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.

Same in greek. I had tried the demo in earlier versions and the greek characters showed up correctly.

[eXtremeTim]

Can somebody confirm if i fixed this problem on my demo site (the characters problem)

[physi]

Nope, greek characters in your demo site still appear like this: %u03B1 (this is the greek a, alpha).

After I installed this new 2.90 version, the chat frame turned messed up as well as the online people list on the right. Maybe it has something to do with the window turning into the whole site and not small anymore.

It's fixed, read previous postings...

Hmm, installed and working perfectly, except for PMs. They don't seem to be doing anything when I click them.

Hello and greetings from Portugal.

I've installed V2.9 nd yes it is much more faster and smooter.

I've found a small problem with the Portuguese, i.e., if i typs let's say Ol? ( meens hello ) it does not post and if you try again it says Post in Progress.

Wath could that be ?

Sorry for any bad english...

KK

Edited just to say that previous versions did accept Portuguese characters

How many Queries does this vBchat take why chatting? I mean per entering a message. Thank you for this hack, very cool!

Here is another problem...this popup "vBChat.php?&do=exit" keeps displaying and then auto-closing then displaying....very annoying.
