Don't get me wrong, I don't want to rush you. It's just we are not running any chatbox yet and my fellow admins are getting a bit impatient waiting for me to install one. So I'm wondering if it does make any sense to wait for this next release or if I should install v0.5.0 instead now.

Any suggestions?

[Ranger187]

Hey bro, hold off. If he doesn't release it tomorrow (Saturday) , I'll help you install 0.5.0. I'm already running 1.0 on my forums and it's a great improvement. View my profile for my aim/yahoo info if you want help installing.

Issues fixed except the form field in french.

These are options and thus are in french ;-) You then can change them to wathever you want.

Nice job, VBDev.

I'd like to write /team my_mesage in the chatbox but it seems there is no way to make it on this way any more, or? Now I've created a new channel...

Then: I've tested to add simies in a /me command but this isn't working. Didn't you fix it or is there an option that i haven't seen yet?


Greetings.

[VBDev]

Team command has no reason to exist anymore as now channels are fully segregated and based on a full set of permissions.

Sorry you were right for the me command

Zip file udpated. If you had already installed it, edit the includes/class_dm_mgccbchat.php file and search for :

$this->set("coidentifier","me");
$this->parse_bbcode         = 0;

Replace by :

$this->set("coidentifier","me");
$this->parse_bbcode         = 1;

If you had already installed it, edit the includes/class_dm_mgccbchat.php file and search for :

Is this the only thing that have to be edited? Because it's not working.
