[hardiksadaria]

How can I disable this mod.
I am not able to access admin panel also

Please guide

[Crotan]

add

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

to the top of your config.php. Of course this will disable all mods, so you'll want to uninstall the chatbox then remove the line from config.php

It's pretty straightforward. You are missing files, have you uploaded files in your ftp ?

[gajinoz]

I have installed this and it seems to be working just fine however I have a question.

Is there any way to select a different background colour for the chat window? I have ticked the parameter to allow alternate background colour for each message but this simply gives a very light two tone grey effect. I would like to change the colour to something different.

If you want to tweak those two colours you can edit the mgc_cb_evo.css template.

Hum, that's strange I'll have to get a look wether why it does messed up with your setup.

[TheJFKConspirac]

I'm having an issue after installing. I'm receiving this message at the top of the page:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in [path]/global.php(29) : eval()'d code on line 58

Not quite sure what to do to fix it.

Which kind of bug in this?

G!

Unfortunately this specific feature does not work for me. I just get kicked back to the user profile when clicing on the username. Veird.

Any tips would be apprechiated. (Much apprechiated, actually)
