If your chit chat system does not load its down to the welcome message please remove the HTML Code:
<br>
from the welcome message in the admincp chit chat settings.

This problem has been fixed in this version.

Just to let you all know i will be making this abit more customizable in time.
This is the first release of this script and will need changing and updating.

I will also be adding in a ban member function so that you can ban members in the chat system as well as a bad word replace as well.

This will take alittle time to get sorted out.

So can i install this for only one usergroup to use?

Yes you can have this limited to one usergroup if you wanted.
Just change the usergroup settings to no for usergroups that you dont want to use it and yes for the usergroups you will let use the system.

very nice , but

there is no link in navbar to point to the chat php page

I will make a quick how to for this later and then add it into the product.xml file when i upgrade it to have the bad word filter.

but I couldnt find a link any where

so i just added one to my forums, is that right ?

would like a popup system so you can chat and do other stuff though

all in all nice hack thanks:up:

I have it set for 2

Your welcome m8 glad you like it i will be making it so that you can choose to have it as a popup or in a vb page.

plz explain a lillte more, i cant understand , chit chat is not display anywhere for me

but there is nothing display anywhere , can u explain

it wont add a link as far as i can tell so i had to manually add a link to a forum catagory i made a link

I think the coder is going to make a link but as far as i know the mod works but no links will appear unless you add one like this http://www.yoursite/forums/vbchitchat.php

yes. thanx dude , its display , but can u guide me how i can manually add this in my navbar ???

Interesting... tagged it

any way to ban users from the chat?

This system uses the usergroup settings so you can just make a new usergroup up like chit chat banned and give them the same settings as a normal user but access to the chit chat is set to no and they would not be able to use the chat system.

the author has added it to navbar and added it allowed to popup great work

just update buddy

it follows permissions so you can ban them all together,

or you could add a higher permission class and that way you could dump them from the allowed class back to a non allowed class

EASY stuff

What if a member already belongs in 2 user groups? I have a couple that I do, and vbulletin only allows you to put them in a primary and sometimes secondary usergroup.

Its a good mod, but I would think about adding an option in the mod itself to ban users.

you could probily mask their permissions to allow it :>

Added just for you m8 :D

Nice work there thank you!!

Sorry all please redownload and upload all the files again as the ban and unban was open to everyone to use.
I have now fixed this problem but you will need to download the new files and upload to your site.

No need to import the product.xml as this was a file change and an update the the swf file only.

Sorry for this problem but its fixed now.

installed

test it for now

Hi,

Nice Addon as far as I can tell from the screenshots.

I have done all the steps to install the program. I uploaded the file and installed the plugin via AdminCP

Import product-chitchat.xml - > was called: product-chitchat_v104.xml but I guess that was just due to the version.

I can see the chat icon in my navbar as well as I can define the configurations. My problem is, that when I Go to: AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> {Select Usergroup} -> I have no "Chit Chat Permissions -> Save" listed anywhere. Any idea why?

Due to this I cant enter the chat.
thx.
Dennis

Please make sure that the file called bitfield_vbchitchat.xml has been uploaded to your forums root folder includes/xml
If its not there thats why you are having this problem.
If it is there then try this in your admincp to see if it helps

Hi there.
I installed all the addon, but the chat didnt display anywhere... Not even an icon in the nav-bar
Any help?

I have the same problem...

The Chat runs. You only have to edit an Navlink with destionation: vbchitchat.php

Does it have a pop up window?
