Digital Point Chat
 

About
This is a simple, pseudo realtime chat system for vBulletin 4.

I tossed this together today real quick as a test of something and figured that people might have some use for it.

Installation

• Put the chat.php file in your forum folder.
• Put the digitalpoint_chat.js file in your clientscript folder.
• Install the product-dp_chat.xml product under AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

You can find setting for it under AdminCP -> Options -> Settings -> Digital Point Chat

It has full unicode support so non-latin based languages work as well.

Very nice!

Excellent mod.

Great mod, just what I wanted

I knew someone would ask for a vBulletin 3 version, so I 'backported' this with Shawn's (digitalpoint) permission :)

it's attached. I made some minor graphical tweaks, so when you install it will look different to the screenshot (No black lines anymore), and I make NO guarantee or warranty with this, if your forums blow up because of it, this disclaimer makes me blameless (I'm not saying your forum will blow up)

What sort of load will this type chat use up on the hosts end????
Looks good will give it a whirl today and see what the user think of it!
Thanks

Any particular benefit/difference between this and some of the other shoutbox mods out there or is this just an alternative?

nice. works on 4.0.7 are there any mod controls? to say kick scrollers and trolls?

That?s a very interesting point.

Not much, but there are settings to adjust how often it polls.

No idea, never looked at any others.

Already on the to-do list for future.
