I know it works with vbadvanced when you are in the same folder as your forum.
But if you use vbavanced with the forum in a directory it won't work ! I suppose you're not in that configuration
That's correct. We had such problems with vbGallery aswell, I think we fixed it by replacing all urls in MGC php & js files and templates. The urls should be set to the vbBBurl variable, instead of leaving out url, and using relative urls/paths.
hm i get members abusing the shoutbox everyday and im sick of it. Is it also possible if i can add msg warning them with text when they enter the text field? and i only want to have implented on specific usergroups
thanks alot if you can do this
edit: ok the vb staff helped me and it works on quick reply but i still cant post öäå and £ on the shoutbox
i did ths to work on quick reply
AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > General Settings > Disable AJAX Features > Disable Problematic AJAX Features
yeah thats my point, i want a command that it opens a new popup or new window whichleads to a new forum section and a new url site like forum/downloads.php
where can i add it theres html codes php codes and go no clue where to do that or how
If you have knowlegedin javascript, php and html you can handle it yourself by creating a new command through the dedicated system in the admincp.
Some clue to do the forum open command :
Create a js file in clientscript/mgc_cb_evo_cmd containing a function that take an url string as parameter and just open a new window (window.open javascript function) at the url given as function parameter
Create a new chatbox command through the admincp. And configure it somehow like the ban or del command which doesn't return anything but just execute. You'll have to add in the php code executed on chats sending code that contains :
This code is not tested and written on the fly so you should perhaps dig a bit to correct it. You'll also to add the name of your js file to include in the command parameters.
Don't hesitate to ask me questions if you need help on figuring out how to do it. If you have not the skills to do that just wait for me to work on it

Yes I know, I just have to write some code to make it work for both with a single version of files

Yes but you don't have quick reply in ajax now am I wrong so it did fix the problem by avoiding direct quick reply without page reload ?

Which error did you get ?
Do you have the javascript debugger app installed on your firefox copy so that you can test which js error it is ?
