Hi, i just installed FreichatX 6.3.1 on joomla site with CB.
All work great, very good and thanks for all! But I have a problem with Firefox, in the right chat. When I write to someone the text is float on right and if I wrote one of this character (?,.) on the end of word it wrote on the left of word.

For example if I wont to write "How are you?" it write "?How are you".

In Chrome and Opera there isn't this problem and the text are float on the left.

Any suggestion?

Thank's for this amazing component.

I was trying to install the plugin on an ELGG site, and I mistekenly put in the wrong path for the settings. It was step 10 on this page.

http://webgalli.com/blog/facebook-like-chat-for-elgg/#respond

It was a valid file, but the wrong files, so I was able to continue , but then received an error. My issue is that I wanted to restart and spcify the correct file, but I can't seem to get the settings link on the plugin to shop up now. I deleted the chat directory from mod\ ran upgarde, and reinstalled mod\chat, but the plug in does not have the settings link, and won't allow me to try to install the chat again. Is there any other file I can edit or remove to allow me to start the install again?
Thanks in advance,

You've answered a similar question by JulienS I think, but I get the error "Error!: could not find driver" after completing the installation process, and I have no clue how to fix this.

To be more specific, I checked the resolution given to the previous user with the same problem, and I read mentions of PDO being enabled, but I don't even know what this is or where to find it to enable or disable it..

I am using Joomla version 1.6 and my database type is MySQL.

Could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to fix this? In layman's terms without too much technical jargon? Sorry for the inconvenience.

I installed the latest version of FreiChat. All problems with Russian language - solved. Thank you. (Now in Spanish I cannot enter enios, n-s with little dash on top in chat rooms names, but this is minor).
The thing that I cannot change myself is how to move label "Chat Rooms" down or up, because right now it is on top of my Main menu?

The direct chat has the option to clear history, but, I don't seem to find the same option in the chat room.

Is there away to clear these logs?

My installation went well into Joomla!1.5.25 with CB1.7.1 and UddeIM. I'm not a programmer but I'd like to shift the "Chat Room" link position on the left side of the display... it covers over my menu. Which file do I edit to lower the button a little? Of how can I change the location to the right side or other module position on the page?

First of - this seems like a good chat solution. I was stupid enough to buy chatix but freichat seems much better.

My error message when trying to install on joomla 1.7.3:

JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file

Please help :)

I have installed the chat in my site successfully that is the custom site developed in custom PHP. In mozilla it is showing all the online users and count of the user properly, but there is problem in opera, IE and google chrome. In IE first time chat window also not showing, but when i have set the javascript debug mode off, it si showing the chat window, but neither it is showing the online users list nor the count.
The PHP version id 5.3. Please help me to resolve this issue.
Same chat application is working in other sites on same server, so we can't say it is server issue.

Hi!
I install Freichat and at the last step, I receive the error message "Error.. Could not find driver". my PDO IS enabled (I,ve tested). I need to install in a Joomla & a Ellg site. At this point, it must be just a litle problem. Would very appreciate your help. Thanks in advance...

I have run into the (hopefully!) last bug with Freichatx. After running Freichatx for a couple of hours on my localhost joomla installation, it stops wroking, and I get a javascript error in internet explorer. Clicking the error brings up the message:
----------------

Webpage error details

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Timestamp: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:07:21 UTC

Message: 'FreiChat' is undefined
Line: 1
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://evnix-dot-com.appspot.com/?time=1326492245
----------------

Restarting the PC that the localhost joomla installation is running on solves this problem, but I don't want to have to restart every couple of hours just to keep the chat working. I have looked through the code at what might be causing this, and there is a javascript instance connecting this URL back to the chatroom (which I've hidden anyway, I dont' want the chatroom on the page). Is there a way to get rid of the:
script type="text/javascript" src="http://evnix-dot-com.appspot.com/?time=1326491699" /script
code that is causing this problem?

If I remove the http://evnix-dot-com.appspot.com/?time='.time()) instance from the module PHP file, the chat stops working. I'm lost!

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

One last question here. Is there a way to store / review chat history of anyone using the chat? We need to keep a backup of anything on chat in case there is something inappropriate, and were hoping that because freichat keeps a backup specified in the settings (1 day to a couple hours) this backup would be accessable.

Thank you!

Hello!

I love FreiChatX, but I've run into a bit of a problem.

Everything is working great, but in Internet Explorer 8 (have to use it for work) FreiChatx becomes misaligned. The status icon at the top drops down to a new line, and the status icons for the users are a little below their names. I haven't edited anything in the CSS file that would cause this change. In firefox, the chat box looks perfect. Any idea what is causing this / how to fix it?

Here are some screenshots

The IE8 Problem

Firefox is fine

Thank you!
