@VBDev:
There is no way to remove the "Top-Chatter" Box in the archive.
After setting it to "0", there will no top-chatters been shown, but the box is still there...
And when leaving this setting empty: database error.

Let me try to describe better (I hope):
I have some forums that users can only see by being a member of a "Group Membership"
When they become a member to that group, their user group also changes.
They become a member of a specific group.
Said forums are visible to this specific group only.

This is what I have on my forum and it does work.

Have you upgraded the files and so on since the one I sent you for the translation ?

Otherwise send me admin access as well as ftp so that I have a look.

I have 3 channels.
1- General 2 - Specific Group 3 - Team
When I click Specific Group, channel displayed correctly but the Title says Team Channel !
And for team channel vice versa.

Thanks for the great mod. :up:

Hum, just tested and working fine ... Sure of your channel configuration ?

Just those and these didn't update(that I've found)

I have checked the lang file (english) and it's ok those sentences are in the file and translated.

Hum indeed the line shall be removed if setting is set to 0, I'll add it to the todo list for the next version.

nope, nothing happens

I re-downloaded it from forumcoding and it works fine now...

[RHWiRED]

Why does it pop a message box when you refresh the page, saying "ehere". I checked the mgc_cb_evo_functions.js, and there is this line:

&first_load="+first_load+"&chatids="+b)}alert("ehere")}return false}function wait_chatbox_refresh(g)

Cheers

However I confirm the remove shout button problem.

Small error from me redownload the js file from the post and then upload to your forum and bye bye the popup box

[RHWiRED]

It's ok. I edited it, and removed that part. I changed it to:

&first_load="+first_load+"&chatids="+b)}alert()}return false}function wait_chatbox_refresh(g)
