Installation:

1. Download the file "product-cchatbox-1.4.1_eng.zip" if you use English language on your forum, if you use Italian language download the file "product-cchatbox-1.4.1_ita.zip".
2. Upload file 'cchatbox.php', directory 'includes' and directory 'clientscript' into forum root.
3. Import XML File: AdminCP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add / Import Product
4. Go into: "AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> cChatBox" and set options for the ChatBox.

Note:

This product is compatible with vbulletin 3.6.8 and 3.7.x.
I have tested only with this version of vbulletin.

I've write also a little tool for convert the statistics of VBSHOUT for the cChatBox! You can find in the directory: "not upload/tool_cchatbox.php".
Use of this tool: Upload file "tool_cchatbox.php" in the root directory of forum and start the script only if you have installed the product cChatBox.


ATTENTION:

If you update from the version 1.0 or 1.0.1 you must delete all messages with the command /deleteall, because in the new version the "userid" of BOT is different.

One question though, how would I go about moving the location of it?

Im currently using Dreams chatbox and really like the position of it and would like to be able to do the same with yours.

Ive attached a screenshot of where I would liek to move it to.

If you can help that will be great

Also one problem ive noticed so far - If you click to change the colour of your text, once youve click on the colour it refreshs the page, but sticks on a white page - it dosent fully refresh.

you want the chatbox inside the "What's Going On" table or only under?

EDIT: tnx for the info of colour problems, i fix it

for the custom commands... i think in future

Custom commands would be really good

Is there also a way that the members name can be shown in their username colour?

[stelthius]

I have just run into a problem, when i want to change my font colour it takes me to /forum/cchatbox.php and just displays a blank white page is this a error or is it meant to do this ?
