That is all. Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: Clive on April 02, 2008, 09:05:47 PM Maybe the conversation just isn't very good.

Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: dystopia on April 03, 2008, 12:16:05 PM and dump Kattare. That is all. Got any ideas for a chatroom replacement? I haven't looked in a while, but it's been a year, so I'm sure there are better ones around these days. I don't have a lot of time these days to investigate, but if you find one you like, post a link here and I'll install it. (this server is set up for php, mysql, or jsp). We could also link to a chatroom hosted elsewhere which is popular these days. Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: Spanky on April 03, 2008, 01:02:21 PM *feces*, didn't know you were going to put me to work. ;)
Guess I can look around. This is the only place I chat other then IM and Google Chat. Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: Spanky on April 03, 2008, 01:37:02 PM Have you already tried this one?
http://phpopenchat.org/index.php Is this phpfreechat? Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: dystopia on April 03, 2008, 02:01:34 PM Nice. [sm_thumbsup2] phpopenchat looks good. I'll work on it later today.
Looks different than phpfreechat. Although I noticed that phpfreechat has had several releases since we tried it out and rejected it. So if we don't like phpopenchat, we can give phpfreechat another try. Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: dystopia on April 03, 2008, 02:58:04 PM Hmm, not much luck with phpopenchat. I installed it on my local machine, but couldn't get it to work. It looks like the latest version is from Mar 17. 2005, so I don't like my chances.
I'm going to look at phpfreechat now, it's up to release 1.1. The last time we looked at it, it was at 1.0-beta8. Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: dystopia on April 03, 2008, 04:02:06 PM OK, phpfreechat is now running. I haven't done any customizations. I'll wait to see how it performs first.
Let me know what you think after the next chat session. Especially if it's better or worse than the x7chat room. Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: Clive on April 03, 2008, 07:09:46 PM I read this thread, and I keep seeing "phpasshat". And imagining a guy hitting a golf ball, then pointing his finger at me.
Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: spacey on April 03, 2008, 09:17:44 PM Need to disable the *goshdarn* language filter. Otherwise, how can I properly greet Clive?
Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: dystopia on April 04, 2008, 12:20:12 AM I just made a couple of changes to chat:
- disabled the language censor - removed the backlog history (when you first entered you used to be able to see the last 20 lines people were talking about before you entered) - disabled ability to change username - decreased the size of some of the fonts - increased the size of the "Send" button Still researching: - I didn't see an easy way to allow people to adjust the vertical height. Will keep looking, but it looks like it's written so that the #lines to display has to be the same for each user - didn't find any themes with a black background and white/light text. I did find another theme that isn't bad. You can view that under "Chat B" Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: Spanky on April 04, 2008, 05:18:43 AM I like the looks of chat B. Its smaller and fits the laptop screen better.

[sm_devil] Pick one that moves slower so I can keep up. TIA Title: Re: X7 Chat sucks Post by: Aske on April 04, 2008, 08:00:35 AM :o
