I want a real? time chat room for an existing website where members already log into the site. So I don't need them to re-log into the chat room.? I would like two other rooms becides the main room and some? other spacific features that is why I haven't downloaded an existing chat room; however if you can find one that you can modify by all means do this.?
Coding for the existing site is XHTML Strict.? If this can be done as a stand alone that I can have checked and then tied into the site with my own coder great.? ? Not all of the items that I would like can be done by you then so you will have to explain what can and can not be done.
## Deliverables
Chat room functions:
Current members log into the site so when they enter the chat room I don’t want them to have to re-log in.? I just want it to display name and province eg.? Mary, NB
I need a chat room button which opens onto some text with “rules of the Chat Room?? (Text will be sent that is French & English) then a “Enter the Chat Room?? as highlighted text
I don’t want all those notifications when members enter/leave rooms eg. Mary, NB Entered Mom’s Chat at 14:23
Instead I would just like their name to appear on the right (most chat rooms have this (I can send examples) ??" text is on the left and names are on the right in a list form.
Unlimited members can be in a chat room.
I like those moving smiley faces etc.
Different colours used per member so we know who is speaking
An ability to private chat between two members
Two other rooms besides the main room ??" the ability to lock the door to these rooms so people who wish to enter will have to knock ??" those inside stating yes or no.? ?
The ability to reserve a room on a day/time, ending time? (the site is across Canada so they will have to set time zone too) for a specific topic and this info to be displayed on the chat room page, the home page (like a banner that runs across the screen from right to left) and be emailed to members (so when they register they can pick yes or no to the automated emails of chat room topics).? ?
I would like a history (no end date limit so nothing rolls off the system) of chats in my admin so I can read them and settle disputes.? Also? after a chat room? has been? reserved a recent history of chats so the title and date of the chat will appear on the page of chat room rules? - lets say a maximum of 10 - in date order.? Once 10 is reached the oldest rolls off and the new one rolls on.? When they pick the highlighted topic the full chat is displayed.
I would like a? small star symbol to be able to be attached to people's names if they are leading the chat.? So in that icon bar where you have smily faces there should also be a star - if they click it it ocmes up with a "are you leading the chat? yes no
The ability to paste text into the chat box.
