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.

Thanks for cChatBox. Installed!

So far I can identify two errors:

1. Changing "Bot Name" is not reflected on the Chat Box titlebar.

2. Enable Users List shows database error.

Can be viewed here.

Archive option or the ability to post all of the messages in a specific thread daily would be good addition.

Great mod.
