[DONE 1.5.1]Integrated Chat Mod Version 2.0

[brodle]

Thanks for the quick responses.  After the installation didn't work for me, I did go through and modify all the files (and double check) per the code in the mod file.  I manually inserted the lines of code into those files, but I am going to go back and concentrate on those files.

I have registered the room and such, (even made sure this time ) but it still doesn't show in my forums (the text part under the login name).  


Email me a copy of the code where the display scripts are. [email protected]

What room name did you choose?

Hey I got it working!!! Thanks for your responses and help.  Here is what I hard to finally do.  For what ever reason, I couldn't get the line in the Subs.php to work, so I just hardcoded it.

Original
$yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=chat;user=$euser\" target=_blank>$img[chat]</a>";

Modified  
$yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=chat;user=$euser\" target=_blank><img src=\"http://www.mysite.com/forums/YaBBImages/chat.gif\" alt=\"Chat\" border=\"0\"</a>";

What it was, is that I noticed when I would view source on the page, I would see where it was referencing the Chat but it would display the button, then I turned on the option for showing text instead of graphics menu, and it was there.  But I still couldn't figure out why the hell it wouldn't show the button like it should. I checked over my english.lng file several times, and I just couldn't see where I had anything wrong (I cut and paste from the mod file).  So maybe I gave up?  I just hard coded the line, and it works fine now.  I hope I didn't violate some kind of programmer's code of ethics?

Again thanks for your help.

Thx.

I hope this wasn't covered yet, but...

is there a way to integrate the login username within chat.php so it doesn't have to be called from the YaBB menu?  

In other words, I want to call the chat feature from a non-YaBB menu after the member has already logged in.

Thanks!

Anthony

The script that tells how many people are talking in the chat room stopped working on my site (http://www.duxcw.com/yabbse/index.php).  I didn't change the template.  The chat room still works.  Larry

The problem I have now is that guest can now use the chat room. Also, all you have to do is add the name of any member at the end ie ;action=chat;user=NAME. Then you can enter the chat with that name. NOT good if you ask me. You should only be able to access the chat if you are registered and logged in.

ok.. i just installed it, and, the javascript stuff to see the number of users online isn't working...

i have this:

Code Select Expand


<td valign=center bgcolor=#ffffff><font size="2"><yabb uname><yabb im><br /><yabb time><br /><br />Hay <script src="http://www.everywherechat.com/users.asp?room=apoteosis"></script> usuarios en el chat.<br /><script src="http://www.everywherechat.com/members.asp?room=apoteosis"></script>


and, it doesn't displays anything...

any ideas?

Is there anyway to make it so people in the irc server cannot access the chat room and visa versa people who use this chat room on my yabbse board cannot enter other irc chat rooms

[Fizzy]

To keep it private you can make the room secret ( most do ) in the room options and also rmeove the rooms tab that list the other chat rooms on the servers.

Hi Brodle,

Can you tell me how I can select "secret" please?
I do not have a "secret" or "private" option for my room at all but want to keep roaming guests out of the room.
If I select "members only" then some genuine members cannot get access to the chat room at all.

Then you can enter the chat with that name. NOT good if you ask me. You should only be able to access the chat if you are registered and logged in.

I had asked a similar question regarding this and figured it out myself.  A bit too easy of a fix it turned out to be.  =)

In Chat.php. line 10 is:

$user=urldecode($user);

Change it to:

$user = $username;

That works for me so far with no errors (only been testing it for an hour so far though).  But I logged in with a few different usernames in YaBB and the login usernames all passed through ok.

Hope this helps.

Cool.. let me try it.. thanks.

[DVS]

No problem.

I also added this before the previously mentioned $user line to kick out the Guests from chat:

if ($username == 'Guest') {
 header("Location: http://www.yoursite.com/notallowed.html");
 exit;
}

Works like a charm for me.  =)

Long vacation or what?  Where are you?  Is anyone going to answer this?  It's been over two weeks!  This problem also stops older versions of Netscape cold.  Stops them from using/displaying the forums.  Larry

finally... got the answer in the everywherechat.com chat.  Had the chatroom name wrong.  Don't know how that happened, but it must have happened when I upgraded to 1.5.4. Larry
