vbdev: nope i need the chatbox to be shown on every game and main arcade.php but on settings / league / reports / leaderboard must be blocked ... i need to be blocked on pages below

PHP Code:

/arcade.php?&do=viewtournaments
/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&module=settings
/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&module=favorites
/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&module=report
/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&module=league 


Hum then it's a bit more complicated, this need a bit of coding.

I don't have the time to code that for ya right now, if you know a bit of php I could give you clues ?

I suppose so, so is there any way i can change it? They are white, so making them something else would be perfect! there is no option in the admin cp, or usergroups...plz

[Sothside40]

I followed the upgrade instructions, but got the "Loading..." problem on the forum home page. It was fine in the archive. I just fell back to v0.0.0 and it's working fine again.

vB 3.6.8 PL2

Does anyone knows how to get an swf file to work in the announcements?

Have you modified templates of the chatbox before upgrade ?

Did you upload the new javascript files ?

You could do it by using bbcodes.Don't forget to activate the bbcode in the chatbox and add a swf bbcode.

[pericolosogr]

So there must be a way to do it, even by editing your files...could you pleaz tell me know where is tha piece of code i have to edit?
Thanx, but i have it already installed and i dont want to delete it!

I am also working on the Greek Language file at the moment...
