I need this broken down for me

"Upload the content of the "Images" directory in each of your forum styles directories"

Am I only uploading the misc folder to the one on my forum?

Edit, i'm suppose to upload it in each of the cpstyles folder, correct?

[Ranger187]

If you have added styles, then in the /misc of all those styles you send the images up

[commoncents]

i guess i'm messing up. i installed everything but nothing is showing up. i'm new at this stuff by the way

I'll breakdown what i did

Step 2 :
1/ Upload the files from the "Files" directory in your forum root

done, uploaded admincp, clientscript, includes folder along with the other two files.

2/ Upload the content of the "Images" directory in each of your forum styles directories

i assume this meant in the cpstyles folder so i uploaded the whole misc folder to each style in that folder

3/ Import the MGC Chatbox Evo product

not sure where i'm suppose to upload it but i uploaded it to the install folder...

4/ Go in your admincp, in the Language manager > Download/Upload language file and then :
- Select the language file from the "Lang" directory
- Select the forum language to overwrite
- Set the ignore language verison to Yes
- Launch upload

done

5/ If you plan adding the stats on the forumhome, go in your admincp and in the template manager and edit the FORUMHOME template and add the $mgc_cb_evo_stats where you want the stats to appear on your forum home.

didnt do

6/ You are done with the chatbox install, you can now edit your usergroups permissions or proceed with adding commands

not done

and i'm not sure what to do with the other folders (command/product)

Any help please

Usergroup.. Enable chat. You even said not done. DUHR

And you never imported before? I take it this is your first plugin. Goto Plugins and import

i can tell you are enjoying this

[Ranger187]

Very much so.

I'm taking it you didn't upload all the files, or imported wrong. Are you the admin or just helping. I ask because it sounds like you never worked on Vb before if you never installed a plugin. If you want help, PM me and I'll help you install.
