Hi

I used to have chat mod before I upgraded to RC2.  that one had settings to configure via admin panel.  I downloaded this one yesterday and it installed ok, but I dont see any 'chat' option in the admin panel, should there be one?

Example I was able to set member name extensions and name my room that way

thanks for your help

perplexed, though it is extremely user-friendly to have chat options added via SMF's admin panel, it does have it's downsides.  For one, adding chat settings via the SMF admin panel eliminates mod compatibility with other versions of SMF.  Because the admin panel is not modified by my mod, it becomes fully compatible with all versions of SMF, version 1.1 RC2 and higher.  I hope this clears things up for you :).

thanks :)  it seems to be working now, thanks for the info... the only problem is that a lot of people dont have java installed or arent able to due to restrictions on work computers etc, but I cant do anything about that

~thanks again

It's in Chat.template.php.  It joins the channel on connecting to the server by default.

Can this work with 1.0.6?

With some tinkering around with, yes.  I highly recommend you upgrade to SMF 1.1 regardless of whether or not my mod is compatible with 1.0.

Hi, I use SMF 1.1 RC2 and Classic YaBB SE theme. When I was trying to install this mod I got  a message that I had to CHMOD files via ftp. I have not installed ftp on my server and I really dont want to. Do you know what files I have to chmod to 777 to get this mod installed via package manager? I can do this manually as I run the forums on my own webserver.

Although you should CHMOD all SMF files to 777, you can simply CHMOD the files that are affected by this mod.  Even so, it would just be easier to CHMOD every file.

I saw a discussion about chmod all files to 777, if I do that, should I let them stay to 777 forever? I cant see how this is no security risc.
How do I find out which files that are affected by this mod?

To make things simple, just CHMOD everything.

Why chmod 777 is NOT a security risk

That was answered a few posts up.  I purposely made this mod only compatible with SMF 1.1 RC2 and above because I want people to upgrade.  Think of it as a bribe ;).

This is truly awesome. Using it now. Thanks! :)
Just one question: wheres the irc server on which this runs based?
can i run an irc server?

secondly am i allowed to remove the simple machines logo ?
cuz i dont want anything to be in the chat window
i prefer a plain background .

Dannii

The default is villageirc AFAIK. It can connect to any server. You could run one, but I think you personally would have difficultly installing one.

Btw, there's a thumbs.db

Oh, I had no idea :P.  Thanks for reporting that :).

and what abt that logo ?

Which logo?  The SMF one?  Check Chat.template.php if you feel the need to remove it.

When I installed this mod I ended up with 2 chat buttons on the top of the forum. What's up with that and how do I get rid of it. I tried uninstalling the mod and the package refuses to uninstall. I tried manually deleting it from my server and I am getting a permissions error. No matter what I do I can't get rid of it. Please help. Thanks!
