Chatbox

[Cookie]

Chatbox on teh forumz pleeeeeeeeez ,So den I wouldn't have to make useless topics like dis and spam ;_;

[SpeedWing]

agreed, it would be a good idea, members could communicate via an other way than just posting.

[L. Spiro]

Find someone who can code it.

Beta phbb shoutbox.
If it's asking u to run the query

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE phpbb_chat CHANGE bbcode_uid bbcode_uid varchar(8) NOT NULL default '';

Then use 110dbmanager, just open it up, login, select the database and paste that code in the large text box. If you don't have it, then create a PHP page with this:

Code: Select all

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","<DATABASE USER>","<PASSWORD>");
mysql_select_db("<DATABASE NAME>");
mysql_query(" ALTER TABLE phpbb_chat CHANGE bbcode_uid bbcode_uid varchar(8) NOT NULL default ''; ");
?>

Most of this info is over google.

edit the template html files and create a div for the chatbox
maybe increase the margin right of every div
then create a new div
size it
set it to absolute positioning
control its margin and padding
in the div, put the shoutbox
just hack the css
it's hard work

[L. Spiro]

Wouldn't it be easier to just run an IRC channel?

first
tell me how to configure bloody pidgin to run IRC
i can only use Quassel
which means that i can't chat IRC in windows
u have to create a subdomain and open another port
...
i'd rather hack the HTML and CSS and attach a cbox

edit:
u borrow a channel from freenode.net?

editedit:
i mean register
like
irc.freenode.net:6667#mhs

[L. Spiro]

I am not talking about setting up an IRC server. Just a channel.

irc.tribalwar.com:6667#MHS


Official channel of MHS.
I will idle there when I am able.


L. Spiro

[qjqqyy]

but what we want is to chat and access the forum at the same time
u expect us to browse mhs on firefox and run pidgin IRC at the same time
multitasking is bad

~~~~:6667#mhs
remember not to include HTTP://
