Hi,
am running Drupal 5.1 and installed Chat Room several times with the same results:
when i go to node add chatroom i see my introductory message that i added to chatroom content-type, but then below it is a list of all content types - not including chatroom.
All looks okay. no error messages. all tables added to database, however it seems that there should also be a content-type_chatroom table, but that has not been created.
What am i missing here?
Thank you!

darren ohChat Room does not create a CCK content type. The attached screenshot shows what you should see when you go to node/add.

gracearoha commentedDarren,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I was expecting to see something as you posted, but instead, when i go to node/add/chatroom this is what i see:

darren ohThe problem seems to be the result of some customization. That message is not part of the Chat Room module.
Comment #4
gracearoha commentedThe message at the top was put in by me simply be going to content types and editing the chatroom content type. But other than adding the message, i didn't change anything.
Am i not supposed to edit the chatroom content type?
or perhaps chatroom doesn't work with the CCK module? is that possible? is anyone using the two together?
Comment #5
gracearoha commentedI also tried hitting the re-build permissions button to see if that would do any good, but to no avail.
It seems that there should be a table built for "node_chatroom".
but i'm not a programmer so i am really having a difficult time understanding where to look to solve this problem.
Any bit of direction is much appreciated.

darren ohBecause I cannot reproduce this problem on other sites, fixing the problem would require troubleshooting service specifically for your site. Contact me directly if you would like to arrange this.
Comment #7
gracearoha commentedOkay, i figured out what the problem is. (what a bonehead!)
For any others who may be also using the add-on module to og called og content type admin.
This allows you to check off all the node types to be used site-wide as well as for individual groups.
Even though i was checking the box for chatroom, it was not allowing me to use this node inside or outside of groups. I simply removed it and voila! problem solved.
