[BETA] AJAX Chat MOD

[Marcos Aguila Marcos]

Hey there
A few questions from the mod install impaired lol
First of all I'm using phpbb3, I've downloaded the ajax zip, extracted, looked at the what appears to be directions but I came to full stop there. Here's the question, what do I do now? rofl
This is the first time I've tried to mod my forums, but I'm guessing by the installation time all I have to do now is upload the chat folder to styles? or no.. help me out here?
Thanks in advance.

Ok .. we followed the first tutorial but we're stuck at the DIY part which is the end of the install file
DIY Instructions

These are manual instructions that cannot be performed automatically. You should follow these instructions carefully.

browse to chat_install.php?mode=install to install the chat database.
Remove the chat_install.php when you are finished

what does that mean? browse to chat_install mode =install and where do i do this?

you need to direct your URL to chat_install mode=install

So it would be http://www.yoursite.com/phpBB3/chat_install mode=install to install the Chat

Just a little note on Jaymie1989's response,
When using modes, there needs to be a ? in there

Code: Select all

http://www.yoursite.com/phpBB3/chat_install.php?mode=install

Is there anywhere I could get a subsilver2 chat_body.html ?

[Sniper_E]

The subsilver2 chat_body.html is in the download. Look in the extracted files you have before you ask for it.
Handyman named that directory subSilver instead of subsilver2 but the subsilver2 chat template is in there.

Again, just wanted to say very cool mod. I do have one request: is there anyway to add an audible notification when somebody posts a message? Thanks.

[Sniper_E]

Hey, Handyman did that with our chat and it had to go. That got annoying after awhile.
I don't have the old files to see how he did it but I bet it's posted in one of his old posts in his first topic.
But I refuse to go through those 337 pages of his to find it.

Cool, thanks. My box dosen't get a lot of traffic, which is why the audible would be nice. Maybe someone will know where it's at or have it off hand. Can't blame you for not wanting to poor through all that info.

Hello,

I followed carefuly the install, and I read all this topic. I did not enconter issues during installatione except this passage:
find:
<a href="{U_FAQ}" title="{L_FAQ_EXPLAIN}" class="icon-faq">{L_FAQ}</a>

as I am in subsilver2.

So as suggested Craaper, I did not change this line.

But now, everything finished, I went onto my home page, and I don't see any chat, anywhere...I went into the ACP, not better (or I don't search the wright place)

Did I miss something or?

EDIT:
found: my provider is free.fr . I needed to create a "sessions" folder on root directory.
