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.

uninstalled and bought flashchat.

Anyupdates on why we would be getting:

"Sorry, but the administrator has disabled your usergroups access to the chat."

I have checked the database and the it's creating:

ewt_chat_msgs

is that correct?

[theOZer]

Referring to my Post #397.
In Reply to Coux, post #400: "Thx for your reply."
I got EWT Chat to work, once usergroup access was turned on.
This should be added to the install instructions.
"Must enable EWT Chat for each usergroup you want Chat accessible to.
In ACP/Usergroups/Manage Usergroups, by selected usergroup, Edit, go to bottom, there's a new untitled "Chat" section, turn on/off applicable options."

[theOZer]

I was wrong. Got EWT Chat window to "show up," but, nothing I type in is being displayed in the chat room. What other step(s) have I missed?

[RonanHayes]

Cheers for that, it works well for me now, just need to figure out the mini chatbox.

Basically I didn't go fancy and create any rooms.

[3dsoft]

How are we able to display theses characters right "ö" "ü" "ä"?

[owlbill]

Is it just me, or is there no "Prune Now" feature. I have chat text that is over a week old sitting in my room. The "auto pruning" does not seem to function.

Yes I am having the same problem

[Wais]

There are no Smilies.

[owlbill]

The smilies from the forum function, just need to type in the keyboard code for them.
