[DONE] Integrated Chat v1.1 for SMF BETA 4

[ms_ukyankee]

Please forgive a stupid question, but is this chat tied to any particular IRC server... or can you choose your own?

It's nearly impossible to find an applet where you can choose your own server, unless you're running the irc server yourself and host your own chat applet. This one is from everywherechat.com. I've been using it for almost 2 years, no complaints, and fairly easy to use, supporting a lot of irc features such as file transfer, smileys, sounds, etc.

Sorry bout this stupid question but when i open the .mod file it says Run integratedchat_1.1.mod in boardmodSE, what is boardmodSE?

[ms_ukyankee]

You don't have to use boardmod, you can follow the steps in the file, looking for text in the files named, and in the case, adding the text in the add after tags. Boardmod is a convenience for automatic installation of mods with a lot of steps. This mod is small.

ok, it says i have to add :
// Integrated Chat 1.0 Settings
         array('select', 'chatLanguage', &$txt['chatLanguage'], 'm12', array('embedded' => 'English', 'french' => 'French', 'german' => 'German',
            'greek' => 'Greek', 'italian' => 'Italian', 'malaysian' => 'Malaysian', 'nepal' => 'Nepal', 'polish' => 'Polish',
            'spanish' => 'Spanish', 'turkey' => 'Turkish')),
         array('text', 'chatRoomName', &$txt['chatRoomName']),
         array('text', 'chatAppend', &$txt['chatAppend']),
         array('text', 'chatWidth', &$txt['chatWidth']),
         array('text', 'chatHeight', &$txt['chatHeight']),
         array('text', 'chatPassword', &$txt['chatPassword']),
         array('select', 'chatRoomsTab', &$txt['chatRoomsTab'], 'm12', array('true' => 'On', 'false' => 'Off')),

After &$txt['chatTitle'], but i cant find that anywhere in ModSettings.php

[ms_ukyankee]

I don't think that's quite right, let me explain:

Code Select Expand

<edit file>
sources/ModSettings.php
</edit file>

<search for>
array('text', 'cal_maxspan', &$txt['calendar53']),
</search>

<add after>
&$txt['chatTitle'],
// Integrated Chat 1.0 Settings
array('select', 'chatLanguage', &$txt['chatLanguage'], 'm12', array('embedded' => 'English', 'french' => 'French', 'german' => 'German',
'greek' => 'Greek', 'italian' => 'Italian', 'malaysian' => 'Malaysian', 'nepal' => 'Nepal', 'polish' => 'Polish',
'spanish' => 'Spanish', 'turkey' => 'Turkish')),
array('text', 'chatRoomName', &$txt['chatRoomName']),
array('text', 'chatAppend', &$txt['chatAppend']),
array('text', 'chatWidth', &$txt['chatWidth']),
array('text', 'chatHeight', &$txt['chatHeight']),
array('text', 'chatPassword', &$txt['chatPassword']),
array('select', 'chatRoomsTab', &$txt['chatRoomsTab'], 'm12', array('true' => 'On', 'false' => 'Off')),
</add after>

<search for>
'default_personalText', 'time_format',
</search>

<add after>
'chatLanguage', 'chatRoomName', 'chatAppend', 'chatWidth',
'chatHeight', 'chatPassword',
</add after>


You've got the right file, so well done there. However, for the first step, you need to find what's in the search for tags:

Code Select Expand


array('text', 'cal_maxspan', &$txt['calendar53']),

and add this after it:

Code Select Expand

&$txt['chatTitle'],
// Integrated Chat 1.0 Settings
array('select', 'chatLanguage', &$txt['chatLanguage'], 'm12', array('embedded' => 'English', 'french' => 'French', 'german' => 'German',
'greek' => 'Greek', 'italian' => 'Italian', 'malaysian' => 'Malaysian', 'nepal' => 'Nepal', 'polish' => 'Polish',
'spanish' => 'Spanish', 'turkey' => 'Turkish')),
array('text', 'chatRoomName', &$txt['chatRoomName']),
array('text', 'chatAppend', &$txt['chatAppend']),
array('text', 'chatWidth', &$txt['chatWidth']),
array('text', 'chatHeight', &$txt['chatHeight']),
array('text', 'chatPassword', &$txt['chatPassword']),
array('select', 'chatRoomsTab', &$txt['chatRoomsTab'], 'm12', array('true' => 'On', 'false' => 'Off')),

The steps are in pairs, first the <search for> then the add afters/replaces/add befores. Does that make sense?

[DeadlyDemon]

o..ok lol i get it now. but i cant find

Code Select Expand

array('text', 'cal_maxspan', &$txt['calendar53']),  in ModSettings.php

[ms_ukyankee]

Lines 285-287:

Code Select Expand

// One day events or multi-day?
array('check', 'cal_allowspan', &$txt['calendar52']),
array('text', 'cal_maxspan', &$txt['calendar53']),

[DeadlyDemon]

  uhhh i got beta 5 public lol i forgot 2 mention that...doh

[ms_ukyankee]

What's changed, the mod? If so, I didn't know either.

Edit: Its dawned on me you mean the files, I haven't upgraded to B5 Public yet. Guess I'll do that tonight...

[DeadlyDemon]

hmmmm does it have 2 be under array('text', 'cal_maxspan', &$txt['calendar53']), wont it work under anything else?

[ms_ukyankee]

The arrays are different, just from a quick look. I'd have to really dig in to figure it out.

Any idea when an update to this mod might be coming? I was going to install it on my live board tonight.

[DeadlyDemon]

uhh does that mean we have 2 wait till un update 

[MarcTouchsMySoul]

Marc,
Please read back a few notes to what ms_ukyankee said about step 3.


ms_ukyankee,
I'll take a look at beta 5 on monday when I'm at work and update the mod. I won't have time this weekend.

I understand that. I haven't upgraded yet anyway (no time), so I'm just going to skip it for now so I can get chat going for my users, and upgrade later when this mod is updated.

[Goosemoose]

I'll be done in about 30 minutes

[Goosemoose]

Okay, done and posted in a new thread.
