Hi All, would love to use this Mod on my SMF Version 2 RC1 forum.

I'm not that IT literate, I've tried doing the auto install from Menu's Admin > Main > Download Packages > Browse > New Feature > Download, but get error message "An Error Has Occurred!" "Although the package was downloaded to the server it appears to be empty . . .".

Is something wrong or can you only do a manual install?

Thanks for support/advice . . . John.

Manually installing Ajaxchat works better, in my opinion. One less mod : )

Hi mrtrc266! Do you mean the 755? I think I have double checked every file and they are all 755. I think this is something simple but cannot figure it out? 

[Filipina]

oh sorry i missed the shoutbox folder all fixed now thanks!

Hi. Hunter

This is a part of code to add new group in ajaxchat for phpbb3

I can't configure this part. Below is for phpbb3

Code Select Expand

$userData['groupID'] = $user->data['group_id'];

            if($auth->acl_get('a_')) {
                $userData['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_ADMIN;
            } elseif($auth->acl_get('m_')) {
                $userData['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_MODERATOR;
            }    else {
                // Check if we have a member of our custom user group
                if($userData['groupID'] == 7)
                    $userData['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_VIP;
                else
                    $userData['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_USER;
            }

original source code link is here

I had this same issue. Unzip the package to any spot on your computer. Then simply "rezip" it into a new zip file, upload the new one, and try again from the package manager (that worked for me).

Now if I could just get the chat working.......

@ Filipina  and Mystery

For AJAX Chat Intergration Version 3 just looking though my file permissions it seems that all my "Folders" are set @ 755 and all my "Files" are set @ 666.

For AJAX Chat Intergration Version 2 my "Folders" are set @ 755 and all my "Files" are set @ 644.

i did same as you for version 3 and i still get the error 500

I changed the permission to 755 for index.php and it worked. Try it.

excellent that did it for me thanks very much!!

hm, when user chat in shoutbox, then go on example forum,  and then dont click back on chat in shoutbox, he is not updated untill user dont click in box to write msg (shoutbox only), can this be somehow auto update, without this - it look like timeout in shoutbox?

some users might ting no one is on chat cos of that, and when they click text box to send msg, they get like 10 rows of chat

@ Cheese Head  Delete the package from you server then upload it again.

I had some questions from some of my moderators, about items on the forum. My forum menu shows the word "Chat", but one of my moderators shows only "(1)".

I also logged in on a temporary test log in, and I don't see anything as the moderator does. There's a Shoutbox, but no option on the menu for a pop-up chat box. I checked the settings and all looks ok.

Is there some sort of manual on how to manage the chat? here's what my moderator's seeing. Also shows a "1." next to his avatar.

Have you tried setting the file permissions, I know you're not getting the 500 error but it might be worth a shot.

@ discjocke

I just went to your site and everywhere it's supposed to show the Number of User in Chat it just shows the number. It was working fine the other day right? Have you installed any more Mods?

I have to run to work but will take a look when I get back if you don't get it sorted.

I think I have read all 46 pages of thei tread and it only gets more confusing.

If I may, please specify the exact way to start from scratch. Do ya use the mod or do ya install the ajax chat from sourceforge first?

I just installed the mod and got it working but am having some issues that are probably solved with the correct starting point.

Can you load the chat room into the shoutbox, or am I way off?

I also wonder if I can dump the chat and only leave the shoutbox. For some reason I thought the posts were integrated from the shoutbox to the chat room.

It is a very cool mod and it seems nice. I like the previous post with regards to the accessibility aspect which is why I would like to utilize this mod. I just would like to customize it a little bit.

And btw: Happy Spring Everyone!

shoutbox keeps adding "my connection has status 0" for people using firefox.

Anyone else experience or know a solution

Haven't added or changed anything. The Chat and Shoutbox are working okay. It's just some questions I had. I changed "Maximum number of messages in the chatlist:" to 100 for now, due to someone asking me why the history of the messages doesn't last long. When I go back in to check the settings, it's back to zero. No major issues though.

I setup all permissions of what I saw. We're able to use it, it's just a couple of things to tweak. Old_Ods on my forum wanted to know why that "1." next to his avatar. It's not next to mine.

@xxxwindsor
your confusion is because of lots of changes in this mod from first version

you should only install the mod, and some little manual edits in 3rd party themes

yes it is possible

i don't get what you mean

@Filipina
this only happens in dial-up and wireless connections
and also reported a little bug when deleting a message, there is solution for it in this topic just search you find it

@discjocke
those user using english language?

[discjocke]

Yes. All of them using English.

I found out what the "1." on side of the avatar is. On the side of mine, it says "1 user is in chat." But on the side of my moderator, it just says "1.".

You answered my question. I only installed the mod, I just thought I was lucky that it was working for me, after a few small issues.

I just need to change the look a little, edit the default text, like the 'AJAX Chat' and the title, etc. Should I look here for those answers or are they better covered elsewhere?


The odd question I have is that if I choose to only have the chat feature for certain groups but would like the shoutbox to remain accessible to the vast majority. Is there a way to only display the 'chat' button (in the menu bar)  to those with permission to use the chat feature?
