AjaxChat Integration (latest version 3.2.1)

[mrtrc266]

Thanks its working now. But can i disable the "Chat" Button + Chat? I only want to use the Shoutbox.

Glad you got it going.

You can't disable the chat cuz that's what runs the shout box but you can remove the button.

Go to /yoursite/index.php?action=admin;area=modsettings;sa=chat and uncheck "Enable online chat users numbering on chat button"

Then Open, Find and Remove the following...

/Sources/Subs.php

Code Select Expand

   $num = empty($modSettings['enableChatButtonNo']) ? 0 : count(chatOnlineUsers());
   $chatButton = 'Chat';
   $chatButton .= ($num > 0) ?  ('('.$num.')') : '';
   $chatLink = str_replace("index.php", "chat/index.php", $scripturl);
   if (!empty($modSettings['chatPopUp']))
      $chatLink .= '" onclick="openWindow(this.href);this.blur();return false;';
And

Code Select Expand

         'chat' => array(
         'title' => $chatButton,
         'href' => $chatLink,
         'show' => true,
         'sub_buttons' => array(
         ),
      ),

I searched this thread and did not see this covered, apologies if it has been.

No guest accounts are available, so the login/registration screen is first seen.

The Chat button appears between Help and Login. I would like to remove this button from being dispayed. I still want chat to work in other areas and for the Chat button to be visible in the other areas, just do not need this Chat button visible at the login page.

I am using a custom theme, RGBB Curves from Crip.

thanks,

Lou

@Lou69: Would help to know what version of SMF you're using. The code's totally different between SMF 1.1.x and 2.0. If you're restricting it on the login page, what about the registration page? In fact, what about whether users are logged in generally?

[mrtrc266]

No guest accounts are available, so the login/registration screen is first seen.

As stated in the FAQ's set permissions to allow guests to access chat

What Arantor said LOL

I'm not even sure if you can set it to show on a per page basis, from my under standing it's either in the menu or not, but you can remove it / disable it entirely or make it visible on a member group basis.

[Arantor]

Well, actually you can make it on a per page basis with a little work, but it depends more on what version of SMF as to how easy it is.

[mrtrc266]

Ahhh very nice, will need some help with that one, I wouldn't have a clue

[Arantor]

Really, it's just PHP, meaning you can trigger it off anything in SMF if you so desire, it's just a case of knowing what to check against. Button visibility is really quite easy in the scheme of things in either version. In 1.1 you just preface the new echo with an if(), in 2.0 you just attach the condition you'd be checking in the if() into 'show' => (condition) in Subs.php.

There's no reason you even have to check normal SMF stuff; in SimpleDesk we have this mean ol' entry for example:

Code Select Expand

'show' => $modSettings['helpdesk_active'] && shd_allowed_to(array('access_helpdesk', 'admin_helpdesk')),

I've just realised that with the new permissions it doesn't actually need both to be checked now, but the principle holds - you can do anything to check, provided that it returns true or false at the end (or, at least, it's something that can be cast to true/false)

@ Harry, attach that file please

done.


other question:
Why do Co-Admins or Mods have the same Color as normal Members in Shoutbox? Just the Admin is red. Groups with moderation rights are green in shoutbox.

[mrtrc266]

Here you go, you didn't add to this $smcFunc; to the end of this line.

Code Select Expand

function BoardIndex()
{
    global $txt, $user_info, $sourcedir, $modSettings, $context, $settings, $scripturl, $smcFunc;

AJAX Chat doesn't integrate Membergroup Colors, it would be AWESOME if it did though.

You have to set the colors for Chat Bot, Guest, Mods, Users and Admins in /chat/css/yourstyle.css and chat/css/shoutbox.css

In yourstyle.css look for

Code Select Expand

#content .guest

In shoutbox.css look for

Code Select Expand

#ajaxChatContent .guest

Sorry Guys, tried posting twice, but had power failures. Storms in areas. 

My version is 2.0 RC3.  I did go back and check the permissions, the Guest account cannot browse forums and the permissions for Guest were all none/not enabled.

While Guest cannot browse, when on the initial login page, registration agreement or registration form page; the Chat button is visible and can be used to pop up chat box. User obviously cannot login as guest has no viable account. I just want to remove the visibility of Chat button those three pages. I would rather user not access chat unless already logged into via normal method.

Sorry for poor explanation the first time. 

thanks,

Lou

Nice easy one.

Subs.php

Code (find) Select Expand

'chat' => array(
'title' => $chatButton,
'href' => $chatLink,
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

Replace with:

Code (find) Select Expand

'chat' => array(
'title' => $chatButton,
'href' => $chatLink,
'show' => allowedTo('chat_access'),
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

That makes it driven from the permission, so if they have permission to access the chat, it shows the link.

Moderate shoutBox without √.
But member still can delete own shout message?
How to disable it?

And i need this feature: member can only edit own chat message
SMF1.1.11

[Lou69]

Nice easy one.

Subs.php

Code (find) Select Expand

'chat' => array(
'title' => $chatButton,
'href' => $chatLink,
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

Replace with:

Code (find) Select Expand

'chat' => array(
'title' => $chatButton,
'href' => $chatLink,
'show' => allowedTo('chat_access'),
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

That makes it driven from the permission, so if they have permission to access the chat, it shows the link.

You are an absolute genius! The fact that visiblity is driven by Permission is much more secure and cleaner than just having the button invisible. It works like a charm and was exactly what I needed.

Thank you so very much good sir.

I relocated the shoutbox, but now i have no idea how to add padding to it.

[mrtrc266]

@ psyxeon

Upload this Shout.template.php to your /Themes/default/

Then find
/chat/css/shoutbox.css

Code Select Expand

/*
* Positioning
*/
Add After

Code Select Expand

#sb {
    padding-left:9px;
    padding-right:9px;
}

[psyxeon]

Thanks a lot mate!
We fixed it writing

Let me try your fix 

index.template.php

Code Select Expand

echo '<br class="clear">
<div id="shoutbox_wrapper">';
template_shout_above();
echo '</div>';

index.css

Code Select Expand

#shoutbox_wrapper
{
padding: 1em;
/*margin: 0 10px;*/
}

We have a big spacing between the link tree and the shout box, any quick fix?

[mrtrc266]

What was the result of what I posted above?

[psyxeon]

The same
