Embedded chat · **Released**: 03-27-2002

This "hack" will allow you to run a semi-integrated (free or paid) chat room "inside" your forum:

+ It's quite generic and should work with several chat providers (made a seperate template, just for the applet code)
+ The chat room will be displayed within your forum's structure,
+ The chat applet will be sized according to the user's screen resolution (could get scary at 1600x1200

)
+ People will be logged into the chat room using their forum usernames (if the chat supports auto-login)
+ Invalid characters in usernames will be replaced before logging in to the chat, plus too lengty names will be shortened
+ Easy installation

- At this time there's no feedback from the chat room to the forum. A "chat monitor" is planned though (version 2)

The install docs and template examples are mainly focussed on the chat provider we use (http://www.raidersoft.com), but it shouldn't be a problem adjusting one or two things to get this thing to work with your own chat provider.

The sizes of the chat applet haven't been tested out fully. I have no clue how bigger resolutions work out. All the rest seems to work fine.

Hope you like it...

[update 1.4]Sizes can now be set more easily, just by editing the chatredirect template, nothing else.
Added support for raidersoft's ICE, which is more flexible with usernames.

Hmm.. Your right the new version doesn't work

You still seem to be able to use the older version though.. Looks exactly the same, I wonder what the difference is?

Hey, the above chatbit example is based on the Professional Chat. I don't know if there are different settings for the free version. The best way to get the right settings is to simply check the Link Instructions in your RaiderSoft account. Main thing to check is the port value I think.
Try it with the exact RaiderSoft Link Instructions at first. And if that works, then replace some of the contents of chatbit with the variables $setwidth, $setheight and $username.

If everything checks out, and it still doesn't work, then I think you should contact RaiderSoft about this.

wot-Mike, installed this and works great ! Only problem is it doesnt show up who's in chat, any ideas ?

wot-Mike · #**115** 06-10-2002, 10:48 PM

One idea:

wait on the version that actually has a Who's in chat

It's ready enough now, so very soon...

Oh you tease I've been waiting for this for ages the sooner the better.

I love this hack so much and sounds like it's just going to get better.
