Cool man thanks, now I just need to wait for paypals extended card use? lol. When it goes through, i'll have a nice chatroom also

I tried flash chat - on my site thats running on ace-host.net server....2gigs and 20gig transfer....however they deactivated my site for like two days because they say that the script was causing their cpu to bog down...it was taking up 97%!!!!!


Had to promise to get rid of flash chat in order for them to give me my site back!
Trying to find another chatroom to use now!

Damn I love flashchat ;)

MY APOLOGIES - THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN TO MY SITE - I FOUND OUT FOR SURE WHAT IT WAS - IT WAS WEBMAILFX - THE INBOX.PHP FILE WAS CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY HOSTING CO'S CPU - NOT FLASHCHAT!

VIVA LA FLASHCHAT!!!!

...nice one Don, very good suggestion

I used it and it was great. I had it so it would open in a new window, but a tip is on that page dont have anything like menus or other module blocks. If users decide to go exploring from the chat page, they can get locked out - in that they leave without logging out and when they try to renter the get - nope username is already logged in. There is also a hack around that displays who is chatting on this site as well.
cheers

Create your own block - then link it to (directory of chat module)/flashchat.php

Hi,

I'll be downloading flashchat in a minute. But I'm a newbie and concerned about installing an app into XOOPS that's not an approved module..

How do I do it? Is there anything special I should know? I mean, since it's not a xoop module it's not loaded from the module dashboard, right? Then how is it installed.

Also, on their site I saw this mode for a "flashchart block"

It was written for phpnuke. Can we use it or do we just create our own block?

Instructions for installing flashchat with XOOPS are included in the download - Nd it's fairly easy - the chat is also customizable! I've used it and I love it!
