I'm not sure there is something out there that will fit your requirements.  I've looked several times for ASP based chat systems.  There's not many "free" ones and they are all pretty clunky.  Even some of the paid ones are pretty unsophisticated.  Also, I don't think anyone has done some canned solution that would integrate into WebWiz forums without some significant programming.

If you do find one that fits the bill let me know.

Do a search as I have done it and it should still be on here somewhere. It only asks for a donation but isn't a requirement for download.

I've just integrated http://www.chat80.com/ - chat80 (basic version)(Requires free registration and you get 10 free licenses) into my forum as ASPChatNow wasn't working for me.

The button I used to initiate the chat I have has these additional arguments:
/client.aspx?user=username&room=roomname. There are also other switches for autologin but I didn't use it as you still can choose your avatar before logging on.

Addition to navigation_buttons_inc.asp

If lngLoggedInUserID <> 0 AND lngLoggedInUserID <> 2 AND
blnActiveMember <> "False" Then Response.Write
("&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=""#Chat_Window#""
onclick=""javascript:window.open('chat foldername/client.aspx?user=" & strLoggedInUsername & "&Room=default roomname you want as set in web.config"
&
"','ChatRoom','toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=1,width=1000,height=620')""class=""nav""
accesskey=""2""><img src=""" & strImagePath & "Image file.gif"" border=""0"" align=""absmiddle""/>Chat" & "</a>")


Works really well for my site.

Note: I also made a slight change to my client.aspx to hide the nick text area so it cannot be altered to any other name and logs you in with your forum logged on name.

Changes in RED (sorry it's all one line but that is the format of the file)

Hey ASP Chat80 is only for ASP.net users. Pls check.

Yes this is true that it is for .Net.

And that is a problem? Ermm Any decent host should have .NET support these days.

what do you say for Microsoft IIS. Even if you happen to have .NET support, then each and every virtual directory needs an application.. Tough job.

Not really. Just right click the folder, properties and to the right of the application name click create and OK. That's all I did.

OK I agree with you. What would you do if you use a server. I mean a host provider. Where will you access Inetmgr??

True. You would hope your host would do it for you. I host my own so have no problems waiting for someone else to do it.

Anyway Basic version works fine. But for the professional version I get an error message:

Did you buy the Pro version?. I am only using the free basic version.

Sorry I have no idea what the error means.

I just tried the PRO version on my laptop (Local) and got it to work but I had to add the local ASPNET account access to the database directory.
