Video chat

I installed the plugin and it worked straight away without having to edit the files, are the files just optional to make it more customisable, is the room private, ie doesnt display on the tinychat site? thanks for your help great app

This is a starter chat , you can make a new chat with a name you choose here which makes it more private

This will allow for a name change making your room more Private.

However to get all the features of the chat or to make it totally private you need to get an account on tiny chat . It is free to join.

It seems they changed that code a bit now you can change the name in the var for the script.

<script type="text/javascript">var tinychat = { room: "YourChatroomnamehere", colorbk: "0xffffff", join: "auto", api: "list"};</script><script src="http://tinychat.com/js/embed.js"></script><div id="client"><a href="http://tinychat.com">video chat</a> provided by Tinychat</div>

ok Thanks so what do i register and then find that embed page? when i paste that into the php page do i have to delete the script that make the basic room come up that you put there?

Thanks so much for your help, really cool feature for a plugin!!

could you do the same thing but instead of a chat display a store front like zen cart?

You can try the chat as it is and just replace the script with the one with your chatroom name. It is not mandatory to register but some features for video like filters and effects may only work with the registered version, but everything else works well.

If you register and obtain a new script just replace the script part in the vchat.php

For your storefront, I recommend you use ExtraPage plugin to embed a store. But yes you could also embed more code into the vchat page if you want to have it in the same page.

Thanks iill check it out is there a way to only allow people from my forum into the chatroom or is it accesable from the tiny chat site too?

Well there are millions of tiny chats it is possible someone might but if they are not from the forum you can kick them off and block them. Also it has a private conversation button

The link to the chat only shows to logged in users so that cuts back on lookey loos.. but
It seems pretty harmless since you can kick them off.

I think you can also choose not to be listed in the directory of tiny chats. And make it password protected too.

Users need a key like this example:

http://tinychat.com/turkey

you would set this up in the tiny chat website in your account setting for the chatroom.

Can you give a link to the page this is happening on? It is possible you need to adjust the css.

this is the part that controls the width of that page, it is found in the videochat.css for the plugin.

#Content {
    width: 920px!important;
    margin: 0 auto;
    float: none;
    }

you can also change it to percentage

 #Content {
        width: 90%!important;
        margin: 20px auto;
        float: none;
        }

Hello,

I have tried changing the .css but nothing happens :

http://escorts.nzgirls.club/vchat

Content {float:left !important;

width: 100% !important;
margin:0px !important;padding:0px !important;
float: none;
}

I want the video box to be 100% , it's too thin and floating right ..

Thanks!

Looks good to me, sometimes you need to empty the browser catch or use an extension like CSS Reloader to see the changes right away

i use consolidator etc , the CSS reloader plugin clears ALL cache even if other plugins are used ?

newzealandgirls

The chat history seems to disappear ?

I try to avoid those because they mess up things...

The chat is an iframe or an embed you must apply the css to that not the #Content
