[Released] Handymans Chat with Sound and Archive

[lpu183]

This sb got problem in chrome and opera. After the type You hear 2 different sounds. In IE i got sound after some delay. But nice idea...I would recommend delaytime on busy boards, example:

Delay is 0,5 s

1. User x typed within 0,2s - no sound
2. User y typed within 0,3 - no sound
3. User z typed after y within 0,6s - sound

Its very simple to implement

Works great on 3.0.6. Thanks again.

Since no one wanted to make this MOD work with subsilver2, I took the time to make it work.
Enjoy.

^ Thank you but pagination still doesn't work. It shows all the messages in the first page (for example I set it to 50 on chat.php and I currently have like 500 messages, but they aren't being divided in each page).

It works fine for me. I've made a few changes for chat archive pagination.

Is there a solution for this by now? I love the chat and all works fine but I don´t like that all people can read it. I would like that only registered user can read the chat and the archive, no guests. Could you help me please?

I would also like to know if the archive can be viewed by those with admin or moderator permissions only. Dont want guests or regular users to have access if they stumble upon the URL

It could pretty easily be done. I will see if maybe I can dig up the code for you to alter, it's a one to two liner I think, I just can't remember off the top of my head. For regular users, many of the users on my site like to use it for looking back at what was posted over the past day, that is why I leave it there. The reason I left it visible to guests/bots is 'cause I wanted google to index it, that way I can search it if I want. I guess maybe I could block it from guests however.

Here's what you need to do:

Open index_body.html and search for this code:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE chat_body.html -->

Replace it with this one:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->
<!-- INCLUDE chat_body.html -->
<!-- ELSE -->
You need to log in to access the chat.
<!-- ENDIF -->


If you like to make the archive visible only for moderators and admins, try this:
Open chat_arch_body.html and add this code at the beginning :

Code: Select all

<!-- IF U_MCP -->

At the end add this code:

Code: Select all

<!-- ELSE -->
You are not allowed to access the chat archive.
<!-- ENDIF -->

Hope this helps.
