Havn't had any issues sine I added that file as per my last instructions so I would say its fixed. So if any one else has issues with the User CP>Edit options then an error shows up theres an easy fix for it.
User CP bug:
VBDev forgot to update the path within the vB 3 plugin, in the vB 4 it's correct.
To resolve the issue, go in your Admin CP to Manage Plugins and search for the User option add in profile vB3 plugin. Open it and change the path two times:
From:
PHP Code:
/includes/mgc_cb_evo/
To:
PHP Code:
/mgc_cb_evo/classes/
1:
PHP Code:
// Instantiate display class
require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php');
$MGCCbEvoDisplay = new MGCCbEvo_display($vbulletin,$MGCCbEvoCore);
2:
PHP Code:
// Channel selector
if ($MGCCbEvoCore->evo_permissions->can_select_default_channel())
{
require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_misc.php');
$MGCCbEvoMisc = new MGCCbEvo_misc($vbulletin,$MGCCbEvoCore);
$show['chan_sel'] = 1;
$channel_select = $MGCCbEvoMisc->construct_default_channel_selector();
}
Thanks for this mod. We installed it on our forum. Like what it does and its features (donated to you today via pay pal).
Few issues we are having
1) When I go to stick a post I get a box that pops up with " Are you sure you want to sticky this chat ?" The only option I have is an "x" in the upper right to make the box go away. When I do that the post that I want to stick does not stick. Suggestions?
2) On the channels, I assume this means you can have different chats appear on different forums? I tried that and it does not seem to work?
3) More of a question, can you have other items show up in the chat such as recently posted articles or threads? or does everything have to be put in manually?
