[AJAX] EWT - Chat Minichat Addon (Shoutbox)

[eXtremeTim]

This addon gives you a shoutbox style minichat on your forum pages. Right now it shows up on all pages but I will release a new version soon which will have an option for forumhome only or all pages.

Demo: http://www.extremewebtech.com/forums/ - Im running a moddified slimlined version of this hack. If you want to get a custom layout like mine made so it fits into your site better please feel free to pm me and we will talk.

Requirements: You must have EWT vBChat installed for this to function correctly.


Special thanks to Sickboy for the idea behind this.

[Cyricx]

O wow! Brilliant tying the chat room into a shoutbox! :)

Well done!

[eXtremeTim]

glad you like it.

Also this requires 2.9.1 of vBChat for this to function correctly.

[Snake]

Tim, you know you're a God when it comes to modifications, right? :p Thanks a lot of the hack!

[eXtremeTim]

Thanks. :)

[bollie]

[eXtremeTim]

you must have EWT vBChat 2.9.1 installed for this to work.

[MikeLTAD]

Wow this is great and works like a charm. Only one question and it might be a stupid one but can you move the box. Mine is showing up at the top of the forums right under the nav bar. I would like it around the "whats going on box" at the bottom. Any ideas how to move it. Thanks

[eXtremeTim]

I will release an updated version in the next few days with an option to select where it shows and stuff.

[Kihon Kata]

oh you're back working again, Tim?

[ninjamaster]

thanks nice work :)

[Mastar]

I would like it to show on in the arcade as an option.

[Olli460]

How can you make the shoutbox appear on custom skins? It only appears on the default vbulletin skin for me.

[bollie]

Work not
i use EWT vBChat 2.9.2

[sonichero]

does not work with 2.9.2 because vbchat.php was renamed in 2.9.2

what template do you have to edit to find the placement code?

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

how is this on server load??

[sonichero]

runs smooth for me...

[eXtremeTim]

add $minichat in where you want it to display.

[eXtremeTim]

This should work as long as you uploaded the legacy file that I included in 2.9.2 which contains just the ajax functions for the minichat to work correctly.

[bollie]

Look http://www.pctuts.be/forum/index.php?styleid=63 not work

[eXtremeTim]

Becuase you didnt upload the vBChat.php legacy file in vBChat 2.9.2

[bollie]

Thx tim ;)

[eXtremeTim]

Your Welcome. :)

[sonichero]

I put $minichat below the Who's Online Template and it still appears on top. I really only want it at the bottom of the pages where only "who's online" is present

ill try to figure it out.

[eXtremeTim]

just go comment out the auto template edit php code thats at the bottom of the plugin.

[eXtremeTim]

Heres a copy of the product with no auto template edit so you can place $minichat where you want it to show up.

[bollie]

Can i remove tabel ?

[eXtremeTim]

yes just do a display: none css attribute for the column in the table.

[Fungsten]

Neato. Question. Only the members that have permission to see it can see it, right? Thanks.

[eXtremeTim]

Not just yet I have to release a new version of this to take advantage of permissions still.

[bollie]

??????

[eXtremeTim]

When i have some time later ill get you a find and replace. :)

That would be great.

[dbirosel]

wow Tim, your coming out strong. Mad props to yah!

[ausjeepo]

This is a great addon thank you.

What I would like to do is add a option in the usercp so they can choose if this displays or not. Can someone tell me how I can do some sort of if command to either show the chat box or not.

Thanks

[eXtremeTim]

Glad you like it. :)

I will hopefully get this updated today to work with v3.0.1 :)

[Nimrod.]

Yeah, Im looking forward to adding this addon as soon as it's updated.

[auctionguy]

I have a fresh install of 3.0 , will this work for that version??

[JawadIT]

really nice product
but i am having a small problem
after i upoad the product it is not appearing at all on the forum pages
my vbchat version is 2.9.1

[Nimrod.]

Hey Tim, any word on this yet? I'd really like to get this updated.

[eXtremeTim]

Im working hard on everything right now and these bugs in the chat are driving me nuts.

*tim kicks ie7*

Hahaha, ok. I take it that it's not going as smoothly as planned. Well, I still cant wait for it, but dont exhaust yourself over getting it out either.

The other chat works fine but, when I turn on the mini version it shuts down my whole forum...
