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.

To roll back to the other version do you just replace the files and import the old xml file?

I know this sounds a strange request, but outside of the default commands, what downloadable commands are there online? No real need for any, just want to know if anyone's made either useful or fun novelty commands for this shoutbox...

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mark as installed.

Nope this is why I am going to remove that possibility in the 1.0.0 release (I don't have a release date yet) which will lighten the code and load for a non needed feature after all

I followed the installation instruction s100 Percent, but when I tried to install / import commands I got the message "File not valid" (translated from german error message.

Where is the place to import the commands?

Second, I do not know, where to create channels.

Third: the Input Line is damned short, where is the place to define the lenth of it?

Any usefull hint appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Arvid

Just a hint for people having the issue where no controls show up in firefox.

CTRL+F5 to do a complete refresh, your cache might be holding some stale info.

So the commands will then be default features? Nice.

Have you tried with and english xml file perhaps it's not good ?

- Commands shall be imported in the command management system of the chatbox. There is a menu in the admincp for the chatbox, you'll find that link in it.
- Same answer, there is a channels management system in the menu
- There is a setting in the chatbox options of the admincp.
