Here is a screenshot of the current chatbox on front page. We expect a large amount of our traffic to be chat. So having it forefront is important.

BTW, A few of our users actually reported some serious performance problems with addonchat and firefox 2.

berben4 - Thank you for the code correction. As far as the link code you require, you can link directly to the chat room from any page on your site (outside of vBulletin) using any of the link codes provided in your AddonChat account control panel (Home -> Chat Room Link Code) and under Settings -> Site Integration -> Who's Chatting you can find the Who's Chatting link code.

dodjer42 - The Chat Box you're using looks like a stateless chat room and functions much differently than AddonChat. While it would be possible to place the chat room on the main page, I wouldn't advise to do so in this manner as whenever the user moves to a a different page, he/she would lose the socket connection. There should be absolutely no performance problems with Firefox 2 -- in fact, we use Firefox 2.0.0.14 on all of our development systems for primary testing under Mac OS-X, Vista, and Win XP.

DiesellMinded - Already on the suggestion list for the 8.1 update. When the feature is available, we'll be sure to include it into the vBulletin integration script.

nwingate - Good suggestion, I'll add it to our list :) Thank you!

Thank you Chris, you have a really great product :)

I am running vB 3.7.1, and just installed this addon. The installation seemed to go smoothly, but after refreshing my admin control panel, and clicking on "AddonChat/Account Settings", I received this error message:

"Warning: require_once([path]/includes/functions_addonchat.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/addonchat.php on line 10

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/jbear6/public_html/includes/functions_addonchat.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/jbear6/public_html/admincp/addonchat.php on line 10"

I don't have a "functions_addonchat.php" file in my includes folder, should I?

Thanks,
Jbear6

Jbear6 -- Yes, you should. It should have been copied over with all of the other files during the initial installation. In the archive, you'll find the file in the upload/includes folder. You may also want to double check that all of the other files in the includes/ folder (including files in the includes/xml and includes/cron folder) have been uploaded as well.

Thanks Chris, the file was there in the archive includes folder. I don't know how I missed it. I uploaded it, and everything is working just fine. Thanks!

How do i enable the directive php allow_url_fopen or how do I know what to put in Account Details box since my Automatic Lookup Did not work?

When i click addonchat account settings i get a white page url ending
/index.php
how do i remove the files to install from fresh again?

I am confused as to what to put in the account detail box since the automatic lookup did not work.

Awesome product, installed and working in minutes with 3.7.1

Buy the commericial version for Vbulletin integration to work, well worth the money

Thanks!
