Chocolate570 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I guess you could write your own with PHP and MySQL, but java is the best way to go...you can embed it on an HTML webpage.Another alternative is going here: http://www.zend.com/apps.php?CID=240And looking at their list.

Eric Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 So far, the chatrooms I've come accross and have used in the past have been: Java PHP Flash ~My Opinion~ Out of the 3, I prefer Flash. PHP requires it to refresh the page every few of seconds (unless you set it to refresh every 1 second but that can sometimes be annoying). Java doesn't need to refresh, but is slow to load and some older browsers can't use it. Flash is good because it doesn't need to refresh and it is fast. You can create a MySQL database and trigger the chat to save to it in PHP, and have it lnk to the Flash chatroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspnetguy Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 It can be written in ASP just as easily as PHP...As far as IPB themes in phpBB, I doubt they are compatible...look at the CSS code for each one, I am sure they are very different. You will have to break them down and understand what each class does and translate that into the appropriate phpBB classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 You could probably google for "phpbb skins that look like IPB" and see what turns up.I know there are IPB skins that are modeled after the VBulliten default skin, so there are probably some PhpBB skins that are modeled after IPB default.

aspnetguy Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 You will need a box to enter your message, a send button, and a window to view the messages and a database to collect messages. Will this be a box were multiple people can chat or just private messages???What I would do is have the viewing window in an iframe like you were thinking then when you hit submit the message gets submitted to the iframe which stores the message in the database then redirects back to the page that displays the messages.

aspnetguy Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 You will need 3 pagesdefault.asp - this page contains a form to input your message and an iframe which loads show.asp.show.asp this retreives all the messages from the database and displays them (this page is in the iframe of default.asp).add.asp - this page is loaded (into the iframe from default.asp) when the send button is click (on default.asp). This adds the new message to the database then uses response.redirect("show.asp") to then display all the messages including the new one you just added.

plantigrade Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 It can be written in ASP just as easily as PHP...Is ASP platform-independant then, Aspnetguy? I thought it was limited to servers running a Microsoft OS, so won't work on the usual 'nix-apache setup. Plantigrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 that is true ASP is tied to Windows....I was just comparing the languages based on their ease to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantigrade Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Mmm. Shame, really. Something easier than php would certainly be welcome! From your post referring to show., default. and add.asp it sounds as though it's well adapted to database queries. On the other hand, php is free so it must be terrific value for money!
