..------=================================
Chatroom Button (crbutton)
Version 1.0

Author: Oskari Rauta/Jake Irons
-----------===============-------------..

Information: although this document says that it's designed and tested against SMF 1.1.2, it is compatible also with 1.1.3

WARNING: This is only a CHATROOM _BUTTON_, no chat is included with this.

What's new in 1.01?
===============---.
Critical update: no
Updated uninstallation procedure.

What is this?
=========---.
Special remake of MOD website button that adds a "Chatroom" button to left side of "Logout" or if logout is not shown(user is guest) chatroom will be last button.

This MOD was created because Adrian requested it.

To get more information check my MOD website button on this same site.

Can it be used to something else?
=============================---.
Ofcourse, if you need a button that is placed before logout or as last if user is not logged in to your forum (or hide button from guests), that opens URL to new window, then this is your MOD. Just edit language files and replace following images:
 - boarddir/Themes/default/images/english/chatroomButton.gif
 - boarddir/Themes/babylon/images/english/chatroomButton.gif

Button generator can be found from:
http://www.marcovanveelen.nl/buttongenerator/

What's different to website button?
===============================---.
 - Placing of button
 - This button opens target URL to new window
 - This MOD has 2 settings. Target URL and new setting: Guest access. Yes, you can choose whether to show or not show this button for your guests.

Can this mod be used WITH website button?
=====================================---.
Yes, variables are named differentially, so this MOD can be used simultaneosly with website Button just fine.

What themes are supported?
======================---.
Default/core and babylon.

What initial languages are supported?
=================================---.
English only. If you need support for another language, you need to do it your self.

I need another button image..
=========================---.
Create it then. There's free button generator that I used to create these at:
http://www.marcovanveelen.nl/buttongenerator/

What kind of chat is included?
==========================---.
No any kind of chat included. This is ONLY a button that fits nicely to smf forum view. You need to have other kind of solution for chat somewhere, just make this button to point to your chatroom.

Will you help me to create chatroom?
================================---.
No, I'm far too busy for help everyone out. But if you want to setup a irc to your site, check http://www.pjirc.com It's pretty nice java irc client and can be customized to blend nicely to smf view.. I recommend it..
