Layout for our new chat script

Josh · 12-24-2003, 11:40 PM

Hey,

This is just a sneak peak at the layout for our new remote hosted php chat program called: YapRoom.com. It's going to be based on the Xanga.com theory but use chat rooms instead of blogs.

Free users can chat and search and have favorites, while paid users can create the rooms and have more option in the rooms.

It's still in development stages, but will have all the main features of normal chats, and more! Some of the features include:
-Sounds
-Smilies
-"BB Code" parsing: [b ] [u ] [i ] [url ] and [img ](without spaces)
-the img tag will place a small icon with thumbnail preview popup onmouseover (dhtml)
-Create your own room with sub-rooms (paid)
-PM users
-Font styles
-Print the chat log
-Email the chat log
-Save chat log to disk

Nice one there.Josh.Hope it comes to NP.

Its going to be all PHP and MySQL. The chat logs are going to be stored in the database.

I sent -RJ- a notice about it suggesting replacing the buggy JAVA one on the site currently. Our PHP one has all the same features and even some it doesnt

Fantastic. I adore the logo emoticon. The design is very simple, effective, and I just love the glass button effect. Good luck on making it become a huge success
