This works fantastic for me, however this may sound n00by. Does anyone know how you do the commands? Like slap for example...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function fetch_phrasetypes_array() in /home/******/public_html/***************/plugin.php on line 2142

would it indicate a corrupt plugin.php file, incorrect location of plugins

i think the install of vb is corrupt

is there any way to verify this? or am i looking at a total reinstall

This is core vB, seems like you have a strange install of vB itself.

You have to remove the files of the chatbox (especially in includes/xml dir).

Is there any way to integrate this? All I am looking for is a very simple shoutbox that at the very least can have display permissions, and be integrated into vbadvanced cmps.

Thank you.

Yet no simple way sorry.

Nope, without code modification. Yes, with quite some modifications.

You have to activate them from your admincp.

[kalisekj]

LOL VBDev I figured it was worth a try to Kindle the fire under ya. Me and My Users Love This Mod and I Will Be Paying for the full version as soon as the new release hits. WooHoo!

[Elric]

Hi, the box (2.3.2) works very fine in firefox, opera in the forum and in the vbcmps portal but in the IE8 in the forum the box load and load and load (in the portal is no problem), what is this..

best regards
Elric

ps:
the board software is 3.8.3

[kalisekj]

BTW Can I possibly get someone to figure out how to show the chatbox on some other areas of my site, Critical areas being, profile pages, newthread pages, edit thread pages, in private messages pages. This way me and my mods will not miss a new user or critical question while doing our daily work around the web site.

[kalisekj]

How can I make Var $mgc_cb_evo_var recognized by VB 3.8.2?

[jaredwilli]

So I uninstalled this when I realized I didn't really like it, and now when I try to edit a usergroup, like the color of their name I get an error.

This is easy bro. You didn't uninstall per the instructions. RE-install this product, then uninstall it and you will be fine. This time read the instructions.

[jaredwilli]
