fleccy - do you have a timescale for the next version? The key feature for me is the ability to /kick people as without this we cannot really moderate properly.

My suggestion would be to store a 'kicked <date>' in the perms database field in the user table (where <date> represents the date they were kicked). You could test this variable when entering chat (as you do when someone is an admin) and stop someone entering chat if <date> = todays date. (If <date> was not equal to todays date then you would reset this field.) This would stop someone who had been kicked from reentering till the start of the next calendar day.

Another nice feature would be an 'invisible mode' (for admins only) so they could watch the chat without being shown as being in it. I've seen this on a few PHPmyChat boards previously.

Sorry to be a pest - it's a great hack so far :)

it wont be long because well it's half working and this is my main project at the moment :) damn school...

Don't worry about school - never did me any good.

(Well, apart from the nice job, house, car, family etc.) :D

fleccy,

any update on when this might be available? It's the last thing I need working before I can move over to VB3 (after the new excellent Arcade hack that is available :D)

thanks

James

Indeed, i just gave this a shot and have countless SQL errors. im hoping to get this on before we move servers.

muse,

what errors are you getting? I'm running on a test board without problem.

Are you using the 2.3 version or the version 3 one in this thread?

Any chance of this working for RC3?

Works fine with RC3. Just not the Admin part.

could be dreamweaver, i edited the files in that. ill give it another shot. the errors were:

Database error: Invalid SQL: UPDATE c_users SET u_time = 1075368298 WHERE room = 'Default' AND name = 'James'
MySQL error: 1054 (Unknown column 'name' in 'where clause')
Session halted.

Database error: Invalid SQL: SELECT usr.name, usr.latin1, usr.status, reg.gender FROM c_users usr LEFT JOIN user reg ON usr.name = reg.name WHERE usr.room = 'Default' ORDER BY name
MySQL error: 1054 (Unknown column 'usr.name' in 'field list')
Session halted

thankfully its the test board.

i think i missed a query somewhere

Any news on this hack yet? I'm really looking forward to it being a stable release as my users are desperate for a nice integrated chat room. :)

Question: Do you need to have your own copy of phpmychat for this or is it all included in the hack?
