This is the best chat system I have seen yet. I have used jIRC, pIRC and FlashChat and this blows them all away!

There are plenty of user configurable options, it looks better than j/pIRC, it is faster than FlashChat and doesn't expose you to hackers (because it is hosted remotely). I love it!

Although I plan to upgrade to the Pro edition so I can get all of the options, I have been using this for a couple of days with the free version and vBulletin integration and it works just fine.

jbear6 -- Glad you got it working :) If you feel that the installation instructions need revising or have any suggestions, please let me know.

andrewc_11890 - You need either CURL or the allow_url_fopen directive enabled. If you're using a hosted service, you'll need to contact your web host provider to enable one of these two options. If you run your own server, the easiest way to get it going is to edit your php.ini file and set allow_url_fopen to On. (allow_url_fopen = On) It's not necessary to have this option enabled for installation or use, but it does make installation a little faster and is required for using the Who's Chatting system.

kefallon - Not sure how that could have happened. I wouldn't recommend removing any files, but rather re-installing the files and making sure they've been copied to the correct location. In this case, it sounds (at the least) as though the addonchat.php file wasn't uploaded to the admincp/ folder.

acorndomains.co - Wonderful! :) Glad everything is working well for you. Just an FYI, we do have a UK division (support@addonchat.co.uk) should you need assistance they may be able to answer enquiries a little faster for you if you're across the pond.

CNibbana - Great to hear! eMail support@addonchat.com with your account number and the service level you think you may be interested in getting, and we'll be happy to give you a two week trial.

I have admin priviledges but can't seem to add a chat room. I'm I missing something.

Did you upload the files as per the instructions? If so, you should simply have to enter your account number and password from the AddonChat menu in the AdminCP and everything will be set up automatically.

Chris, did you get the support ticket info?

Boofo -- one of our other techs may have caught it, perhaps? What's the ticket number? I'll be happy to look into it.

I think I did. I got this error:

I don't have the Pro + or Enterprise account.


On Edit:

I didn't realize you had to purchase:

Just make sure you set the option to enable remote authentication to 'No' during the initial setup, and any free account will work just fine -- the features are limited, but you'll still have a nice embedded chat room :)

Im getting this error when trying to install the product....

Any ideas here??

hello??
