GREAT!! Now the MGC ChatBox is Working, by using the Step 3!! :up:

One little Additional Bug!! On the CMPS Page, the ChatBox Displays with a Width Longer that the Width of the Page, (it Doesn't Adjusts to the Width of the Page), so the Right Column of the CMPS page doesn't Show!!

I've Tried Changing the Width of the Field "Width of the field input" and No Results The Width Still the Same!!

When Collapsing the ChatBox, the Page Returns to Normal, so must be something related with the Display of the Content, because when I Reload the Page with the Chatbox Extended, the First Second the ChatBox displays Ok, but after that Second the ChatBox Width gets too Long!!

You can see this with your User in my Forums!!

I'll leave this Hack Active in my Forums for you to see this Bug!! (This Bug happened also with the Previous Code of the "adv_portal_mgc_chatbox" Template!!

My Best Regards and Great Work!!

I managed to Create a Top and a Bottom Columns in the CMPS Page of my Forums, and to Include in one of those Columns the MGC ChatBox, and Shows Fine!! :up:

I think the Problem with the MGC ChatBox Displaying with a widht Larger that the witdth of the Page, should be because of a <td width="100%"> in one of the Templates of the ChatBox, because that Forces the width of the ChatBox to be as Long as the widht of the Page, and with the Left and Right Columns of the CMPS activated, forces the Right Column to be Hidden on the Right of the Screen!!

-Step 1-

In
Admin Control Panel -> vBa CMPS -> Default Settings -> Main Options -> Location List

I added

top
Top Column

and

bottom
Bottom Column

To be able to Use this Colums in the adv_portal Template.

-Step 2-

In the adv_portal Template:

(Adding Code to Create the Two Columns Top and Bottom, to Use them Before and After, the Left, Center, and Right, Columns)!!

-2.1-

I Placed

<!-- Comienzo de C?digo Adicionado Para Top Column 2007_12_02 -->

<if condition="$show['top_column']">

<tr valign="top">

<td colspan="3">
$home[topblocks]
</td>

</tr>

</if>

<!-- Final de C?digo Adicionado Para Top Column 2007_12_02 -->

Before

<tr valign="top">
		<if condition="$show['left_column']">

-2.2-

and

I Placed

<!-- Comienzo de C?digo Adicionado Para Bottom Column 2007_12_02 -->

<if condition="$show['bottom_column']">

<tr valign="top">

<td colspan="3">
$home[bottomblocks]
</td>

</tr>

</if>

<!-- Final de C?digo Adicionado Para Bottom Column 2007_12_02 -->

After

				$home[rightblocks]
			</td>
		</if>
	</tr>

-Step 3-

In
Admin Control Panel -> vBa CMPS -> Edit Pages -> (Your CMPS Index Page)

I Placed My CMPS ShoutBox in the Top or Bottom Column, where I Want to See It!!

Of Course you can Display any other Control on those Top and Bottom Columns!!

I'm not having the loading problem. The problem I am having is that NOTHING is showing up inside of the module. The chatbox works fine if I am not using it inside of the CMPS, but when I have the module on nothing shows up inside the box.

Thoughts?

I have the shoutbox activated normally as of right now, the module is still up to show what is going on with it. As you can see, there is nothing displayed inside of it.

Hey, I got it to work. However, my entire mission was to get a chatbox that I could modify to look attractive in a sidebar, but it just didn't look good at all. Thanks anyways!

Ok followed this step by step and when adding the module through the upload module. I get a database error. The module is in the module folder when I check the server but I can't get to the other steps. I have tried manual adding the module and also manual adding a template and using the step 3 code but I still get the loading in the chatbox. When I go to type in it and hit enter to post a message it redirects me to another chatbox page.

Its working either way, using the default adv_mgc template as well as the 3rd custom template option.

But I am getting a starnge display problem. please check the attachment. I have got mgc_chatbox renamed in its general settings and the module named as chat and in the homepage both these appear.
