Chatter Box
ANSWERS
  1. What is Chatter Box
    Chatter Box is a free chat script that will allow visitors to your site to chat to each other. It has many inbuilt features such as smilies, bad word filter, getsures and banners.

    It is very easy to setup and comes with its' own installer. The admin panel will allow you to add, delete and view banners, kick or ban users and enter chat as Admin.

    It is a fully featured script.

  2. How do I set up Chatter Box
    Set up is simple and straightforward.

    Create a directory on your server to receive the script.

    Upload all the files and folders to your webserver. Keep the directory structure intact.

    Chmod the chat directory you created to 777.

    Chmod the banners directory to 777.

    Chmod the file lk.php to 777.

    Edit the file db_file.php and add your database settings.

    Browse to http://www.yoursite.com/chat_directory/install.php.

    Follow the instructions given in the installer.

    That's all.

  3. Why are there so many things to change in config.php
    This script has a particularly large number of variables that can be modified. We have done this purposely so that the final configuration of your script can be a very close match to your site.

    If you don't want to spend time going through all these variables and changing them - don't. The script will work perfectly with the standard configuration and the only two changes you need to make are to your paths.

  4. I get an open_basedir restriction in effect error message
    If you receive this error message (or something similar that talks about open_basedir restrictions in effect):

    Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/lib/php4/php/language/lang-.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/http/vhost/yourdomain.com/httpdocs)

    Then your hosts have set some restrictions on your server. Most hosts will be happy to turn off this restriction to allow the script to run. Contact your hosts, inform them of the error message you are receiving and request that they remove open basedir restrictions.

  5. Some of my visitors can't login to chat
    If your visitors are unable to log in it is probably because they have a popup blocker in use. Ask them to turn this off or set their blocker to "allow" the chat window to open.

  6. Can I suggest a way to improve Chatter Box

  7. How can I remove the link to Liquid Frog from the script
    This is a free script, as such it generates no income for us. In addition, we have to bear the costs associated with download of the script in terms of bandwidth and ongoing development and all our free scripts are very popular with our site visitors meaning a lot of bandwidth!

    We use the link included with the script to generate traffic to this site in the hope that people will purchase one of our paid for scripts or some of our software. Whilst we would love to give away our scripts and not have a link, economic realities dictate otherwise. We give you the script for free - you return that by sending us traffic, we consider this a fair exchange.

    If the link spoils the look of your site or you really don't want the link, you can pay a small fee to have it removed. We charge just $7.99 for removal of the link and you can find instructions on how to do this in the help file from the admin panel.
