Doesn't seem to work with 1.08
I keep getting the error page coming up..
"cannot make new instance of chat..."
ALSO how do I e-mail all 'students' from within moodle ?

No, unfortunately that chat module doesn't work in 1.0.8 - I had to change too much database stuff.
You email all students using the news forum.
You email all students using the news forum.
With the advert of 1.0.8 there's a couple of changed configuration files needed for the chatarea module. These mods allow the chatarea tables to be prefixed.
The two files are
moodle/mod/chatarea/phpmychat/config/config.lib.php
moodle/mod/chatarea/phpmychat/lib/chatparams.lib.php
They're in the attached zip file. Copy the zip file into the moodle directory and unzip it, that should put the new files into the correct places.

I tried it and got
Warning: Failed opening 'C:\Archivos de programa\EasyPHP\www\moodle/mod/chatarea/version.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\Archivos de programa\EasyPHP\php\pear\') in C:\Archivos de programa\EasyPHP\www\moodle\lib\moodlelib.php on line 1195
That look's like a permissions problem. Check that the web server can get into the chatarea directory and read the files there. version.php is there, it's only got a couple of real lines. The web server also needs to read the chatarea/myphpchat directory and down into the subdirectories held there.
(On a window's box it's the IUSR_server_name user (I think). That user needs read access on all these directories and files.)
Hope this helps

Hi.
I am running 1.0.8.1 (2003011200) and I get the "Could not add a new instance of chatarea" even after I replaced the two files.
I've even removed and re-installed the entire chat-module (and removed the chatarea* tables and the chatarea entry in the modules table)...
Any ideas?
Edited: Works after renaming the tables to "mdl_chatarea*" instead of just "chatarea*" Whee!
Edited 2: Uhm, gives an invalid SQL error. I really don't think the table setup is correct, even in the chatarea108.zip...

Hi all,
I have the following error when I try to create a Chat Area:
"Could not add a new instance of chatarea"
I chowned chatarea directory to web server, but the errpr remains the same. I installed both files sent by Ray too.
Thanks for help and greetings from Chile

I can't help much with chatarea, but I'd really like a decent PHP programmer to volunteer some help with the new chat module based on ARSC:

Several have promised but nothing has come of it so far.
