Chat Mod
« on: August 16, 2002, 03:25:00 PM »
We would love a chat mod so all members online can chat to eachother , when they log on then they can see whos online or even send a pm to the person online , doesnt have to have lots of rooms just one, and dont need all the fancy stuff , just a plan chat box with 4images .
Can anyone do this , or maybe Jan will have it in the next version  :!:

This script is amazing..it ahs everything I wanted, then I saw that users can see who is online, now it would be good if they all could chat some how..individually, as a group or both..please  consider this

thanks

keep up the good work :)

As a programmer, and one who has looked into php/mySQL chat solutions, don't expect this in 4images any time soon.  It's a tremendous amount of work.  In fact it would be like developing 4images again from scratch.

Just my opinion...

I would suggest searching the forums for similar topics like this one:

http://4homepages.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1658

Any topic that discusses user integration with 3rd party message boards, like phpbb, would be a good place to get started.  It is up to you to find a pre-built chat solution that suits your needs and one that you can integrate with 4images.

Best of luck.

By the way, I checked www.phpbb.com and found that someone has provided a mod to use phpMyChat in phpBB.  I know there's work that's been done to integrate 4images users with phpBB so maybe that's an avenue to explore.
