mChat

[bbtestman]

Who has solved the problem with mchat AND internet explorer 7 en 8 ?
Because with opera and firefox members are displayed in the box and with IE7 OR IE8 not.

It seems theren are many problems with IE7 and IE8.
I refer to http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/0 ... teie7.aspx
Therefore I have searched this solution has been implemented. It is !
In styles\yourstyle\template\mchatbody.html is stated at line 6

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

So it should consider using IE8 like IE7, it doesn't do the job.
Trying

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="4" />

So it should consider using IE8 or IE7 like IE5 or 6, it doesn't do the job either.
I suspect the codelines in other php's are not well interpreted in IE7 or IE8.
So when THE PHP-lines will be leaded and ended with

<?php
phplines
?>

it should be interpreted well. Before making this complicated editing, I will like to know your opinion about this.

Furthermore the problem with quiting mchat when clicking on the minichat-button. I have resolved this by purging the internetcache of the browser IE8 and Firefox.
Now the chat will not logg off.
In Firefox all works well as it should be my choice. Firefox rocks

• No display of mchat when not logged in
  No display of mchat when logged in, but like the members-link there is a miniChat-link
  When using the miniChat-link, you enter in the exclusively page with miniChat and still be logged on.

I don't understand this part of the installation process

Under DIY Instructions:

1. Start the installation for database (only founder can run the mode): ./mchat.php?mode=install&code=7g4sgO62AN6MVMa

^ what does this mean? How do I do this? How do I start the installation for database? I'm a founder so I can run this mode, but I don't know how. Thanks in advance for the help.

--------------------------------- and also this part ------------------------------

3. Open file mchat.php and replace the secret code on your!

^ What do I replace the secret code with? What does it mean when it says "replace the secret code on your!" What does your! mean?

Hi Comm,

i don't know if this has been answered yet. i got mchat to work, but i still would like to know how this works...

Also i would be interessted in the aspect of security. how does mchat access my database - when i try to protect mchat.php via .htaccess - like the config.php file - it won't work anymore

is this "code" which is written into the mchat.php ONLY for install and deinstalling the mchat programm? could it do other harm to my DB ?

thanks for any information on this ...

cheers

I did the mChat mod and had to replace the overall_header file as it would not load. replaced it with stock and made the mChat mods. Now for some reason when I go to my forums home page in the browser it says "untitled document". How do I get it to say the name of my forum????



Also, I followed the install for the mChat mod, haven't tried it out yet, but I don't like it in the header. How to I reverse what I did, what do I need to remove, and how do I move it to the footer???? Thanks!!


Oh, also mini chat is showing up when I am a guest. How do I get it to show for ONLY PRIVATE MEMBERS, which is a new group I made for those in private boards. I do not want guests or even registered users to view it. Thanks!!!

[bbtestman]

At http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1758615

I found a new version of mChat version 1.3.0
In this thread it seems one not know of the new mChat, looking at the dates';)
Does this version solves all problems encountered with mChat 1.26 ?
If so, I change the version.
Thanks all for your support.

[TheMorpheus2000]

And yes, it should be newer, and better. I didn't test it yet, will do within the next days...

Where do i upload it to

and which files do i upload

Why are there never any instructions with mods, its like you have to be psychic

[OttoSV]

Is there a real answer to use the chat as shoutbox??

I read that I had to put the code <!-- INCLUDE mchat_body.html -->
into overall_header.html, I did but I get the next error....

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8883 bytes) in /home/urbanxcc/public_html/phpBB3/includes/functions_template.php on line 103

Do I have to remove this line on index_body.html? to make it work on overall_header?

Could someone please help me?

PS: What I want, is to have mChat as a shoutbox, to appear on every page my users visit. I used before Ajax Chat but couldn't make it work with ProSilver templates.

[muggins]

Do you realize that including the mChat on every page will increase the load on your server a great deal?

AJAX chat is much friendlier, but requires some edits to your board that you may have missed. I'm using both: mChat as a shoutbox, and BlueImp's mod as a full-blown chatroom.

If you're unfamiliar with editing the base code there are some very good how-tos here, but it sounds like your host's memory limitations on your account may be the beast you're trying to slay.

How many mods do you use already? Post a link to your board, please?

[OttoSV]

Do you think putting mChat on all pages can increase the server load? more than ajax chat? Why is that?


I have a few mods, I can't even remember
The link is http://urbanxcc.com/

The mods I can tell right now:
-Prime Links
-Prime Cuote (Even though it doesn't work 100%)
-I believe my portal (Portal XL) has integrated a few more.

Check the forum and let me know. I don't know if it will be a problem the fact that I don't let access guests, but let me know if you find out something.

Thanks in advance

Please help! What does this step mean?

1. Start the installation for database (only founder can run the mode): ./mchat.php?mode=install&code=7g4sgO62AN6MVMa

Is there a way to change the notification sound?

[stokerpiller]

Is there a way to change the notification sound?

Yes, find another swf sound file and upload it to the mchat folder.
