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. 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.
