Ive applied all fixes except:

Problem with missing class_display.php file in vB3 [See here for a fix]

Im using V4 so i skipped this one, is that correct?

Also this one doesnt seem to link to a fix?

Smilies don't get added to the chatbox when in the "more" windows [See here for a fix]

After applying the fixes i am still getting a white page on my forum with product enabled. If i disable the product the forum is working again.

Any more suggestions? I would really like this chatbox to work on my forum.

Have you tried reinstalling?

[furst]

yes ive tried uninstalling, deleting files and reinstalling several times, i really dont get whats up.

[will555559]

hmm idk then..maybe it conflicts with another mod you have installed but idk if that could happen just throwing stuff out there.

Dear All,

As of the latest advance on the chatbox I was wondering if it would be better or not to move the notifications as a specific mod but still with the possibility to have those notifications in a column in the chatbox (but not melted with chats anymore).

Therefore I'd like to have your advice, what do you think ?

look for

and change it to

PHP Code:

$jsvars    .= "var mgc_cb_evo_height = "" . $chatbox_height . "";\n"; 


Excellent. Thank You!

Keep getting this:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 1412

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/mgc_cb_evo.php on line 1412

Shows up at the top of the page when you go to the archive -> actions -> view all chats of (user). Something seems to go wrong when checking for usergroup permissions.

I also noticed that even though "Log the chatbox management actions" is enabled in advanced options, the log viewer always stays empty. Tested this by deleting a couple of test chats both in the archive view and the full chatbox view.
