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.

Oh wow so many updates. Any idea when v3 lite will be out? In how many hours, days?

[eXtremeTim]

we are currently about to test v3.0.0 lite on a new site to make sure I have it packaged up good. If so then I will release it here shortly there after.

EWT Chat 3.0.0 Lite has been released. This version is a complete rewrite and is limited to only core features unlike the pro version thats being worked on and hopefully will be released later today.

The load of the chat should be considerably less now then on previous versions.

Important Notice: All current messages in the system will be deleted on upgrade to 3.0 since we are using a new storage method that Im still working on.

Do I still need the files in the admincp folder? I notice these are not in this 3.0.0 version?

[Kazenka]

Link demo is failed ! Give me other ! Thanks !

[Nimrod.]

Can we just upload the 3.0 version, or do we need the previous 2.9 version?

[Neal-UK]

I'm getting % and @ signs before users names in chat for some reason....

[eXtremeTim]

Demo link updated.

Files in the admincp folder are currently not needed as the lite version doesnt have an extensive admincp controls.

2.9.x is obsolete. Update to 3.0 for a more server friendly version.
