AjaxChat Integration (latest version 3.2.1)

[tfs]

@ xxxwindsor  If I understand you correctly I believe that if you don't check the option to "open chat in pop up" that it will not open in a new window.

That's what I though and I have double checked to make sure it is not checked. Still launches new window though.

The chat window will always be in a new browser windw, but when you select the checkbox to open in a "pop up" it will look nicer because the browser controls will not be visible.  It makes it look like an application window rather than a browser window.

You can change this in your index.template.php

Find

Code Select Expand

empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']) ? 'target="_blank"' : '
Replace with

Code Select Expand

empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']) ? '"' : '

This will make the chat NOT open in a new window regardless of your settings.

I would recommend that you also do the Redirect the Logout edit otherwise when your users log out of the chat they will be taken to the chat loggin screen. You can follow the instructions HERE

Hope that's what you lookin for.

Quick question is there a way to set it up so that when someone logs out it closes the pop up window?

Anyone have any idea on this? I know you can set it up so it goes back to the forum on the config file but is there a setting that will close the window all together when they click logout?

Is there a way to change the size of the PopUp window? I would like to make it a little larger.

mrtrc266,

I must be missing something...in smf 2.0 I can't find empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']) ? 'target="_blank"' : '

mrtrc266,

The closest code is:

if ($modSettings['chatPopUp']){
         $context['menu_buttons']['chat']['href'] .= '" onclick="openWindow(this.href);this.blur();return false;';
         echo '
               <script type="text/javascript">
             function openWindow(url,width,height,options,name) {
                width = width ? width : 800;
               height = height ? height : 600;
              options = options ? options : \'resizable=yes\';
              name = name ? name : \'openWindow\';
              window.open(
                 url,
                 name,
                 \'screenX=\'+(screen.width-width)/2+\',screenY=\'+(screen.height-height)/2+\',width=\'+width+\',height=\'+height+\',\'+options
              )

Any ideas how to have this open in a seperate popup?

Thanks...Jim

@ jiminoregon 

That was actually from a user the DID NOT want the chat to open in a new window.

Your request is

Any ideas how to have this open in a seperate popup?

To have it open in a Pop Up window for RC1 go to Admin/Configuration/Modifications/Chat and check "chat in popup page?"

I did that...but if that setting is checked or unchecked it opens in a new window...hmmm something odd..Any ideas?

Thanks...BTW I saw your site...very nice...

[mrtrc266]

Ohhh so you DO NOT want it to open in a new window? Sorry bout that I got confused when you said "Any ideas how to have this open in a seperate popup?"

I have dug around on how to do that for RC1 but can't figure it out at the moment. I will keep trying but hopefully Hunter will have a solution when he gets back on.

Thanks for the comliment on the site

I want it to work just like your site...when you hit chat...a popup opens.  No matter if i check or uncheck "open in popup" it works the same...

Maybe I could use a monster mask...and scare the heck outta my installation...lol...

@ reeldragon
you can play with colors of the shoutbox in yourforum/chat/css/shoutbox.css
Find for the shoutbox background colors. Also there are many other settings as well, alternating posts background etc.

Code Select Expand

#ajaxChatContent {

[mrtrc266]

@ llinocoe
Try this....

Find yourforum/chat/lib/config.php

Code Select Expand

$config['contentType'] = null;
Replace with

Code Select Expand

$config['contentType'] = 'text/html';

No problem...I like the way yours works.  Push chat...and a popup window opens.  It's odd because checking the open in popup box doesn't seem to have an effect on my forum.  Hmmm...

One more question, if you don't mind.  Is there a way to change the location and size of the shoutbox?

Thx...Jim

[mrtrc266]

@ jiminoregon

To change the size of the shoutbox open yourforum/chat/css/shoutbox.css and find then change to what you'd like. Leave the overflow to auto or else it won't scroll. You will have to refresh or clean your cache for the change to take effect.

Code Select Expand

#ajaxChatContent #ajaxChatChatList {
height:163px;
overflow:auto;
}


To change the location of the shoutbox open /yourforum/Themes/yourtheme/index.template.php and play around with the positioning of the code below. Of course make a backup before you begin.

Code Select Expand

//shoutBox
if (!empty($modSettings['enableShoutBox'])){
if (allowedTo('shout_access')){
// We'll have to use the cookie to remember the shoutBox header...
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
$options['sb_collapsed'] = !empty($_COOKIE['sb_collapsed']);

echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var sb_current_header = ', empty($options['sb_collapsed']) ? 'false' : 'true', ';

function ajax_shoutBox_collapse(mode)
{';

if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
echo '
document.cookie = "sb_collapsed=" + (mode ? 1 : 0);';
else
echo '
smf_setThemeOption("sb_collapsed", mode ? 1 : 0, null, "', $context['session_id'], '");';

echo '
document.getElementById("ajax_shoutbox_collapse").src = smf_images_url + (mode ? "/expand.gif" : "/collapse.gif");

document.getElementById("ShoutBox").style.display = mode ? "none" : "";

sb_current_header = mode;
}
</script>';

if (!empty($modSettings['anyPageShoutBox']) || isset($context['chat_isHome'])){
echo'
<div class="tborder" style="margin: 10px 0 10px 0;">
<div class="catbg" style="padding: 5px 15px 5px 10px;margin:0 auto;">
<a rel="nofollow" href="#" onclick="ajax_shoutBox_collapse(!sb_current_header)"><img id="ajax_shoutbox_collapse" src="', $settings['images_url'], empty($options['sb_collapsed']) ? '/collapse.gif' : '/expand.gif','" alt="*" style="margin-right: 5px;"  /></a>', $txt['shoutBox'], '
</div>
<div id="ShoutBox"', empty($options['sb_collapsed']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>
', getShoutBoxContent() ,'
</div>
</div>';
}
}
}

Try playing with this....

For SMF 1.1.8 and RC1
Find yourforum/Themes/yourtheme/index.template.php and change width and height to whatever you like

Code Select Expand

            function openWindow(url,width,height,options,name) {
                width = width ? width : 800;
                height = height ? height : 600;
                options = options ? options : \'resizable=yes\';


[jiminoregon]

Thanks for all the help...everything works fine except the chat won't open in a popout like on your site.  I see you use SMF1.1.8 and I'm using SMF 2 RC1.  Maybe there is something buggy about SMF 2 that isn't accepting that popout code.

If anyone's using SMF 2, and getting the popout chat window to work...let us know...

Jim
