I meant have the option to allow notifications 'melted' or in their own column.

Shows up at the top of the page when you go to the archive -> actions -> view all chats of (user). Something seems to go wrong when checking for usergroup permissions.

I tried and it's not displaying that error for me.
Do you have specific commands active ?

Yep tested and it's indeed buggy, I'll look into it for next release.

That's is already possible but if I was separating the notifications from the chatbox (in a own mod), then the chats couldn't be melted with the chats but still could be put in a separate column.

Commands?

VBDev · #**6785** 08-26-2010, 11:09 AM

Yeah chatbox commands, see your acp

Barteh · #**6786** 08-26-2010, 12:30 PM

Interesting. I have three of those commands disabled by default: announcement, pm and team. If I enable those (i.e. all commands enabled), I get twelve warnings instead of three:

Code:

*EDIT*

And if I disable 'slap' in addition to the three above, all warnings disappear? I suppose I have my workaround now, but it is quite odd.

usually white screen indicates missing templates. Have you imported product????

Deimos · #**6790** 08-28-2010, 12:39 AM

Is it possible to display the FULL chat on a specific page? Rather than the standard/small chat?

I added $mgc_cb_evo_var to a page and it displays fine, but i'd rather see the full chat window

Or, is it possible to edit the template? or display of the full page, so I can add a video feed to it?

STORMS · #**6791** 08-28-2010, 11:59 AM

How do you unban someone? There's no option for it that I can see..
