When i said i'll look into, i meant when i will work on the chatbox upgrade. Which won't be right now.

It's not disabled.

Then the chatbox has no reason for disappearing.

Anything special when that problem appeared ?

Can you give me a link where I have a look please (with a test account) ?

[shlomot]

What a great MOD. Thanks a lot. Installed and voted.

How do I rid of the General Channel and leave only my custome ones?

[shlomot]

Just noticed that either usergroup permissions are not saved or the screen doesn't show what was saved before.

Thanks for helping out.

I'll update the chatbox package in the middle of the week once I'll have checked that all commands are consistent between packages.

A temporarly fix is the following :
1/ Edit the ban command
2/ In the phpcode chat display replace options by userinfo

Glad you found that problem as i still couldnt get the ban command to work and thought it was me messing up and eventually gave up in the end lol

Look forward to the update and keep up the great work :up:

Hi,

I've been running this mod for a few weeks now and it seems to be running ok.

I've just checked my cpanel error logs and there's a few errors relating to this mod.

File does not exist: /home/<username>/public_html/home/<username>/public_html/forums/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_cmd/mgc_cb_evo_cmd_pm.js
File does not exist: /home/<username>/public_html/home/<username>/public_html/forums/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_cmd/mgc_cb_evo_cmd_ignore.js
File does not exist: /home/<username>/public_html/home/<username>/public_html/forums/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_cmd/mgc_cb_evo_cmd_del.js
File does not exist: /home/<username>/public_html/home/<username>/public_html/forums/clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_cmd/mgc_cb_evo_cmd_ban.js

I don't have a /home/<username>/public_html/home/<username>/public_html/forums/clientscript/ folder on my server; it's root/<username>/public_html/forums/clientscript/.

Is there a file or setting where this location is set? So that I can check it out and maybe change it to the proper location?

Thanks

--------------------

EDIT:

I've remove the chatbox from my CMPS page and there's no errors now.

[VBDev]

Hum, you where having such an error with the chatbox in vba ?

In the global_start plugin of the chatbox, You should remove the condition testing if forumpath is not empty this might come from there.
