Note: This feature is available only with VolanoChatPro.
VolanoChatPro allows you to have large events with moderators, guests, and an audience. The events are held in chat rooms called auditoriums. An auditorium is divided between its moderators and guests, which are on stage, and all other participants, which are in the audience. Chat messages from audience members are sent only to moderators on stage, who may then select questions for the guest from among those submitted by the audience.
The moderators and guests on stage are visible by name in the chat room window. The names of those in the audience are not displayed, but an active count of all the people in the auditorium is available as an option on the chat room menu. You can have as many people in your auditorium as your VolanoChatPro license allows. (Moderators and Guests count toward your connection limit.)
Moderators and guests enter the auditorium through the stage
entrance, denoted by VolanoChat applets with the stage
parameter set to true. You define the stage entrance
through the VolanoChatPro server entrance.stage property.
For example, you can restrict the stage entrance to a particular part of
your Web site by defining entrance.stage to be a URL
prefix, such as a particular directory under your domain name.
The auditorium chat room is created dynamically when either a
moderator or a guest enter on stage. By default, it is eventually
removed from the server automatically when all the guests and moderators
leave the stage. You can ensure that all event auditoriums remain in the
server once they are created by setting the VolanoChatPro server
property auditoriums.permanent to true.
See the Server Properties section for details about the auditorium access and creation properties. You can refer to the VolanoChat Auditorium page of your own VolanoChat installation for examples of the moderator, guest, and audience forms of the VolanoChat applet.
