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.

Maybe I missed it here somewhere.......but I have set Usergroup permissions to not allow anyone to create new rooms, but they still can. Any suggestions here?

Interesting.

For I.E. Users

Uninstall the Plugin
Make sure ALL Templates are REMOVED.
Reinstall the plugin.

Now it works in I.E.

I even logged out and killed my cache and cookies, and I am still able to get in and chat with I.E.

If I can figure out the pruning, I'll let you know.

Seems that the Auto Prune setting does not like 0.5 days, guess it only accepts whole numbers. Would be nice to be able to auto prune every 30 minutes or so.

I just installed this and will try it for a day or so. It REALLY needs a "Who is Chatting" feature. If it works, I have no problem at all purchasing the pro version but that one seems to be lacking some features also. Any plans to add it?

Thanks

hmmm strange one this,

im having the same problem a s a few others with IE7

type in the box hit chat and nothing BUT if I resize the window or something like that the text appears

very strange

[katie hunter]

How can I prune without wating a day to prune ?

[KidCharlemane]

So whats the status on this hack? It appears to be stalled as there have been no updates in several weeks and there are some glaring bugs. Even the paid version of the hack has not been updated.

Just installed 3.0.1. Issues i found:

1: Scroll bar keeps jumping up and down. Very annoying! No matter what I do it won't stop.
2: Sometimes I have to type a smiley in order to see the chat window.

Anyone knows a solution to these?
