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

unrelenting · July 20, 2006, 09:07:09 PM

What do I need to change in the flashchat code to display users display name rather than their member name. Some people have since changed their display name and no one knows them as their original registered name.

I know you just change a variable in smf but how and where do I change it in flashchat to achieve this result?

Anyone?

it is in inc/cmses/cmsSMF2.php

There was some membername or screenname thingy.

PS. Djafarich, sanmisan?

Also guys, you that iframe window showing "Who's chatting". Please advise a code to make it list users horisontally, like "Total online today", rather than unordered list (ul li). If also colour them accordingly and link to their profiles... ummm.

It seems that there is some "doc" on Tufats.com by Geno but I can't find it!

With one of my IBP sites I have managed to get the Flashchat inside by using this

Code Select

<html>
<center>
<head>
<title>TITLE</title>
<meta name="generator" content="">
</head>

<body bgcolor="Black" text="white" link="blue" vlink="purple" alink="red">
<p><iframe name="ifrm1" src="http://www.yoursite/forum/chat/flashchat.php" width="800" height="600px" frameborder="1"></iframe></p>
</body>

</html></center>

How do I go about inserting this into a new page (HTML or PHP?) so that when the page is accessed it shows flashchat in an "Iframe"?

Has anyone updated this hack for SMF 1.1.1 ?
Looks like it would be a nice addition for us.

I did this first for RC2, but I just did all of the same bits in several 1.1.1 forums last week.
All information is the same.

Ok, thanks... I'll go over the 17 pages of stuff again and try to see where I went wrong.

Simplemachines Cowboy · January 04, 2007, 01:26:42 PM

The important stuff is on the first page, first post.
The rest is some further tweaks to the displayed information.

Ok thanks pal.
I'm trying to figure out how to get my remember "forever" logon to remember anything at all looool. Then I'll get back to making the chat nicer.

Hi everyone,
I've created a mod which allows you to completely integrate FlashChat into SMF (no iframe needed). You may find it at http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=611

That's fantastic Daniel15... I'm planning to set that up once I get my mail bug and "remember forever" password option working.

I don't want to add any other problems until these things are working correctly.

Good job though and thanks for the heads up!

can anybody help me center the code that shows user in chat at the top of all pages ?

Thanks

Great stuff

Simplemachines Cowboy · January 21, 2007, 10:39:19 PM

You can try this (not tested):
In index.template.php, FIND:

Code Select

		echo '
				<td width="90%" class="titlebg2">
					<span class="mediumtext">', template_flash_chat(), '</span>
				</td>';

Replace with:

Code Select

		echo '
				<td width="90%" class="titlebg2" align="center">
					<span class="mediumtext">', template_flash_chat(), '</span>
				</td>';

thanks but actually i am talking about this bit of code that i added from the first post of this topic. Its in my index.template.php. It tells how many users are using the chat.. my site is danish so i translated some of the code

Can you help me center the output from this code please

Code Select

	// The main content should go here.  A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
	echo '
	<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>';
     $chatrequest = db_query("
            SELECT COUNT(*) AS numb 
            FROM  smf_fc_connections
            WHERE userid IS NOT NULL", __FILE__, __LINE__);
         list ($chatcount) = mysql_fetch_row($chatrequest);    
         mysql_free_result($chatrequest);
         
	if ( @$_GET['action'] != "chat" ) {
		if ( $chatcount == "1" ) {
			$singularplural1 = "";
			$singularplural2 = "";
		} else {
			$singularplural1 = "";
			$singularplural2 = "mer";
		}
	if ( $chatcount != 0 )
		echo 'Lige nu er der ' . $singularplural1 . ' <font color="#FF0000">' . $chatcount . ' Medlem'.$singularplural2.' inde på chatten!</font>';
	}

Simplemachines Cowboy · January 22, 2007, 04:32:58 PM

Let me make sure, you want the output of that statement to be centered?
So that will make that section look like this:

Users Online
2 Guests, 10 Users 2 Users in Chat
(with the user list here, all the way to the right edge----------------------------------------------------)

And I should verify, what version of SMF are you using?
This particular hack is written for the old version 1.0.
If you are using 1.1 then you need to follow these directions, which are slightly different:
