[Break on this error] mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete();

The code appears to be:

$(document).ready(function(){
 mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete();

Any ideas what would cause this?

I think i figured it out.

the function mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete() is in a template that is only used when the chatbox is active.

However, the function is called on every page since msc_cb_evo_headerinclude is included every where.

I removed the following code

function mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete()
	{
   	<if condition="!empty($autocompletion_js)">
  			$("#mgc_cb_evo_input").autocomplete([$autocompletion_js]);
		<else />
			;
		</if>
	}

from the mgc_cb_evo template and put it in the headinclude template

my new mgc_cb_evo_headinclude template looks as such.

<!-- JS -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/js/jquery.autocomplete.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/js/jquery.blockUI.js"></script>

<!-- CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_add/css/jquery.autocomplete.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

	

<script>

function mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete()
	{
   	<if condition="!empty($autocompletion_js)">
  			$("#mgc_cb_evo_input").autocomplete([$autocompletion_js]);
		<else />
			;
		</if>
	}

$(document).ready(function(){
	mgc_cb_evo_autocomplete();
});
</script>

Dear users,

Just wanted to let you know that I am not forgetting you

I have started the big modification of the chatbox to remove the command system and thus improve performances. For the moment, only the admin part is done but so far so good

I'll give you regular update on the development status.

MOD_SECURITY on linux boxes disables this plugin from working...

edit/create .htaccess

Add

<IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterEngine Off
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Place this in the root of the forum. Done.
