Do you know what they did and can you tell me which host it is ?

So I can add this to a kind of FAQ ?

1F42 · #**7543** 01-10-2012, 09:20 AM

Ok thanks for link I did upload it but got the error before I installed, I've read the link you sent me and I am editing the php.ini file now to use ioncube will update here later

No, i don't know. I think that the host already have it and just need to be activated. It seems that the php.ini have changed (i can see it but not modified it).

But i had a problem on installation, it seems that the version from the host isn't the last version and my forum broked. I had to return to the old version.

Do you know which version we need for your script? With 3.3.20, it's not working.

Hum sorry 'bout that, not sure I did change something in bot tables but that might be in non released beta version, can't remember.

All my excuses

The one of your host is an old version, I am using encoder version 7, guess it need a loader v4.x.x. Do you think he can upgrade it ?

Not sure if I can generate for older loaders, will check tonight at home.

Anakior · #**7547** 01-10-2012, 09:52 AM

I will ask them to see if they can make the upgrade and report it as soon i have an answer.

Thanks for the help.

Skyborg · #**7548** 01-10-2012, 10:03 AM

Hey VBDev,

i found my Phrases in the Database so i can copy/paste it.

That is a new Phrase.
(1, 'Wie ist das Wetter?', 'a:1:{i:0;s:24:"Wie immer, {username}!!!";}'),

and that is an old one:
(2, 'Wer ist der Schönste?', 'Der Muffel hinter den 7 Bergen... :-)'),

maybe you can update it by your script?!?

I will go on and copy my old phrases into admincp und then they will work.

If you need one how can test the Bot-Phrase-Update vom 3.0.0 to the new Version. Ask me i have a test-forum running.

Thank you for this nice Chatbox ... its really cool!!!

get this now

The file ......./mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_core.php cannot be decoded by this version of the ionCube Loader. If you are the administrator of this site then please install the latest version of the ionCube Loader.

seems i have not got the latest version?

dr.luke · #**7550** 01-10-2012, 10:19 AM

We don't have ionCube installed (dreamhost) and it's a problem for us to install it, so we are back to 3.0.0.

Seems so, try asking to your host if they can upgrade.
I'll check on myself if I can generate for earlier version of ionCube.

Dreamhost provides tutorial to get it installed :

I am sorry for that but this is the only mean I had to protect my scripts from piracy...
