hi i installed the chatbox and it works
however there's a problem
everything is ok when i write in english

but when i try to write in hebrew and press enter to post the message
nothing happens

any ideas

[GameArtisan]

Cybernetic -> Ok, I found out how to place the chat in a specific forum other than the homepage. You should probably update your first post for others...

Go into Forum Admin panel >> Vbulletin Options >> Cyb - Chatbox
Find: Show ChatBox on...
Enter: index (default) for homepage and/or forumdisplay if you'd like to show it in another specific forum.
Find: Position on page - Choose "Disable"

Style Manager >> Forum Display Template >> ForumDisplay >> Find: $navbar
Insert the following under $navbar:
<if condition="in_array($forumid,array(your forum # seperated by , if more than one))">
$cybchatbox
</if>

This should work

Wow GameArtisan, maybe you can help me. I've an iphone specific style and I don't want that the chatbox display if someone is using this style. How can I do that? Any suggestion?

[GameArtisan]

I would suggest:

Go into Forum Admin panel >> Vbulletin Options >> Cyb - Chatbox

Find: Show ChatBox on...
Enter: index (this will make it show on homepage)

Find: Position on page - Choose "Disable"

Then for each style, put in the chatbox manually,
Style Manager >> choose each style >> Forumhome Template >> FORUMHOME >> Put $cybchatbox below $navbar

For your iphone style, just don't put in $cyberchatbox and it will not show.

You the man!!!! Thank you very much! It work!
