Flash Chat Room

Install the chat on your server

1.	Unzip the package.
2.	Rename "default.config.php" to "config.php".
3.	FTP the ChatRoom folder to your document root using Binary format. Example: /home/user123/public_html/ChatRoom
4.	Navigate to the 'install.php' file in the 'ChatRoom' folder with your browser (ie: www.yoursite.com/ChatRoom/install.php) and follow instructions.
5.	After the install process completes, delete install.php from your server.
6.	Based on your URL, navigate to www.yoursite.com/ChatRoom/ChatRoomACP/ to login to the Administrator controls.
7.	In your Admin CP for vB, navigate to 'Styles & Templates' and then 'Style Manager'. Then, select 'EDIT TEMPLATES' from the dropdown. Then, select 'Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates' and then finally the 'navbar' template.
8.	Add this code near the rest of the JavaScript:
	function launchChat(url) { myWindow = window.open(url,'name','height=407,width=650,status=1'); if (window.focus) { myWindow.focus(); } return false; }
9.	Find: <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td> Add after: <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="../ChatRoom/ChatRoom_fixed.html" onclick="return launchChat('../ChatRoom/ChatRoom_fixed.html')">Chat</a></td>
10.	Edit the main 'FORUMHOME' template (found under 'Forum Home Templates' category). Find this code:
	<if condition="$show['upcomingevents']">
	Add before: <!-- Flasherize ChatRoom --> <tbody> <tr> <td class="thead" colspan="2"> ChatRoom Statistics </td> </tr> </tbody> <tbody> <tr> <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/stats.gif" alt="ChatRoom" border="0" /></td> <td class="alt1" width="100%"><iframe src="../ChatRoom/ssi.php" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowtransparency="true" background-color="transparent" frameborder="0" style="height: 50px; width: 92%"></iframe></td> </tr> </tbody> <!-- Flasherize ChatRoom -->
11.	Based on your URL, navigate to www.yoursite.com/ChatRoom/ChatRoomACP/ to login to the Administrator controls. Use a vB admin login to login to the ChatRoomACP. The login created in the installation procedure is just a fallback in case your vB installation is offline or otherwise not working.
