Thanks in advance

Like this?

In root/chat/lib/template/loggedin.html:

Code: Select all

<body>
	<div id="content">
		<div id="headlineContainer">
			<h1>Sapo's Joint • Chat</h1>
		</div>

Nice one - that looks better with relevant text! Do you think it would be possible to put a logo in aswell/instead?

Lots!

I don't know what will work offhand, but post the snippet you tried, and we can tweak it.

Hi, I am not too knowledgeable at installing mods, but I did read the guide sticky on how to install them. I followed the instructions of this mod, everything is fine up to that point. I can see the chat and it looks great, I can use all the functions. The only part that nothing happens for, is that if I type something in it doesn't show up. I don't show up on the list of users in the room, but the logout button is there and I'm certain that I am logged in.

Question 1: Is the "Socket Server" info at the bottom something I need to do? If so, I'm gonna be lost as to how it gets done.

Questions 2: What else do I need to do, if anything, besides the 3 steps of installation? Note that I don't want the shoutbox, only the regular chat.

Thanks a ton in advance, if anyone could help me that would be great.

Bryce

Have you tried editing the lib/config.php with cookie session id ?

look on page 105 for more detail

cheers

Thanks Groovy, I just tried that, nothing changed though unfortunately.

As the chat screen is loading, I noticed some errors showing up then disappearing after a second. I took a screenshot of them as it was the only way to record them.

Any advice on what I need to do?

Hi,

PHP requires that you set a path where session data can be saved! If you have access
to the php.ini file on this server, please check the session.save_path setting, it should be equal
to your cgi-bin/tmp directory. Otherwise, contact your web host provider.

Regards

I'm not sure if I have access to my database, but if I did, would it be done through phpMyAdmin? I just downloaded the files for the program and it seems like a nightmare to install to someone like me that is bad with coding... great.

Even if I get this installed, where are the directions for setting the path? I didn't see them in the mod "readme".

Um, I was talking about access to the php.ini file, not to the database.
Regarding this, the session.save_path is either wrong or missing.

P.S. That's a server config issue and as such it has nothing to do with the AJAX Chat installation itself.
