Mod Name / Version: Popup Free Integrated Chat Room 1.0
Description: This integrates a java based chatroom (like JPilot or RaiderSoft)
with your UBB.Threads, and updates the who's online information WITHOUT the use of a pop up window (as my other mod used). This uses a page with iFrames - in which the header refreshes every 9 minutes (before the user drops off who's online).
Features: - Uses a Template for the Chatroom
- Allows the option for a link if their browser does not support iFrames
- Allows you to limit chat to Registered Users only if you wish
- Allows you to temporarily "close" the chatroom
- Automatically fills in their Forum Username as their Chat Nickname.
Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.2-6.3
Mod Status: Beta
Any pre-requisites: JPilot, RaiderSoft Chat or similar

Files Altered: ubbt.inc.php, /templates/default/ubbt_registerednav.tmpl, ubbt_unregisterednav.tmpl, /languages/english/online.php
New Files: chat.php, chatheader.php, chatroom.php, /templates/default/chat.tmpl
Database Altered: none
Info/Instructions: Typical Chat Integrations allow you to drop off of the who's online screen after 10 minutes, as you are no longer refreshing a page. This uses iFrames and refreshes the header every 9 minutes, keeping the who's online status accurate of who is in the chat room.
A free (or paid) Raidersoft Chatroom can be obtained at
www.RaiderSoft.com. JPilot may be purchased from
www.jpilot.com. This is tested under UBB.Threads 6.3, but I believe it will work for 6.2 as well.

If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.
Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
