AjaxChat Integration (latest version 3.2.1)

[planethax]

I am trying to follow the installation instructions for AjaxChat...the very first instruction is confusing:
.......

Where are they referring to?

Can you not install through Admin Panel and packages?
I had a hard time installing manually as well, once I did it through Admin Panel it worked perfect.
Just a thought.

IS there a way to not have the admin/site owner username show as Red in chat box?

All my Admins show in Red?

I believe the admins showing as red is standard.

Ok, I have 2 issues I need help with, both are very similar.

Ajax Chat is integrated into SMF and my SMF is integrated into PHPIzabi.

I also have the shoutbox (copy/pasted code into footer) on every page.

My first issue is, when I goto my site, I goto chat it will not let me access, I have to goto SMF forum page first, then to chat,
Similarly, when using shoutbox, the username does not show(shows just a number) until I visit SMF forum, then the username is there until session has expired.


I hope this makes sense and someone can help out with this.

Thanx so much!

ChatBot: Error: Connection status: 500

If you get a 500 Connection error you might have to set your file permissions as well.
There are 2 folder for the AJAX Chat Intergration Mod "Chat" and "Shoutbox".
For AJAX Chat Intergration Version 3 "Folders" be sure to change the file permissions (CHMOD) /chat/index.php and /shoutbox/index.php to 755

Take a look at the http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=257973.msg1981766#msg1981766
FAQ post, there is info about permissions and the 500 error i think

I am not even seeing a link to the chat room...I am only seeing the shout box at the top of the page.

Hey TheListener, did ya see my reply?

Were you able to customize your shoutbox?

I see many asking to change the shoutbox styles, I have been able to change the colors by editing
chat/css/shoutbox.css

I hope this helps

For those of us mortals who don't know much if anything about editing may I suggest you leave a post on what you did.

Just a thought.

Down at the bottom you see colors

just edit them,

here is mine so far, black background (black = 000000)
black even row, grey (EEEEEE) odd rows, just mess with it

Code Select Expand


/*
* Colors
*/

#ajaxChatContent #ajaxChatChatList {
color:#FFF;
}
#ajaxChatContent #ajaxChatChatList {
background-color:#000000;
}
#ajaxChatContent .rowEven {
background-color:#000000;
}
#ajaxChatContent .rowOdd {
background-color:#333333;
}
#ajaxChatContent .guest {
color:gray;
}
#ajaxChatContent .user {
color:#CCCCCC;
}
#ajaxChatContent .moderator {
color:#00AA00;
}
#ajaxChatContent .admin {
color:red;
}
#ajaxChatContent .chatBot {
color:#FF6600;
}
#ajaxChatContent #ajaxChatChatList .chatBotErrorMessage {
color:red;
}
#ajaxChatContent #ajaxChatChatList a {
color:#1E90FF;
}
#ajaxChatContent #ajaxChatChatList .delete {
background:url('../img/delete.png') no-repeat right;
}
#ajaxChatContent #ajaxChatChatList .deleteSelected {
border-color:red;
}

OK here is a weird one for you.

After following the instructions to add the smileys from here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=257973.msg1981766#msg1981766

I now have nowhere to type into in the chat room due to the smileys not having their own button, the smileys in the shoutbox are not the newer ones.

The shoutbox has no font colors either.

Planet it wasn't me who didn't want admins to show as red.

I realize that, that post was regaurding customizing shoutbox, I thought you needed that.

The problem I have is not being able to find the following on my index template.php

      <div class="tborder" style="margin: 10px 0 10px 0;">
         <div class="catbg" style="padding: 5px 15px 5px 10px;margin:0 auto;">
            <a rel="nofollow" href="#" onclick="ajax_shoutBox_collapse(!sb_current_header)"><img id="ajax_shoutbox_collapse" src="', $settings['images_url'], empty($options['sb_collapsed']) ? '/collapse.gif' : '/expand.gif','" alt="*" style="margin-right: 5px;" /></a>', $txt['shoutBox'], '
         </div>
         <div id="ShoutBox"', empty($options['sb_collapsed']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>

I'm sorry if this has been asked before.

Recently installed Ajax Chat and everything looks fine:
-I'm able to set permission in the admin panel (managed to set permissions properly)
-I see the "No user is in chat." indicator below the online list
-I see the chat link below the header

HOWEVER, when I try to access chat by clicking the Chat link below header, it brings me to the chat page but the message screen and the online users screen is blank. I see the channel drop-down, style, all the smileys, buttons but those two white screens are blank. Even tried to enter a message but nothing appears.

Here is a link to my chat screen (Guest access should be enabled): http://acronia.com/forums/chat/index.php

What editor are you using?

If you can search, search for "collapse"  that will get you right to the beginning of the shoutbox code and it is where you will find the code you are looking for,,,once you find collapse, if you are still unsure, copy all near code before and after collapse and poste it, will help you out.

         </div>
