Chat module? something like facebook style

registered · Posted: Fri Aug 14, 2009 7:23 am

Ok , thx for pointing me to this file gasj , but the weirdest part is not the #main_container but the html_body which I assumed you mis-wrote in your explanations.

Code:




html, body {


   margin:0px; /* FF hack: or we'll have double scrollbar showing on the browser */


   overflow:hidden;  hide browser's main scrollbar */





}

I have commented the overflow:hidden , That did the trick for me.
Only question is , why would I hide my scrollbar :p

i'll post some screenies when i'm done fixing the db layer. Would be nice to have it implemented in nuke. Only problem I fear is sql injection Sad

iv done the chat.php to use the db layer and it seems to be working fine Very Happy

now on to adding links to profiles, avatars and offline message to let users know if the person is offline

its not even working local using the examples in the zip im getting a parse error on the chat.php and if i fix it i then get undefined as username and it saves the chat to the db but doesnt display it this is way to unstable for me to even try and release any info for in tutorials

im looking at other chat IM's to intergrate with nuke preferably ones that sit within the site like the facebook style chat does

Thinking about this and had an idea: could this be used for notifications from the site?

Here are some examples:
- 3 New PMs are waiting
- 2 News Stories are waiting (for admins)
- Site Message: Check out our new edit in place user profile (i.e. admins have the ability to send)
- Welcome to our RavenNuke(tm) site, new member dazj!

It seems possible, though I haven't looked at the code (yet)...

it is possible. though , i'm wondering how you are going to achieve a wide site message from admin with more than 10,000 members :p Unless a specific user respond to multiple nicknames like "username" , "group_name" , and "all" the table get populated really quickly.(would crash the db )

so does it look like this can be integrated to RN? gazj I don't see the chat feature on your site no more Sad

Of course it can. I removed my link because i had issues with my connection.
download at http://deposit.united-holy-dragons.net/jquerychat_nuke.zip

kguske, can an array be made with the $SESSION['username']?

Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 4:04 pm

the script its self can do the things kguse suggested its just a case of adding to the existing php functions within the chat.php but i dont fancy trying it allways breaks and never works again on my site the second i edit the chat.php even by changing the db config

eldorado thanks! installed the package, db tables and files when I'm in "view profile" and try to click the link "Online Chat: Chat with admin" nothing happens... is there a step I'm missing besides what's on the install.txt file?

sounds like the js file isnt activating i just downloaded the zip ill have a look

Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 5:15 pm

you have'nt got jquery added thats why nothing is happening
download the latest jquery add that then it will work just rename the file for jquery you download to jquery.js and upload to includes/js

Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 5:19 pm

and the js file for the chat isnt included in the download

Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 5:40 pm

WOW! ok I just added the js folder same place where I uploaded the /css folder Very Happy

I tested with one Firefox browser and an IE browser chatting with each other and it works awesome Wave

Do you know what happens to the chats? would I need to be emptying out the db chat table or? man this is exciting works just like FB! I hope it is further developed for RN! in my opinion it's a must for todays cms to compete with FB users etc. I have been loosing many members recently to FB due to the chat feature Sad

Raven any chance to include something like this in core Laughing

Thanks! will keep testing it Smile

Just a quick question on the intall.txt it says:
#3 - Open themes/Your_Theme/forums/profile_view_body.tpl and add after

but no explanation on what was done to the tpl file. Can you post what needs to be edited on this file?

Thanks

it hides the scroll bar in ie and it doesnt follow the page well in ie 8 anyways JC go on my site and ill pass my own edited css files for the chat to fix the css issues

Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 6:15 pm

the chat sessions are deleted automaticly on session end unless the database has the record to see if the message is recieved this is changed on the user opening the chat

Answered my own easy question lol

Code:

<td align="right" nowrap="nowrap">Online Chat:</td>


<td><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="javascript:chatWith('{USERNAME}')">Chat with {USERNAME}</a></td>


<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>


<script type="text/javascript" src="js/chat.js"></script>


</tr>

Thanks gazj will look out for it.

right replace the head include with these

Code:

echo '<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="includes/css/chat.css" />';


echo '<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="includes/css/screen.css" />';


echo'<!--[if IE]>';


echo '<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="includes/css/screen_ie.css" />';


echo'<![endif]-->';
