Need help

[Mouja]

Hello!
I don't know where to ask, so I basically just ask here.

I want my site to contain an "chat-room" can I make one me self? Do I make it in HTML, then? Can anyone post how to do (or refer to an site where it says how to)?


It must be an simple chat-room, first somewhere you can inscribe your name, then chat with that name!

Do a search on "Chat Rooms" or "Forums" There are many that you can subscribe to free. You only need to put their logo and a small bit of code in your page, as a link, and you have a chat room that you manage.

[Mouja]

Yeah, but almost every one of them has an different look... That's not what I want, I want it to look like my page...

And no forum, an chat :)

[jdavia]

Some of them you can modify the looks of the cover page to match yours. but the rest will be their look. To make your own chat room will require a lot of pages and work. Also web space. You can do a search for "How to make a chat room" too!

Got some URL's for me then? To somewhere where from I can get an free chat?

Search for "How to make a chat room" ?? how and where?



But I rather make my own, if someone could help me with how to do... :)

If you insist. But I don't think you can if you don't want do a search yourself. Good Luck

You will need a lot more than HTML. Are you familiar with ASP, PHP, CGI, OR Perl for serverside scripting.
Do a search on "Chat Rooms" or "Forums" There are many that you can subscribe to free. You only need to put their logo and a small bit of code in your page, as a link, and you have a chat room that you manage.
I would second this opinion.

Go to google.. and search "How to make a chat room"

No... but I can learn!
Just tell me howto make one or do I learn that when I learn ASP or someithing?





I know.. I'm an newbie!!

[Nedals]

OK....Just tell me how to make one
Just like that!!!!
Step 1. Find out what backend scripting you are allowed to use (ASP,Perl or PHP). Call your service provider.
Step 2. Download a chatroom script (compatible with your script language) from one of the site listed in your 'google' search.
Step 3. Get youself a book on the scripting language.
Step 4. Study this script to see how it works.
Step 5. Rewite the script so it works with your site.
Step 6. Come back here to ask for help once you've got some partial code to work with.!!
OR study jdavia's first post! :-)

[Mouja]

Okay... sounds like a lot of work... a lot of work

its not just asp eather you need to check to see if your host supports asp and that if they do they allow you to use a global.asa otherwise it is going to be a bit tough to make a good chat room. I would look for free chat service at a place like bravenet or I think there is something about it on goodies because it is definatly server side and can tend to be a bit tricky... but then again im new to asp.net.
