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.

Sorry...thats not it at all on my site. I can enter text in the chat box...hit send...nothing happens. I have tried refreshing, etc..it just isnt there.

I can hot enter with no text in the Chat box... and it comes back as expected...no text entered. It does appear to be configured...

... I was wondering if this had anything to do with the manual config of the Chat.php (cant remember file name) where you alter the GMT time difference...

... Have tried several different settings in an attempt to get at least a sentence to appear... and nothing still.

Will leave it installed to I hear back.... and if not... will de-install... The users keep asking me about it - it is just not functioning


Cheers

I had a very similar strange thing on mine.

If I typed a message it could not be seen in IE6 but it could in FF.

Now if I clicked a drop down menu like the quick links one....The chat suddenly appeared on the screen in IE.

Very Strange

[madbrit]

OK... THis is very strange...

I had absolutely no text in my chat box after several attempts. I then put in a smilie in the box..hit return... and BAM.... all the old things I have typed just turned up.... very strange indeed....

What does this mean guys?

I pray that fix's the error I am having

Sorry, but the administrator has disabled your usergroups access to the chat.

Like heck I did ...

Any updates Tim?

Same problem as post #395 kal-L
Running vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1.
Installed, asper instructions.
Click on Chat in NavBar, get message:
"Sorry, but the administrator has disabled your usergroups access to the chat."
What to do?
Nothing in EWT vBChat ACP settings to enable/disable usergroups. Can't find elsewhere in the ACP settings anything that allows usergroups access to chat.
In the chat_ajax.php what am I suppose to enter for User Configuration? Is that where I went awry?
I did update $datecut & $gmtcorrect to my forum's settings. -6 works for $gmtcorrect, doesn't it?

[yeku]

I have a serious problem.

The smiles nor signs like "ñ" do not work and/or "?,¿", "´", etc...

Some idea?

Thanks

[Coux]

installed but have not clicked install because it seems to work fine in FF but not in IE no messages shown in IE but they do show in FF.

you have to edit your usergroup settings.. it's in there to give permissions.
