Major Additions - [AJAX] EWT Chat 3.0.1 Lite

This is a php/mySQL powered chat system.

EWT Chat 3.0.0 Lite Changes
-Complete Recode
-Enhanced ajax which performs much faster and should allow for an additional load of 500% compared to the last release of 2.9.x
-Many changes to everything
-Remove private message system for now
-Remove /cmds besides /me for now

EWT Chat 3.0.01 Lite Changes
-Redid layout and javascript for planned changes to the pro side and to make things look cleaner.
-fixed various little things.

Whats the difference between pro and lite?
Lite:
The lite version supports only one chat room with no ability to create custom rooms.
It doesnt have any user preferences anymore either.
Basic yet functional chatroom without advanced features

Pro: (Still being developed)
Ability to create custom and private rooms
Plus many more things soon to come.

I think this release fixes every reported bug that I have read about.




Version 2.9.x to 3.0.0 Upgrade Steps:
Upload all the files
Upload the product file
Delete any old files from the previous versions
Disable the minichat addon if you have it for now as it wont work with v3 just yet until I release an updated version.
Open up the fresh install readme and follow the steps for editing ajax_chat.php (just a few settings I didnt feel we needed to use a query for)


2.9.1 to 2.9.2 Upgrade Steps:
Open up template navbar find:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function OpenvBChat(){
vBChat = window.open('vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]','vBChat','directories=no,height='+window.screen.height+',width='+window.screen.width+',location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no')

return false;
}

-->
</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vBChat.php?$session[sessionurl]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>

Replace with:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function OpenvBChat(){
vBChat = window.open('chat.php?$session[sessionurl]','vBChat','directories=no,height='+window.screen.height+',width='+window.screen.width+',location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no')

return false;
}

-->
</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php?$session[sessionurl]" onclick="return OpenvBChat();">vBChat</a></td>

Please if you use this hack click install and feel free to donate to help support the future development of this system.


V3 is a highlight release for this product as it runs and performs much faster then ever before and can now handle a considerable amt of load.

This chat script should technically be able to support 1k+ users on a good high end server.

Future version Feature Request:

1. option for sound notification when someone joins chat (maybe even visual notification - flashing or something). I'm always mulitasking.. so keep losing out on replies or when people come into chat room. they leave beforeI realise. heh.

2. user group option to "see chat, but can't login/chat"

any thoughts on these?

To upgrade just upload all the files in the package and reupload the xml product.

Yes this means upload vBChat.php from the package as well this is a legacy file used by the minichat addon.

omg ...great job with the fast updates... but SHEESH!!! almost hard to keep up.. I JUST upgraded to 2.9.2!! heh. keep it up!

Keep up the great development!

please in the next release remove the message box that says " you must enter a message"
Its annoying! thanks

[eXtremeTim]

that message exists to keep you from running the ajax for no reason :P

[eXtremeTim]

Your welcome and I will release more details on just what all im planning soon but for now just keep giving me ideas.

[abdulla1]

an idea is a small photo next to each user signed in. Some photos to choose from. would be great.

[eXtremeTim]

So hopefully everybody is having less problems now then they were yesterday.

Hello!

Thank you for the new version!

Can you make it possible for links to appear like hyperlinks? It is not possible to click on url's, and even not possible to copy them, sometimes (scrollbar is moving).
