hey guys...

I did some work, and came up with a 'chat entry page' for this hack.

Just add a link somewhere on your forum for CHAT - that points to this page . You can even link to this page from any html, ssi, shtml or whatever page.

What it does is transfer all the variables for you, and give the user some info about chat (how many people are in chat, who they are, what chat rooms are open) -- I also thought it would be a good place to display rules and stuff.

This also makes the hack easier to install, because you don't have to edit any of the templates or php files. (not really a big deal anyway)

this is very ugly, and is just for illustration purposes right now. Most of the code (99%) is from what version posted earlier, so I can't really take much credit for any of this...

this version does not show a list of available chat room, as I plan to control what rooms are open myself by editing this file. I generally only use one chat room. - but this part wouldn't be too hard to add. (I left the code needed for it in)

Maybe after I finish this, I will post a better looking version of it.--

Let me know if anyone is interested in seeing the finished entry page.
I am pretty new to this stuff, and I KNOW there is some extra code in there that I don't need (but I'm not done yet) -- I am open to sugestions of what else people would like to see in here.

You will have (AT LEAST) have to do some edits here, especially the login stuff at the bottom -(www.yoursite.com)
This script drops straight in your forum folder.
with a little html cleanup, this will be a nice piece!
