I want to add chat option to my site

[Ibexy]

How do I add a chat room to my site. I have heard about flashchat and seen it on some websites. I'd like to have it too. How do I get flashchat or any other good chat software?

tufat.com have the flash chat for 5$

SMF Chat are a mod to SMF and that you find at simplemachine.org.
Also every thing about installing those 2 you find at simplemachines.org

Tufat also offer a chat called "Desktop Skin for Tufat"
I got it the other day, its really good, adds a ZING to flash chat :up:

SMF chat won't install correctly (already asked there for support. Tried to install the RC3 version with TP .96 and RC3 SMF:

11.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/index.template.php     Test failed

... until this may be solved: Does anyone have a recommendation for another chat?

Only SMF chat or Flash Chat, but i know that SMF chat works great on SMF 1.1.1 and TP v.097, so why not just update the forum and try again ?

You could check in cpanel and see if you have the option to set one up.In mine I set up a phpchat.It was easy todo but members have to register to use it.Hope this helps.

There is a new chat for smf.. and it dont run on your server so no heavy server load.. check it out at: http://www.userplane.com/support/downloads/webchat/index.cfm?gclid=CKWYyZSV2IkCFSoMQgodmj69-A

@G6
I will update to SMF 1.1.1 and latest TP some time soon, there were some reasons why i didn't do it right on the spot (missing addons fopr SMF i think)...

@knat
Thanks, but I would prefere something I don't have to register seperately, keep track of seperately and update seperately... SMF+TP+All the Plugins is just about the workload i can do without neglecting my project itself...


Guess I will have to use the Shoutbox instead (limited to registered members to prevent abuse). How do i set it to show more then 5 shouts and have the input box on top of the chat?

How do i set it to show more then 5 shouts?

Admin/TinyPortal/Blockmanager/Shoutbox

Thanks, found it...

A minor thing missing there: If you click the name of the shoutbox it expands, but it looses the "show last 50 shouts" link...

And how do i get the input box to be on top?

Does anyone know MKPortal? It suckes biugtime because alle the variables were in italian, but it had a nice IRC chat client thingy as part of the portal...
