Has anyone here upgraded their chatspot 1.0.0 to a newer version like 2.0.7a? Any problems? Any benefits worth it?

By the way, I found how to ban individual users from chatspot 1.0.0.

If you want to ban tmotley from chat:

Open chatspot.php. Just before where it says build_frames(); insert this code:

Code: Select all

if ($userdata["username"] == tmotley) {  die ("You have been banned from Chatspot.");}

Repeat that code for each member you'd like not to be able to use the chat. They are NOT banned from the main site.

There's quite a bit more in the new one, including an ACP module. You have to uninstall version 1.0.0 first which involves downloading it, there's an uninstall script in the package. I didn't need to uninstall the file edits for it though. Then just overwrite the old files with the new 2.x.x files, run the sql script and do the few file edits and it should be up to date.

Can you give me a bit of an idiots guide of how you did it? I tried it but most of the admin configs do now work. Seems i will need to start it again since i get "Failed to update general configuration for ChatSpot" which the CMOD seems a bit insecure at 777 (The Authors forum says this) But still nothing. i cannot even figure out how to manually edit the Config php file

did you first dl ver.1.0.0 and run the uninstall? This will remove the existing db entries so the new install .script can add the proper entries

I deleted the chatspot folder and used the db unistall. Then i uploaded the chatspot folder in the newer version and ran the manual db install. Still nothing. As i said, a bit of an idiots guide for Integramod would be helpfull, since it is a bit different (And better) then phpbb2.
