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.

This hack is very good! Thank you very much. :up:

I have to questions:

1. How can I turn these phrases "user enters the room" and "user leaves the room" off?

2. Right under "Users Chatting" is gradient_tcat, which is black, and text is also black. How can I change it to gradient_thead, which is grey?


Thank you in advance, and keep up the good work!

I am planning to remove them in the upcoming 2.9.2 because of issues in the current manor for how they work.

Thank you for the answer.

What can I do with my other problem? It is black text on the black background.

I actually don't have a problem with the idea of programmers putting (obvious) ads in a mod and paying to not see them (as long as they are not hidden, its standard practice for lots of internet forums and stuff).

however, this is correct:

You are at risk of getting your adsense banned from google. And believe me, they are better than you think at find out this stuff. and its very much a pain in the arse to get it back.

that said, it IS possible that this puts people who INSTALL and USE your mod at risk of Google TOS violation as well...like if they already have Adsense on their site and this puts them over the limit. That is clearly unfair. I mean one thing to add it to your mod for donation incentives (again, which I think is fine), but its another thing for it to put users at risk).

its your gamble, but I recommend finding another Ad network for your mod... there are plenty out there, and in fact, some of the other ones pay out a lot better anyway.

ps. I've been in internet ad industry for years. but you don't have to believe me, check out from other sources yourself.

I am planning to replace the google ads soon. They were just a temp solution on a ad account I havent been using the last year.

good to hear. great mod btw.

also, do we have reupload the files for the upgrade? or is just reimporting the product (overwrite) good enough?

[eXtremeTim]

Yes, overwrite the existing XML product file with the new one and replace all the new files via FTP.
