Forumotion chat in smf

[BreakHero]

Greetings, sorry if this post should not be here.

I need to emulate the Forumotion chat using either a mod or copying and editing the code to add it to my smf forum.. Any idea?

Thank you.

SMF 2.0.4

If you're asking how to emulate a mod, then the second link in my signature will probably help you out.

If you already know how to emulate a mod, but you're having problems emulating this particular mod, then you're probably best off asking for help in that particular mod's support topic.

sorry for the misunderstanding, I should write a little better my question. There is no mod for it, at least I can not find it, I want to do is put a kind of Forumotion chat on my forum. just that.

This is forumotion: hxxp:www.forumotion.com/ [nonactive]
and this is his chat: hxxp:i38.tinypic.com/m61xv.jpg [nonactive]

I looked around that site and found a few chat wotsits. But, they were all for their own forum system (Understandably). What I DID find, though, were some references to AvacWeb chat, which is this:

http://www.avacweb.com/f15-avacweb-chat

There're instructions on how to install it, here:

In a nutshell, you want to create a javascript file, like this:

Code Select Expand

var avacweb_chat_config = {
   version : '1-8',
   new_chat_title : 'AvacWeb Chatbox',
   auto_log_in : 'open',
   archives : 1,
   sound_file : 'http://www.freesfx.co.uk/rx2/mp3s/2/1305_1256857800.mp3',
   stylesheet : 'http://chat.avacweb.net/avacweb_chat.css',
   disable_timeout : 0,
   allow_private_messaging : 1,
   allow_user_resize : 1,
   commands : {},
   can_open_tabs : [1], //user ids of users who can open new tabs.
   tabs : {},
   allow_copyrights : 1, //please be kind and allow AWC to place small discreet copyrights and backlink on your forum.

   // DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING BELOW
   message_hook:[],user_hook:[],events:{},add_event:function(t,f) {t=/^on/.test(t)?t:'on'+t;t in this.events?this.events[t].push(f):this.events[t]=[f]}};
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://chat.avacweb.net/v' + avacweb_chat_config.version + '.js" id="achat_script"></script>');

Put that file on your site and call it from whichever file, in SMF, that you want it to display on.

Sounds like a nightmare, to me!

Why not look at one of these?

Was going to suggest one of those as well

Alternatively, something like Simpleportal has a chat module built in which also works well.

Bear in mind that chat type mods can put a strain on available resources, consequently they can slow (or even kill) your site if you are on a restrictive shared hosting package.

One thing to be aware of, whilst I think about it.

If you have a chat thingy, your bandwidth might go a bit mental. Especially if it's a "Real Time" chat thingy.

If it does that, expect a message from your host. Probably, a message demanding cash.
