If desired, it can integrate nicely with your forum software and database to use existing user accounts. The great thing about all of this is that nobody is required to download client software or need anything other than their browser and enabled Javascript. It has many usability benefits that other free chat solutions like IRC or Java based clients simply can't provide, making Chatspot a great choice for chatting software.</p> <p>Chatspot relies solely on HTML, Javascript and PHP in order to be as portable to as many client platforms as possible, so that 99% of all your forum users should be able to use Chatspot with no problems whatsoever. Users will not need to install any clients or type in anything - they just need to simply click the "Join Chat" link placed on your site or forum.</p> <p>If you have any questions please email Demerzel <a href="mailto:techboy@users.sourceforge.net">here</a>.</p> <h1>How to Install This Revision</h1> <p>First things first, copy the files to the right place - i.e. a directory called "chatspot" within your forum. After that's done you'll need that database schema executed. Use phpMyAdmin or whatever tool you favour to run chatspot.sql. run it in the same database as the forum you'll be bridging to. The forum can, currently, either be phpBB2 or phpBB3. To choose which, open config.php with your favourite text editor and change this line: <pre>$CSConfig [ 'bridge' ] [ 'type' ] = 'phpbb2';</pre> to reflect the choice.</p> <p>None of this adds a link to the forum, yet - you simply log into the forum then manually go to the chatspot directory! </p> <h1>What's Missing?</h1> <p>Obviously, this is a bleeding edge version of Chatspot TPL. Immediate features which are not yet planned include: <ul><li>user sessions (including a message to alert that a user left)</li> <li>use of user sessions to create room-userlists.</li> <li>rooms which expire & a room list, proper ability to create rooms.</li> </ul> </p> <h1>What Isn't Missing?</h1> <p>Basic chat functionality. Template engine. Rooms. Sort of.</p> <h1>Can I contribute?</h1> <p>There's an email address in that first section up there - contact it.</p> </div> <div id="footer"> <div id="wiki_tab"><strong>updated</strong> 4th May 2008</div> <div id="wiki_extension" style="display:none;"></div> <div id="sourceforge"> <a href="http://sourceforge.net"><img src="http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=144007&type=1" alt="SourceForge.net Logo" /></a> </div> <p> Chatspot is licensed under <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html" title="View license information - GNU General Public License.">GNU GPL</a> and is hosted at <a href="http://sourceforge.net" title="Soureforge is Chatspot's home and a open source hosting service (and alot more).">Sourceforge</a><br/> Website is <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">XHTML valid</a>; to a sane extent </p> </div> </body> </html>
