When mozialla 1.4 displays the startpage of the site, the "iframe chat block" on the right mirrors the complete site content (with sliders of course). I think this behavior isn't supposed, is it ?

I think you made the block visible for guest, but this doesn't work yet.

I can't imagine other reasons for this behaviour.

First off, excellent work. Francis & Predator.

I would like to point out one major qualm I have with the module.

I'm sure you guys realise it too, if you "sent" whilst the chat box is refreshing its content. Whatever you were typing will not get updated.

This is a real turnoff for such an excellent module. Imagine typing a really long sentence, only to have what you type not get updated.

But hey, I don't know how to fix it, so I'm living with it.

Thx for the flowers!

This bug is another point on my todo-list (which gets longer and longer and longer). I don't have a workaround for this yet.

Sorry

GLOBALS OFF:

OH thats why it doesn't work on my server!

What prevents it from working with globals off?

I can't even test it...but it looks great!
When can we cross our fingers for the globals off release....or hack?!

Hi DobePhat,

insert these lines in include/functions.php after line with include/class/timestamp.
Quote:

if (!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
}

if (!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
}

if (!empty($HTTP_SERVER_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS);
}

Seems to be working with register_globals OFF!

Do insert these lines after the timestamp...or replace the ones there?

Eager to try it out...real close!

OK Actually I found it...did a search for timestamp and included!

Wow a lot of progree on this chat congratulations!

couple of quick questions:
1)do ineed to update system module?
2)can't seem to adminster "rooms"
3)Anyway to control text size? Mine seems to be huge!
Cannont modify "standard" or create a new room.
Do i need to enable r/w permissions somewhere or is this where it's at for now?

Thanks a lot, my users have been requesting this feature for a lon time...I think we are close

Re: ThE PROBLEM WITH CHATS

DobePhat Published 09/18/2003 4:27 Friend of XOOPS Joined 04/15/2003 Comments 656

THE PROBLEM:
IMO:
Besides bugs,
is that the chat-room refreshes the whole page.
This isn't too good of an idea.

Some other chats I've seen on other PHP sites open in a seperate window, so that (or it would seem) this problem is avoided.

WEll thats my main issue, and the text size is huge...but I suppose I can create a style rule for that.

Otherwise great progress especially on the admin end.

Hi DobePhat - I have some answers for you:

Quote:

1)do ineed to update system module?

No

Quote:

2)can't seem to adminster "rooms"

Are there any PHP-errors with PHP-Debug on?

Quote:

3)Anyway to control text size? Mine seems to be huge!

You have to insert the following code in the line before the ones starting with "echo "<html"

Quote:

echo "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd'>";

There are some themes that need to have this inserted.

Quote:

Cannont modify "standard" or create a new room.

Again turn on the Debug-Modes and see what they tell.

Quote:

No

Quote:

No, only frames with refresh-tags in will be refreshed.

Quote:

Some problems (yet to solve) would be avoided by that, but I wanted to preserve the look and feel of Xoops. If this is an unwanted "feature" for you, you better have to try other chats by linking to them with target blank.

Anyway the chat is NOT finished yet. The latest version was a preview to collect all requests for this module. So the Xoops-community was my personal testfield.

Good to hear that!

But I only wanted to make it work!

I actually have decided after trying some other chats that this one is quite powerful, (phat-chat doesnt work on my site for example)

So im determined to adjust it as necassary.

Concerning the font size...where is it picking up its formating?

Quote:

Do you mean in php files or in theme files..Im not sure where you are referring...My theme is the default only css is mofified...

Thanks for your help...after examining the files I realize how much has gone into this and I certainly appreciate it....

P.s just so you know I have globals off , and that "hack" from earlier, "timestamp"
seems to have worked....

Oh one more thing....a suggestion...there is a feature to e-mail users...but not everyone allows others to see them...so what about a PM instead?

Re: this chat

DobePhat Published 09/19/2003 3:36 Friend of XOOPS Joined 04/15/2003 Comments 656

Oh I found some of em...chat.php, and a few others...
Kew;l...

now I suppose to really change it up I have to add/create a td class to the css...eh?

Ill let you know how it goes....

Unfortunately the additions of new rooms and the grouppermission to the new rooms was only working for MY testenvironment.

So I will release a fix for that. Some other enhancements will be included. But it's just a fix to get the chat really working with the features included so far.

Re: this chat

DobePhat Published 09/19/2003 17:13 Friend of XOOPS Joined 04/15/2003 Comments 656

Thanks!

Im currently working on a way to modify the look and feel of it...
right now the only way I can think of is to create some style rules...

If I put these new rules in my themes' css will that suffice...or should I also put it on the default. (because Im not quite sure, it could be grabbing the rule from either
Anyways, I eagerly await the updates!
BYW: Im not gonna even try but how do you think it will work with 2.0.4?

It grabs the css from the current theme.

Ok, Ive successfully installed and tweeked a bit the look for it.

Really curious how the status is..

Main issue for me right now, is that deleting the messages is not working. Should it be?

I'd like my users to try it out soon, and I at least want to delete messages. (remeber Im using the globals off version, with the hack mentioned earlier in this thread...)

Thanks...its going good.....

Next version you will be able to delete messages.

I'm working on blocks/templates/grouppermissions right now. So it may take a little while.

Re: this chat

DobePhat Published 09/29/2003 17:30 Friend of XOOPS Joined 04/15/2003 Comments 656

yeah templates, will be nice...it took me forever to figure out which classes are being called!

Delete messages and create room...are the most important other things too I think.

Great work...

I'm not sure what the status of this project is, but I needed it so I've hacked in proper group features for Group type=3. This fix has no warrenty... just seems to work:

OLD include/functions.php->getChatRooms()...


function getChatRooms($selectedroom) {

    global $xoopsDB, $sql, $res, $userarray, $xoopsUser, $xoopsModule, $xoopsConfig;



    $groupname = getGroupName();



    $sql = "SELECT * FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix("xoopschat_rooms")."";

    $roomslist = $xoopsDB->query($sql);

    

    print("<br>rn");

    print("<form name='chatroom' action='index.php?op=changeroom' method='POST'>rn");

    print("<select name='room'>rn");



    while($res = $xoopsDB->fetchRow($roomslist)) {

        if ($res[2] == 3) {            

            if ( $xoopsUser->isAdmin($xoopsModule->mid()) ) {

                print("<option");

                if ($res[1] == $selectedroom) {

                    print(" selected");

                }



                print(">".$res[1]."</option>rn");

            } else {     

                if ( $res[3] == $groupname ) {

                    print("<option");

                    if ($res[1] == $selectedroom) {

                        print(" selected");

                    }



                    print(">".$res[1]."</option>rn");

                }

            }

        } else {

            if ( $res[0] == 1 || 2 ) {        

                print("<option");

                if ($res[1] == $selectedroom) {

                    print(" selected");

                }

                print(">".$res[1]."</option>rn");

            }

        }

        

    }

    

    print("</select>rn");

    print("&nbsp;<input type='image' src='images/".$xoopsConfig['language']."/crooms.gif'     border=0 width='82' height='25' alt='"._CHAT_ROOMLIST."'></input>");

    print("</form>rn");



}

New Version:
~> fixes old version's flaw in that a user was only seen as registered in a single group... that means that any complex group systems for type=3 failed.
~> added LONG SQL query in place of old one.
~> deleted declaration and condition for $groupname variable (redundant due to enhanced SQL query)
NOTE: I havn't used XOOPS SQL criteria before (I'm not even sure XOOPS has it), so pardon the ugly code!

In order for the above hack to work, please also replace the text in "hasPermissions()" to this new script (with this similar room-checking hack for room type=3).


function hasPermissions($room) {

        global $xoopsDB, $sql, $res, $userarray, $xoopsUser, $xoopsModule;



        $sql = "SELECT * FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix("myxoopschat_rooms")." WHERE room_name = '".$room."'";





        $rl = $xoopsDB->query($sql);

        $res = $xoopsDB->fetchRow($rl);









        $usergroup = getGroupName();



        if ( $res[2] == 3 ) {

            // Checking for proper permissions hack. 

            $sql = "SELECT count(".$xoopsDB->prefix("myxoopschat_rooms").

                    ".rid) FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix("groups").", 

                    ".$xoopsDB->prefix("myxoopschat_rooms").", 

                    ".$xoopsDB->prefix("groups_users_link")."

                    where ".$xoopsDB->prefix("groups_users_link").".uid=".$xoopsUser->uid()." and

                    ".$xoopsDB->prefix("groups_users_link").".groupid=".$xoopsDB->prefix("groups").".groupid and

                    ".$xoopsDB->prefix("groups").".name=".$xoopsDB->prefix("myxoopschat_rooms").".visible and

                    ".$xoopsDB->prefix("myxoopschat_rooms")."visible=".$res[3];

            

            $nummatches = $xoopsDB->query($sql);

            $res = $xoopsDB->fetchRow($nummatches);

            

            if ( $nummatches[0]!=0 ){

                echo "<center>[ "._MA_XCHAT_NOPERMISSIONS." ]</center>n";

                exit();

            }

            // End of permissions hack.

            /*

                if ( !$xoopsUser->isAdmin($xoopsModule->mid()) ) {

                        if ( $res[3] != $usergroup ) {

                                echo "<center>[ "._MA_XCHAT_NOPERMISSIONS." ]</center>n";

this is not working for me.

first how do I check if I have register_globals on or off?

the module is not reading from the /xoopschat/languages/english/modeinfo.php so I see all the constantes like MI_XCHATMSGFRAME instead of the proper definitions.

when I click on the link on the main menu, the page cames up blank, i have debug on and nothing is showing.

when I installed it there was an error in the /sql/mysql.php the last line 'insert' had an error so I took it out and installed, after that I inserted that line separated (myxoopschat_rooms)
