Many browsers will not allow cross-domain scripts...

In other words, because your javascript is calling content from somewhere else (not your own site), the browser will prevent it. (at least any browser with proper security settings sill do so)

It's weird - I had it up and running using iFrames and now it stopped working.. I set up a separate HTML file that I access via iFrame.. When I just use the HTML file (outside) EZPortal it works.. within EZPortal no such luck.. Using the HTML Block -

<CENTER>
<iframe
width="650"
height="620"
scrolling="no"
align="top"
frameborder="0"
src="http://www.xxxx.com/chat/videochat.html [nofollow]"></iframe>
</CENTER>

Here's the HTML file..

<html>
<body>

<script>
var tinychat = { room: 'xxxxxx', login: "tc", bcast: "restrict", api: "none", join: "auto" };

</script>
<script src='http://tinychat.com/js/embed.js' [nofollow]></script>
<div id='client'></div>


</body>
</html>

Really would be cool to embed TinyChat into the forum - hopefully it can be done either EzBlock or PageManager..

any suggestions?

If you view the source of the page how does the html code look for your chat block

Hi all, I havent used this forum for a couple of months now. Is it just me or has this forum changed in the last couple of months?

Any how was looking at this mod and wanted to know how it integrates with simple portal. What I wanted to do was to create a custom home page to be displayed so that when you first go to the site this page is diplayed. Will this mod do this and is it compatible with Simple Portal?

Basically I'm not a HTML or PHP guy.. just use the mod's to try to accomplish my tweaking..

When I view the page source.. the chat source looks pretty much the same as what was in the ezBlock..

Here's the snip from the page view source..

<iframe
width="750"
height="620"
scrolling="no"
align="top"
frameborder="0"
src="http://www.softech-sol.com/chat/videochat.html [nofollow] [nofollow]"></iframe>

I'm clueless on this kind-of stuff

zimode · November 22, 2009, 09:20:18 PM

I Have totally blown it.. I have messed up my Forum by trying to add an EZblock.. Not the MOD's fault, but mine.. I need to delete an EZBlock block id 29.. as I cannot delete it via the user interface.. I can't do anything in ADMIN mode as the BLOCK has messed up the user..

So any ideas..

vbgamer45 · November 22, 2009, 09:31:35 PM

Go inside the database look for the smf_ezp_layout table delete the last entry

zimode · November 22, 2009, 09:37:55 PM

Whew! I ended up going into the `smf_ezp_block_layout' table via phpMYAdmin and editing the block to "undo" what I did and then was able to delete via the EzBlock user interface (mod)..

Back to square on trying to embed the TinyChat..

vbgamer45 · November 22, 2009, 09:44:59 PM

Glad you got it fixed!

Does ezPortal support blocks between postings ?

I would need this to put Google Adsense ads between
the postings.

Many thanks.

zimode · November 22, 2009, 11:17:10 PM

Yeah.. I was flipping out for a sec.. but the end user didn't see the mistake so that was good..

I got into trouble when I tried to cut & past the script code and since I have no idea what I'm doing.. just blew it..

But I'm committed to trying to get it to work..Yep.. I'm a glutton for punishment..

If anyone has any idea on how I can embed TinyChat.. that would be great!!

thanks.

no... you are looking for the ad mod, none of the portals will do what you are asking.

Simpleportal and EZPortal are both portal systems... they are not compatibile with each other since they both do the same sort of thing

Scott, hope you see this. I'm using ezportal and don't have simple portal. I find ezportal to be more flexible. I tried simple and it put too much up there that I would have to sort out, with ezportal you choose from the outset what you want and it was easier for me, a newbie, to set up.

Yes, it does allow you to create a homepage that is seperate from the forum and in doing so you also get a forum button that takes members to the forum. You can create multiple pages wioth it. If you install vbgamers other mods, like links, articles, gallery, you can have everything you need.

Hope this helps, only one way to find out if it suits you, give it a go. You can't have simple portal and this one but you wouldn't need simple as this does what you need.

Just downloaded the update and my real reason for popping in here was to say thank you to vbgamer for all your hard work and continued support and development for this mod.

I'm still on the hunt here.. not giving up!

So if I copy the .js script over to my domain that may clear it up.. the problem is I can call it from my HTML page.. and it works.. both are referencing the script on another domain..tinychat.. and both my domains are a sub-domain on a web hosting service (bluehost.com)

my domain for the forum is xxxxforum.org [nofollow]
my domain for the HTML is xxxx-sol.com/chat/ [nofollow]

The xxx-sol.com/chat [nofollow] works (videochat.html), but when I try to use the iFrame to reference as a source it doesn't.. But I swear I had it working for a while.. then "poof" ..

zimode · November 23, 2009, 09:07:18 PM

I finally figured out what was happening with embeding the TInyChat code.. Looks like EzPortal takes the single quote ' and changes it to something else "'" .. So I just changed all the single quote ' to double quote " and it worked..

vbgamer45 · November 23, 2009, 09:37:22 PM

Ah cool glad you got it working!

FireDitto · November 27, 2009, 04:06:36 AM

It FINALLY installed for me.

I have NO idea what it's issue was, but you know... w/e. It's installed and working beautifully for me now =) I reckon my computer/internet was probably just kicking a ******

haha

vbgamer45 · November 27, 2009, 11:42:00 AM

Glad you finally got it working! That was a strange one.

I'm working on a mac and when I download the package, it automatically unzips the package whether I want it to or not. In order to upload it to my site it says it has to be zipped, so I zip it but it then says that the file is invalid or corrupt. how can I upload the package without it being zipped since I can't control my comp unzipping the file?

vbgamer45 · December 16, 2009, 11:06:45 PM

Try this adding a a package server
http://www.smfhacks.com/index.php/topic,15.0.html

Go inside your forum Admin -> Packages- > Download Packages
In the Add Server page
Enter Server Name: SMF Hacks
for Url enter: http://www.smfhacks.com

And click Add Server

After that the page should refresh and the package server should be listed click on the "[Browse]" link then find ezportal inside it and click download

ravyn42 · December 16, 2009, 11:12:06 PM

Thank you very much! that did the trick!

I haven't worked on my site for well over a year and I have forgotten how to do everything. And after updating it some things changed which confused me even more. but I got it working now. You're awesome.
