[goosemoose]

http://216.117.204.226/integratedchat2_151.zip
The new version of the mod works with 1.5.1 , and 1.5.0.

I've been working long and hard, and here it is. Version 2.0! I don't think there are any bugs, and it works with BoardMod. Let me know if you have a successfull instal so I can take it out of beta.

New Features:

- Added Settings in Admin Panel:
   -Change Room Name
   -Change Room Password
   -Change Appended Name
   -Turn Rooms List On/Off
   -Select Chat Language
   -Change Chat Applet Width
   -Change Chat Applet Height
 
- Chat applet now compatible with all browsers (works better with netscape).

- Added a button to float the chat applet.

- Chat button automatically switches to text with the rest of the menu,

- New script to display list of users, faster and lists          users even in hidden rooms.

- New script to list number of users, faster and works in hidden rooms.

- Fixed problem with usernames with . _ or spaces in their name (credit to bananaman)

Installation instructions included with mod. READ THEM. If you are running another version you will need to uninstall it first!

Once you install the mod MAKE SURE TO REGISTER YOUR CHAT ROOM! Do this by double clicking on the chat room once you have logged in. You also need to register your name by double clicking on your name.

I'm sure I'm missing a few things, If you notice any let me know.

Please let us know if it installed okay!

If you need this for another version of YaBB let me know.

If we already registered.. do we have to register again? and what ever happend to the voice chat portion? Thanks.

I'm going to try this, but I have one question :

why didn't you use the xxxx.lng files more to make it easier to translate ? You put text hardcoded in Modsettings.php for instance, and you should try to avoid that.

But that is just a little observation, I really like the work you did, and can't wait to try it (I'm at work, so I haven't got the time to test it).

Nice job

You dont have to to register again, and I am still working on the voice part.  The voice server needs some work.

Most likely because the translation is based on my chat applet not Yabbse overall language scheme.

Thanks for the feedback though and let us know if you need anything.

Well, maybe you could replace the hardcoded parts bij $chatmod[1] or somethinh like that,  and we all could supply you the translations ?  I could do the Dutch translation, and so on ?  

Well, I'm not going to test it today unfortunately, because of Valentinesday...... my wife has a surprise for me, so no YaBBSE tonight

There is already a dutch translation provided of the chat interface. The thing is this chat runs off a seperate service and requires the translation to reside there not in the yabb board.  Some yabb user have provided me with translation already. English, Dutch,Spanish,German,Turkish,Nepali,Greek.

if anyone is interested in translating into another language email me brodle@everywherechat.com

Hi Webby,
  I did use $chat variables in the new mod, not hard coded.

goose we may want to add an option to make the chat popup in another window rather then a whole browser page.
I beleive someone already gave sample code

I had to make some corrections to the code in the ModSettings.php portion of the patch... variables were not being read correctly to fill in the current values for all the settings.

Mod works great, only problem is EasyChat (the IRC host this all ties in with) doesn't work properly on non-windows platforms.  The usual MS-specific Java problems I'm assuming.
