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.
