Installation/Upgrade
See included readme file.

Demo
You can see a demo here (You can can register a new account, or use the Login, "Ideal Chat Demo", and password, "chatdemo") This demo is of the pro version which can be found here!

Support
This modification is released for free, and as such we don't officially support it; however, as time permits we will try to offer support on it. We will NOT be monitoring this thread on a daily basis, your best bet for a fast reply would be to go post here.

Common Issues/Topics
Chat Bar Don't Show Up?
Have you configured the usergroup settings? This is the most common issue we see, and 99% of the time it is due to usergroup settings not being configured properly. So if your bar is not showing up, please verify your usergroup settings before reporting it as an issue.

Messages Don't Show Up?
We are aware of an issue causing messages to not show up for some people, and are looking into fixes.

Modification Has Conflict With Another Product
There is always a chance that two products will conflict with each other! We are aware of some, but please feel free to tell us about any products you find to conflict via our Bug Tracker on our site.

Chat Doesn't Support Certain Characters
The chat can only support the characters your board itself can support! If you would like to support certain characters, you must have your board using a charset that supports them. We have only ever once noticed a chat that didn't support every character the board did, and we are looking in it.

Chat Kills My Server
We have tested the chat extensively for server friendliness, and have found it to be very gentle on servers. We have seen the script run with hundreds of active users without putting hardly any load on the server. However, an improperly configured server may result in any reverse-AJAX/push-AJAX/Comet based chat script killing the server. If you find that your server slows down after installation, you may want to talk with your host about raising your MySQL and Apache Max Connection Limits to a more appropriate amount!

How is the Version off 3.8.x ??

Maybe I'm just not knowledgeable enough about MySQL tuning, but this mod - as much as I love it - absolutely kills my VPS. It brings the server to a crawl even when I've only enabled it for 2-5 people. This is probably my fault but I thought I'd chime in anyhow, I thought it seemed like a very polished mod otherwise and would definitely invest in the pro version if I didn't have this problem.

I am going to guess you have one of the cheaper VPS with limited memory available, or else they are throttling your cpu usage.

yeah its killing my server to, messages take to long after clicking enter, and i only got low traffic. Removed.

Comet chat doesn't have as much lag as this.

Currently the chat does not show on the CMS pages because the hooks needed to make it show no longer get ran on the CMS pages. We are looking into a fix for it, and will let everyone know when it is found.

We had originally planned to release a new version yesterday; however, one of the main developers had to stay overnight in the hospital after a car accident.

You can expect the new version to be released soon!

Hope you all enjoy the updated 1.2.0 release which fixes many bugs and adds several new features. We will see about writing up more about whats new in it later but right now we are calling it a night.

Everybody who was having issues with the messages not showing up before please let us know if you still have that problem as it should be fixed! (also let us know if its still broken for you)

leave it to bea · #**220** 08-19-2011, 03:32 AM
