Bot system: regex would be wonderful, e.g. *time and whats the time? --> the time is now 15:37

And enable the bot in various channels too.

Hello, I've found the problem for the "more smilies" issue. The link is wrong.

correct: mgc_cb_evo.php?do=showsmilies
wrong (on the current version): mgc_cb_evo.php/?do=showsmilies

how can i take away the "/" ?

[DR AUTONAMUS]

Tried all possible fixes for the "always loading" bug with no fix, even downgraded to the version I had before so could the issue be in the database?

Have you altered the original chat box templates? If so, you might want to revert them back.

extract attached file and copy content to .\clientscript\mgc_cb_evo
Overwrite the old file and all will be fine

Thank you defetzer! That fixed my problem.

This doesn't work too well with vbobptimize. I have to flush my cache after a period of using the chatbox, I will get an error saying something about cookies and header already sent, in place of where the forumdisplay threads are.

Hello, I had the chat working great up until i just upgraded to the september upgrade. I did already have the total new setup but decided to do the upgrade. I was working fine on my VBadvanced and on the forums fine. Now I cannot get my site to load when i run it on vbadvanced even when i reinstalled the module. I get the error below

Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_view_mgc_cb_evo() in /home/diyproj/public_html/modules/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 3

I tried to look that up but there is nothing in that file relating on line 3.

I try to also run it on the main forums and get this error repeated 6 times above the header.

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_misc.php on line 412

Please can someone try to help me out. The last version was running fine but this is what i get for trying to fix something that wasnt broken, i just though that the few issues i was having would have been fixed with the upgrade, ugh haha now i have more.

Thank you VERY much

Hey, I'm having a problem with the chat box. When someone makes a new post and or thread, it does not appear on the chat box. How do I fix this? All of the notification settings are turned on.



And if you can't fix this, then can you tell me how to fix this on the older version?

_Thanks
