i need a chat mod.

[resurgence]

i would like to install a chat mod that was on the SMF boards, but i recall someone having problems with it when used with TP.

any suggestions on what i should do?

and i may need help installing this. (buttons and such)

edit: upon seeing where the button generator is now, is there anyway i can just put the chat mod in a window like that one?

Yes, you can. I just used a phpblock with a echo statement and a iframe tag. I assume the update of the chat will work too, since its just a frame. In any case it shouldn't disrupt TP/SMF.

something i'd like to suggest:
http://www.userplane.com
there is a sweet chat program there which hosted by their own servers. has audio/video capability, and opens in a pop-up after you click the link in your forum. i am pretty sure you can't do it in a block, but it is nevertheless an excellent mod. if you come up with a chat bloc that works better, post it for us please?

Yes, you can. I just used a phpblock with a echo statement and a iframe tag. I assume the update of the chat will work too, since its just a frame. In any case it shouldn't disrupt TP/SMF.

but how did you make it appear in its own page?

Point the include inside an iframe. Or you can target a link to an iframe.

The button-generator/your chat would function on its own... mine still do. By adding a <iframe src="path_to_chat"> the chat will appear inside that , and refresh JUST the iframe, not the whole page. Good for a chat script.

ah i see.

i'm still wondering how the button generator appear in it's own page.

the button generator's address is: http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?page=13

i just wanted to know how to do that since the TP blocks are still on the left and the generator just took over the place where the forum is supposed to be.

This is how you get the window to open up a new one.
target ="_blank"
