Yea, few members are mentioning the same issue about the ajax error.

Also, small issue.. When pressing "ENTER" when you are private messaging someone, it CANCELS the whole message rather than sends it! Just wanted to mention it so you know about it.

Hello,

I have a big problem with my chatbox. I have deinstalled the addon and now there is this mistake:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM chatbox ORDER BY dateline ASC LIMIT 0,;

MySQL-Fehler : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1
Fehler-Nr. : 1064

Don't know what to do. Can somebody please help me.

Thanks a lot,

Sebastian

I'm betting that your chatbox table is gone for your sql database now, but something in the php or java is still referencing it. Make sure your vbulletin plugins don't still reference the chatbox somehow.

I guess?

BTW: where are you VBdev???? I was hoping to hear a response or something about my idea!

I'm betting you didn't follow the instructions on how to uninstall. Reinstall it and follow the directions to uninstall it. That should fix it.

[christicehurst]

I followed the instructions and install however it's not showing up - www.brisbanelionsunited.com


Maybe it's a style issue?

Usually you forget to enable it in the usergroups.

[christicehurst]

I did that and there's no display.

Um, if you don't see it at all, you either didn't install it right, didn't setup usergroups...

If you see the chatbox and nothing is happening and it's saying loading it's a different issue. You clearly said it wasn't showing, not loading. Sounds like it wasn't done right.

[christicehurst]

All the files have been installed correctly. It's just werid. I can't see the Chatbox and checked my usergroups
