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>

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.

This thread has been restored for the author to release the lite version.

Thats really sad. I was hoping to try this program and it appears I'm a few days late to get a download. Anyone care to share the file to me? Just drop me a PM.

[eXtremeTim]

Lite version released.

[redtaz]

What does the lite version have thats different?

[eXtremeTim]

Right now its the same but with the ads and stuff. But im hard at work on v3 and will start possible releasing some early beta's of it soon for people to look at who have purchased the pro version. This version wont be getting many updates from here on out while the pro version already has a new ajax system that im ready to implement in v 2.9.5 which will be a step towards v3.

The new ajax I have made so far for v3 will allow almost 500% more load in the chat before it taxes the server to the same point as the current lite version. So I hope to get that released in the next 24 hours or so and then get full force into v3 which is a completely new set of code behind everything and stemming over to a more powerful and flexible system.

I plan to have a early stable release of v3 ready in the next 5-7 days if not less which will consist of a much faster core engine with a limit amt of features available at first but should push the capabilities of this chat well past that of flashchat and most other chats for server loads.

The professional version also gets priority support.

What about the addition of avatars to chat and the ability to turn it off and on... I mean custom avatars that will be pulled off of vbulletin. Have you thought about that suggestion yet?

[Fungsten]

BTW, the way I updated it was to reload the product and overwrite. I hope that's all I had to do. Thanks.

Yes...... at least it does on my site.

I suggest not overpricing the software. Make it $5 so you can compete with Flashchat. A lot of people will eventually buy it at that price and you'd break even faster.
