Shoutbox / Chat needed

[dnenb]

I'd like a simple shoutbox type of thing that's secure and uses as little javascript as possible. Do you have any suggestions? Or have you got one you'd like to sell? Please send me a pm.

Sniko made a base for one. Its simple but uses some ajax and could use some sprucing up

Depending on the functionality you desire I have a paid multi chat room script available.

I also released a free simple shoutbox mod in 2010 (it's pretty old and awful) which you could also use. Might be a nice core to build upon?

There are other mods around this forum I did a simple search for "chat" and found this which might be suited to what you need.

Thanks. I've bought yours but all the javascript didn't work well for a lot of my mobile players. I've toyed around with one similar to your last link, but don't think I want to deal with text files. I'm gonna look at your second link and maybe create something out of that without javascript.

A mobile? without Javascript support? What sort of mobiles are your players on?

The chat will try and sit at the bottom right of the viewable area so maybe rather annoying on a smartphone.

Most phones do support javascript, I guess, but it has proven more hassle than it's worth. There's a lot of different browsers that deal with stuff in their own way, and the different screensizes doesn't do much to help.

I don't know where I seen it but I have seen daves ajax chat kind of mixed with a chat box and daves chat was disabled if you are on mobile. There are things you can do to tell if a player is mobile or not.

You could certainly do this. I shall consider mobile support in the long awaited update to my system.
