installed and works great. pretty awesome. i had a quick question...i created a sidebar in my forum layout. can this be added to the sidebar? maybe as an iframe or something?
Is there a way to enable this for all usergroups in one click? I was left with a mess of usergroups (hundreds of them) and going through and enabling the chatbox settings in each usergroup individually sounds like a bear.

Sorry to say, but this is why all the sites I run/manage/am hired to clean up, is the BIGGEST NO NO! Anything more than 15 groups and you can debate with me in the face until you have a chocolate bar come out the other end and you still won't win....
Cut your usergroups down....If you have more than 30, it's time to merge.
VbDev might know because my brain is fried....
MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A dB backup BEFORE you do any of that.
Unfortunately, since the end of daylight saving time (summertime), the MGC Chatbox in my board http://www.blasted.de/ displays the wrong time. The time in the header is correct, the time in the posts is always one hour behind. Why is this? Is there a workaround for this bug?
That should be a server setting !
Nothing to do with the plugin
I've got everything running well (pretty sweet little plug-in, nominated for motm), with one weird exception.
When users go to their usercp and click on "edit options" they get the following error.
Quote:
Warning: require_once([path]/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_display.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/profile.php(4553) : eval()'d code on line 8
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/mw3forum/public_html/includes/mgc_cb_evo/class_display.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mw3forum/public_html/profile.php(4553) : eval()'d code on line 8
I wasn't aware that MGC did anything on the user options screen of the usercp. Any idea what's going on here?
