Make The Chat Room Bigger

[sg122]

Is it possible to make the chat room bigger to allow for more people to get in there to chat?

Not at this time as the chat software is not mine to edit. However, if the main room is full a second room can be created

Large in a different way is my concern... would you consider allowing us to set the size of the chat window on the page?

Currently it is set to 600x500, but with a little PHP and a small text input form, you could make it default to that size and allow a member to resize it to be larger... like, oh, say 900x700 or so. (Make sure to check the PHP variables for SQL injection.)

Or, alternatively, you could use radio buttons to allow people to select from a set of sizes.

Just a thought.

Chat room now holds up to 500 people.

The software does not allow for me to make it resizeable by chatters... we hve to set a size.

And I was suggesting... editing the Invision Board php code. You don't need to edit the java class to do it. I have a copy of the chat page saved locally... and edited the window to be 800x700. Obviously I can't see the PHP on your server -- and, I guess these boards aren't free, otherwise I would have downloaded them and done the edits myself to demonstrate.

As it is, I have a similar java chat program on a site that I run. It may be different software, but the concept is identical. (You can find the page at http://qmt.ath.cx/javairc/chat.php )

In the source for your page, the following is generated (I don't know exactly how/where in your forum software, but as Invision runs on PHP, the edits should be somewhat similar to mine.

Looks good, but I am no good with coding, don't want to mess things up. Will have to find someone to do it for me
