AjaxChat Integration (latest version 3.2.1)

[RoyalMess]

Currently the chat isn't displaying anything.
I tried to solve it with the .htaccess but it didn't solve anything

If anyone knows how to fix it please tell

Try changing your file permissions to 755 on /chat/index.php and /shoutBox/index.php

I did but no effect, still a empty chat

What the link to your site. PM me if you don't want it public.

www.topsportleeuwarden.nl

Its a Dutch sports discussion website.

Got it working fine now. Just had to change the chmod. One more little question. I can't seem to find any way to delere the test chat I put in there. Can it be deleted?

Have you asked your host if there's see if they can diagnose what's causing the lag? In 300 pages of support I haven't heard of this issue. It seems that you have a pretty active board so this might just take too much of a load in addition to your forums current activity.

@ Nachtfalke
That's very odd as that Mod does an extremely minor edit to the index.template.php file. Don't see how it could interfere with the Chat. Glad you got it sorted though.

@ Caesarrrrr
Does it work on the Core theme though? If you use a custom theme then you have to manually do the edits to get the button to show up on your theme. Also there are some edits that need to be done to show the # of users in chat on your BoardIndex and User Info area. Manual Installation of Mods

For Admin Setting - Admin/Configuration/Features and Options/
Please see FAQ's for more info.


@ wodema
Glad you got it sorted! Ummm where did you put it? LOL
You should have 2 folders yourforum/chat/ and yourforum/shoutBox/ and others you can delete.

[wodema]

They are in my main forum folders under /chat and /shoutbox. I turned off the shoubox though because I didn't like it. It took up half my screen...lol

[ProfDrDenis]

I use chat in the popup window, is there any way after logout that the window will close automatically?

thanks for helping

You can adjust the height of your shout box in /chat/css/shoutbox.css or just use the chat room like you said. Glad it going for you.

@  Caesarrrrr
What's the link to your site?
What language are you using?

@ RoyalMess it seems that your host does not allow .htaccess files on their server. If you notice when you upload it, it immediately disappears that's why it was not having any effect LOL. Get in contact with them to see if they can fix that for you then create an .htaccess file and try adding this line to it then upload it to your forums root folder (the same place your SSI.php file is located).

Code Select Expand

RewriteRule ^chat/?$ ./chat/index.php [L,QSA]

It doesn't show in FTP clients but when i use the build in FTP through PLESK i find a .htaccess file and it has that line in it.

See these 2 screenshots.

Is there any way  for the moderator or admin to log in annonimously or invisibly unless they want their name to show?

A few pages back, I posted that this doesn't always work, and often just logs you out then logs you right back in again without closing the tab. I never got any response.

I never got any response.

sorry I was busy. Before the code was not working. I test the new one

[ProfDrDenis]

without */ its working. Means:

// Example - Overriding the replaceCustomCommands method:
ajaxChat.replaceCustomCommands = function(text, textParts) {
   return text;
}

ajaxChat.handleLogout = function(url) {
   setTimeout("window.close()",   1);
}

Thanks so much

I have an other problem. In my index.template.php file is inside:

// Chat start
                if (!empty($modSettings['enableChatBelowPM'])){
                $count = count(chatOnlineUsers());
                if ($count == 0 )
                echo '<li>' . $txt['chat_no_user'] . '</li>';
            elseif ($count == 1 )
                echo '<li>1' . $txt['chat_aUser'] . '</li>';
            else
                echo '<li> ' . $count . $txt['chat_users'] . '.</li>';
                }
        // Chat the end

but its not counting. What can I do?

The logout might happen often if you have the idle time set too short......

Set how long you want members to be idle before they are timed out.
Open.....yourforum/chat/lib/config.php (Change to whatever you like.)

// Minutes until a user is declared inactive (last status update) - the minimum is 2 minutes:

That just shows the # of users in chat somewhere around.....
