TaigaChat Pro - Realtime chat/shoutbox 1.2.0
TaigaChat (pronounced 'tie-gah chat') Pro brings to the table a wide array of commonly-requested features in the original TaigaChat free version, along with many improvements of my own concoction to make TaigaChat Pro more than an old-fashioned shoutbox - it is now also suited to replace highly-concurrent Flash, IRC and proprietary chatrooms.
Fresh installation instructions:
If upgrading from TaigaChat free, scroll down for correct instructions!
If you use [bd] Widget Framework:
Upload contents of upload folder to forum root.
Install new addon using addon-TaigaChat.xml.
Set the permissions for all relevant user groups.
Import widget_framework_taigachat_pro.xml from Appearance > Import Widgets - do NOT delete your existing widgets when prompted.
Then, go to Appearance > List Widgets and enable one of the two available Shoutbox types (Sidebar or Full width), and additionally the ‘Users in Chat’ widget if you desire.
Observe the settings in Home > Options > TaigaChat Pro, especially the top setting (‘Speed mode’) if shoutbox security matters.
