Flashchat and RC3

[adbrad]

Hi all
I'm testing out RC2 and i intergrated flashchat v5 with the forum.

I added a chat button by adding:

Code Select Expand

'chat' => array(
            'title' => Chat,
            'href' => $GLOBALS['boardurl'].'/chat/flashchat.php',
            'show' => true,
            'sub_buttons' => array(

To subs.php is there any thing i can add, to make the chat open up in a new window/tab.

Thanks in advance

Um, you seem to be missing a couple of lines there, actually.

Try:

Code Select Expand

'chat' => array(
'title' => Chat,
'href' => $GLOBALS['boardurl'].'/chat/flashchat.php',
'show' => true,
'target' => '_blank',
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

thanks arantor, that did the trick. is there anyway to get it to appear as an option on the drop down menu cheers

[Arantor]

Actually not with that code, that'll give you an error in the log because I didn't look fully at it.

Code Select Expand

'chat' => array(
'title' => 'Chat',
'href' => $boardurl . '/chat/flashchat.php',
'show' => true,
'target' => '_blank',
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

title needs to be a string rather than not in quotes at all. You also shouldn't need to reference $GLOBALS - $boardurl should be in scope at that point.

Thanks again Arantor i corected the codes and stopped giving a error in the log
how ever with out the $globals it throws an error saying url not found.

[Arantor]

Odd, I was sure $boardurl was in scope at that point but apparently not. In which case yes you would have to use $GLOBALS.

[adbrad]

thanks again Arantor it all seems to be working now. I also have duplicated the code under sub buttons and now users will have a choice as to wether they wanna open in new window or not.
will mark as solved.
thanks again.

so the code is

   'chat' => array(
      'title' => Chat,      
                                'href' => $GLOBALS['boardurl'].'/chat/flashchat.php',      'show' => true,      
                                'target' => '_blank',      
                                'sub_buttons' => array(      
                                ),
   ),

[adbrad]

so the code is

   'chat' => array(
      'title' => Chat,      
                                'href' => $GLOBALS['boardurl'].'/chat/flashchat.php',      'show' => true,      
                                'target' => '_blank',      
                                'sub_buttons' => array(      
                                ),
   ),

nope the secon line should be:

Code Select Expand

'title' => 'Chat',
otherwise you will get an error in error log
cheers

[nunk]

ok so its

'chat' => array(
        'title' => 'Chat',   
        'href' => $GLOBALS['boardurl'].'/chat/flashchat.php', 
        'show' => true,     
         'target' => '_blank',     
         'sub_buttons' => array(     
                                ),
   ),


where it says boardurl do i insert my site or leave the boardurl

[Arantor]

As above, leave that as-is.

[nunk]

and what do i add this under
as far as line and location?

[Arantor]

You find the code in Subs.php that looks very similar to that, that includes 'home' =>, and add it in after the entry you want to put the button after.

I can't give you a line number unless you're using a completely untouched RC2.

it is completly untouched

uploaded straight from smf files

[Arantor]

I still don't know where exactly you want it, or which button you want it after, so I'll just list all of them.

i cant find the sub.php folder 

[Arantor]

It's not a folder, it's a file. Sources/Subs.php.

[adbrad]

Ok could some one please tell me what files to edit and what code to use so the users in chat show up on the info centre on board index.

much appreciated.

[adbrad]

any one help with the above is there much coding difference between rc1.2 and rc2

[Arantor]

Under the hood, not especially. In the templates, a huge amount.
