Chat Modifications - 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.

What type of avatars are they? I believe it only works with custom avatars that are stored in the database.

All custom avatars. Stored in the file system i believe.

One other thing shawn, is it possible to have the chat log held for longer, it seems to delete after a period of time. Thanks!

[digitalpoint]

It keeps stuff for an hour... if you want to make it longer, you can edit the "Clean Up Chat Table" plug-in and change "3600" to however many seconds you want to keep stuff.

Perfect, thanks.

Did you restore a partial backup or anything? Looks like the phrase group that it comes with isn't there any longer.

This was after a clean install of the chat mod.

Well that was odd, the phrase error went away but then I got this error (that fix worked).

I do have one more thing that I'm having trouble with, I'm trying to reverse the chat order (newest at top) and got the PHP part of it working. However I know zlich about JS/AJAX and can't seem to get it to put the new chats at the top, they still get added to the bottom. (they'll be at the top after a page refresh though).

Any ideas?
