Input format

Chat message will be filtered according to the input format you select for the chat node.

To integrate Smiley support, simply install the Smiley module and setup a filter with the smiley formatter in it.

Kick and ban messages

When users are kicked out or banned from chats, you can set the message displayed to them here.

Update frequency

How often the chat client polls the server for new messages. If you are worried about too many chats impacting server performance, set this to a bigger number than 1, which is the default.

Idle time

How many seconds between each message before a last message time is shown in the chat.

Maximum users

Set a non-zero value here if you wish to limit the number of users in a given chat.

Old messages

How many old messages to display when first entering a chat.

Can someone tell me how to add smiley and chat alert to chatroom? Thanks

I must admit that I just tried this, and it didn't work for me either, but for what it's worth:

The usual method to add smileys is:

1) Add the module to /sites/all/modules
2) Install module from admin/build/modules
3) Setup one of your roles to have admin permissions of the smileys admin/user/permissions
4) Add the node types chat and chatroom to the configuration at admin/settings/smileys/configure
5) Go to admin/settings/filters and configure basic filtering and add Smileys filter.

It's step five that every one seems to miss. Go to admin/settings/filters and configure basic filtering and add Smileys filter.

Can you add a sentence on how chatroom integrates with Application Bar (appbar) and how to set it?

Hi,

do any of the configuration options above work in Drupal 7? Or were they 6 features?

Cheers,

Lyn
