Guests viewing / using Chatbox
Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible for the guests to use and/or view the ChatBox.
I am completly new to this, so if you could explain me how to do this easily, it would be appreciated.
Thanks alot for your time.

I don't think the guests can view or use the chatbox.

Ahh, are you sure?
Can't you change something in the script or something so they can at least view it?

The default option of chatbox in Modules section of the administration panel does not allow it.
But, you can add a html code, from www.shoutmix.com which provides shoutboxes. Here the guests as well can view & post.

Re: Guests viewing / using Chatbox
Yeah, i use that too in my forum so i've got 2 chat room. he.he.he. sometimes it tells me when a new member wants to get approved, they just shout at it... but the problem is its has limitation, you have to upgrade to have a full access such as no post quota and so on . Right now im considering with http://xat.com.The smiley it's not as much as Shoutmix but BIG, but the coolest thing is they've got wallpaper - which you can modify by your own - and check this out :Sound....Sanket wrote:The default option of chatbox in Modules section of the administration panel does not allow it.

Re: Guests viewing / using Chatbox
Oh, I might aswell make a separete HTML page so the guests can chat but...
Wait that would be stupid, having 2 chat rooms. Then members won't know which one to use.

Well to you perhaps, but for the members- specially mine- not, infact they like it, and sometimes the guest just wanna post a "simple guestbook" at that chatbox, sometimes for short messages and so on. And for me -or the moderators-,its give me the real time whether i should look at the chat box -sometimes new members shout- rather than go to admin panel or my mailbox to check if there's any members want to get approved... Got my point?
Re: Guests viewing / using Chatbox
Anyway i just want to give an alterative rather than modify the code - which is not my ability- ... Thanks for your charming response ...
Re: Guests viewing / using Chatbox
I know you're trying to help me here, and I appreciate that. I didn't intend to offend you in any way, sorry for that.
I meant that it wouldn't fit in my forum, since it's pretty small and making 2 chatrooms would look stupid. In my forums.
Thanks for your help, I'll take a look with my admins and see what we will do. :3

Re: Guests viewing / using Chatbox
its true that we can not set up forum chatbox for guess but intsead of that maybe you can just set up one forum enable for guest ( that i do on my forum ),
i mean, just set up one forum 'permission' for enabling quest to write or reply to thread there. dont forget to announce it on portal so guest will know where to post if they any problem.
