huge problem,
after collapsing the button to bring it back disappears

Neptun · #**143** 02-08-2010, 06:17 PM

it seems to be a good release of a chat box, for the first release of this hack it looks good and i think after some updates it will work fine - i am looking forward which one will be the best chat box for the vb 4.x suite

at the moment i like the hacks of VSA very much

a good product the MGC is not released for vb 4.x - we will see which one is the best then

i love the chat box hacks for vb

I hope we will get more options and settings for this box like the big range of options in th mgc ... maybe if this becomes reality then the vsa would be my favorit

We also are experiencing the :

Code:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare vsacb_userexcluded() (previously declared in /home/****/public_html/forum/packages/vbcms/controller/content.php(84) : eval()'d code:15) in /home/****/public_html/forum/packages/vbcms/controller/content.php(84) : eval()'d code on line 15

When trying to promote item to article, or using the article system within vbcms

Valter · #**147** 02-08-2010, 06:51 PM

I've fixed several style and other issues, but I can not reproduce these:
- vsacb_userexcluded() error
- CB does not work in 'Above Footer'

vbet_getSupportedTranslations() is not this product's function.

Is the error when you create a new article fixed?

dangerin · #**149** 02-08-2010, 06:55 PM

Sorry but i have not understood that you say with your post.
We must wait other fixes to solve this problem?
I use the style simple black and the chat appeared to go well on forum.
I have not pasted the code "{vb:raw vsachatbox}" because i do not know exactly where to put.
Excuse me for my english and for not understand well the instructions

I can not reproduce it.

When I go to create new article or promote thread to article it works with no problems.

dangerin · #**151** 02-08-2010, 07:05 PM

ahh ok .. NOW i've understood.
You can public a little guide for HOW TO install this product and where do you have pasted the code in what template or in what position.
I think that can be this the problem that create this error becuase the chat in forum is good.
now i've importd the prodct and i've seen that's appeared one new template called VALTER but (actually) i've not putted the code and perhas it can be the solution?
So i repeta that's would be great if you have a littel guide or some snapshot of these steps necessary . .
Thanks
