Lol it\'s almost 6am here.

[mkalinowski]

any members of my forum are having trouble logging into the Ajax chat except for the admins. They get the following message: You can't access the chat. Any ideas?

As has been said many times through this thread: "You must set permissions per membergroup to access the chat."

Hello Friends..

I am installed AjaxChat Integration_3.2.1 Mod.
The mod was working perfect.

But the chat button of AjaxChat not like other menu button.


Plzz Show me how to edit my theme index.template.php

@ishaan

Your chat button doesn't check for permissions before it displays.  I assume this was ok with you.

Find the code in the file you displayed that matches the following:

Code Select Expand


  // the [Chat] button
   $chatPath = str_replace("index.php", "chat/index.php", $scripturl);
   $num = (empty($modSettings['enableChatButtonNo'])) ? 0 : count(chatOnlineUsers());
   echo $context['browser']['is_ie4'] ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '', '
      <class="maintab_back">
         <a href="', $chatPath, '"', empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']) ? 'target="_blank"' : ' onclick="openWindow(this.href);this.blur();return false;"', '><span>Chat</span></a>
      </td>';   


Replace that code with the following:

Code Select Expand


// the [Chat] button
$chatPath = str_replace("index.php", "chat/index.php", $scripturl);
$num = (empty($modSettings['enableChatButtonNo'])) ? 0 : count(chatOnlineUsers());
$chatnum = $num>0 ? '('.$num.')' : '';
echo '<li><a href="', $chatPath, '"', empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']) ? 'target="_blank"' : ' onclick="openWindow(this.href);this.blur();return false;"', '><span>Chat',$chatnum,'</span></a></li>


This will not only place your chat button in the right format, but will also give you the number of users in chat if chat is not empty.

Hope this is helpful.

danielwmoore Thank you for replying me.

Brother i have tried what you  saz.

but this error was seeing..

Template Parse Error!
It seems something has gone sour on the forum with the template system. This problem should only be temporary, so please come back later and try again. If you continue to see this message, please contact the administrator.

You can also try refreshing this page.

what i do bro ?

[TheListener]

It looks like the code was not placed correctly.

Have you backed up the forum?

Please attach your boardindex template here

[warlock2009]

PLease help me guys...
i just install smf v1.1.10 dan used AjaxChat Integration  3.2.1
why this message appear: ChatBot: Error: Connection status: 500

[TheListener]

The answer is in the ajax chat link of my signature. I made a post with the answer a few pages back.

If you need further help I will be back online later.

[Urbanite]

Listener, the link in your signature isn't there any more, presuming you are meaning under AJAX CHAT HINTS AND TIPS

[warlock2009]

its mean ned permision?

[TheListener]

Listener, the link in your signature isn't there any more, presuming you are meaning under AJAX CHAT HINTS AND TIPS

This is the section I was referring to.

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

[ScottDB]

My chat and shoutbox seem to be working ok. The only problem is that my log is getting cluttered by an error message every time someone uses the chat or shoutbox. Here is the error

Undefined index:  chat
File: /home/scott/public_html/newbiescentral.com/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 3716

Any ideas?

ScottDB,

When it says, "Undefined index: chat", that means there is an array that is being passed 'chat' as the index, and it doesn't exist.

This is most likely the culprit of another issue I found and fixed with this Mod, that I completely forgot to mention above. 

While this mod will set some language strings for the shoutbox, it does not do so for the chat.  Open up your Modifications.english.php in your Themes/default/language directory, (or Modifications.german.php, or whatever language you're needing this for), and add to the list:

Code Select Expand


$txt['chat'] = 'Chat';


This will be the text that appears on your menu button.  That's why it seems to fail pretty much every time someone displays a page.

Do that somewhere on a new line before the final '?>' in the file.

That will fix the problem.

Should the file I am supposed to edit be admin.englis.php?

The code you should have replaced that other part should have been:

Code Select Expand


// the [Chat] button
$chatPath = str_replace("index.php", "chat/index.php", $scripturl);
$num = (empty($modSettings['enableChatButtonNo'])) ? 0 : count(chatOnlineUsers());
$chatnum = $num>0 ? '('.$num.')' : '';
echo '<li><a href="', $chatPath, '"', empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']) ? 'target="_blank"' : ' onclick="openWindow(this.href);this.blur();return false;"', '><span>Chat',$chatnum,'</span></a></li>';


For some reason, when I copied and pasted it into the above message, the last '; of that code didn't show up.  Sorry.  I should have checked a preview more carefully before hitting submit.  Please add the '; at the end as shown above.

Should the file I am supposed to edit be admin.englis.php?

No, edit the Modifications.english.php, as was stated in my post.  Also edit whatever language your forum is using and add it there as well, editing Modifications.language.php where language is the name of the language you are using.

THANKS A LOT!! danielwmoore

Hey I also had first the problem that the Chat button didnt show. Then ive added this code at the end

Code Select Expand

// the [Chat] button
$chatPath = str_replace("index.php", "chat/index.php", $scripturl);
$num = (empty($modSettings['enableChatButtonNo'])) ? 0 : count(chatOnlineUsers());
$chatnum = $num>0 ? '('.$num.')' : '';
echo '<li><a href="', $chatPath, '"', empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']) ? 'target="_blank"' : ' onclick="openWindow(this.href);this.blur();return false;"', '><span>Chat',$chatnum,'</span></a></li>';

@C_Murder:

You placed the chat button after the end of the code for the menu bar.  That's why it wasn't part of it.

Here I've placed it for you before the Login/Logout and Register buttons, which is a more appropriate place for it.

Code Select Expand

[C_Murder]

thank you very much sir.

[Urbanite]

I want to use just the shoutbox without the chat and need a little help to:-

(1) Remove or "// out" the chat button on the menu bar.

(2) On the shoutBox I want to change the title 'shoutBox' to something more forum geared and also change the word 'Shout' on the send button.

any clues please?   ... oh talented ones
