[1.5.0] Updated: Integrated Chat Mod

[QuicKsiLveR]

Hello all,

I am an avid user of the integrated chatroom mod by Dominic Marcic and run by user Brodle. I noticed it wasn't running under 1.5.0 because of a change in some files. I have updated the files and the chat should now function correctly. It's two small changes.

Here is the updated mod in its entirety

Code Select Expand

<id>
Integrated Chat for YaBB 1.5.0
</id>

<version>
.4
</version>

<mod info>

1. Upload chat.gif to your images directory.

2. Open up chat.php with any text editor.
   a. Find $user = $username . "_abbreviation";
   b. Replace the word abbreviation with a name that will be appended to all usersnames.
      For example my site is the Rat Fan Club so I have _rfc, users become john_rfc
      on the irc server.
   c. Find full.js?room=roomname&width=500&height=520&nick=$user"
   d. Replace the word roomname with the name you want for your chatroom. For example, I use
      rfc.
   e. Save the file and upload to your sources dir.

3. Go into your admin panel and select edit template. Find the area the refers to <yabb uname><yabb im> and replace everything inside and including the <TD valign=center bgColor...> all the way to the first </TD> you see with the following. Make SURE to replace the word roomname with your chat rooms name!

<TD vAlign=center bgColor=#ffffff><FONT size=2><yabb uname><yabb im><BR><yabb time><BR><BR>There are currently <script language="JavaScript" src="http://irc.everywherechat.com:8000/java/test.js?room=roomname"></script> people talking in the chat room.<BR><script language="JavaScript" src="http://irc.everywherechat.com:8000/java/members_comma.js?room=roomname"></script>
<BR></FONT></TD>

4. Run boardmod and upload files

5. Post on the forum and let everyone know if it works!!


Note: You can change the width and height of the applet to fit your site

Hope it works out and I hope Dominic doesn't get angry that I updated his mod.

[Mr.Sins]

how do you run this with the yabb pack center

[QuicKsiLveR]

I don't know how to make a yabbpak version, so i have repacked it as a zip for BoardMod. It should work. If not, just edit index.php and Subs.php manually.
The instructions are listed in my first post, but here they are again:

1. Upload chat.gif to your images directory.

2. Open up chat.php with any text editor.
   a. Find $user = $username . "_abbreviation";
   b. Replace the word abbreviation with a name that will be appended to all usersnames.
      For example my site is the Rat Fan Club so I have _rfc, users become john_rfc
      on the irc server.
   c. Find full.js?room=roomname&width=500&height=520&nick=$user"
   d. Replace the word roomname with the name you want for your chatroom. For example, I use
      rfc.
   e. Save the file and upload to your sources dir.

3. Go into your admin panel and select edit template. Find the area the refers to <yabb uname><yabb im> and replace everything inside and including the <TD valign=center bgColor...> all the way to the first </TD> you see with the following. Make SURE to replace the word roomname with your chat rooms name!

<TD vAlign=center bgColor=#ffffff><FONT size=2><yabb uname><yabb im><BR><yabb time><BR><BR>There are currently <script language="JavaScript" src="http://irc.everywherechat.com:8000/java/test.js?room=roomname"></script> people talking in the chat room.<BR><script language="JavaScript" src="http://irc.everywherechat.com:8000/java/members_comma.js?room=roomname"></script>

Cheers guys, this worked great

[QuicKsiLveR]

Just glad I could help.

[Sheeze]

Can someone make this a yabbpack?

I tried manually installing. But I have no clue what to change in index.php and subs.php
I have the rest instructions done.....

If someone can yabbpack it, I'd greatly appreciate
If not, can someone tell me what and where to change things in index.php and subs.php?

Thanks a bunches!

[Mr.Sins]

download the zip file http://www.w-train.com/misc/integrated_chat_0.4.zip

follow the readme file.
and use boardmod to install the mod file.

copy the mod to your boardmod YABB SE 1.5.0 dir
if the dir does not exist make it.

then start up boardmod, let boardmod point to your index.php file.

it worked for me without any problem.

Got it installed but have 1 prob.  When you click on the chat gif a new windows opens, template loads, outline of the Java board loads, but nothing else.  Any ideas?

Register your name and board.
Did my chat load up for you?

[queks]

Done. Thks. the chat applet load by itself when i start the chat program.

[Paradize]

I am also getting the "Blank Screen" error when the chat loads up, I am running WindowsXP and I used a Windows 98 computer today and everything worked fine.

weird.. any ideas?

Please refer to the 1.4.0 for bug fixes as the problems you are experiencing are browser related. A new update for this program will be released soon.

[Zombie]

I got it fixed I think.  I can now load it, just waiting for members to try.

I ended up switching from using the full.js to using e.js and manually resizing the applet.  Works good for me now!
