You may edit messages by double clicking on them (If you have permission to do so), delete messages by clicking on the '#' in front of your messages, send a user a private message by single clicking their name, or speed up/slow down the speed messages are typed at by pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrow keys on your keyboard.

Like others, I am suffering from the error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4644
However, it is only occuring on my CMS page.


I actually like the typewriter effect. The only thing I really dislike about this hack besides the little glitch, which I'm sure will be fixed is the date format needs to be addressed as an Admin CP setting option as it currently looks horrible. Everything else with this chatbox is extremely well done just please fix the date/time issue

Installed, box shows up at bottom of forums (which is weird) couldn't get it to show up top.

But also its just white, flashes loading, then you type and nothing, dead.

Not sure what to do.

Step 3 is a bit too vague. What exactly is the proccess after I'm in Usergroup Managemer?
I've done the rest of the steps, however.

I also seem to get the line error.

For anyone looking, line 4664 of functions.php is
"* @param boolean If true, returns combined usergroup permissions, individual forum permissions, individual calendar permissions and attachment permissions"

Just took a look at the reported vB5 bug and i have failed to reproduce it in my test environments, i am in the middle of packaging 0.6.6 so all i can suggest is updating to this.

-0.6.6
--Fixed an issues with PHP 5.3

[gothicuser]

Many thanks for the update, but I'm afraid the error is still there.
On the 'Home' (CMS) page it displays:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4644

at the top.
Just so you know, I have NO other mods or styles installed. Bog-standard vb4 Beta5.
PHP 5.3
Apache 2.2.13
MySQL 5.0.83
Linux CentOS

p.s. if you need admin to see for yourself, you're more than welcome, just PM me.

It still doesn't work in IE7. When viewing it in IE7, it makes the whole page blank. I still have my header and links at the top, but the forum its self is blank. In FF it works fine :-)

Also just wanted to add. I am still on 4.0 Beta 4. Also I have been told that it works in IE8 but not 6 or 7. In FF my Contact Us, Admin, Mod, Archive, Top links at the bottom are all jacked up. They show down at the bottom left.

[Giray]

Yup. Upgraded to 0.6.6 and still get:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4644
on my CMS page.
