Hello,
This is a bug internet, not directly related ionCube but with the introduction of "links" in php.ini.

Bonjour,
voici la r?ponse de mon h?bergeur:

Bonjour,
Il s'agit d'un bug internet, sans rapport direct avec ionCube mais avec la mise en place des "liens" dans le fichier PHP.ini.
Cordialement,

Regarding your style issue, this is odd, when looking at the css on my forum, there is no reason you have such display.

Are you familiar with using firebug to inspect the DOM ? Coz it would be interesting to get a closer look at the final generated css for those elements.



Yes It's fine, I have been able to reproduce this bug, I'll fix this when doing the bug fixes.
I hope to release a new version somewhere end of the month.

My apology for being that "annoying" guy who states the obvious :-)

as for the styling issue here is a larger photo



Also, I am not familiar with Firebug, I will prob be able to figure it out so if you need something let me know.

Getting the error:

Site error: the file /home1/*****/public_html/mgc_cb_evo/plugins/init_startup.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so to be installed by the website operator. If you are the website operator please use the ionCube Loader Wizard to assist with installation.

in my php.ini its enabled:

zend_extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin.so

Any Ideas? I have to disable plugins just to get back into the admin panel.

[zstewart]

Here is some more info running the tool.

ionCube Loader Wizard
Additional Information

Writeable loader locations: /home1/sacrame7/public_html, /home1/sacrame7

am thinking it has something to do with the Ini Loader version: 4.0r12 ?

[zstewart]

* Update Fixed it anyone that has hostmonster make sure you have: PHP5 (Single php.ini)
Same as PHP5, but all subdirectories will use ~/public_html/php.ini
selected. CHeers!!

Been looking all over, but so far still looking for a way to display the chatbox only on one specific forum, as opposed to all forums or the main page. I found a post reporting a bug relating to this, but never found where anybody had found a workaround. Is there a way to put the chathbox in just one forum?

[wickedstangs]

How can I remove this mod without getting the below?

Fatal error: Call to a member function can_view_notifications() on a non-object in /home/user/public_html/forum/includes/block/html.php(95) : eval()'d code on line 2

Well it's not that I need something, it's just that as is I can't tell you why.

As I said this seems to be very style specific and unless you have firebug to check on yourself I can't tell.

There is no need for a workaround, you have an option for that :
Ids of the forums in which the chatbox shall be displayed

Thanks

Someone already submitted the information you needed correct? The PM issue happens for probably 80% of my users. If I use my Iphone, there's no issues. Some Chrome users it works for.

Let me know if this is on your radar to fix, otherwise I need to revert back to an older version

Thanks again! Great Mod
