my friend forgive me for my bad English I'm seeing from Greece and I do not know English well.

So I think that if something wrong;

the program I use is mgc_cb_evo version 3.0.0 (vb 3.8.x)

it contains are:

admincp
includes
mgc_cb_evo

3 directories

contains no folder like that you say "includes/ mgc_cb_evo"

I must say that edit some files.

Can you tell me in simple terms what can I do to fix the problem that I face;

i am download your plugin and upload anything inside "files"

3 directories

admincp =>mysite/forums/admincp
includes => mysite.com/forums/includes
mgc_cb_evo => mysite.com/forums/mgc_cb_evo

after using admincp and plug in manager upload product xml file.

anything? wrong?

PHP ERROR have any try to USERCP / EDIT OPTIONS

PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/home/username/public_html/forums/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_display.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/username/public_html/forums/profile.php(4553) : eval()'d code on line 71

When I mentioned I did it another way in my addon, I am not speaking of the chatbox but of the CMS integration product (see my website for details).

The addon integrates the chatbox to the CMS through a vBAdvanced module which calls php code that I wrote to set up either the normal chatbox or the chatbox in sidebar instead of doing it by using show on every page in a var feature.

Not sure if that answers your question ?

1. The old way doesn't seem to work for me. I suppose that's the bad news.
2. Yes, you've answered my question so thank You.
3. I purchased the addon. You're getting rich off of me. (kidding).
4. Please send me the license files for both products, I know it says 48hrs but seeing you having nothing else going on today, why not send it over now?
5. To solve the Time Zone issue you seem to be having with the guy in greece, I propose you move to NY this way at least the two of us are in sync.

Thanks for your time.

[ikorolis]

the guy from greece dont rush is free user no paid user and dont have problem priority support paid users.

temp fixed
uninstall product

anytime have fixed reupload and reinstall.

thank you for your help.

well it turns out my host aint that good they did not and will not update so that's it for me now I will have to stay on 3.0.0.


We have ionCube loader version 3.1.25 installed on our servers. It appears that you need an higher version of ion Cube loader i.e., 4.0.12 for your application. Since we are in shared hosting environment we can not install components or upgrade version of ion Cube loader for a single customer.

Really, the function with ioncube just sucks. Im on a shared webspace too, and they dont setup for me the ioncube.

Go in your admincp > Plugin manager

Edit the one called : "profile_complete"

Replace

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_display.php'); 


By

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/class_display.php'); 


I am sure I already reported that.

That might be easy to setup if you don't have ioncube installed at all on your host.

Which host do you have ?

I did answer to you though, it seems to come from another mod of yours that overwrite the content of the headinclude template hook instead of appending to it.
Try to deactivate the mod I pointed you too and see if disabling it fixes it.

I tried disabling Marco's Editor and that did not help me with getting those images to show up nor the x that appears during full chat mode. I even took the period out of the hook on the headerincludes, and re-enabled it, hoping that might help, no go.

This morning I had a choice... $4.11 for my starbucks coffee which I typically can't live without or for an additional .89 cents, I can download the vBadvanced mod. I opted for plan B and now my site is working great again. I'd say it was the best $5.00 ever spent but I'm having an issue right now with withdrawal from my starbucks.

Odd I see the attachment photos in the post. I'll try re-posting them with image links here:






It appears that I cant actually click anything in the menu and get an action. It just makes the menu disappear in Firefox. The behavior seems worse in IE. When you roll over a menu item, the menu disappears behind other elements.

Does this work for anyone? I've been messing around with this for hours now.
