AKcoyote Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 We are still working to fix the integration of PhpFreeChat with phpBB 3.1.x. However as that may take some time to find how to fix that issue, I would like to get your opinion on chat alternatives. I have been looking into the possibility of using Ejabberd as a chat server. This uses the XMPP protocol and would require chatters to have an IM client program such as those on the following list: http://xmpp.org/xmpp-software/clients/ Ejabberd would provide the capability of private as well as public chats and possibly an alternative method of sending notifications to members. Another option is to change PhpFreeChat to have it generate a random nickname rather than try to use your Den username as the nickname. Once Chat is loaded, you could use the /nick command to set a new nickname if you do not like being Guestxxxx where xxxx is a random number.
neoJaguar Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I vote whatever is easiest for you AK. If people want to chat, they will adapt to the new means.
excalafur1 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 If you know what the old ffg used, I liked that one.
AKcoyote Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Unfortunately I have no idea what FFG used for chat.
neoJaguar Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Unfortunately I have no idea what FFG used for chat. I do - check our chat post in the mod forum.
AKcoyote Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 As very few bothered to vote in the poll and/or post comments, I have decided to re-enable PhpFreeChat but WITHOUT any link to the Den's user database. This means you will get a Guestxxx nickname when entering chat where xxx is a random number. You can use the "/nick" command (example: /nick new-nickname) to change your chat nickname to whatever you like. We recommend you use your Den user-name so others might recognize who they are chatting with.
Guest Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I've been away for a while limited computer access. I think the old chat was easy. Could PM "on the fly". But as neoJag said, what ever is easiest for you AK.
