For those of you who have this installed on their vBulletin, are you having issues with the 'Close' button. It's in the list when you click on the little blue/white arrow next to a chat.
Mine closes the box, then immediately links to '/forums/#mgc_cb_evo_top', which isn't the chatbox. It happened as well when I clicked the 'Close' button on the actual developers website.
I'm not sure of your exact mobile template circumstances, but we have a mobile skin that automatically gets assigned if a user is on a mobile device. The Chatbox in full screen didn't work in this skin, it just said 'This content is not available on mobile' (something like that).
I ended up creating an overwrite for the Chatbox template to make it direct to our desktop site style - this way people on their mobile can still see it and interact with it.
Please remember that this thread is only for discussion of this free modification posted here at vb.org. It is not for discussion of any paid modification.
When you use the mobile version of Vbulletin 4.2.2, this thing STILL generates loads of errors AFTER you log in under your username you get:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ..../mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php on line 0
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ..../mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php on line 0
Does anyone know what that is and how to fix it?
Thank you very much!!!
I have asked Clement about this MANY times here and on his site, and he doesn't respond!
since the mgc_cb_evo directory is concerned, it is obvious that the errors are related to this plugin.
I would respectfully ask that the information on this mod be changed from "supported" to "unsupported" given the developer's lack of response to questions/problems.
That is not something that is up to the staff, it is up to the developer.
Just because a mod says it is supported, does not mean that it is, and visa-verse.
hi guys . how can i ban words on this chat . there is guy always spamming with url on the chat . always creating new nicks . i wanna ban or prevent some words . i have no idea were in that chatbox evo settings i can do that
Go in the admincp in the "Display and Position" options
Activate the option "Display the chatbox on defined pages of the forum in a variable" or the "Display the chatbox on defined pages under the navbar"
In the pages list, add "vaispy" and then save
Edit your vaispy.php file and find....
Code:
$header
$navbar
Directly under $navbar, add....
Code:
$mgc_cb_evo_var
Save.
Reload /forums/vaispy.php and it should be at the top of the page.
I hope this comes in useful to someone.

I have tried this, and using {vb:raw mgc_cb_evo_var}, and with script names in the section 'List of the other forum pages'. Only with script names in that section will the chatbox show on the page, but, it stuck on 'Loading' can anybody please help
