[BETA] AJAX Chat MOD

[nicholasalipaz]

I had that problem, and posted about it several times in the old topic, it was fixed for me by using a new download (the one that is available in the first post of this thread) and by reducing the fastest refresh time from 5 seconds to 10.. seems that every 5 seconds was too fast for some on a slow connection, it just would hang there cycling forever and eventually lock of the browser.

try that to fix Internet Explorer. the settings for the number of seconds are near the top of the chat.php file.

Hey,

First off all, thanks for this great chatbox, I love it

It worked fine for 5 months, and suddenly there was this error message:

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in .../forum/cache/tpl_centura-old_chat_body.html.php on line 276

This also deleted the lower part of the forum, online stats etc etc. What can i do to fix this? I tried clearing cache, but that just temporarily gives another error in template.php

I hope you can help me

I am a complete newb and an idiot with a fast learning curve....HELP!!!

I need either someone to do it for me or give me some first hand help with installing ajax chat. I want it to appear as it did at the top of my forum when I was hosted by freeforums. I really dont want to have to link to a sep. window.


Thanks

that is a little hard to gather what the issue might be without seeing line 276 from your file. Have you made any other additions to your site recently?

The problem is that it's in the cache folder, and those files i cannot download, nor chmod.

chat_body.html line 265 - 278

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->
      <div class="forabg">
         <div class="inner">
            <span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>
            <div class="chatform" align="center">         
               <form name="text" id="text" method="post" action="javascript:void(0);" onsubmit="handle_send('add', this)" autocomplete="off">
                  <strong style="color: white;">{L_MESSAGE}:</strong> <input type="text" tabindex="1" name="message" id="message" class="inputbox chatinput" />
                  <input type="submit" class="button1" value="{L_SUBMIT}" name="submit" tabindex="6" accesskey="s"/> <img src="{T_IMAGESET_PATH}/act_indicator.gif" id="act_indicator" /><br />
               </form>
            </div>
            <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span>
<!-- 276 -->   </div>
      </div>
   <!-- ENDIF -->

When i delete the cache file, the bottom of the page returns, and the error changes:

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in .../public_html/forum/includes/template.php(614) : eval()'d code on line 276

includes/template.php line 275/276

Code: Select all

if (isset($user->theme['template_storedb']) && $user->theme['template_storedb'])
      {

It seems the problem lies somewhere with the DB, 'template_storedb' explains tpl_centura-old_chat_body.html;



To bad i didn't make a backup last week ~-~

Is there any way I can make it so that guests cant see the chat box ?

Edit: index_body.html
<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->
<!-- INCLUDE chat_body.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

I have the same question..tried this but it does not work

[abish]

How do I install it with another template like 360 elite? I know it says subsilver.. I've seen others with the same one with different templates.. can someone help?

[Sniper_E]

The subsilver2 template for the chat should drop into your subsilver2 type style and match your style.
We have a lot of styles out there that have a special layout and codes that may need to be added.

If you have a special layout and the chat template does not match the look of your style....
go here for help on your custom style's chat layout: viewtopic.php?p=75995#p75995
Show a snap shot of what you get with the original downloaded files.

Soooooo does anyone know how to make it so you have to be logged in to see chat? It seems to have been posted a few times but as of yet no answer

[Yuki yuki]

you can change it however you need to, to make it work.
I just wonder how you got phpBB to work?

well when installing phpbb3 i just follow the instruction...

the instruction say "for sqlite you have to write the path and file name to your database, no username or password needed"... i just following it and make a file and stored it in unreadable folder "not readable by bots or hacker, just readable by me or the hosting server admin only" (for the safety) and phpbb3 automatic store the database at that file (that i made for the database stored).

but when i install ajax chat, there no page that i have to write to locate my database.. it just automatic read the "db" folder from phpbb3 which are stored the includes files to make the database table..

so how to add some script so "chat_install.php" read my database and i manually locate my database files.. so ajax chat read that file as my database.

the logical just like this :

phpbb3 used "db" folder that stored includes to make table at database but before that phpbb3 ask me where the database locate so phpbb3 can read the path to it before it read the "db" folder.. after phpbb3 can read the database location it follow the instruction from "db" folder and make the table that needed by phpbb3 at my selection database and path, and phpbb3 make "config.php" for the future read to locate my database.

But at ajax chat.. when i used "chat_install.php?mode=install" it directly follow the instruction from "db" folder and not ask me where i stored my database first.. that why i get the error that say "missing database, blah.. blah.. blah..".

so can u help me to make a new lines of script so ajax chat ask me where i stored my database before it follow the instruction to make table from "db" folder includes instruction..

so the new lines of script can be like this

ajax chat read "Config.php" as a global include before ajax chat follow the instruction from "db" folder to make table

or

before ajax chat follow the instruction from "db" folder to make table at database, it ask me the path to my database first.. after all instruction have been made, by automatic ajax chat make new *.php as a global include for the future read to my database location

i just can't implementation it with php language.. i really suck with php language

so can u help me with this
thanks
