Hi...ty for this mod...

When I activate the chatbox my entire site crashes and gives this error message:

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

I'm using vb 3.6.8 and vbadvanced cmps v3.2.1 if that helps

I also received the same type of error that vwdforum. I did the fresh install after removing all old chatbox files and then turned everything on in usergroups but still received a similar error. Any suggestions? The error I received is below...ty for checking it out...

go to the Admincp>MGC Chatbox Evo>Chats formatting

almost at the bottom of the page you will see where you change the text from "Entrez Votre chat" to whatever you would like..

I uninstalled this, but still have "MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions" in my Usergroup settings. I tried to reinstall/uninstall, but they are still there... any idea how to get rid of them?

[huskermax]

I have followed the instructions made a channel. Can't see it on my bbs.

I think this is one of the all time greatest mods i have seen. i will donate to the creator on this mod. This is a great addition to my forum. I have nominate this mod and it is the first mod i have nominated since I have been on vb.org. Great work and great job. It is obvious alot of work went into the development of this mod. I just want to say greatwork!!!

I have experienced a couple of problems:
1. I had the box showing up on top under navbar on all three spots. When i changed it to under the forums the box was unusable and it said loading all the time. when I tried to type in the space it said missing token or something. It did however work in full page mode. So in order to get it working I disabled it and uninstalled it then reinstalled it. I don't want to do that again cause i have put a lot of work into bot phrases. Is there a way to download and upload them?

2. I can not figure out how to have a avatar show up for my bot. I have created the user and put in a avatar for that user. i put in the user id for for that user. it shows up from that user but the avatar is still the "?" one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for this awesome mod.

I think that this is small bug. Also, avatar not show for your user (if I remember correctly), but other users see it... We expect new version with all fixes....
