Hi and April Fools to you all.  8)

I have a new chat, designed similar to a weight-loss forum, that went down due to finances, so I am hosting it, temporarily until the old site can get back on it's feet. One of the members suggested a Chat room, and I have done this experimentally on my website before. I think this is a great idea! And even more I saw 'Integrated Chat Mod' on Simple Machines and also 123 Flash Chat. I like the 'Integrated Chat Mod' as it looks like I could log in MIRC or on my Droid app.

I am using SMF 2.0.2 and good at doing edits on FTP, but if there is a package that can do the install manually would prefer. And I assume this is free, no server charges for the chat? I have a really great budget which is 'time and my wonderful wife' and zero cash!

I would suggest ajax chat integration version 3.2.2 which can be found within the mods pages.

Various edits can be added to it such as a word filter, welcome etc.

Thanks. My left side column with the navigation somehow doesn't show, I am not sure where the mods pages are?

Go to the top of the main page and look at the Customize link. That is where you will find the mods.

Thanks, I have been busy getting our new site running, and have found the mods section. That sounds like it will be good. I found version 3.2.1.   :)

Version 3.2.1 will NOT work which is why I said 3.2.2

I also said to look through the mods pages for the current version.

I have searched for 3.2.2 and not one item shown on smf. I saw on Google, a site with 3.2.2 and they offer a free trial. But as I said I am doing this as a favor for a group, that is trying to get it's feet back up, and I am on the cheap, by offering them free hosting, since I have plenty to spare, and it is just my wife and my time, which is considerable right now.  8)

Old Fossil, Do you have a copy of 3.2.2?

Thanks, I have downloaded it, and am backing up the files, and then saving the databases, before trying an install!

bdtcomp

Well the message I got after trying to install, was that it failed or was corrupt for the version I had, 2.0.2. I guess I will have to wait!

Use the Mod Emulate link in my signature.

I printed your instructions and am thinking I should put the forum in maintenance mode while I try this. Thanks!

I am going to give up for the night. I got this message,

Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.


I will check to see whether I need to reinstall the files, I hope not. But it might work but I don't want to be up all night with this. Thanks, and maybe I will get this to work eventually!  8)

I'm using Blab! I tried out a few including the mod and it was by far the best.

I didn't integrate it, but what I did was put in a custom menu button (via the new menu editor mod) and a block in SimplePortal with the number of chatters:
Quote<script type="text/javascript" src="chat/online.php"></script> chatters are now online.</ br>
<script type="text/javascript" src="chat/online.php?mode=1"></script></ br></ br>

<a href="http://www.technochicks.net/forum/chat/blab.php">Go to the chat room</a>

Thanks Ishy, I may try this!  :)
