pspmaster93,

Did you import the MGC chatbox EVO Product and MGC chatbox EVO Commands Product into your AdminCP in the Plugin & Products selection down on the left? Then restart your AdminCP and then you should see MGC Chatbox EVO as a new selection on the left in the AdminCP.

Open that MGC Chatbox EVO selection and click the Manage Commands. Here you will import the Commands xml that you are going to use on your Forum.

Well i only run the chat box on the forum home. So the solution for the moment i have found to get rid of this error on the other pages is to:

edit the template called mgc_cb_evo_headinclude and change the template from

<!-- JS -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/js/jquery.autocomplete.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/js/jquery.blockUI.js"></script>

<!-- CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/css/jquery.autocomplete.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

	

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
	mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete();
});
</script>

TO:

<!-- JS -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/js/jquery.autocomplete.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/js/jquery.blockUI.js"></script>

Now all the display options work again, but im not sure if this will cause other errors.

I am really sorry I am undergoing a lot of job outside of vB currently

I don't have lots of time for support

If you have problems with 0.5.0 version of the chatbox please go back to previous version.

I hope to post a new version if I can to fix that autocomplete messing up feature in august.
