Similar princiapl, I have a hidden frame which refreshes every x seconds checks if ther have been any new posts since the last refresh and updates the HTML in the main chat window if there are. If you saw my code, though, you wouldn't be that impressed!  Which is the reason I haven't released it as a mod!

Wow build your own that's impressive. Is your's real time or does it work on the same principal as CC? As for what I'm looking for, I've searched here and over at Theill's forum but found nothing ... I guess Ill just continue with the trial and error thing :)< |

Built me own while we looked into the various alternatives and ended up just sticking with. Not too familiar with CC so I can't be of much help there. A search of these forums, though, should bring up a rake of topics about it and you'll also find the CC forums themselves of use.

Just an update on the thumbnail thing. Tried a few free scripts out there plus the one in the photoalbum mod, somehow though I decided on a .net framework script. I haven't had time to really test it live yet but I think it should work OK, it tests great locally. Ill provide the URL for testing once I've uploaded it.
What I really need help with though is the chat side of things. As I have no cash to spend... (story of my life :)) I'm going with ConquerChat.I downloaded the latest v 4.4 and 99% of this is now done but what's really setting me back is passing a few snitz variables over to the users window. I'm trying to integrate them within the conquer chat session but for a day now I've been chasing my tail.... :)
For example I'm trying to get it open the snitz profile display page instead of the chat one. Another thing is gender icons.
Another one (if I have time) is to continue a topic in chat.
Has anyone got something like this done? I mean passing variables into the Chat session ie users.snitzid or users.gender etc...
Oh and Shaggy if you happen to read this, can you tell me which chat program did you go with?

Sure, Ill be testing a few live hopefully in the next few days.
Will let you know the results.
At the moment I'm working on the extensive search page and as for the thumbnails tossing between having same name thumb but in a different folder or adding an extension to the filename and having it the the same folder... I think I am opting for the second method. It would be easier to manage in the long run. Plus also making space for a private Gallery.
Once these three parts are done, then it's the chat and it's ready of uploading ... Here's hoping that something good will come out of this He he

Ticking over nicely, think we're going to start with the U.K. and expand from there.
Let me know what you come up with on the thumbnailing side of things as we've been looking into a few different solutions here as well, but haven't taken it too far as yet.

Cheers Shaggy, I was away for a few days... call it a mini break :)
I am familiar with that menu and it's very good.
Anyway back to work now and on with the gallery side of things. Actually checking out the various solutions for "thumbnailing" (not sure that's a word he he:)) images. Got a few here and trying to find the fastest one.
P.S. Hows the global expansion plans going ?

Here you go
We're aware of the stiff competition we'll have over there (Aus' is just that wee bit bigger than our small isle, after all ) but we're confident we can make an imapct on the market.

 he he ... good to see you're going global.
but bare in mind there's some serious competition over here.
There's a couple of sites that seem to be the bees knees. Not only in membership but in coding too.
Actually one thing that grabs me from them is nifty piece of code they have for their Java Menu. You know the problem with select fields disappearing or appearing in front of the menu.
well they have something that replaces the actual select field with simple text field so that the content remains on screen.
I am planning to research that side of things soon but if you have any ideas regarding that I would love to hear them

It sounds to me that we're on the same track trying to accomplish the same thing... for now though I think it's time for me to shut down for the night :)
Once again thanks mate and chat to you soon.< |

What I plan on doing when I have the time is creating two new tables (lets work with interests for now), the first one (INTERESTS) to hold the complete list of interests each with a unique identifier. The second table (MEMBER_INTEREST) would then have two fields, one for the MEMBER_ID and one for the INEREST_ID. Instead of an array of the items the visitor selected when searching, you'd just need a comma seperated list now. Working that way, the SQL staement would now look like this:
SELECT M.[FIELDS] FROM MEMBERS M,MEMBER_INERESTS MI WHERE [CRITERIA] AND MI.MEMBER_ID=M.MEMBER_ID AND MI.INTEREST_ID IN ("&selecteditems&")
That's all just in my head at the moment, though

Got it :) Thanks Shaggy.
Ive got about 2 fields with about 20 answers in each one and a few others with about 5.
Ill try this method and time it. I will also insert the actual fields in the table and try the normal way too and see which one is faster. I think it will be interesting.
If anyone on the other hand has done something like this please let us know as this will save me about half a days work and about 10 coffees ;)< |

No, you can do it all in one, single statement. If your initial statement is:
SELECT [FIELDS] FROM MEMBERS WHERE [CRITERIA]
Then just loop through the items selected by the visitor an append them on to that statement so you end up with something like:
SELECT [FIELDS] FROM MEMBERS WHERE [CRITERIA] AND "&selecteditem1&" IN (MY_FIELD) AND "&selecteditem2&" in (MY_FIELD)
