Chat As promised

[russdev]

ok bit behind in doing coding for site sorry...

 

but as promised here is chat system for people to use http://www.russdev.com/edchat/

 

at moment not integrated into edugeek login system if i ever get time will try and do it but if someone wants to take that project on then they can..

 

also reason we stayed away from irc based chats as 99% of us would not be able to access it from work due to firewalls etc

 

there is a page on wiki for schedule chat ideas...

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'config.inc.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/edchat/index.php on line 37

Use CGI:IRC then rename the .CGI script.

[russdev]

saying that might have to look into increasing bandwidth soon for my sites as they seem to going near limits

[russdev]

ok after spending time trying to get chat system to work with all browser and fix some of bugs i am giving up on using that chat system and going to replace it with something else

 

in fact have got new system installed but want to double check it before i go public with it...

 

Sorry to change halfway through but felt it would be better to change now before we get any futher...

 

cheers

CGI:IRC?

[russdev]

problem is with using irc is lot of firewalls if used with in school will block it and so seemed senabale to stay away from irc but if people want to change our minds then willing to listen

 

russ

[Geoff]

CGI:IRC works over a standard http connection. The connection to the IRC server is done by the Web server. There is no issue with firewalls or web proxies beyond any content filtering that might pick up the urls.

[russdev]

ok will go and look
