What is it?: An addon for using RaiderSoft chat (
www.sigmasoft.com).
Why should I care?: The chat script is free (for basic service) and this mod uses your Threads user data base, so someone has to be registered to use the chat from your site. A word of caution: With the free chat there is no way to control user accounts, and therefore no way to pass user name info from my script to your chat. So, if someone knows the url of your chat room, they can log in and chat...
Who gets the props?: Me
But with all the help I've received here I have to give a nod to JustDave, JoshPet, and Dave_L.
How do I use it?:
1) Copy rchat.php and chatpopup.php script to your ubbthreads directory.
2) Edit the rchat.php file to replace "Your chat title here" with whatever you want to call your chat page (remember to leave in the quotes). Follow the directions in the rchat.tmpl file (you'll need some applet script from
www.sigmachat.com). Copy the rchat.tmpl file to your ubbthreads/templates/default/ directory.
3) Add
$ubbt_lang['jchat'] = "In the Chat Room";
to the online.php file in all of your language directories.
Enjoy
Version 1.1 Props to JoshPet for the popup script that updates Who's Online
