Topic: Flashchat Block

[TW1ST3D]

I have found that I really need a Flashchat block but am finding it impossible to code one with my little knowledge of php.
I have tried to pluck diffent lines of code and cobble them together but to no avail.

it should contain a button for going to the flashchat app and a members in chat listing (much like a members online block)............is this possible?

Thanks in Advance !!

Is there a link to this "Flashchat"?

[TW1ST3D]

Here is a link to the integration Mod , which has the code to "lift or Copy" the users online for SMF
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=611
(I personally use the Googlebots and Spiders version)


I think all the code that is needed is in the integration mod..............

It's quite possible. I'll look into it.

[TW1ST3D]

Thanks !!!

OK ..... I came up with a block Code that works.......

Code: [Select]

global $boardurl;
echo '
<iframe frameborder="0" height="100" src="', $boardurl, '/chat/info_embedded.php" style="width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" border="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>';

Now.........How can I center the above code result in the Block?

An iframe... hmmm is that possible to center *thinking*

You can try:

Code: [Select]

global $boardurl;
echo '
<iframe frameborder="0" align="center" height="100" src="', $boardurl, '/chat/info_embedded.php" style="width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" border="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>';

Or

Code: [Select]

global $boardurl;
echo ' <div align="center">
<iframe frameborder="0" align="center" height="100" src="', $boardurl, '/chat/info_embedded.php" style="width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" border="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>';
</div>

I don't know if one of this work with iframes...

</div>


Theoretically that should work.

[TW1ST3D]

Thanks Guys !!  No.....Neither one of those will center the iFrame. I can be happy with the results that I have now.

Thanks Again for your responses.

[Nas]

Hmm.. I was pretty shure that would've worked 

NOw, lett me see.... 

[Kosedragen]

Ohohoh, I'd like this too But does it exist a flash chat to make this possible in SMF 1.1.6? I only get an error when trying to install it (as expected..).

[Oldiesmann]

FlashChat should work fine with both SMF 1.1 and 2.0.

[Kosedragen]

Nah, it didn't work with me. I get the error "missing files" or something like that. Look at the attacked image, and you see my problem =/ I used the flash chat mod mentioned earlier in this topic.

[ccbtimewiz]

Do you have FlashChat installed on your server?

[Kosedragen]

Nope, I have no chat whatsoever installed on my server =/

[ccbtimewiz]

That's the reason then. You need to have the FlashChat environment installed on your server in order for the modification to operate correctly.

You can purchase FlashChat for $5.00 USD: http://www.tufat.com/s_flash_chat_chatroom.htm

[Kosedragen]

Aw, damn >: Well then I'll do without.

[cme1st2302]

I used the code supplied by TW1ST3D and it works!!!  Thanks very much.

Now how would i change the font color to white?  It is black now.

EDIT - I figured out the color issue, had to modify the info_embedded file. 

Another question - How would I get the users name to show up colored like it does on the online list?  I know I would have to add it in the info_embedded.php file but I have no clue what to add.

~TW1ST3D

If you use this code make sure you add the "%" after the height. If you have many rooms without this it will cut the bottom rooms off (or at least it did on mine).

Thanks for the info and the help!!!!

You all rock!!!!

[Tyrsson]

Well, I still have a problem. I have the chat block working and it list all the users in the chat etc. However, you can not enter the chat from the block by clicking on the room name. I have the flash chat integrated so that it pulls the usernames etc. from the database.

My question:

Is there anyway that I can add the url to the chatroom in html and have it linked from the block?

I am kinda slow when it comes to all this....

Oh yeah, I am using SP 2.0.5 and SMF 1.1.6.

Thanks in advance!!
