   TuFat FlashChat   Hits: 6204 

 
Features: FlashChat includes a set of advanced administrative options so that you can easily manage rooms, users, bans, messages, and much more. The room list and message input area can be re-positioned to different parts of the screen by simply dragging and droppinig. These layout positions can also be set by default in the external layout file. A PHP-based "bad words filter" allows you, the chat administrator, to prevent foul language from being viewed within the chat. FlashChat's text options can also be externally configured in the config.php file. You can add additional font sizes, specify the default font sizes for the interface text, set the default language, and much more! Nearly every color in FlashChat can be modified within the PHP configuration files (using the HEX color code). You can also set custom JPG or SWF background images easily by editing the appropriate theme file, located in the /inc/themes/ folder). FlashChat has the ability to use small, graphic avatars for any user. You may also set special avatars for administrators, or to distinguish male vs. female users. The background image can be customized for any user as well. AIML, the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language, has been integrated with FlashChat. This feature allows your chatters to interact with a true artificial intelligence entity, making your chat seem "alive" even during periods of down-time. With over 50 configuration options available in the FlashChat config.php file, you can make the chat behave in any of dozens of ways. Set IP limits, log limits, flood intervals, inactivity limits, and much more! You will find that FlashChat is one of the most highly configurable chat systems on the Net. Nearly every piece of text in the FlashChat interface can be customized using external language files. Each language supported by FlashChat comes with a separate UTF-8 language file, which can be easily edited using any standard text editor. An advanced installation wizard makes installing FlashChat a snap. As long as you know how to use FTP, and have a MySQL database in place on your server, you can install FlashChat. You should be understand how to set file and folder permissions (chmod). FlashChat integrates with a wide variety of content-management systems, including popular bulletin boards and web builders, like phpBB, Mambo, vBulletin, Xoops, Invision Power Board, GeekLog, CPG-Nuke, AEDating, AZDG Dating, UBB.Threads, WowBB, Simple Machines, e107, WotLab BB, PHP Fusion, LunaByte, MD-Pro, PHP-Nuke, POST-Nuke, WowBB, XMB Forum, and more! New integrations are constantly being added, and are distributed for free. And More!

Slick interface-install script & code is buggy, Jul 19, 2005 Reviewed By: ridddder
Review Of: TuFat FlashChat in PHP :: Chat Scripts
The chat works, and looks great among the best visually great looking rooms I've seen. The craveat however is the support, and being as this script is only $5, there basically isn't any except from other purchasers. I got the unregistered chat to work great, but the registered chat had lots of errors. If there would be any kind of better documentation with the script and or if you played around with the install code I might get it to work. However given the time involved to do so, it really isn't worth my while to fix someone elses mess. I give this script a 3, because of how good it looks, and for the vast amount of options it has. However, with little to no support, this baby is up to you to figure out. Is it worth $5, maybe for seasoned pro since you get the source code to modify as you wish. However, for the beginner I suggest something with better documentation, and developer support.

Great script!, Oct 26, 2006 Reviewed By: deraque

Love it! Everything went smoothly from the ordering to having the actual software in my social networking software. Integrated it with phpfox and it worked perfect! Beautiful design as well. A+ for FlashChat! :D

Review Of: TuFat FlashChat in PHP :: Chat Scripts
If you're put off by manually editing config files, don't buy this. If you want a full featured chat with a fantastic interface & can follow the install instructions, spend the $5. It's worth it! This chat has /kick /ban /me and all the other chat functions, lotsa bots and, IMHO, good user-to-user support. Plus you get lifetime upgrades. What's not to like? Nobody is getting rich on this script, but it's sure a lot of fun and it integrates great w/Joomla & other CMS/BB's. 5 Stars from me!

There are bettr alternatives, Jan 31, 2008 Reviewed By: SupremeCenterHosting.com
Review Of: TuFat FlashChat in PHP :: Chat Scripts
As one who has installed FlashChat for dozens of clients, I can say without certainty that there are better alternatives to FlashChat available. FlashChat is a resource hog. I have had many clients who had told me that their host had suspended their hosting account due to high resource usage by FlashChat. FlashChat is known to have bugs that have been around for several releases and Tufat.com has yet to address these bugs. Keep searching HotScripts.com for alternatives!
