Quote:
In order to display the chatbox on the IBProarcade pages, follow these instructions:
In the admin control panel, go in the Display and positions of the chatbox.
Activate the option Display the chatbox on defined pages in a var or Display the chatbox on defined pages below the navbar.
In the pages list, add :
arcade
and then validate.
Open the arcade/functions/functions.php file and search for function do_output($output_array).
After // add additional needed variables, add :
global $mgc_cb_evo,$mgc_cb_evo_var;
Finally, if you are using te option to display the chatbox in a var, edit the ARCADE template and add :
Are your templates all fixed or normal ones? Fixed always stay the same width. Is this your first install for the chat, or did you have have it and do an upgrade to either the chat or vbulletin?
Not sure if this bug listed is what you have (which is already fixed for next release): Forum left to right align not taken into account. Scroll up top and you'll see the list.
But I'm sure VBdev knows more.....time to eat.....
Thanks again for the reply Ranger,
All templates are variable width.
This is a clean install, no upgrade.
That "bug" does sound likely to fix my problem.
I have an off-web Test forum which I can use to pre-test the next release if that is any help?
I am looking to install you chatbox as an item inside of a private forum. I am not sure if this is possible? Like for supporting members only to be able to use it. Or can I have it above my forums m its just my specified users such as supporting members would be the only ones to see it?
Also Is a new version coming on soon where a person should wait for it? Or is the current one stable enough for us?
Hi! First, let me say thank you for this great shoutbox - very nice work!
I have a question though..
I have width set to 100%, but the message box never fills the screen (I have tried 150% etc, and although the width increases, only the same percentage is available for use)
I have attached a screenshot.
VB 3.8.1, MGC v2.1.0 - same in FF and IE7.
Any suggestions to make the box fill the page would be appreciated!
Regards,
Dave
Well this is because you have set notifications to be separated from chats !
Even if you had no notifications active, the chatbox can't know if the notifications are on or not as it's per notification activation.

Here is a screenshot of what happens:
If the shoutbox is turned off, then it doesn't happen, the rest of the forum loads just fine.
It works perfect, perhaps i install ibproarcade
I make the instrucktion
But the Chatbox is not display in ibproarcade!
What is the Problem??
Please help..

Some user reported this problem since the ibproarcade upgrade.
Have you updated the ibproarcade files after the upgrade ?

Yes you can do all permissions you want
Well up to you to wait or not. New version should be available by the end of the weekend or at the beginning of the week.

You have nothing perhaps but as there might be plugins for notifications (like the one for ibproarcade available with the Branding Free version) I can't know wether or not I should show the right column.
To avoid this problem, disable chats/notifications separation.
