Live Chat?

[victor]

Hey, Scott,

thanks for volunteering!

First of all, good call with SMF - it sure is easy to use and runs great. I like it a lot.

There are several attempts by people to post some spam on the site, but so far so good. We are keeping the whole site open without a need for registering, because I thought it would help people with asking questions faster this way. I really wish to keep it this way; however, I am worried about all that Russian and Nigerian spam...

Interestingly enough, Google did not pick up the forum's threads yet. Only the main pages... interesting...

Google cant read always read the posts, as it URLs arent Search engine friendly, there is a mod available to sort that, but the server needs to support it.

Whilst I understand what your saying about registering, and in many ways I agree, without enabling registration and adding the Captcha mod, there will always be some level of spamming.


Maybe it would be a good idea to get a custom skin installed on the forum?

By the way in 1.1RC2 SMF does have an auto install feature, and although its not listed as a stable release, it works perfectly, I never use any of the older versions on my sites.

This mod:

could be great for the forum, it marks a topic solved once its completed.

Wow!!!

This is fantastic!!! Let me try and install this!!!

I think many of us will benefit from this, because it will help with searching for answers.
My my, look at how much we have grown during the past few years. I think we have quite a lot of know-how here...

To follow up to my crazed and one liner -

I have installed solved/rejected mod, but I have major problem with it:

1. it uses X and Check mark and does not blend well with the other buttons.
2. integrated chat looks awesome, but I tried and: Chat button appeared in the toolbar as a text link and Java chat just did not work - it had : Float button. That's it! So I disabled it.

I am very eager to add Language Mod which would allow users to select what language they are posting it and if this is Japanese, Thai, Portuguese, Turkish and other language that an average user would not be able to see, the posts would just be invisible to them. I think it is a really nifty function because it woould allow non-English speakers to use the board without annoying the rest of us with garbled characters 


I wonder what is the difference between 1.1RC2 and 1.07... a lot of mods are for 1.1RC2 and do not work on 1.0.7.

[sy278]

there is alot of differences the main one being that almost all the mods work on it and it has new much nicer theme  (forum.167.org.uk  to see it)

and the auto installer works a treat and tells you before it completes wether or not it expects to find any problems integrating your mod, it can even unistall mods if they are no longer needed or do cause problems.

Hi, Scott,

it would be great if you could tell me where to put the code.

What file are we talking about here? And what line should I add?

Thanks,
Vic
