AjaxChat Integration (latest version 3.2.1)

[Lou69]

Hi,

I am 7 days new to SMF and would like to install the Ajax integrated chat/shout on 2.0 RC3. When using the resident package manager\download\browse; the download link is missing for the file.

Does the missing link indicate that I must do the copy/paste manual installation?

I did try to download via the URL option, the file was not found. What now? ( scratching noodle )

I am curious to know if the Ajax on SourceForge is installable to SMF?

thanks,

Lou

Thats an odd one as I have Aeva Media and chat on my forum with no problems at all.

Trust me, I've tried everything, and this seemed to fix the chat lag and forum browsing delays.  I'd like to have both, but the Ajax is way more important.


And, not sure if we can request anything, but I was wondering if there could be an "afk" (away from keyboard) option memebrs could select under their name.  So, when they are away, something like (afk) would appear before or after their name in the chat.

I have changing display names turned off for memebrs.

Or, is there away to add custom tags like thiese?

There is an edit which can be made to add afk to members names

Have a look at the ajax link in mrtrc266s signature.

I am very busy at the mo otherwise I would get it for ya.

No prob, bud

I don't mind doing some research. 

Thank You, I appreciate the point in the right direction.

EDIT:::

I checked, and I know that FAQ poat by heart.  Couldn't find anything, I'll try and search the topic. 

300 pages, here i come ...

That bit of code was moved to /Themes/default/Shout.template.php and is for SMF 1.1.XX

I'm not 100% sure about all the other edits but I think they should be the same, I'll have to take a look to update for the most recent versions of SMF when I get time.

Cheers! Great chat box this is too!
Ive added my own smilies to it too and its going great nice work.
Ive looked through the settings though and cant seem to find where i can change how long the messages stay in the chat box for or how many to show... I would like my forum to show the last 30 days of mesages if possible... cheers

30 days will be pushing the limits LOL, that could take quite a load on your server. 3-4 days max is what I'd suggest but the setting is in the /chat/lib/congif.php file for both of the settings you mentioned

Code Select Expand

// Max time difference in hours for messages to display on each request:
$config['requestMessagesTimeDiff'] = 24;
// Max number of messages to display on each request:
$config['requestMessagesLimit'] = 10;

OK here goes! SMF version 1.1.10 (was unable to install 1.1.11 update)
i come back home and my site is totally down & the error message i get is:
Unable to load the 'Shout.english-utf8' language file.
I can't get into the forums at all
i do have ajax chat installed
(i'm NOT a IT person... don't have a clue how to write any code)

Was there a problem when trying to upgrade to 1.1.11? If so what was the error?

ok i've started over with SMF 1.1.11 i've fallowed all the directions to customize the chat room and fix the minor errors except one... when someone clicks the red X to close the chat window without logging out first, it doesn't log them out... i either have to kick their name or wait for them to time out...

excellent mod otherwise thanks

Not sure if this helps or not, never tried it but.....

Hey, mrtrc266!  Just letting you know, right now, it's running fine on the site.  We got  16 memebrs in right now all chatting, and not much lag.

I think the Aeva Media MOD was causing the lag, I'm not sure, but removing it, testing the chat, it worked fine.  Then, I added it again, to test, and it lagged, along with forum browsing was slowed down.

So far so good, bud.  I appreciate your help in this so far

That's reassuring LOL. Glad it's going smooth for you though. You could possibly ask at the Aeva support site to see if they have heard of similar prob?

[mrtrc266]

Thats an odd one as I have Aeva Media and chat on my forum with no problems at all.

It's a little different, he has well over 100 members + guest on his site at any given time

This isn't in the FAQ's yet but there is info on it here....

No the AJAX Chat is not installable on SMF, you need this integration Mod.

I removed the mod tonight and now this is the error I got when I go to the web page.

theme_template_error

I ran repair_settings.php but no luck.  Any ideas?

Thank you for the reply. As for installing, as the download link is missing, does this mean that I have to do a manual install?

[mrtrc266]

No worries try this one.

BTW what didn't you like about AJAX Chat?

[mrtrc266]

@ Lou

I'm sorry I don't know what you mean by "the download link is missing" I just provided the link to download it?

Oh I liked it.  When I logged in as another user it kept coming up with a login window for chat. When logged in it said not authorized and since I was heading to bed I was just going to remove it for now until I had more time to play with it.  This way my users wouldnt open it.

Ohhh.....you just need to set the permissions for your other membergroups to have access to the chat/shout LOL

Admin/Permissions/ [Select MemberGroup]/Modify....

Then you see these options

Access to chat     
Moderate chat    
View shoutBox    
Can shout
