Adding a permanent online user?

[neoknight]

Hello again,

How can i add a permanent user to the chat? I need to add a permanent admin "dummy"/bot user to chatroom userlist, so that users think there is always someone moderating the chat, (unfortunaly people dont behave too well when they see there is no one to kick them)

There's no exisiting way, but it would be a nice add-on if you developed it.

Yeah, I would love a WelcomeBot on my chat

You can create a phpfreechat proxy to do this stuff but it needs some developments on your side...

[ninjaw]

we definitively need a bot for admin stuff

[jopiek]

well, how do we create bots then? I'm currently using phpfreechat for my graduation thesis to create an interactive learning environment, and I need to use bots for teaching tasks. I have experience creating bots for e.g. IRC.

You'll want to look into proxy's if you want to create a bot. We would love to see your completed work if you are willing to post it when you're finished.

Great idea!
