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.

You need custom WOL location too.

[Snake]

Why's that? Are you saying it doesn't show up whether you're in the chat room or not while viewing the online list?

[Dream]

Yeah Who's Online shows unknown location.

Also adding WOL support would be useful if someone wants to release a "who's chatting" mod.

[Snake]

Alright, I'll take a note about that and fix it. I'm not sure about the "Who's Chatting" feature but I'll mention that to Tim. It's all up to him, you know.

[Dream]

No problem. I'm not asking for a "who's chatting" feature, I might do it myself.

The install.txt file has some issues, it says "Step 4" when there are no steps 3/2/1, also it doesn't say that you have to upload the files, just a heads up, you'll get support questions on that in no time.

Ok got it installed backend seems to work but when I got to the URL I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/stuntusa/public_html/forums/vBChat.php on line 224

You can also see the error here http://www.stuntusa.com/forums/vBChat.php?

I must have missed something simple as I have installed lots of mods, any ideas what I might have missed?

Are you sure that you uploaded all the new files?

Whos chatting will be coming soon. Right now I didnt spend the time to make it since I am going to release it as an addon for those who wish to use it.

Html parsing was fixed before the hack was ever released. The bbcode and smilies is my bad I forgot to setup the new bbcode parser stuff for 3.6.

amazing job!

The easiest hack I've ever installed ... *CLICKS INSTALL* I think I am going to like vB3 a lot more then vB2. One quick question though.

How do I delete "Default Room" ? I can't find an option to do so. Or How I edit it's name?

I couldn't find it in the admincp or the main options.

Thanks again for the amazing hack.

Edit: I was also wondering if you could tell me how to make it so I can restrict each room to different user groups? It doesn't have to be coded amazingly. Just a basic way of doing it. (I don't need it as an option on the user groups, if I could just put it in the hard code that would work.)

Ok so I noticed on the demo site that you have the shoutbox installed and the chat? I assume that is ok having both installed at the same time? I hope it is I'm downloading this and waiting for a reply to install....

Thanks
