

[FRANKTHETANK 2]
