Hello mrtrc266,

many thanks for your last advice, that worked perfectly.

Now I have a small issue... And it's about my Account Executions; apparently since I installed the Chat + Shoutbox, the account executions stats form my host, are getting quite high...:

What should I do? I'm really happy on how the chat and the box work; should I just accept the peak? or is there any way to solve the problem?
Just to let you know, the chat is a nice feature, but what I'm really intrested in is just the shoutbx...
Many thanks for your help!!!

Cheers!

Yes this will can a load on your server especially if you have a lot of users chatting at the same time. If you only want the shoutbox in your admin settings make sure you uncheck "Integrate shout box and chat room?" then remove the chat button from your menu barso members won't enter the chat room.

Then check your spikes and see if that decreases your spikes any

by the way, I found this reply. is the chat box responsible of the load on the server?

ok guys,


when I found the note quoted in my previous reply I disabled  chatting for members, I decided to just use the shoutBox and was going for about 45 minutes or less just sending messages in the shoutbox by myself with no participation of other members. I did not use the chat just used the shoutbox.

please see the difference in the attached images

Hi I posted a couple a days ago with the following problem that is quoted below, I was told a solution to the second problem I had which was changing the title of the chat. Thanks very much for the help with that  :)

But moving onto the first problem I had with the list of users in chat not showing up under the list of online users. A member a few pages back said to upload my index.template.php so I have that attached so I hope someone can help me with that problem.

Thanks very much in advance!  :)

Note: I have changed my theme since to "Officebox" I dunno who the author is.

Hi, I am new here so I hope someone can help me.

I installed the AJAX a few days ago and work perfect with the default theme, but I installed a new theme the other day Decal by Runic and now the list of users in chat isn't showing at the bottom of the index page of the forum just under the list of online users. It must be a problem with the theme because it works fine will all the default themes with SMF 2.0.

So I am just wondering is there anyway to edit the code somewhere to fix this problem? Thanks

Oh and one other thing, is it possible to change the title of the chat as standard is says "AJAX Chat" can this be changed to something else like the name of my site?

Thanks in advance....by the way I'm new to SMF so they is all alien and new to me.  :)

Actually, the problem with "users in chat" at the bottom of the forum is going to be cause of that new custom themes BoardIndex.template.php. 

Goto the MOD page and parse the package for your SMF version, and look at the edits it makes to the Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php file, and make the same edits to your custom themes file.

Anytime a custom theme is added, or needs to be modified, 99.9% of the time it's going to need edits to both the custom themes BoardIndex.template.php  &  index.template.php  files.

Or you can post your file here from your custom theme, and someone may offer to help do it for you.

Hi,

Oh its the BoardIndex.template.php I don;t know that sorry, all this SMF and PHP is all new to me.

I don't have any knowledge of editing these files unless someone would give me step by step instructions. So I am going to upload/attach my BoardIndex.template.php and hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Brian.

Try the attached file.
That worked perfect hcfwesker I don't know how to thank you enough. I am very great full Thank you.  :)

hcfwesker

Not a problem, we all were new at some point.  You'll catch on to modifying your php files in no time.  Just always make a backup of the file you're working on for safety measures.

Hi hcfwesker,


would you mind giving me you opinion about the problem I explained earlier?


thanks

duckydan69

My members (Safari users) are getting an error "TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'this.target.create(className)') " when accessing the chat.

It blocks all sounds and the default CSS theme is blocked so you only see scrolling text with a dropdown for channel and style. (you can see the dropdown and selecting "Core" instead of "Default" makes the page appear fine but still no sounds.)

Any idea what can be causing this and what I can do to fix it?  Tried searching but only found other sites talking about how they disabled ajaxchat as a result.

I really have no clue what all that means.  Ajax Chat rapes a lot of bandwidth and resources.  I went through 4 different hosting companies before I found one that would allow, and support my need for it.

BaghdadGhost

thanks for the reply.

so what I mentioned and all the information sounds right and no other think could solve the problem except a new host?


by the way, is it ok if you PM me you site's hosting company?

Good Mod but very limited settings , I don't understand why there is no extensive settings options to adjust , like deleting rooms , changing names ,changing access to specific rooms ...etc

Thanks,,

Farjo

If I were you I'd demand my money back.

Or are you offering to code these extras? Or offering anything helpful?

TheListener

You can add the following edits to this mod.

Replace Ajax Chat with your forums name.

Add a welcome message.

Remove text when you first enter the room.

Only have one room, colour and language showing.

Include a word filter.

I read it before , no mention of changing settings easily ,
i.e after install , rooms names came as boards names exactly but I donot want that , I want only one public, one private, ...etc and different access assgined , or assign by name for example .
I donot want it the way you mentioned by boards access ?

I hope that can be done
