This is a very nice and powerful component/module.
It has everything to be used as a chat.
Only downside I can see is that it's quite hard to get your way through its Spanish homepage if you don't understand a word of Spanish.

Hi,
You can change the language of the site (http://www.jonijnm.es/web/change-language.html). Post a message in kunena is easy, other people have posted in english. But what about the com, did you vote it?
Thanks for the review :-)
I have tried to install 2 other shoutboxes, the other wouldn't fit in well to my site, and the other just didn't look so good... anyway, when I installed this one, which was so EASY, (I'm really new to Joomla, you know so it really helped!), I immediately liked it! It looked so nice! I loved all the colors, and the smilies, and all that. Not really perfect I guess, but the best one I found!
Just one question I'm concerned about, will I not get SPAMMED because of not having captcha? 'Cause again I'm saying, I'm quite new to this. Thanks in advance. And thanks a lot to the developer. Thumbs up!!!

There is not spam by bots because there is not a submit botton. To send a message you need press the botton enter. But maybe I will add captcha, in the next version :)
Finally I can find a good extension for my new website e-earning.net. Thank God! Oh sorry thank to team who build this extension. :D
To the creator of this Kide Chat, I just want to say, "Thank you!" I have tried, realistically, five or six others with no avail. Either ran into an ajax problem or they were extremely slow.
This loaded and ran great immediately. Your help message about needing to load the component was very helpful, as well.
I am definitely going to "Donate."
One question...How do I get rid of the buttons above chat module box. I do not want to let people change/leave/power on/off/options/history, etc.?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kent,
The buttons are in the file:
- (module) mod_kide/tmpl/default_botones.php
- (component) com_kide/front/views/kide/tmpl/default_botones.php
One line is a button
After I have tried several shoutboxes this one seemed best. Posibility to connect to CB, ability to use in a separate window, sound notifications.
The only thing that could be improved is the orange margin, a posibility to be changed in the backend to change the color can't be difficult to include. And the option to set the default writing color.Maybe I don't want users to change chat color, rather i will select the color for the chat.
Other than that.. absolutely great component

This is a great tool for our community Website. Thanks for this.
My only comment is that there is a typo in the "last message" line at the top of the shoutbox. When the Last message was 1 Hour or more ago, the line reads "Last Message: 1 dour and 15 minutes. It should read 1 hour (not dour)
Thanks again for this great Shoutbox - keep up the good work!

this shoutbox is the one that works for me, I love it. If I can suggest: the way to make it perfect is to make it remember if the sound is on or off when a user turns site page.
Thank a lot.
Thank a lot.

The status of the sound is saved in a cookie (kide_config), so Kide remembers it :)
I tried all the shoutboxes listed, and I must say that this was the best in respect to errors encountered and functionality.
Only one thing I would like extra. The option to have an audio alert each time someone added a shout.
If it had this it would be excelent, according to my taste.

Added in the v0.5.1 :-)
The component works great and the creator was kind solving a little problem the chat has.
I love the shoutbox although it doesnt work with internet explorer. When I open the page it says internet explorer cannot display page, operation aborted. I researched for this error and its caused by java script. It is easily fixed by adding a code to the java script tags. Also the orange color scheme doesnt work with a lot of templates so you should add an option to customize color schemes. The smiley buttons and icons on top of shout box look bad in dark template backgrounds. Minor bugs but in all its a great shoutbox.

Can you send me an e-mail or use my forum to ask you some questions? Thanks
I really like the look of this component/module. If I can get it working it will fill a part of the site the users have been on me about for a while. (a good shoutbox that opens into a larger chat window if you want it to).
I am currently having problems where it doesn't allow me to post multiple words. It lets me post one word but as soon as I put in a space it causes a problem. There does seem to be a lack of English support, I've contacted the developer via email and hope for some assistance.
