toksta provides highly scalable instant messenger and chat solutions for online communities such as social networks, dating sites and forums. All applications are hosted by toksta and offer a rich design customization.

Integrate the toksta IM in less than 5 minutes and increase user engagement and time on site. Excite your community.

Steps to Install:-

1. Register an account with toksta - Add Application (Add Site) - Select Free Plan - Note the App ID and App Password

2. Upload toksta_controller.html to the root of your domain. The file must be available through www.your-domain.com/toksta_controller.html afterwards.

3. Import the Product -> go to vBulletin Option Settings -> Instant Toksta Chat -> enter your App ID and App Password and Enable the product.

4. Edit your footer template and add this at the very end:-

HTML Code:

<!-- Toksta Chat -->
<if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 8)">
<script type="text/javascript">
var TOKSTA_CONFIG = {
    app_id : "$tk_app_id",
    user_id: "$tk_user_id",
    user_hash: "$tk_hash",
    user_data: "$tk_user_data",
    generated : "1240098757",
    im : {
        advanced_search : ["gender","age","city","country","single"]
    },
    chatbar : {
        showUserData : ["gender","age"]
    }
};
</script>
<script src="http://embed.toksta.com/embed/toksta.js" type="text/javascript"></script></if>
<!-- End Toksta Chat -->

Steps to Uninstall:-

1. Uninstall the Product.

2. Remove the Toksta Chat code from the footer template that you added in Step 4.

Pros:- Looks cool, can bring some fun | No bandwidth, server usage as everything is hosted on their server.

Cons:- Not for everybody as it may bring down forum activity | Currently only Mozilla Firefox is supported but they are constantly upgrading their code so all browsers should be supported very soon.

FAQ:-

a) Should work for all 3.X version of vBulletin.
b) To disable chat for certain usergroups, simply edit the conditional part in the Step 4 code. Also note that I have already disabled chat for Guests and Banned usergroup (1 and 8).
c) If the chatbar doesn't show up - Make sure you have enabled the product (its disabled by default), and confirm your App ID and App Password.
d) About load - just 1 small global plugin, 0 queries.
e) Don't ask for a Demo please as I don't have one. It would take a minute to install this and test yourself.
f) Also check out the paid plans at their site if you are interested in a lot of customizations and higher limits. Free plan is very basic but sufficient for most of us.
