The file mgc_cb_evo/plugins/fetch_userinfo_query.php contains an error
PHP Code:
<?
$hook_query_fields .= ",mgcugp.mgc_cb_evo_default_color,mgcugp.mgc_cb_evo_chanid";
$hook_query_joins .= " LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup AS mgcugp ON (user.usergroupid=mgcugp.usergroupid) ";
?>
You should add 'php' after the opening tag (<?php). It will fix a lot of issues users are having related to the permanent 'loading...' issues and is coding wise best practice.
We use the chatbox since we changed to vBulletin 4. Here are some feature requests:
- I would like to show a certain channel as standard-channel in a certain forum. Seems that this isn't possible, as the standard-channel always shows up first.
- We would love to setup channels in order to only have a certain amount of users in it.
- We would love to have the option to give voice to users. Right now everyone can talk who is in the channel. But this isn't so good if you would like to set up an interview-chat.
If any of this is already possible, please tell me how. I haven't been able to find anything about it.
Bugs:
- Seems that the archive doesn't properly display older chat-messages. We have almost 1.000 chatmessages, but I cannot display them: http://www.comicforum.de/mgc_cb_evo....id=0&dlimit=-1
Version is 3.2.3 on vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 2
- Seems that the display on other channels than the standardchannel doesn't work right, as it looks rather broken: http://www.comicforum.de/mgc_cb_evo....id=1&dlimit=14
an analysis showed up that the CSS isn't loaded.
I get the following errors when attempting to download archives from the beginning in CSV format:

Is your forum path not specified in the config.php?
