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.

There have been major changes to the order of planned events. I ended up doing the ajax this morning instead of saving it for v3. Right now some new features and group permissions will make it into v2.9.x.

I will release 2.9.0 here shortly as we are giving it one last set of tests before its released.

P.S. the estimated bandwidth usage for one hour with 20 members in the chat is around 40-65mb. Average ajax page is around 1kb. Reloaded every 1.5 seconds right now.

2.9.0 released!!!

Whats new in 2.9.0?
AJAX!!!!!
This means no more annoying reloads or iframe anymore. You can see it running over at the demo site and test it out all you want.

Yes I realize the ban user page still doesnt work. I am working on moving everything over to the vb permission system and usermanager.

they can be removed for a donation of $15. I am trying to get people to donate to help fund the time I have been pouring into this script.

Chadi, you will have to input the filename of vBChat into your vBSEO CP. To do that, login to your vBSEO CP > General Settings > vBSEO Options > Exclude Pages? > And input "vbchat.php" in the field.

Lemme know if that works or not.

Reasonable, in my view.
And I will gladly do so when this wonderful script is more functional in terms of usergroup permissions, and other issues, should the ads still be present in future versions.

I'm registered on your boards and on the chat right now. I see you on the chat also and tested to see how the PM feature works. Pressed it many times and also disabled popups.

[eXtremeTim]

pms just adds a msg into the msg box like an irc style pm.

I'll test this, thanks.

BTW, can this be translated with phrases?
