If you want to tweak those two colours you can edit the mgc_cb_evo.css template.
OK, great, but I'm not experienced at editing css files. Could you tell me exactly what part of the template I need to edit to change the colour? Could you give me an example of what bit of code I need to change please.
Unfortunately this specific feature does not work for me. I just get kicked back to the user profile when clicing on the username. Veird.
Any tips would be apprechiated. (Much appreciated, actually)
I can't get this feature to work on a 3.8.7 board either, clicking PM "User" does zero and worse, enabling the PM tab feature pretty much kills the chat box. Pity as it's a really cool feature.
I'm having an issue after installing. I'm receiving this message at the top of the page:
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in [path]/global.php(29) : eval()'d code on line 58
Not quite sure what to do to fix it.
Hum, with latest version ? The only array merge is for datastores and templates.
Do you have any channel or command active ? If not try to activatate a command (just for test).

Search for alt1 and alt2 in that template.
You should find something like background-color : #color_value;

Yeah I know when you activate that feature in 3.8.7 you get the chatbox totally minimized, it has been reported to me and I have been able to reproduce it.

Hey there, developer, nice to hear from you. This mod is great, but this is not working. I have set the commands. Still no juice.
Sorry to troubble you, but i could realy need the 3.0.0 files, if you have them handy.
Latest pro version and vb4.1.11 give far you high CPU usuage.
for istance only handful of users online this morning before fresh install of 3.2.3 cpu usuage only 5-10%, with this installed now getting approx 45% cpu usuage.
I've tried both 3.2.1 & 3.2.2, anyone got any ideas?
Last night with approx 110 members online but no one actually using the chatbox cpu usuage crept upto approx 75%.
Hello I have a fix for this great chatbox mod. In cron task file mgc_cb_evo_ban.php the mod are unbanning all users without checking if the user is banned and if you use /ban on uname <nickname> the bantime is always 0 and the cron task will unban.
Edit mgc_cb_evo/cron/mgc_cb_evo_ban.php
Find this code:
PHP Code:
// Lets unban users
$vbulletin->db->query_write("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
SET mgc_cb_evo_banned='0',mgc_cb_evo_bantime='0'
WHERE mgc_cb_evo_bantime<'" . TIMENOW . "'
");
and replace it with:
PHP Code:
// Lets unban users
$vbulletin->db->query_write("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
SET mgc_cb_evo_banned='0',mgc_cb_evo_bantime='0'
WHERE mgc_cb_evo_banned = '1' AND mgc_cb_evo_bantime > '0' AND mgc_cb_evo_bantime < '" . TIMENOW . "'
");
Now if you use a permanent ban using /ban on uname <nick> it will be a permanent ban, otherwise it apply bantime > 0 and the user will be re-admited when the time expires.
