In the list of reported bugs i already see that chats do not appear when chatbox is collapsed. I was wondering how do you usually deal with these bugs. Do we wait for the next months release or will you be doing a quick fix version (if it is quick?

[The Realist]

I've solved my problem with usernames not showing up and I dont get the collapse problem. Whay I would suggest is make sure you upload the files in binary mode and try again.

Regards

Thanks for your answer VBdev !

About the loading stuff this must be an error on your side, two users had the problem with file not being uploaded correctly.

You've been right, I figured out what was the problem, one of the js and one css files were corrupted. I redownloaded the zip and it fixes the loading stuff (even if it is quite slow with my small connection).

I just have a small display problem with the white arrow on the left side of the chats (see the screenshot) it doesn't appear anymore. What have I done wrong ? (maybe it's an option I didn't see)

I send a PM to a member which usergroup color is blue and instead it shows my usergroup color red, someone send me a PM and instead o his name in "from" shoes mine. Does anyone have de same issue here? Image bellow to explain better.

Here is the fix, edit the includes/class_dm_mgccbchat.php file and search for :

PHP Code:

                if ($this->mgc_cb_evo_chat['coidentifier'] == 'pm')
                {
                    $this->do_set('toname', $getuser['username']);
                    $this->do_set('tousergroupid', $getfromuser['usergroupid']);
                    $this->do_set('todisplaygroupid', $getfromuser['displaygroupid']);                
                    $this->do_set('tohascustomavatar',$getfromuser['hascustomavatar']);
                    $this->do_set('toavatarpath',$getfromuser['avatarpath']);
                    $this->do_set('toavatardateline',$getfromuser['avatardateline']);
                    $this->do_set('toavwidth',$getfromuser['avwidth']);
                    $this->do_set('toavheight',$getfromuser['avheight']);
                    $this->do_set('toavwidth_thumb',$getfromuser['avwidth_thumb']);
                    $this->do_set('toavheight_thumb',$getfromuser['avheight_thumb']);
                    $this->do_set('tofiledata_thumb',$getfromuser['filedata_thumb']);
                    $this->do_set('toavatarid',$getfromuser['avatarid']);
                    $this->do_set('toavatarrevision',$$getfromuser['avatarrevision']);                
                } 


Replace by :

PHP Code:

                if ($this->mgc_cb_evo_chat['coidentifier'] == 'pm')
                {
                    $this->do_set('toname', $getuser['username']);
                    $this->do_set('tousergroupid', $getuser['usergroupid']);
                    $this->do_set('todisplaygroupid', $getuser['displaygroupid']);                
                    $this->do_set('tohascustomavatar',$getuser['hascustomavatar']);
                    $this->do_set('toavatarpath',$getuser['avatarpath']);
                    $this->do_set('toavatardateline',$getuser['avatardateline']);
                    $this->do_set('toavwidth',$getuser['avwidth']);
                    $this->do_set('toavheight',$getuser['avheight']);
                    $this->do_set('toavwidth_thumb',$getuser['avwidth_thumb']);
                    $this->do_set('toavheight_thumb',$getuser['avheight_thumb']);
                    $this->do_set('tofiledata_thumb',$getuser['filedata_thumb']);
                    $this->do_set('toavatarid',$getuser['avatarid']);
                    $this->do_set('toavatarrevision',$getuser['avatarrevision']);                
                }

Nope here is the fix, edit clientscript/mgc_cb_evo/mgc_cb_evo_functions.js and search for:

e.get("firstChild")

Replace by :

e.firstChild
