Tutorial: how to COMPLETELY integrate FlashChat into SMF so you have a cool CHAT

[James Woodcock]

Great stuff for sure though, and only a few quid

[marcnyc]

There is no documentation provided with the package for integrating it with smf, though if you look at the one for IPB and do the same (obviously uncommenting the line for SMF not IPB) it will work.

Actually there is, but for some strange reason it is in one of the subfolders. I too first thought there wasn't but then I found it. Just look in ALL subfolders and you'll find it, I promise!

[James Woodcock]

Is there a way to make the chat room show the users visible name rather then their log in?

I think this would be a great alteration, anyone figued out how to do it yet?  Im guessing it is done via the smf cms mod?

[James Woodcock]

Ahhh Steve my programmer has done it, if you want it to display the visible name instead of the user name ie:  James Woodcock instead of GlideM then:

In file >>> FlashChat\inc\cmses\smfCMS.php

Find:

Code Auswählen Erweitern

function SMFCMS() {

    $this->loginStmt = new Statement("SELECT ID_MEMBER as id, memberName AS login, passwd, is_activated from {$GLOBALS['db_prefix']}members WHERE memberName=? AND passwd=?");
    $this->getUserStmt = new Statement("SELECT ID_MEMBER AS id, memberName AS login, ID_GROUP as status FROM {$GLOBALS['db_prefix']}members WHERE ID_MEMBER=?");
    $this->getUsersStmt = new Statement("SELECT ID_MEMBER as id, memberName as login FROM {$GLOBALS['db_prefix']}members");

Replace:

Code Auswählen Erweitern

function SMFCMS() {

    $this->loginStmt = new Statement("SELECT ID_MEMBER as id, memberName AS login, passwd, is_activated from {$GLOBALS['db_prefix']}members WHERE memberName=? AND passwd=?");
    $this->getUserStmt = new Statement("SELECT ID_MEMBER AS id, realName AS login, ID_GROUP as status FROM {$GLOBALS['db_prefix']}members WHERE ID_MEMBER=?");
    $this->getUsersStmt = new Statement("SELECT ID_MEMBER as id, realName as login FROM {$GLOBALS['db_prefix']}members");

Best chat integration! Thanks!!

[marcnyc]

you're welcome ;-)

[Elijah Bliss]

you're welcome ;-)

Integration went smoothly. This chatroom is the bomb. Thanks for the tutorial!

[marcnyc]

Awesome to hear this, ESPECIALLY when it comes from a supposingly talented and php-experienced charter member that I am sure could have come up with it too easier than I did with my limited knowledge

[Owdy]

It doewsnt allow äö etc in nicknames. How can i fix that?

[marcnyc]

I am sorry, I can't answer this. You'll have to take this on up with the developer.

[Owdy]

Ok.  In firefox that iframe shows scrollbars in both ways. I cant get rid of those.

Idea, if user is chatting action=chat , that would be nice if it shows in whosonline list. Anyone want make mod for this?

Add to Modifications.finnish.php:

$txt['whoall_chat'] = 'Chatting!';

Off hand... I think that should work .

Thanks Owdy.

Now, if somebody still found the way to get rooms only for certain groups... rooms behind passwords or so. I have understood that this would not be possible - yet.

[Owdy]

Its not my code, but welcome

Code Auswählen Erweitern

';


$chatrequest = db_query("
            SELECT COUNT(*) AS numb
            FROM  fc_connections
            WHERE userid IS NOT NULL", __FILE__, __LINE__);
         list ($chatcount) = mysql_fetch_row($chatrequest);   
         mysql_free_result($chatrequest);
         
if ( @$_GET['action'] != "chat" ) {
if ( $chatcount == "1" ) {

} else {
$singularplural1 = " on";
$singularplural2 = "jäsentä";
}
if (!$context['user']['is_guest'])
echo ' <font size="-2" >' . $chatcount . ' '.$singularplural2.' chattäilemässä.</font><br>

'; I use that so guests cant see that notise. How to change that so it wont sho nothing if chat is empty?

[marcnyc]

You forgot to read the addition I made, right after the code you copied, you simply have to put the echo statement inside an if statement that checks whether the variable $chatcount is different than zero.

Basically your last three lines of code:

Code Auswählen Erweitern

if (!$context['user']['is_guest'])
echo ' <font size="-2" >' . $chatcount . ' '.$singularplural2.' chattäilemässä.</font><br>

';

have to be replaced with these ones:

Code Auswählen Erweitern

if (!$context['user']['is_guest'] || $chatcount != 0 )
echo ' <font size="-2" >' . $chatcount . ' '.$singularplural2.' chattäilemässä.</font><br>

';

I have simply added "|| $chatcount != 0" which means "or if $chatcount is different than zero".
Hope this helps.
