You running vbadvanced 3.0.1 and 1.5MGC chat module?

[skywalker2208]

I have getting this error message on all pages that don't have the shoutbox "mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete is not defined" It doesn't affect the shoutbox, but just wanted to make you aware of it.

[RedGTiVR6]

I'm currently getting an error in both IE7 and FF3:

Using FireBug, I see the following:

mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete is not defined
(?)()()private....pmid=5248 (line 336)
onreadystatechange()()jquery.js (line 27)
onreadystatechange()()jquery.js (line 27)
nodeName()([function()], function(), undefined)jquery.js (line 21)
onreadystatechange()()jquery.js (line 27)
[Break on this error] mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete();

The code appears to be:

$(document).ready(function(){
 mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete();

Any ideas what would cause this?

I had to uninstall this as it was making serious problems to my forum.

However, even though everything is uninstalled, the chatbox_evo field in the usergroup permissions in the admin cp remains and now I can't change any of the permissions.

When I try, I get this error:

How do I solve this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Solved. There were three files that I didn't delete after uninstalling the chatbox.

They were the ones that were causing this. One in the includes folder and two in the xml folder.

Once I deleted them and entered the usergroup permissions in the admin cp, the bitfields were rebuilt automatically and everything works fine now.

Have you upgraded the chatbox correctly ?

I think you are missing some files or have non reverted templates...
