It would be great if we could have more than just the Slap
That's ain't possible right now.

What would you expect as commands ?

As users had complain that they had issues with CMS integration, I changed the code to make it work with my CMS integration product (see my website).

I uninstalled the product , still getting the same message when trying to update any user group


after being uninstalled, I found this section displayed in user groups page (MGC Chatbox Evo : Custom permissions) , not removed

This may be the reason that I got the same database error
How can I solve this and remove that section from user groups page?
Downloading the original vbullettin script did not resolve the issue

Thanks in advance
If the product is indeed removed you shouldn't be having those fields.
Have you done things in the right orders ?

Have you removed all chatbox files from your server ?

Please try the following:

Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
Open the www.araphil.com home page, then try to open another page.
Click the Back button to try another link.

The www.araphil.com forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Any help please
Please post the database error that you certainly have received to your email if you set correctly your vbulletin config.php file.

Nicely done, and thanks.
Thanks You don't imagine how much hours I spent on the chatbox during all those years

Has anyone extended the 'bot to handle a smart response engine?

i.e. has anyone implemented an Eliza like 'bot?

I added this simple plugin to get fortune quotes (you need fortune installed on your Linux server).

Depending ont eh path of the images, you may have a problem with it showing user avatars. Take a look at the properties of the image and see what's missing

I think this might be the menu_open.gif file, it has dissapear from vB archive in latest version apparently. You have to retrieve it from the previous vB version and put it in the misc dir.

If I try to click on the arrow next to a post, after the update there is no background shown and it looks not as usual.

Does anyone have an idea? The same if I try to delete a posted message:


What I found as well, the fetch_userinfo_query.php as only an <? instead of an <?php. It seams, that's the only one script with an <?... is there a certain reason?

Well hard to say, noone reported this.

No it should be <?php though it's not a reason for errors.

Check if you have javascript errors in firefox console ?
