As I told you before Faranth this will make a more than fitting replacement for my vB2 chat hack, I'll definitely install this.

Installed with no problems. To avoid having to change the header template, just put the files and directories in the root folder, delete all the php files, and use a separate style and add the applet to the forumdisplay template, then make that style permanent for a particular forum, and link to that forum. :)

for my next version there will be an installer, it will install the templates to the global style

plus there is 6-7 templates for the next version for the options that im including :)
also alot of the options will be setable via the ACP :)

Are you planning (or could you consider) adding the feature of showing who is currently or recently in the chat room on another page? I think this has been done recently in the VB3 jIRC hack.

look forward to the new version!

i MIGHT be able to, but dont count on it, im not sure how jIRC does it. anyone who is doing it is probally doing it via an eggdrop, or a server service, however i might be able to define the chat location and do somthing with that, howeveer if they continue to browse the forums then that location would drop

Ok, I think I'm gonna be installing anyway :)

You could always have a "Users who have recently entered the chat room list..." log the time each person goes in and give them say a 60min expiration time. This might not be good for sites where people sit there all night, however for sites with short span chat sessions it would be handy.

if i cant get vBXirc 2.5 finished tonight expect it tomorow, i just need to finish the settings group and recoding / standardizeing the templates

If you used my method of putting the chat applet in a forum, you can then have the number of users show up at the top of the page, as well as on the homepage, for users in that forum. :)

Btw, is there a way of getting rid of the stupid "download JVM59.tmp" popup window? :)

ill check into it (i havent goten it for ages as i set it to always allow)


what is "your" method?
