[ABD] AJAX Chat/Shoutbox MOD 2.0.0 Beta 8

[i101]

I am trying to install the AJAX Chat for my board that uses the Echotech Design.. Therefore I followed the instructions until the point where it says:

Open: styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html

I opend:

Code: Select all

/phpbb3/styles/Echotech/template/overall_header.html

and searched for

Code: Select all

<a href="{U_FAQ}" title="{L_FAQ_EXPLAIN}" class="icon-faq">{L_FAQ}</a>

but instead I found this:

Code: Select all

<li class="icon-faq"><a href="{U_FAQ}" title="{L_FAQ_EXPLAIN}">{L_FAQ}</a></li>

I guess this is the same? Or am I wrong? If not I followed the Instruction and added before:

Code: Select all

			<li><a href="{U_CHAT}" onclick="popup(this.href, 750, 500); return false;"{L_CHAT_EXPLAIN}" class="icon_members">{L_CHAT}</a>&nbsp;
			<a href="{U_FAQ}" title="{L_FAQ_EXPLAIN}" class="icon-faq">{L_FAQ}</a></li>

.

Unfortunately nothing changed, the board can be loaded without Problems. But there also aint no Chat.
Any advice on what has gone wrong?

Edit: Ok I checked it double and it works for the Prosilver Theme. Only flaw is that there is no icon in the linklist AND no avatars inside the chat. Now I gotta make it work for the Echotech Theme shomehow.

Big THANK YOU to the dev!

Code: Select all

<li><a href="{U_CHAT}" onclick="popup(this.href, 750, 500); return false;"{L_CHAT_EXPLAIN}" class="icon_members">{L_CHAT}</a>&nbsp;

The reason there isn't an image with that is that Handyman misspelled the class name. It should be this:

Code: Select all

class="icon-members"

Instead of this:

Code: Select all

class="icon_members"

Also, if the chat isn't showing up on your index page, clear your cache.

It works mate! Thank you. Do you maybe know how to show Avatars too?

[kmklr72]

I don't think anyone has created the ability to have avatars in the chat. I don't think it would take too much code to achieve this effect though.

[i101]

Oh.. I didnt know this. On page 119 Edgar Davis said:

2. How do you remove avatars?

Thats why wondered where my "avatars" left . Last Question I hope you or anyone else can answer me..
How can I it possible that the Chatlog gets delated, as soon nobody is in there anymore? I noticed that guests can read everything what has been written. Or am I wrong here?

[kmklr72]

He might have coded them in or someone coded them in. They don't come default in the chat, unless you are thinking about smilies, which do appear in the chat. The quote from jimcarrel backs me up on this one:

Avatars? how did you get them in the chat,,, just remove the code

As for the messages being deleted, I think they get deleted after 75 or so (no idea, just taking a guess). You can add some code to the template file to make it so guests can't see the chat. Here is how you would do that:

In chat_body.html, before:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_GET_CHAT -->

Add:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->

And after:

Code: Select all

<!-- ENDIF -->

(the last one in the file) Add:

Code: Select all

<!-- ENDIF -->

For Avatars in chat:

In chat_body.html

Code: Select all

<dt>{chatrow.USERNAME_FULL}</dt>

Add after

Code: Select all

									<!-- IF chatrow.USER_AVATAR -->
										<dd>{chatrow.USER_AVATAR}</dd>
									<!-- ENDIF -->

x 2 times

In chat.php
Replace

Code: Select all

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM ' . CHAT_TABLE . ' ORDER BY message_id DESC';

with

Code: Select all

		$sql = 'SELECT c.*, u.user_avatar, u.user_avatar_type, u.user_avatar_width, u.user_avatar_height
				FROM ' . CHAT_TABLE . ' as c, ' . USERS_TABLE . ' as u
				WHERE c.user_id = u.user_id
				ORDER BY message_id DESC';

Find

Code: Select all

if ($count++ == 0)

Add before

Code: Select all

			$row['avatar'] = ($user->optionget('viewavatars')) ? get_user_avatar($row['user_avatar'], $row['user_avatar_type'], $row['user_avatar_width'], $row['user_avatar_height']) : '';

Find

Code: Select all

'USERNAME_FULL'	=> clean_username(get_username_string('full', $row['user_id'], $row['username'], $row['user_colour'], $user->lang['GUEST'])),

Add after

Code: Select all

				'USER_AVATAR'	=> $row['avatar'],

That should be good

Reading the Chat log aint anymore available, thank you a lot. Regarding the Avatars I get the following Error message:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_avatar() in /is/htdocs/wp1121944_FR9CFXW6W0/www/phpbb3/chat.php on line 67

Please help ... I am following all the install instructions but still getting this error. I edited the two noted files with notepad. Thank you for any help. :~)

That error is showing that the get_user_avatar function isn't defined, which means it doesn't work as you very well know. I'm not sure if it is in the phpBB core, and if it is, I don't know which file it is in, and I don't have the time to take a look. Hopefully someone can help you with this problem.

Notepad is a very bad editor. It leaves BOM which causes errors on code execution. Might I recommend using Notepad++ as an editor. You should be able to open the file and re-save it without the BOM.

how do i add the chat box on viewforum instead on the index

[kmklr72]

how do i add the chat box on viewforum instead on the index

Somewhere in viewforum_body.html, add:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE chat_body.html -->

[alf007]

For get_user_avatar()

In chat.php

find

Code: Select all

include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

Add after

Code: Select all

include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_display.' . $phpEx);

In index_body.html, put <!-- INCLUDE chat_body.html --> before <!-- INCLUDE forumlist_body.html -->.
