Chat Modifications - webChattr: Live Chat Rooms for Web and iPhone Users

Staff note: This modification has been removed as the services used by this modification are not available anymore.

webChattr is your own real-time chat room, anywhere and any time you need one.

Key Features:

1) No server resources are used on your server

2) It's Free

3) It displays members' avatars, linked to their profile

4) No software to install

5) Works great in just about any desktop web browser

6) Access live chat rooms from your iPhone or iPod Touch.

7) Make up a simple Web Address to create a room, like... http://webchattr.com/go/your_own_room_name_here

8) Participate in up to 5 chat rooms at the same time


More information on webChattr can be found here: http://webchattr.com

And now webChattr can be integrated with vBulletin with this module To install this module, please follow the instructions provided in the README.txt file.

I have tested this mod in vB 3.5.0, 3.6.5, 3.7.1 and 3.7.2

Note: This module is available only to the users who are logged into your forum. If a user is not logged in, the Chat link would take him to the login page.

Any feedback/suggestions/bugs are more than welcome.

That's really weird. I tried installing it again on a fresh copy of vb3.7.2 and it worked for me. This is the deal:
The class webChattr is included by executing the plugin "Include webChattr class file" at the global_start hook. Now since you have vb3.7.2, it should work for you. Please verify the following:

1) Make sure all three plugins are active
2) These should be the hook locations for the plugins:
Include webChattr class file: global_start (THIS IS NOT WORKING FOR YOU!!)
Display Page: forumhome_loggedinuser_query
Add Chat Link to Navbar: global_setup_complete

If the mod still doesn't work for you, I would recommend uninstalling the mod and then using the webChattr3.5.x & 3.6.x.zip file for installation. It is a bit more work to install (still takes less than 5 minutes), but the good thing is that it doesn't use hooks or plugins at all and should ideally work for you. Please give it a try

It appears that Webchattr has grown too fast for its own good. They took the service offline while they upgrade their infrastructure. They didnt say when and if the service will be back though.

wC should work again
