It would be awesome to be able to enable new thread/new registration/thank you hack notifications in the FULL size chatbox you access via a link, but not the one that shows up automatically in your templates specified in options.

AKA... an option to show notifications everywhere (both), only in the small/regular shoutbox, or only in the full chatbox.


IE... If you're on the full page shoutbox, you're not refreshing to check for new threads posted... so notifications might be nice. But if you're on the forum home page checking periodically for new threads, the notifications just get in the way of chatting.


Per-User enabling/disabling of Notifications might be nice as well... possibly even as far as letting users have the choice of the suggestion above.


Can't wait for this to release!

Hi,

I am interested in integrating this chat into my forum but can't seem to find a current demo. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also, will it be compatiable with the new VB 4.x ?

Thanks

Storm

Prior to upgrading to v4, I removed all hacks and customizations. One of those was the MGC Chatbox Evo hack. Apparently this didn't remove it from the database. Now when I go to a user group profile, the options for this hack still exist. See screen shot.



I wanted to make a change to a user group setting and after making my change, I clicked save. When doing this I got the following error.



What do I need to do to correct this?

Thanks.

Um those are bits that you have to remove from the admincp and the includes folder
If you look at that MySQL error, it says it CANNOT FIND THE COLUMNS - that means it was removed from the database and the bits you uploaded are trying to connect to columns that don't exist in the database.

Delete: admincp\mgc_cb_evo.php
Delete: clientscript\mgc_cb_evo folder
Delete: includes\mgc_cb_evo folder
Delete: includes\class_hook_mgccoding.php
Delete: includes\class_dm_mgccbchat.php
Delete: includes\xml\bitfield_mgc_cb_evo.xml
Delete: includes\xml\cpnav_mgc_cb_evo.xml
Delete: includes\xml\hooks_mgc_cb_evo.xml
Delete: includes\cron\mgc_cb_evo_digest.php
Delete: includes\cron\mgc_cb_evo_ban.php

Resolved.

Plus, if you referred to the readme attached with the product you wouldn't have such an issue.

In order to correctly uninstall the chatbox, please follow carefully the following instructions:

1. Remove the files of the chatbox in your forum folders.
2. Remove the modifications you have done to the other forum templates for the chatbox.
3. Uninstall the MGC Chatbox Evo product.
4. Uninstall is now finished.

Thank you. For us n00bs, after having something installed as long as that was, one forgets that there are other steps involved.

I don't think that is possible.

There's a link up top for the site to purchase the branding free which uses the chat. And like I said 300 times, the new one to work in VB4 is being converted. Last time I say this.

There's instructions in the zip that tells you how to both install and uninstall.

Strange thing is that i already removed this mod from my forum. So how can this mod still be focking with my forum?

[Ranger187]

Very simple. You didn't folllow the uninstall instructions.

Re-download the version you yad and follow the uninstall instructions this time.
