Thank you very much for your help.  I made all the changes as you prescribed, but my chat button in the menu still doesn't show the users in chat count, nor does the Who's Online list indicate a user is in chat..

I do thank you in advance again for all the great help you provide here.

If you would like to demo the chat feature for yourself, I made a demo account:

User: test
pwd: test
URL: http://realperformancemustangs.com

Here is an image of what I mean, the top links like profile, search, home, etc. Would show number of users in chat.

That should be a default feature for AJAX Integration.

In your Forums Admin Enable online chat users numbering on chat   button?

For SMF 1.1.X Admin/Configuration/Features and Options/
For   SMF 2 RC1  Admin/Configuration/Modifications/Chat/

Ok I found out the button was unchecked, however it didn't fix it. Here is the two coding places for my chatroom button. I added it manually.

Code Select Expand

<link rel="chatroom" href="/chat/index.php" target="_BLANK" />

Code Select Expand

if ($context['allow_search'])
    echo '<li', $current_action == 'search' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search">' , $txt[182] , '</a></li>';
    echo '<li', $current_action == 'gallery' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">Gallery</a></li>';
    echo '<li', $current_action == 'chatroom' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="/chat/index.php" target="_BLANK">Chatroom</a></li>';
    echo '<li', $current_action == 'game' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="game.php">Game</a></li>';

You're missing the code that allows you to show the # of user in chat on the chat button in your index.template.php file.

Code Select Expand

echo '<li', $current_action == 'chatroom' ? ' class="chosen"' : '', '><a href="/chat/index.php" target="_BLANK">Chatroom</a></li>';

   // the [chat] button
   $chatPath = str_replace("index.php", "chat/index.php", $scripturl);
   $num = (empty($modSettings['enableChatButtonNo'])) ? 0 : count(chatOnlineUsers());
   echo $context['browser']['is_ie4'] ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '', '
      <li class="chosen">
         <a href="', $chatPath, '"', empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']) ? 'target="_blank"' : ' onclick="openWindow(this.href);this.blur();return false;"', '>', $txt['chat'], ($num > 0) ?  ('('.$num.')') : '' , '</a>
      </li>';

Attach your index.template.php file if that doesn't work.

@ Stigmartyr

Your BoardIndex.php is installed correctly (users in chat is working fine on the bottom of your forum)

Attach your index.template.php file here please.

O?  I guess I was looking in the wrong place.  I was looking at index.php?action=who and also there is a Users Online block (its that DashBoard block), if you click the servers tab where it shows recent posts.  Attached Ps_Blank/index.template.php file as requested.

LOL I hope it's as simple as this, attached is a screen shot of the file you just attached (unedited) on my test site that seems to be working fine.

Did you enable these setting in your Admin?

   
• Please be sure   to check the following settings in the Admin Panel.
• For SMF 1.1.X Admin/Configuration/Features and Options/

Enable the ShoutBox?
Check for ShoutBox on any page or uncheck for only in index page:
Integrate shout box and chat room?
Chat in popup page?
Enable online chat users numbering on chat button?
Show online users below total logged in time section?

[mrtrc266]

You are the man.  You have my permission to slap me with a large trout.  I totally forgot to set the features options.  I checked perms.  I think I need a vacation

LOL, glad you got it sorted Stig. Happens to the best of us

Ive gotten soft on SMF 2.  The layout is so much better for admins.

my user want to invite from the chat other forum user with pm  for example:

in the chat they write (for example)  /invitepm USERNAME and than a mail goes with a simple text to the forum user with pm. Is this going? and who can help?

What's the link you your site? PM me a temp admin account on your forum and FTP access and I'll take a look when I get a sec if you want.

why not? You think its a big deal?

[Arantor]

Possible, sure. Anything's *possible*. It's about whether it's worth the effort of doing it, since sending a PM - as I learned earlier today when adding such a facility into a new area in SimpleDesk - is significantly more complex than it sounds like it should be.

That would probably be a question for the developers of AJAX Chat. They would have a better idea on how to do it if it can be done.

Hi,
Thanks for the Chat integration. Is it possible to place the chat below all the categories?

Thanks
Rajesh

[Abavagada]

I managed to set up a button on each forum to open the chat to the proper channel automatically.

I have a question now which (I hope) is easier to answer.
According to the sourceforge page on setting custom moderators:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ajax-chat/index.php?title=Custom_moderators_and_admins
the forum admins become chat admins, and forum moderators become chat moderators in the forum integration versions of the chat.

However, when a forum moderator becomes a chat moderator, they can moderate ALL channels. I'm wondering if there is a way to restrict them being moderators to just the forums they moderate.

Thanks

an idea for a "mod" for this chat that would make it even more awesome,
have a "nudge" function.. it would liek like this.
*say i wanted to talk to someone but there not lookin at the chat, just lookin at the posts and abut to go offline after
*I could type /nudge /personsname/
*a popup would display telling them they have been nudged

OR something like that. would it be possible?
