How to give access moderators to view the chat logs?

[PLAYBOY]

Hello there.

I'm trying to add this mod to my SMF 2.0.4 my forum, but I'm getting this error and I have tapatalk installed.
Any insight on how to solve this?

Thanks.

Hello,
I use AJAXChatToSmf.3.2.7 in SMF 2.0.4. Chat still work correct, but today there was a problem..

Do you have the tapatalk mod installed?

Downgrade Tapatalk (3.4.0).

Could you please give me the download link for this version? I couldnt find it anywhere. Hope this will fix my blank screen issue also.

Link removed. Please direct to the page the link is on and not the download link itself

btw Is someone working properly ajax chat + latest version of Tapatalk?

I hate to ask for support here--as I'm not using the mod, but the direct SMF integration from github...But I am getting pretty desperate after spending a week working on my forum and hitting a wall due to my own limitations in code.

I've had to wipe and re-install a new forum due to messing up modifications. I installed my forum with no problem. I installed Simpleportal, hey, not a hitch!

So right now I've got Ajax Chat Integrated 0.8.6 installed in a /chat/ folder in the root where my forum is installed. I ran the install file and all went well.

I visit my url where it's installed (gr.2phatgeeks.com/chat/index.php) and this time around I'm presented with a log in page. So I enter my admin name and password and hit Login aaaaaaaand--


I'm taken to my forum index??

I've tried google searching and I've spent more time looking through this thread than should be normal for any sane person (twitchtwitch) and all I want right now is my chat to work and if you can help me I can't give you money but I will definitely credit your help on my front page in simple portal and link back to your website because sweet nuggets, I want this to work.

Thank you for your time!

This mod works fine on my 2 smf installations - no problems with that.

The problem I am having is I am unable to access the administrator page. The administrator log-in page does appear and when I go to log in I receive a blank page.

There are no errors showing up in the smf error log and the only error that shows in my browser log is a generic internal server error. I have checked all my permissions and they appear to be correct.

I've been monitoring this thread and still deciding if I want to try and update.

A new update of this MOD to 3.2.7 is offered here by dahweeds.

Finally decided to give this a try next week.

Since I posted above in March, I removed the old version of Ajax Chat from my forum entirely.  We had issues and I had no time to troubleshoot (think it could have been host) so to stop the errors I simply removed it until I had time to address it again.  Now I'm ready to get Chat feature back on.


But, in reviewing the topic since I made the above post - there have been some changes:

1. The link above which took you to the zip file modification by dahweeds has been removed.
    Does this mean that it didn't work or not relevant now?


2.  There seems to be a new version/update on github:

https://github.com/Frug/AJAX-Chat/tree/master/chat

What is my best approach?   
a. Install the original mod here again and use the github version to update it
(or)
b. Ignore the mod entirely and just do a fresh install with the github version


And my novice in me will show with this question:
Is it possible to use the SMF package installer feature in the Admin panel to use the tar.gz file from github to put the newest version on my forum or will I have to do the manual install instructions found there?

Many thanks in advance.

Answers below:

Since no reply in several days - tried my hand at it today.

1. You can't use the package installer to upload the zip file from github and install into your forum via the Package Manager.

2. I can't find a way to use the install file for this mod and then upgrade using the github version.  I installed the Curve Friendly version again and then tried to update the files located on github but that broke it and I reverted back to the mod version.

------------------------------

Edit:  So this morning I decided to delete this mod and just do the manual install of the github version.   I picked this option because I really don't want or need the "shoutbox" feature and I'd rather have the most recent updated versions of the files than the ones provided in this mod.

Only drawbacks I see are:

- You have to put a link to the chat somewhere in your forum because the word "Chat" doesn't appear in the menu bar.
- I'm not able to edit settings inside my SMF admin panel for options, like permissions of certain membergroups who can access chat (default is guests no, members yes).
- The option to make chat open in popup window not in a mod setting you can pick


Perhaps I'll look at what edits are in the theme pages here and see if I can edit them manually.

CandC, thank you a lot for you feedback on your experiences.
I would reply to you if I knew anything about coding, everything I do is with help or by try and error like you.

Tell me, do you have Tapatalk installed?

Glad to provide some feedback - this thread isn't posted on much lately.

Tapatalk - Nope, I don't.

I've been able to get the chat to function with install instructions on github.   I've even been able to edit some features in the config.php file with no big issues.  It would be nice to work settings in admin panel, but no biggie having it not incorporated with the package manager.

The only thing I'm finding thus far (and have a tech inquiry on their forum) is logging in/out for members. If they are logged into the forum they can't log out of chat unless they log out of the forum first, otherwise it logs them right back in.  We're not the only ones experiencing this, it seems to be a "bug" they're trying to figure out.

Somewhat Related:
About 3 weeks ago my host upgraded their Linux server and we've been getting all kinds of error messages, connection reset and the chat behaving wonky because of it.  Yeah, (hangs head) I'm paying for shared hosting on GoDaddy.   Our site is pretty small so I thought it our best option costwise. 

That's the reason I took this MOD off completely a week or so ago and tried a new fresh install from github.   Things worked great until last night, then the errors returned. 

So far their tech support has been abysmal and after 3 weeks I finally got that much out of them (their server issue)  after they tried to blame my PC and possible virus.  I couldn't see how that would be the case when our members were all experiencing the same thing.  So it's back to deciding on a host now that will handle Ajax without the security_mod errors and locking our site for minutes at a time.  They're offering to move me to a Windows server etc...but  not sure if I want to be tied to them anymore.

[FragaCampos]

I would definitely search for another host... there are plenty of options out there, avoid the bigger ones, especially if they're shared.

Mod related: I asked about tapatalk, because it's the first problem I encounter when installing this mod, which impedes it from working.
I'll try to install it via ftp from Github and I'll share here what happened.

Thanks again.

Hello,
Does anyone know how to embed Google Adsense in the chat? I found only this: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ajax-chat/index.php?title=Google_AdSense, but it did not help me..

[kerbob]

Is there a version of this AjaxChat that works on 2.0.5 with a simple install?  If not, could someone point me to the post where the instructions are.  This is a FANTASTIC mod and I'd love to bring it back to my site.

Can anyone re-share Dahweeds mod of this package?  Someone deleted it.  Do we know why?

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=257973.msg3446558#msg3446558

[Arantor]

It was removed because modified versions of packages are not supposed to be attached to the thread without permission from the mod author (e.g. explicit permission, or suitable licence)

[kerbob]

Understood.  Could someone PM me the link to where I can download it?

I can definitely understand copyright infringement, but unless credit has been removed from the code to the original author, I'm not sure what the harm is.  Is there a way for Dahweed to publish this correctly if we can't get the original author's approval?

[Arantor]

Um... no because that would be facilitating copyright infringement. If it was legal we would have allowed it here.

There is no way for it to be published without author's approval, or author giving a suitable licence... that's the point.

[kerbob]

I got the AjaxChat Integration_3.2.1 RC3_Curve_Friendly.zip version that is posted on the mod site working.. had to do a manual install.

Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

Hello,

When I add a custom group to the chat than that works well.
If I want to add a second custom group than that will not work 

I use this guide ---> http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=257973.6160

So the question is how can I add three custom groups? Should I keep the above instructions or am I supposed to something else?

regards,

Brunob
