Fantastic Joomla 1.5 Shoutbox!

I personally have been using a shoutbox on my club website for quite some time now.

This site is 1.x Joomla site that has been up for little over a year. I have done many changes \ updates throughout that year. This little, simple shoutbox has been performing flawless for that entire time. It is simple to use and has low overhead.

So I have been doing a little research on upgrading that site to Joomla 1.5 and ran across this POST at Compassdesigns.  This made the shoutbox part of the upgrade easy as they have a 1.5 version in beta! PERFECT!

Check out below to see the list of features.

New features:

• Add tag to guest posters e.g. [guest_8374]
• Possible to delete messages if you are logged in as admin
• Smilies support is back!
• Simple spam protection
• Possible to change the colors for the fade effect through module parameters
• Language support, default only en-GB is installed

As for the bugs fixes:

• Last post time is displayed even after refresh
• Possible to post if javascript is disabled
• If you hover over a name the time is displayed the message was posted
• and more…

Be sure to check out this shoutbox by RISP if you want to include some basic communication in you 1.5 Joomla website.
