phpFreeChat Plugin 1.9-beta(A)

This plugin integrates a phpFreeChat session into MyBB.

Version:

This simple plugin embeds an open-source phpFreeChat session into your MyBB forums site.

phpFreeChat acts, feels, and looks very similar to the garden variety ICQ/MSN/... programs out there. It's php-powered and requires NO database backend. (check it out at http://www.phpfreechat.net/)

Both this plugin and the phpFreeChat software are very nice and very easy to install. Since I finished working on it, my forums users have been using it constantly.

See the readme.html in the package for more information; and checkout the screencap below to see how it looks in MyBB.

Change Log:
version 1.9-beta(A) ~ (03/10/2007)
- "A" = AWESOME! (hehe) Actually, "A" means the first revision to the 1.9-beta series.
- The chat session can now be embedded into MyBB in 1 of 3 different places, with selection set in the AdminCP. Available options include:
-- Header: [this shows on every major page] (position used in all previous plugin versions)
-- Index [shows only on the main index page]
-- Toplinks [adds a new toplink icon that opens chat in a popup window] (this is the new default due to increased board performance when chat is not embedded in the pages.)
- Admins can allow users to "opt-out" of chat, & reposition it through their UserCPs!
- Whole host of bug fixes and improvements.

version 1.9-beta ~ (02/28/2007)
- Upgraded plugin mechanics to support the latest phpFreeChat (v1.9-beta).
- Greatly enhances board admin control of the chat session with many additional options in the Admin CP.
- Full language support is now available. (I'm actively searching for translators, so please PM me or email me from the MyBB mods or community sites to help!)
