the hack worked great, and I thank you very much for the time and effort put into this idea, however we switched, and found info chat to be much more to our liking. We have it in our site, but we would like to have the auto member log in set up like it was previously for multicity, incorperated for info chat.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

and yes, we did a seach, and nothing showed up except the same question, about the same topic. :)

I'm new to php, but is there anyway to make it so moderators and admin see a different template than other users. I'm wanting to use this hack for another chat service, but I need to allow my mods to be able to moderate the chats.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Just tried this out and I must say it worked really well. Excuse me for being dumb - but is the multicitychat remotely hosted?? Its just that unfortunately my host (hostrocket) do not allow java applets on there servers.

Cheers in advance

PS - would it be possible to incorporate different chat rooms for different forum sections??

Yes it is remotely hosted.

is there a parameter to turn off the detach button? anyone know?

Ok, I would like to know if there is a way that I can increase the size of the chat window. I have several thousand members on my forum, and this little window won't cut it once I get the normal amout of users in there. Thats around 100 for most of the day.

Edit: Nm, I found out what the Detatch button does. :) I just found out that I want to get rid if the disconnect button.

<PARAM NAME="ShowDetach" VALUE="FALSE">

also:

<PARAM NAME="LocatorEnabled" VALUE="FALSE">

... will turn the "Active Chats" button into a "Home Page" button (so people won't be wandering over to another channel).

Change the HEIGHT parameter in the APPLET tag from 385 to something larger.

Hope that helps!

well I like the detatch button, it lets you use a window to resize it. I wanna get rid of the disconnect.

Well I decided that I didn't like the multicity applet when I saw how little control I had. So I am using irc now. You only have to register a channel, and then replace the applet in the chat_hack template with this. The stars specify that you need to change something on that line. Usually just putting in the server and channel name.

It works fine for me. If you wanna see what it looks like the click here. Keep in mind that I changed the dimensions of mine.

Is there a way to temporarily allow non-forum members access to the chat room? In other words, say I want to open the chat room to members and nonmembers alike one night a week. Is there an easy way to do this?
