This adds a simple Chatbox in your forum home page for your members to chat.

The Chatbox is like a thread, members leave small messages in it for others to see. Think of it as an off-topic thread that never ends. The Chatbox can also help keep chatting out of the threads.

This mod is light on the server, uses little server resources to work. The default refresh rate is set to 5 minutes. You can disable automatic refreshing entirely in the options.

What's the refresh rate? The chatbox updates the messages shown every given seconds, that's the refresh rate. It sends a request to the server asking for new messages every X seconds, that you choose in the options.

Warning: If you set your refresh rate to 10 seconds this mod stops being so server friendly. You can do it, but be sure your server can handle it.


Features:
- Ajax (no page refreshes)
- Pages
- Set refresh rate in seconds
- Hide Chatbox contents from certain user groups
- Set user groups that can't send messages but can view chatbox
- Moderator user groups that can delete messages
- Disable auto refresh for guests
- Prune messages by user ID, user name, days old or all
- Enable/disable smilies, bbcode and [ img ]
- Automatic URL parsing
- Users can delete their own messages
- Smilies popup with all smilies you can use in messages
- Who's Online Support
- Show message dates or not
- User names linked and colored with their user group colors
- Banned Users
- Hide refresh button
- /me code
- Optional message colors
- Bunch of options in the Admin Control Panel

VERSION HISTORY



This mod is now final. It has all the features I think a chatbox should have, so I won't be adding more features to it. Anyone has my permission to use this as a base for another mod. It will still be updated for bugs though.

are there any browser or computer settings that would make it so this mod doesn't work?

(maybe something to do with AJAX)?...i can't use it when i'm at work, and a member just notified me he is having the same issue...

but at home i can use it just fine...

The option to disallow certain usergroups to see the chatbox is a good idea, however they CAN see the chatbox - just not the messages in them. This seems kind of pointless - is there a way I can configure the chatbox to be only viewable by those that can also chat, and totally invisible to those that can't?

This mod should work on all browsers. What browser are you using? And does it gives errors?

You can use template conditionals to hide the chatbox from usergroups. Not sure the exact code though.

I realize that - the conditionals are:
PHP Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6, 7)">
<chatbox code>
</if> 
I just thought that maybe it should be in the instructions or hardcoded in to the hack since you offer the option. No big deal. Thanks again.

Sorry Dream, it's back to the other one for me
No problem, suit yourself. Be glad you have multiple chatboxes to choose from now as I wouldn't change that.

The way this mod is coded (with manual template edits) there's no way to do that.
