Thanx Prutkar,

CB gender field was already filled with 'cb_gender; but I anyways emptied it, saved it and when I checked it was filled with 'cb_gender.

Thanx for your answers for my other two questions. The first point is very important since not everybody will login to the chat windows, user must have an option to send a notification to online (on the website) users.

Thanx for your prompt help. Hopefully we will soon be upgrading our BlastChat account

You did not answer all my questions, so let's assume that you are not using CommunityBuilder - there is a little bug in the module, you must set "CB gender field" to empty field and save it (after you do it, it will still show "CB gender field" filled with 'cb_gender' but database will hold empty value). This is reason why it did not work before, as database call failed trying to load CommunityBuilder data from your database. (Username color is related field)

Now to you last questions:
1. That is correct, you can communicate only with users who are inside chat and in the same room as you are. Our new web2.0 implementation of the chat which is almost ready for beta testing will allow you to communicate with all users who are in the chat (not necessary in the same room). And we plan to release 'BlastChat statusbar' in the future which will allow you to communicate even with users who are logged to your website and not in the chat.

2. Clicking on "join chat" link first loads com_blastchatc component (extension) in your main window and then that component will detach new window with chat. Reason for it is to load proper data and submit it to newly opened detached window. I will do a feasibility study if it would be possible to not reload main window in order to open new detached window and still load data on the background, in case "join chat" is supposed to open detached window.

Thanx Prutkar,

I've disabled the blastchat module since it was not working, but have enabled it again. I found that when I had set the userlist in li list mode and turned user colour on, it wasn't showing the user list. When I turned those off, it is showing the user list.

I have a couple of other question -

1. I am able to chat only with the users who have logged into chat. Can't I send a notification to online users (nut not chatting yet) that I want to talk to them?

2. I have configured chat client to be opened in a detached window, and that is happening. But even then the page on which chat link is, disappears and user is taken to another page. I am attaching this page's screen-shot. Can't I avoid it somehow?

Please help me. Chat will be a great tool for stutterers to meet and connect.

Just so that we are on the same page:
1. you have installed com_blastchatc_3.2_Joomla_1.5.zip and registered your website?
2. you have installed mod_blastchatc_3.2_Joomla_1.5.zip?
3. I do not see "join chat" menu link on your frontpage, did I overlooked it?
4. Do you use Community Builder?
5. How is your module config set?
"Display online"
"Display in chat"

PS: please, publish module so I can take a look

Hi,

I've installed and configured com_blastchatc_3.2_Joomla_1.5.zip on my Joomla based web site www.stammer.in.

I've configured the module by the name - Who's online; and configured it to show online user names. But it is showing the online users, it only says 33 guests and 5 users online. Whereas at the same time Joomla's default module mod_whoisonline is able to show the user names.

Also if and when I am able to get the online user names; if I click on a user name and send him a message, will a chat windows be opened at the recipient's browser itself?

Please help me out. I am designing this web site for a non-profit organisation voluntarily; and this issue has just stumped me.

Regards

Nitin
