Is this still being worked on? I'm really hoping the smiley categories can get taken into account in the next update. Any word on wether or not the next update will correct this?

PHP Code:

How can you get the 2nd channel use the same colour text as the general channel, without having to use the BBCODE function when posting all of the time?I don't get you on that point, can you give me more details on what you're meaning ? 


i write about same problems in some post above ...

I mean a user can select their default colour to post in on the general channel, but this isn't carried over into the second channel, even when setting it in the admin cp, there is no way to set it for the second channel.

Yes It is, this is just that I am a bit busy currently. I do vBulletin during free time which is not a lot this month.

I hope I'll be able to release a new version as soon as possible that would correct all the bugs and new functionnalities.

Don't worry, I am still on it !

A user/color chat color is only taken into account when the command attached to the channel is set to take into account the user format options.

Which is not the case for the team command.

However, as you use it for a channel, you can edit the command and set it to take into account the color formatting

Very impressive VBDev!
Great work.

New question for you.

I want to use the /me in the team channel as well as the general channel.

However when I use the /me command in the team channel, it is displayed in the general channel doesn't display it in the team channel.

Hi!
Great work. Thank you.
One question: When I click any username in the chatbox, I see the profile of this user. But I want to see username in the message field. Can I do that?
Thanks again.

I get a blank page in the admin panel when I "manage commands" or "manage channels".

thanks for any help.

You just have to edit the command which is attached to your channel.

You'll then see an option which says wether you want the command to take into account the user chat chosen format or not.

It's not possible to use a command in another command.

A channel always corresponds to a command so you can't use another command in it.

I perhaps will make it to work but this is not on the close roadmap.
