I found a pretty good one we use it on our website. Its a simple flash chat thats itergraded into nuke module. No sql, no configs needed just chmod 2 files and its good to go. You can get it here http://www.mtechnik.net/php/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=218

Just a note for anyone wanting to install SPchat. There is an error in the install file which is my fault because I dind't send the proper translation after the files change. There is one thing missing out of the read me file.

If you are using the English, French or Italian install instructions, disregard the line that tells you to rename the profile.php the code changed since that instruction was written and you don't need to do that now.

Second thing which is missing out of the readme but is in the install, is that modules/SPChat/inc MUST be chmod 777 to be able to create the config before first run.

If you didn't Chmod the inc folder. Dump your tables, chmod the folder and do it again. Then you wont have any problems. If you can't figure out what the problems, why your chat isn't working right. Check the logfile, if you get a helper_inc.php error, the problem is the chmod, and you need to dump your tables.

I'm sorry if this caused problems for anyone. I didn't realize that the new vs had been released to the public.

I installed spchat today and it seems to work very nicely. http://www.runningtrades.com/index.php. The problem I am having is since them my bulletin board says I do not have authority to administer it from the admin panel. I am not familiar with php nor mysql. My thoughts are something changed in a table or something but no idea what to do.

Any ideas on how to check where the table error is.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Did you change anything in the sql? It shouldn't affect your board at all. It creates its own tables. Go into your log file and see if there are any errors listed there.

Are you using Nuke 6 or 6.5?

When you uploaded the files did you upload them to the correct place?

Chmod inc folder 777?

Try deactivating the chat in modules, and see if that changes the error you are getting for the forum. I don't see how it could effect the forum unless you overwrote one of the admin files for the forum, but they are named different things so I can't see how that would happen.

That being said the chat script shouldn't affect the forums at all. the admin name you used to sign in and set up the chat is your super admin for the forum correct? That is the only thing I can think of that might make a difference if you have more then one superadmin, and you used different names.

If that is the case, deactivate the module. Log out of the site. Delete the tables related to the chat, (they all say spchat) Personally I would reupload all the files related to the chat, chmod inc folder 777. Log back into your site as both user and superadmin (the original that you started the site with) then reinstall the chat.

Otherwise I have no idea what it might be. What else did you recently install? Is it a new install of Nuke?

Try turning debugging on.

I have a chat on php-nuke 6.5 but had to pay someone to make is custom for me so I'm not sure I'm going to release it.

I really don't think spchat is the problem. It runs really nice. I tried uploading the bulletin board again, applying secfix 3 changes and now I no longer get don't have authorization to log in. I get:

Any ideas? Thanks

I just looked at your site and noticed that the nuke copyrights have been removed. I'm afraid I can't help you any further.

The copyrights are still there, maybe you looked when I changed a skin as was in the midst of that. I would never remove the copyright as I still can't quite believe this amazing program is free.

I managed to get into the bulletin boards through the admin and it seems to be working now. Thanks for your help.

The copyrights in the footer have been removed.

The site I am working on is www.runningtrades.com/index.php. I think you may be looking at the non-nuke site which is still live.

Nope looking at the right site.

Is this not the copyright information you mean?

I know I had lost it once messing around with the footer and Raven got it back in for me on another site, but want to make sure this is what I am supposed to have. Or do you mean the page generation time as I lost that and am not sure how?

Hey, I like the block you have that shows the chat rooms for SpinChat. Is that included in the SpinChat install or did you DL somewhere else?

No I didn't do anything the block came with the module and you can actually see who is in which chat rooms. Neat hey!
