Instant Messaging

ok I wasnt too sure where to place this as its not classed as a hack but its not really a template mod either...

anyway the way it works is by using the JPilot Chatroom...you split the forum page into 2 frames, one of the frames is hidden and loads the chatroom...then you add a IM link next to the usersname anywhere on the board and when its clicked it will open up the JPilot Chatroom IM Box!

create a template called chatmain

place your JPilot Chatroom code in there, make sure it auto logs in and uses the members username!

now upload the 2 files to your forum folder, and use index.htm to access your forum for this to work

also 1 template needs to be changed see the readme file!

heres a screenshot, to test its working IM yourself...

[Bald Bouncer]

change your forumhome_loggedinuser template to this

PHP Code:

<img src="{imagesfolder}/im.bmp" onClick="parent.chat.document.jchat.processJInput( '/msg $username Hello' )"></a> 

to have an IM in there

add this to your postbit online template to have an IM in there

PHP Code:

<img src="{imagesfolder}/im.bmp" onClick="parent.chat.document.jchat.processJInput( '/msg $post[username] Hello' )"></a>
