AjaxChat Integration (latest version 3.2.1)
ron351:
I installed this and the ajax chat but don't seem to see how to get a link to the chat to become available.
I have added the lines to the boardindex template and boardindex and language file.
I do see where it says at the bottom of the forum that no one is in chat.
But how in the world do I get something easy for my users to enter the ajax chat?
I am using a theme by Nesianstyles called Blackday which I don't think would make a difference.
Any suggestions on what to do to get this chat going easily for my users?
I tink it is a super mod if I can get it to run from my forum.
I have 1.15 version.
Thanks Ron

I installed ajaxchat and then this mod. I put a link in the Global Headers and Footers mod (in the footer) to make the link available on any page. I absolutely love this one. Top notch and well integrated with SMF. A+(infinity)

I don’t want to pour cold water on anybody’s Mod as I am of the opinion that if Modders go to the effort of putting it together they deserve a lot of praise, so great work Shahriar!
Just throwing my opinion into the mix; my recent post on the various “Chat Mods” have all been related to servers and loads that any server side chat brings to bear on your server.
This is a quote straight from the ajax-chat wiki “If you want to have a real chat server you should go for IRC or Jabber.”
Just to advise anyone who may want to have a 'sizeable chat' on their site that you need to be looking into these as opposed to ‘hosting your own chat’
The limitations are in and around ~50 concurrent users for most shared servers although with the ajax-chat there is the means to increase the ‘live chat’ delay, so these bounds can in theory at least be extended.
It's all good right?

Thank you so much I have tried to figure this out for days. Finally a mod for it. Thank you.
I am having one problem I’m using a different theme and I got it working but on my index page it shows the user in chat and how many it just doesn’t show the words (user in chat)

I fixed it in the manual instructions it hast to change --------Modifications.english.php
But my board is using a file labeled -------Modifications.english-utf8.php
Thanks again for this mod
