Best Reagrds,
I see what you mean but that option would affect the chatbox display on all pages. Which is not very beautiful on the forumhome page for example.

Just - I've reworked some JS / IF conditions like:

Quote:
<if condition="!empty($autocompletion_js)">
function mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete()
{
$("#mgc_cb_evo_input").autocomplete([$autocompletion_js]);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete();
}
);</if>
Before the "IF" condition was inside the function and so created an empty JS function used for nothing.
Also about the Collapse / Show mode:

Quote:
<span id="mgc_cb_evo_title_opened"
<if condition="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_mgc_cb_evo] == ''">
<else />
style="display: none;"
</if>
>
....
<span id="mgc_cb_evo_title_closed"
<if condition="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_mgc_cb_evo] == ''">
style="display: none;"
</if>
>
Got a CSS warning - specially about the first one - because the IF condition produced an empty:

Quote:
style='display: ';
This fixes this

I'm trying to disable this style on a pair of styles (Iphone and a fast loading text only style). But when I go into the Chatbox display on forumhome theres is no $search_text = '$forumhome_markread_script';. Has the plug in changed?

Code:
if($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_active'] && $vbulletin->userinfo['mgc_cb_evo_show'] && can_view_mgc_cb_evo()) 
{ 
   require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_mgc_cb_evo.php'); 
    
   if (can_view_mgc_cb_evo() && $vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_forumhome']) 
   { 
      /* Stats */
      if ($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_forumhome_stats'])
      {
         $mgc_cb_evo_stats = construct_mgc_cb_evo_forumhome_stats();
      }
      
      
      $replace = ' $mgc_cb_evo ';
      
      if($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_forumhome'] == 1)
      { 
          $find = '$navbar';
          $brb = ' '; 
          $bra = ' <br />'; 
      } 
      else 
      { 
          $find = '$forumhome_markread_script';
          $brb = ' <br />'; 
          $bra = ' '; 
      } 
      
      $mgc_cb_evo = build_mgc_cb_evo_display($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_normalmode_height']);

      $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($find,$find . $brb . $replace . $bra,$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']); 
   } 
}

The new version is very light on the server load, far more than it used to be.

Yes it's possible through the use of a command or a periodic cron task or directly from the archives with a inline moderation removal tool.

You have to set permissions boy Check the command management tool in the admincp.

Did you install the 1.0.0 chatbox just when released or more recently ?

Coz there was a small mistake in the first zip file of the 1.0.0.

      $replace = ' $mgc_cb_evo ';
      
      if($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_forumhome'] == 1)
      { 
          $find = '$navbar';
          $brb = ' '; 
          $bra = ' <br />'; 
      } 
      else 
      { 
          $find = '$forumhome_markread_script';

      } 
      
      $mgc_cb_evo = build_mgc_cb_evo_display($vbulletin->options['mgc_cb_evo_normalmode_height']);

      $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($find,$find . $brb . $replace . $bra,$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']); 
   } 
}
Sorry it's not $search_text but $find.

Place this in the root of the forum. Done.
Ranger - Thanks for this... after the upgrade lots of users were complaining of problems, and this fixed it straight-away.
