The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

For along time i've looking for good Joomla chat component. Finally i've one with BlastChat, very nice component.

But just curious, is it safe when the admin panel in my backend is framed directly to your server?

The product speaks for itself. It works and works very well. Aside from that, support is for "dummies like me" when it comes to this stuff! I am beyond green and a newbie at this and I discovered the username I was communicating with in the Forum was actually the developer himself! I had to exasperate him and after I could not do what he gave instruction-by-instruction to do, the man corrected the problem by making the corrections in the code and reposted a zip file.

It politely said it was for people having trouble editing files. It was for dummies like me, in this area. I'm rather bright otherwise.

Thanks for a great chatroom for my site. I hope you get tons of business/ads by it being there! I recommend it to anyone desiring a chatroom on their website. Your visitors will have a BLAST chatting!

This Chat is great and I think it is also very fast. Easy to install, configure and to manege. This is what we need.

Thanks + Regards

This was so easy to integrate and set up. Very manageable the admin backend is great and easy to work with, and the template support is phenominal. To top it off, the dev pops in and helps with problems and is very knowledgeable. Love it!

A great component/module.
And a so helpful developer! A great thanks to him.

Eagerly waiting for a fully compatible Joomla 1.5 release(works with 1.5 but not all features available even if the main one, to chat, is).

If you need chat on your site, you need blastchat. I've tried many different chat clients and this one stands alone. Thank you for this essential part of my site!

i enjoyed the speed of which you can chat away with people and fellow GM's , very easy to use ...Thnx Ash P

This is a very nice component, it have a very easy configuration and all you need is to register yourself in the site to have the server ready... also good forums help... i thisk this is a very nice and good component.
Thanks a Lot my friend!

As a newbie I have been stumbling my way through developing my first joomla based website - so far tested 4 chat programs and for me this is the only one that worked as advertised (and one of only 2 that worked at all for me!).

It has all the features I need - installation was a breeze it uploaded and installed first time.

Unlike some I didnt find the configuration terribly easy ..... but then as I said I AM a neewbie - and i did find it ! So thats probably a credit to the designer :)

Personally I regret the lack of documentation - its not really needed I guess as the program is easy. But it would have made a big difference to my confidence in installing and configuring.

Although there are no docs I had a couple of questions - posted them in the support forum and got an answer from the developer same day ! Fantastic support especially as this software is provided free to the user!!!!

In terms of cosmetics the interface is fairly basic which seems to be a common thing but it does contain all the basics one really needs.

I would have no hesitation reccomending blast chat - if there is a better free / reasonably priced joomla chat component out there then I didnt find it !

Very nice product.
Last build improved the performance drastically.

Cheers.

The mere fact that I have to enable the chat applet in a public menu withholds me from even trying. Running a closed club site I'm not able to comply. Pitty though seems like a real nice program.

I downloaded this chat component but I quickly remove it as it does not run in your server but in theirs. You have to open an accound, etc...
I keep using phpopenchat... even if it is not integrated.

We are a very busy advocacy website for domainers and webmasters and Blast Chat has been terrific. As with anything else there are some little bugs, but the admin showed up and worked those out behind the scenes.

At any given time throughout the day we have 20-50 members in the chat room constantly.

Thank you for this wonderful addon component to Joomla.

I had a difficult time figuring this out at first. After reading the help forums at the blastchat site and here at Joomla! I stumbled my way through it.

It is working very well so far. Plus it is fast for my site. Excellent! Good work guys!

I appreciate the hard work and the bandwidth given for this purpose. I am proud to have a link back to the creator's site, but users say the banner is too loud and distracting. It is the first extension that I have found with such a banner.

Even so, it does not keep me from using this well put-together component and module.

Thanks again!

I just installed this component. It was simple, error free, and blends very well with my site. The configuration could be organized a bit better, but I can't complain--it has every option that I need.

It's files are organized fairly well so you can quickly locate areas of code that you'd like to hack if you so desire.

And it's all FREE! The component, modules, and registration with BlastChat. Fabulous!

It was one of the few chat programs that installed easily and seemed to work well. Unfortunately the use was for a child accessible site rather than for adults and without being able to limit rooms it had to be removed. The site also may have wanted in the future to earn some small income and this is what they classed as commercial. Good program though.

This is perfect chat component for joomla.It is not using your system so no load problems on your server.It hasnt got some features but they will publish a new version of this component.

I tried this, very easy to set up in joomla and configure. The developer is very helpful as well. Great chat tool.

Very nice and easy install component... And know available with turkish Language Pack... Wauuuuw ;) King Regards...

I installed BlastChat yesterday and have pretty much come to terms with how to use it. It is a very simple programme to install and configure, I didn't encounter any problems at all. All I can say is I absolutely loved this programme. It does exactly what I want it today and I have already had visitors joining for a chat. If you want to chat room then this is the one to go for. I even had a member of the support team come to my chat room and offer help which really did make a difference to the luck of my chat room.. check this extension out, I think you will really like it
