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!

Everybody having issues please go to our site and start a thread or open a support ticket, so we can help you all on an individual basis. Theres just to much going on in this thread for us to effectively keep track of all the problems to make sure we fix everything.

Support isn't bad we just don't have time to monitor this thread every hour, but we monitor our sites frequently and have helped quite a few people who have done things the way we asked and opened support tickets.

The reason it doesnt remove the 5 tables is for people to be able to upgrade from lite to pro without losing all their data. It wasn't an accident they were left, that was done on purpose to avoid issues with upgrading from lite to pro.

You are experiencing a bug that we are working to fix but not many people have gone to our site and opened a support ticket so we can test patches on your server to get it working, as with all the different server configurations out there we have to make some specific patches for some of them to fix issues. Once we fix them and build them into the release then there will be less issues for everybody. As most the people not getting the messages without reloading are suffering from a similar bug that we have already fixed on a few sites but we need more to test it on to make sure the fix is enough or if we need even more work arounds to fix server configuration conflicts.

Please go to our site open a support ticket and provide the charset you are using as well as some sample words to test with, as we don't speak other languages so without data to test with we can't fix the charset issues to make sure that all languages work perfectly.

any solution?
You are suffering a bug with the stream that is happening to several servers due to buffering issues most likely. If you would go to our site and open a support ticket and provide an admin account and ftp, we will test the current patch we have on your site to get things working, and if that patch isn't enough we will figure out what the problem is and make a patch for your setup and build it into the next release.

The 503 errors are most likely being created by your server being overloaded, I would suggest setting the time settings to higher values to decrease the load put on the server.

Whats wrong??



Thanks for your help
I will take a look at that and get a fix made as the problem is that we used some query tricks that aren't supported by older version of mysql. So if you would go to our site open a ticket and give us an admin account and ftp we can test some new queries on your server to get it working with older versions of mysql.

The chat looks great, it doesn't seem to be working for me though! I've uploaded all of the files and i've imported the two products. Nothing shows up though? :S

Installed on 4.1.5 PL1, works as it should with no problems at all.
Considering buying the full version if the members want it.

Thanks, and nice work!
