Topic: Flashchat Block

[TW1ST3D]

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!!

I embedded a HTML image with the link to the Chatroom................

I never tried the mod/script (whatever it is). Anyone want to try this?

Code: [Select]

global $boarddir, $context, $txt, $modSettings;
global $db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd, $db_name, $db_prefix;
global $txt, $boardurl, $context;

if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
return $txt['fc_no_guests'];

$context['chat_width'] = (!empty($modSettings['fc_width']) ? $modSettings['fc_width'] : '100%');
$context['chat_height'] = (!empty($modSettings['fc_height']) ? $modSettings['fc_height'] : '600');

if (!file_exists($boarddir . '/chat/inc/common.php'))
return $txt['fc_not_found'];

require($boarddir . '/chat/inc/common.php');

echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="chat/javascript/ActivateFlash.js"></script>
', flashChatTag($context['chat_width'], $context['chat_height'], array(), $boardurl . '/chat/');

I use the flash chat too in our forum, but I won't add the chatroom itself to a block. What I want to add is the "Who is online in the chat". I'm using the overview theme and there is no space for this little think. In the the default it wasn't a problem. The code which has to been add to the index.template.php was this:

Code: [Select]

// --- Begin FlashChat Integration ---
// Do we need to display a list of the users in the chat?
// Are there users online?
if (!empty($modSettings['fc_showUsers']) && !empty($context['users_chat']))
echo '
', $txt['fc_users_online'], ': ', implode(', ', $context['list_users_chat']), '<br />';
// --- End FlashChat Integration ---Is this code only for need or what must been add to show this in a block?

I don't know if you get it what I want to ask.

Yeah, that's it! Just make sure that you add these codes before your codes:

Code: [Select]

global $txt, $context, $modSettings;

Thanks I will give it a try asap and let you know if it works without errors.

Works like a charm! 
Thanks Blue Dream for your help!

Ok, so I put the codes together and the block works good.

Code: [Select]

global $txt, $context, $modSettings;
// --- Begin FlashChat Integration ---
      // Do we need to display a list of the users in the chat?
      // Are there users online?
      if (!empty($modSettings['fc_showUsers']) && !empty($context['users_chat']))
         echo '
                     ', $txt['fc_users_online'], ': ', implode(', ', $context['list_users_chat']), '<br />';
      // --- End FlashChat Integration ---
Things I need help with, that i would like to improve on.

1. Create a link, possible Title, that would open the chat.
2. When Noone is in chat, to have it display Noone in chat or 0 users, or something similar, intead of being just blank as it is now.

If you take a look at my site I modified the code in chat/info_embedded.php to show "No users in chat"  when no one is in there.  I also stripped down the code so it only shows the users in chat when users are on, not the room names and number of people as I only have one room.  If you need help let me know.

What about AjaxChat and their shoutbox version? Any way to get that as a box on my index page?

I see on East Coast Astro forum - that he has this "users in chat" - I've also seen the shoutbox run horizontally across the top...

I have "Chat" tabs showing... just need a box or 2 to show people the door in

Might help if I gave the link eh? www.f-1chat.com - thanks!

Polite Bump.... Anyone??

Hello all !

I´m using the Flashchat version 5.0.8.

But no Block-Code ist working for me.

Before i was using 4.7.8 an with the following code all was fine.

What i need to change, please. Any suggestion ?

<iframe frameborder="0" height="100%" src="http://www.mypage.de/chat/info_embedded.php" style="width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" border="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

I'm using Flashchat version 5.0.9 and SMF 1.1.9. The block codes mentioned here so far didn't work for me except for the below code. So if your flashchat is version 5 I believe it should work.

Code: [Select]

   global $boarddir, $context, $txt, $modSettings;
   global $db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd, $db_name, $db_prefix;
   global $txt, $boardurl, $context;

   if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
      return $txt['fc_no_guests'];
   
   $context['chat_width'] = (!empty($modSettings['fc_width']) ? $modSettings['fc_width'] : '100%');
   $context['chat_height'] = (!empty($modSettings['fc_height']) ? $modSettings['fc_height'] : '600');
   
   if (!file_exists($boarddir . '/chat/inc/common.php'))
      return $txt['fc_not_found'];
   
   require($boarddir . '/chat/inc/common.php');

   echo '
      <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="chat/javascript/ActivateFlash.js"></script>
      ', flashChatTag($context['chat_width'], $context['chat_height'], array(), $boardurl . '/chat/');

But there are still some things that I want done:
1) I want a block with both the current Who's Online information and the above together.
2) I would like the same format where there is a bullet next to Users in Chat and a list of the users with the icon next to the name.
3) The names in Users in Chat support member colours.

Is there anyone who could do this?

[noelleon69]

Could anyone provide some help? Pardon me if I'm asking in the wrong place, let me know if I should be asking this in the SMF forum on coding help instead of here

I thought I asked here as this could be developed into an integrated Who's Online/Flashchat block that would benefit flashchat users.
