Thanks for this; it seems i've actually loaded it properly the first time (which is a miracle in and of itself, let me tell you!) but I do have a couple of issues I hope you can help me solve.
I did import the Lang file, and followed all those directions; however, the initial 'type chat here' is in French, as well as all other 'fill in box' phrases/words. Also, in the admin control panel, while all the directions/individual pages are in English, the pulldown box titles under 'MGCChatbox Evo' are also in French.
I can't seem to find an option to change those to English, other than translating them individually. Any suggestions?
One other stupid question - where can I change the color of the box?
Is there a way to unban someone in the MGCChatbox?
We were testing the ban process on our site and it permanently banned a helpful member from the chatbox?
Please respond, any info welcome.
The answer is available to you by clicking the "?" icon on your chatbox: /ban show : Open a popup window containing the list of users banned from the chatbox with the possibility of unban users simply through buttons in this window.
The error of the chat is not automatically updated and talks a hard time maintaining a conversation with people, please help me with this, I'm totally lost.

Thanks again!
You can change chat here in Chats formatting and sending in the admincp, look around and you will see where to edit the other fill in boxes.
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:
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 1412

*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.
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?
Not sure what you mean ?

There are options that need to be set to your expected text in english.
I'll in the next release provide translation to those who only want default text (with instructions of course on how to install it).

[/QUOTE]
Which box ? Chatbox is using default style colors and so on.

This is the only CB that works superb with imgur hosted images either in GIF or jpeg formats. All other CBs including cyb etc fail when dealing with imgur.com
