AjaxChat Integration (latest version 3.2.1)

[digit]

Guys i know this has happened before and i had the same issue, but i cannot for the life of me find the relevant post or anything related to it! 

Anyway my site has been using chat for some months now with very little issue, i have not uploaded any new mods or anything of the sort. But my chatroom no longer displays the text that people type, i have tried it myself both as a normal member and admin, yet nothing is displayed.

Any help appreciated or just point me in the right direction!

Thanks 

It sounds like something is going on with your htaccess file...  try renaming it to something OTHER than .htaccess and try again.

I have integrated Ajax Chat into SMF and it works fine with the default theme. I've also copied over three files (BoardIndex.template.php, index.template.php, and style.css) into the Dilber theme (as recommended by mrtrc266 in response to lundana in March), but an error occurs when I enter the board:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function getChatOnlineUserIDs() in [...]index.template.php

Any idea how to fix this?

Bump.

Digit tried renaming the file no such luck, even deleted it but no joy, any other suggestions?

I'm having what is likely a stupid simple problem, although I have already referred to the FAQ and searched the topic I can't seem to find an answer perhaps someone could point me in the right direction.

I installed the mod, the shoutbox works fine in my theme (Anecedota) there is no chat button there in that particular theme though. When I switch to the default theme the chat button is there and works great.   

I can't find thte button code in the default theme and I have not been able to construct a button code that works in that theme, I can get the button visible but it does not fire up chat in a new window as I have checked in the admin panel. I need to get the button code or get pointed at where the code is in default so I can copy it to the theme (if this will work)

Thanks and sorry if this has been asked I just can't find the info

Search in your themes index.template.php for

Code Select Expand

if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))

and add chat to the end like so

Code Select Expand

if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm', 'chat')))

Then look for any place within your button section, I'd look for this

Code Select Expand

// The [calendar]!
if ($context['allow_calendar'])
echo '<li', $current_action == 'calendar' ? ' id="chosen"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=calendar"><span>' , $txt['calendar24'] , '</span></a></li>';


and place this after it

Code Select Expand

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


See if that works.
If not, you could attach your index.template.php and I or another will have a look at it for you.
Good luck

Beneath every mod download section, there is a part which states "Manual Install Instructions for SMF", this is where you'll find what code to add.
Some theme buttons are structured different though, such as yours

I've been using this mod on my site for about 3 months and it's great.

Today we were chatting and one of the admins noticed that whenever you clicked submit or hit enter, the status bar at the bottom left of the internet browser would say "waiting for scooteringusa.com [nofollow]". It's a scooter blog.

I refreshed and it went away and the chat got a little faster after that. I've never seen it happen before.

Any idea on what could have caused this?

Thanks Sabre, the button code didn't quite work but it was a great starting point, it was functional but displayed a tiny button without the right color or size text. A little messing around resulted in this:

Code Select Expand

// How about the [Chat] button?
$chatPath = str_replace("index.php", "chat/index.php", $scripturl);
   $num = (empty($modSettings['enableChatButtonNo'])) ? 0 : count(chatOnlineUsers());
   echo '<li', $current_action == 'Chat' ? ' id="chosen"' : '', '><a href="', $chatPath, '?action=chat" target="_blank"', $scripturl, '?action=chat"><span>' , Chat , '</span></a></li>';

This seems to be both functional and display right.

I still don't know jack but after getting really lucky with this and the arcade button I am seriously considering stocking up on lotto tickets

Anyhow I hope that button code is useful to someone else as well.

@ ardd
Arrgg, sorry bud, I forgot to add the span tags lol
This should help it perform 'all' of it's designed functions, if you choose to use them.

Code Select Expand

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

@ NaWaR
digit is correct.
You have not provided any information besides 'I had Errors Appears'.
What were the errors you speak of?
Please take a little time to read [THIS] and [THIS].
They will enable people to assist you with more efficiency.

Cheers

what to do to make the shoutbox appear in the forum?
thank you.

[Arantor]

You will need to add it to your theme manually, that's why it doesn't appear. This is a common issue in 1.1.x mods. (Please also update to 1.1.10 as soon as convenient for a security patch)

Please see: Manual Installation of Mods

[NaWaR]
