[blunted]

I really love this mod but have an issue, it for some breaks ssl in both firefox and opera.

ie and chrome it does not.

any possible solution?

I'd hate to have to give up the mod as its great, but it breaks my sites ssl

Hi there,
I added this amazing function to my forum a few months ago but had to disable it.

Basically, I am based in Japan and all of my users are school teachers here. For some of them, when chat was enabled it locked them out of the forum. The error messages are all in Japanese but there always seemed to be some sort of connection error. They were all able to use the forum before chat was enabled.

The computers they use vary from nice new ones to really old ones running windows 2000. The network firewalls all vary and because of this, I have no idea how up-to-date their browsers, java, flash etc are. The only consistent thing is a connection error.

Do you have any ideas how to fix this?

thank for sharing

[freddosensei]

an update on my situation.

For some users, when chat is enabled they can access my forum with no issues and the chat bar is present. However, if I start a chat with them, nothing appears. Would this be a Java issue on their computer? Or a flash issue?

[SA™]

this mod dont use java ot flash  maybe the users who have trouble need to clear there brouser cache ?

Hello,

We just transferred over to a new server and have found the chat bar not working anymore. We had never had any issues with it before the move and I must say our members really love it! I have tried to install the latest version and still have nothing showing up. Any ideas?

This mod rocks i just installed it in my forum i am creating but got a few questions.

I am unsure where but could you tell me the correct file which i can edit the colors as blue doesn't really fit with my website

Is it possible to add custom buttons that take you to places such as a button to go to profile ?

Thanks again for this rocking mod

[electricwildflower]

It's cool i figured it out i just needed to edit sachat/themes/default/style.css and Regarding links was as easy as go to forums and admin then click SA Chat and find links button

Only problem was adding custom icons which i figured out in the end they needed to be 20x20 and the url to them was as easy as adding the custom icons in themes/default/images and then pointing to them.

Thanks for this very cool mod i know once my forums are up and running i will get alot of happy people

[SA™]

Sachat/themes/yourtheme is were the themes are you create a copy of the defult theme in sachat admin and modify ot to your needs

Yea U can add custom links in sa chat admin aswell



Cool glad U sorted it

[electricwildflower]

I have another Question.

Would it be possible to swap the buttons and the who is online around IE buttons on left who is online on right ?

[winsoft]

i will give it a try, thanks.

Hey SA I have a question for you. I have been using chat bar for awhile now and I recently switched hosting and moved my SMF forum with chat bar over. Now SA chat bar still appears as installed and is in the admin panel, but the bar itself will not show up on the site. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with different versions as well. I also tried to CHMOD everytime.

Could there be a problem with maybe another mod pacakage I have installed that won't allow chat bar to function?

[SA™]

did yopu try reinstalling ? can i have a link to t your site?

[valtergomes]

Hey SA,

first of all, Grats for such great mod!
But.. I'm having some issues.

I've installed the version RC2 from the github, and I can see the bar, I can see who's online, but when I click to chat with someone.. It just doesn't open the window and closes the "Who's Online" window..

Do you know what's causing this?

Cheers!

Hello,
I've got a problem with this mod.
It installed correctly, but there is nothing happening.
I've made a test forum instalation - problem is the same.

CHMOD is changed (755), but bar is not displayed.

As you can see:

Code Select Expand

http://airweia.home.pl/test/ - no chat bar

but

Code Select Expand

http://airweia.home.pl/test/sachat/index.php gives:

Code Select Expand

{"STATUS":"ACTIVE"}

and on e.g.

Code Select Expand

http://airweia.home.pl/test/sachat/index.php?action=body&theme=default
gives a lot of (I suppose - working) code.

What may be wrong?
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks a lot for a help!

Got a couple of Questions for you and some ideas.

Will there be any new features in the future ?
Will this be officially updated to support 2.0.3 as in it shows on the mod page compatible with 2.0.3 ?

Note!!! it works like a dream on my current 2.0.3 installation i updated my test forum from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 and sa chat bar carried on working although not tested installing it straight to 2.0.3

Few ideas that would be cool but there just ideas so see what you think.

how about a drop down menu or it might be a drop up menu of the forums categories such as you open the menu pick general category and it will take you to that part of the forum. Although not sure if it would be easy to implement due to every different SMF forum has different categories.

this would be cool for me and my members and can be easy to navigate

Who's online username clickable - not sure if it's already implemented or i carn't use it but how about having the who's online usernames clickable such as i could click a username and it would take me to there profile ?

Popup settings button - how about a settings button when click it opens up a box like the chat box does and you can edit your settings such as you could mute, change language permanently and anything else ?

I know you can do it in admin panel on the forum but this would be cool for a few settings you just want to edit quickly ?

Will there be any new features in the future ?

maybe a few things

Will this be officially updated to support 2.0.3 as in it shows on the mod page compatible with 2.0.3 ?

this mod will work on 2.0.3 already but i can update the mod page

Who's online username clickable - not sure if it's already implemented or i carn't use it but how about having the who's online usernames clickable such as i could click a username and it would take me to there profile ?

that is already used to open the chat window? or am i misunderstanding?

[electricwildflower]

I think i might of confused my self on the last question.

when you click a username it opens up a chatbox but what about an option to view there profile when the chatbox is open as the little image besides the persons username does nothing.

[SA™]

oh i see what you mean now you could modify the template to do this your self quit easy
