AjaxChat Integration (latest version 3.2.1)

[mrtrc266]

Terribly sorry about this perhaps simple question;

where are these folders located? I can't seem to see then....
Thanks in advance,

muris

In the same place that your forum is at, it should look something like this in your cPanel file manager or FTP file manager (whichever you use)

public_html/chat/ & public_html/shoutbox/

or

httdocs/chat/ & httdocs/shoutbox

I am I correct in thinking that the chat boards history disappears over night, or when you log off?

I am sure when I installed it it kept the history, now a few days later it doesn't?

@ jase7

open yourforum/chat/lib/config.php and you will see a plethora of settings that can be customized to your preferences.

The one your looking for is....

Code Select Expand

// Max time difference in hours for messages to display on each request:

Then you can also set how many messages you want to be retrieved here...

Code Select Expand

// Max number of messages to display on each request:

Hope that helps.

Glad you got it sorted muris

Ok! We fixed the problem.

-If anyone has a problem where no text appears in your chatrooms when typing in text, it may be affected by the tinyurls mod conflicting Ajax Chat Integration

-Simply, add go to the filters php file of tiny url's and make a quick fix.

-Also, one of my admins has figured out a way to create a script that makes the logs of the chartrooms post into a board at 10:30pm every night. It's pretty cool for keeping records and adding more information to your site.

Here's the first post of chat logs : http://buypoe.com/general-discussion/chat-logs/msg4317/?topicseen

Thanks for the help. Hope this helps anyone.

Glad you got it sorted...Looks good.

BTW you pics are different sized which causes a gap when the menu buttons slide over, some are at 152x70 and some are at 162x70. If you make them all the same size you won't have that gap.

If you change them all to 152 also be sure to change the settings in your imagemenu.js files and stlye.css file.

Have fun with the chat

Enable the PopUp Feature and see if it goes away, go to...

Admin/Configuration/Modifications/Chat/

and check "Chat in popup page?"

Done! I got no error until now ...

Simply download that file via your FTP and open it with a text editor like Notepad++.

Make the edits that I posted, save your changes and then upload it back to your server via FTP.

Of courese make make a backup first.

I have a minor question on how to add more sounds to the chat.

I've downloaded the sounds to the sounds folder

I've edited config.js with the name of the sounds, just after sound_6: 'sound_6.mp3':

Code Select Expand

// Defines the available sounds loaded on chat start:
soundFiles: {
sound_1: 'sound_1.mp3',
sound_2: 'sound_2.mp3',
sound_3: 'sound_3.mp3',
sound_4: 'sound_4.mp3',
sound_5: 'sound_5.mp3',
sound_6: 'sound_6.mp3'

Can't seem to get the sounds files to load... them don't show in the drop-down list under settings. What have I missed? Any help would be appreciated!

note: the sounds are mp3 and follows the 8.3 naming rule.

-~ Edit: Awesome mod by the way! ~-

Activating Shoutbox upon login...

Sometimes when I login to the forum, the shoutbox immediately populates with content, and other times it doesn't.  When it doesn't populate, clicking in the field where you type your text immediately causes the shoutbox to populate with all of the entries that people have been making.  Clicking elsewhere on the shoutbox does not.

When the shoutbox is in an unpopulated state, you don't see anything that people are typing.  Once it becomes populated it will work fine as you navigate the forum.  I have family members who have logged in and I type hello to them, but there's no response.  I call them and find out that they don't see the content in the shoutbox, but as soon as they click into that field it comes alive.

So what I have been tempted to do is to remove the "AJAX Chat © blueimp.net | Integrated with SMF" line and replace it with something along the lines of "Click on this field to activate the ShoutBox", though I hesitate to remove the author's blurb.

Any suggestions?

[mrtrc266]

@ JornB I'm not sure exaclty how to add more sounds but I will pla with it over the next few days and see what I can find. Will post back with results, if any.

Yes you are right, it is a great Mod

@ tfs

To have you shout/chat remain visible for a longer period of time please follow the post in quotes above.

You are correct, the shoutbox/chat sometims will not refresh until you put you cusror in the input field.

Please DO NOT remove the copyright and/or credits portion of the AJAX Chat and/or AJAX Chat Intergration. Instead you can add a Custom Message to notify your members of what to do by just adding a some text here...

Find  /Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

Code Select Expand

$txt['shoutBox'] = 'ShoutBox';

Replace with

Code Select Expand

$txt['shoutBox'] = 'ShoutBox ADD YOUR CUSTOM MESSAGE HERE';
