ajax chat for Prospace style

[spaceace]

here's the modified ajax chat by Handyman that is installed on this site with bbcodes and sound. this will not work with automod due to comment finds in the install file(automod just don't know what to do with them )

the main install file has been modified for installing chat on Prospace style which can be downloaded here.

the chat_body.html template will also work with prosilver.

any questions/problems with this version can be asked on this site. all other versions, you will need to go to www.phpbb.com or www.startrekguide.com

Spaceace,

Will this Chat conflict with Mchat?

Can this be made not visible on the home and portal page?

Regards,

[spaceace]

i don't know if it will conflict with Mchat or not. i don't use Mchat simply because i never liked it.

i added it to the portal, so it doesn't actually show unless you put it there

you can actually add it to any page you like by doing the file edit on that page instead of the index page.

OK Cheers

My members have adjusted to Mchat so I may stay with it or I may use the Ajax., decisions decisions !

Hey Spaceace..

Want to consult with you regarding a special install on Ajax Chat. Give you a chance to earn more donation $$ from me. LOL

When you get a chance, I'd like to hook up via IM and explain what I am needing to be done. The twist to what I am needing is that I do not want to install it to my forum, per say, I am putting into into a popout window. Installed on a separate database from my forum. This much I have working fine.

Now the task is to integrate into my phpbb install just enough to grab the User information and send it to AJax Chat. Sound like any fun?

[spaceace]

to install the chat to call a separate database would require the chat and shout.php database functions to be rewritten as they only querry the phpbb default database. the popout chat window can be done with a little work tho

[Jackson]

Yea, the popout part is already done. That was fairly painless. As is the separate database..

The issue now is passing it the variables from phpBB. Getting variables out of phpBB is a simple task using general integration techniques already established in phpBB's knowledge base.

Injecting these variables into Ajax chat is proving to be somewhat of a pain. I do think there is going to be some code hacking required to skip Ajax's logon screen and push those variables directly into the script.
