Uploaded version 1.2 of Webby Chat.

Found that this add-on kills my log-in/log-out page. Just gives a white page. Any suggestions?

I had a lot of problems with this extension, and gave up after struggling with it for hours. I'm using PFC, which was a doozy to install and get going - not a single issue.

@philrisk Are you using 1.2 of the vanilla add on?
@Michael3185 Can you let us know what problems you were having so we can help resolve them for everyone?

*** IF YOU ARE USING PAGEMANAGER ***
PageManager doesn't show the tab that webbychat tries to create. You can create it by doing this:

1. Goto Page Management
2. Add a new page
3. Set the Tab Name to Chat
4. Leave tab Identifier blank
5. Copy this exactly into "Tab Attributes:
onclick="__wbc_slide_chat_pane(); return false;"
6. Make the Tab Url: #

@crickeys - I installed it before the 13th if that was when 1.2 was released.Deleted it now so not sure which one I was using. I installed about 2 weeks ago.

@philrisk May want to try it again with the latest version, just so we can tell everyone else if it's resolved.

That was a few 18 hour days ago, and I can't remember the exact problems. Tell you what though, now I've seen crikeys advice on Page Manager, I'll give Webby Chat another look, as I do vaguely remember nothing coming up. Will post again later. [edit] Sorry, but after reading their main site, I won't be using it. I need a private chat that I can fully control from day one, as the forum it's used in is for staff providing service for at-risk groups. Hence, lots of rules and regulations.

@Michael: perhaps you should check out http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/6834/3/pfc/ and/or http://www.phpfreechat.net/ Note: add-on supposedly has issues, but I see people who claim that various notes in the comments have "fixed the issues"

@TomTester; cheers for the links. I did try phpFreeChat, but liked the way PFC integrated easily and just worked (though I see from various posts that others had problems). The first forum I'm getting ready to go asap is private, and will only have around 30 - 40 members, so PFC will do on that. Another one may grow much larger, so I may look at other options in the future.

This may be a silly question, but is there any way possible to use webbychat to access an IRC channel instead?

crickeys

Coupon code for vanilla users. If you sign up for one of our Control plans use promo code: LUSSUMO_20 and get 20% off.

chaoflux

TBH its way too spendy at $30/m, even if there was 20% off, a monthly charge just to be able to get away with using curse words without being banned is pretty lame. Uninstalling Webbychat right now due to it.

crickeys

There's a $9.95 plan with control as well.

I am waiting for the frame version. Other than that, I like Webbychat a lot. Easy integration and my users liked it. Except the slowing down of the whole site even if closed.

There is an error in the instructions for people using Page Management.

Correction:
Into Tab Attributes, copy this: "onclick="__wbc_slide_chat_pane(); return false;"

I got the chat panel to display properly but once I edited the WebbyChat custom settings it stopped working. I noticed that every time I changed/saved something I kept getting extra slashes. My resolution was simply to get rid of all of the extra comments.

var __ptw_start_open = false;
var __ptw_dont_push = false;
var __ptw_align = left;
var __ptw_width = 240;

polarduality

let's try this again ><
var __ptw_start_open = false; var __ptw_dont_push = false; var __ptw_align = left; var __ptw_width = 240;
