AjaxChat Integration (latest version 3.2.1)

[TurtleKicker]

Quick question:

I have an older version (1.2.2) of this mod installed in my forum, and due to numerous manual edits it will not uninstall cleanly in order to upgrade. Honestly though I have no issues with the version I'm running (plus I'll get the latest version once I upgrade to SMF2 final)... however I'd like to have that feature where it displays the number of users in the chat up next to the tab. I figured it'd be easier to hack in this one feature than going through the chaos and hassle up upgrading the whole mod and manually editing several files for extra features I don't need.

Having some trouble, though, and am hoping there's a simple fix. Here's the code I tried in my index.template.php:

Code Select Expand

// the [chat] button
$chatPath = str_replace("index.php", "chat/index.php", $scripturl);
$num = count(chatOnlineUsers());
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo $context['browser']['is_ie4'] ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '', '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back">
<a href="', $chatPath, '" target="_blank" title="Chat">', '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/chat.png" border="0" />', ($num > 0) ?  ('('.$num.')') : '' , '</a></td>';

However, this fails and stops displaying content after the chat tab. Is there anyone who can help me out?

Greets all,

I have tried to install Ajax Chat Integration 3.2.1 mod onto 2.0 RC3 and I receive the following warning:

"The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."

According to documents, the two are compatible. I have downloaded several copies, all give the above warning when installed.

What is your advice as to how I should handle this?

Best regards,

Lou

Hi,
Thanks for the Chat integration. Is it possible to place the chat below all the categories?

Thanks

What version of SMF? If SMF 2 then read this http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=257973.msg2107351#msg2107351

I managed to set up a button on each forum to open the chat to the proper channel automatically.

I have a question now which (I hope) is easier to answer.
According to the sourceforge page on setting custom moderators:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ajax-chat/index.php?title=Custom_moderators_and_admins
the forum admins become chat admins, and forum moderators become chat moderators in the forum integration versions of the chat.

However, when a forum moderator becomes a chat moderator, they can moderate ALL channels. I'm wondering if there is a way to restrict them being moderators to just the forums they moderate.

Thanks

I Haven't messed around with this too much but are they Global Mods? If so then they will probably be able to Moderate all the Channels as well. Try to create test account as a local Moderator and give them permission to moderate a certain board and see if it gives them permission to moderate just that channel or all channels as well?

an idea for a "mod" for this chat that would make it even more awesome,
have a "nudge" function.. it would liek like this.
*say i wanted to talk to someone but there not lookin at the chat, just lookin at the posts and abut to go offline after
*I could type /nudge /personsname/
*a popup would display telling them they have been nudged

OR something like that. would it be possible?

Not sure if this helps but here is a little info on how to add IRC Style Commands, this is just an example of 1 custom command but maybe someone that knows how to code can get what you like, possibly ask at Source Forge as that's where the developers of AJAX Chat hang out.

@ sremick

I don't even see the link to your chat button? What's the URL to the site you're trying to get this working on?

I've already done that. A moderator of one forum can moderate all chat channels. They become chat admins by default. I can't even find where to make them just chat moderators, instead of admins. That page says this is only done in the integrated version.

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I am using version 1.1.1.1.

@ Abavagada
I'll have to take a look when I get some time.

@ rajeshn
Sorry about that, that is how to do it for 1.1.1X as well

The site is the one in my sig. Chat button only appears for logged-in/registered users. Right now I haven't applied the code I posted since it broke things.

I don't really understand PHP all that well so I was hoping I was just making a simple error in the code I posted that someone could identify.

[brion]

Here is an image of what I mean, the top links like profile, search, home, etc. Would show number of users in chat.

That should be a default feature for AJAX Integration.

In your Forums Admin Enable online chat users numbering on chat   button?

For SMF 1.1.X Admin/Configuration/Features and Options/
For   SMF 2 RC1  Admin/Configuration/Modifications/Chat/

Ok I found out the button was unchecked, however it didn't fix it. Here is the two coding places for my chatroom button. I added it manually.

Code Select Expand

<link rel="chatroom" href="/chat/index.php" target="_BLANK" />

Code Select Expand

if ($context['allow_search'])
    echo '<li', $current_action == 'search' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search">' , $txt[182] , '</a></li>';
    echo '<li', $current_action == 'gallery' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">Gallery</a></li>';
    echo '<li', $current_action == 'chatroom' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="/chat/index.php" target="_BLANK">Chatroom</a></li>';
    echo '<li', $current_action == 'game' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="game.php">Game</a></li>';

You're missing the code that allows you to show the # of user in chat on the chat button in your index.template.php file.
Find

Code Select Expand

echo '<li', $current_action == 'chatroom' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="/chat/index.php" target="_BLANK">Chatroom</a></li>';
Replace with

Code Select Expand


   // the [chat] button
   $chatPath = str_replace("index.php", "chat/index.php", $scripturl);
   $num = (empty($modSettings['enableChatButtonNo'])) ? 0 : count(chatOnlineUsers());
   echo $context['browser']['is_ie4'] ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '', '
      <li class="chosen">
         <a href="', $chatPath, '"', empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']) ? 'target="_blank"' : ' onclick="openWindow(this.href);this.blur();return false;"', '>', $txt['chat'], ($num > 0) ?  ('('.$num.')') : '' , '</a>
      </li>';

Attach your index.template.php file if that doesn't work.

It now says Chat and link works, but still has no numbers or users online. Attached is the file.
