IRC Chat Mod + TP - ???

courage · January 07, 2006, 01:09:41 AM

I can't seem to get 3guks PJIRC Integrated Chat Mod to work with Tiny Protal 0.75. Next to index.templeate it says faileure and even if I install it nothing happens.

Ahh. that would likely be because the chat Mod is looking for the where the menubar is built (to add the Chat button) and cannot find it since TinyPortal changed that section as well (in adding the Forum and TPAdmin buttons).

This may have occured in other sections of the file as well.

So, any ideas on how to get the "3guks PJIRC Integrated Chat Mod" to work with Tiny Protal 0.75 ?

Would it work to simply manually ftp the chat mod files to the server, then add a block or menu-item pointing to the php file ?

Inside the PJIRC mod zip file, you will find two files that tell you what you need to do to manually install it.

modification.xml and package-info.xml

Most of the files in the zip will go into a folder structure created by the package installer (unzipping the mod into its own directory should recreate the folder structure needed for the pjirc folder).

package-info.xml tells you to put the pjirc folder in the forum root, and what directories to put the other two files that it requires.

modification.xml tells you what files need to be modified and where in the file the modification needs to go and what the modification is.

This package should be relatively easy to install manually.

Thanks Rasyr for your reply.

From what I've managed to understand (I hope..lol) the modification.xml will show what stuff gets "injected" into existing files on my forum, like a "chat link" using the icons supplied with the package etc etc....

Is that really needed for this to work ?

Wouldnt it be sufficient to do what I suggested. Upload the files and make a new "box" or menu-link (using TPadmin) that points to the php file (Chat.template.php) ?? If not...why not ?? lol

Rasyr · January 16, 2006, 11:18:53 PM

not just code that gets "injected" but also code that gets changed as well. Sometimes a mod will need to change some of the code to make sure it works well with the rest.

I haven't tried a manual install of pjirc yet (but I really need to as I am going to have to do it for one or two websites myself when the time comes for use to upgrade them... hehe), so I do not know for sure at the moment.

Well, I did a fast and ugly test. I unpacked the files locally, edited the Chat.template.php file to reflect my site, irc-server, #room etc etc, uploaded the files (retained the sub-folders) and tried to direct my browser (Firefox) directly to Chat.php and got Hacker attempt (or something) then I tried Chat.template.php and got ...nothing.. ://

Hi @ all

one word to IRC chat ..

Normaly ..it's not need to apply a mod .. to add a IRC chat is simple.

You need a small change to the theme index.template.php and a small php script.

step one .. open your Theme index.template.php
search for:

Code Select


// Show the menu up top.  Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
        global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $boardurl, $user_info, $txt;

add after:

Code Select


        // I'm using IRC Chat that will open in a new window
          echo '
           <script type="text/javascript">
            <!--
              function OpenChat() {
              F1 = window.open("' . $boardurl .'/chatboard.php?theme='.$settings['theme_url'].'&nick=' . $user_info['name'] . '", "Chat", "width=670,height=640,left=150,top=10,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no");
              }
            //-->
           </script>';

and later in this section add a button for chat ..

Code Select


              echo '<a class="menu" href="javascript:OpenChat();">CHAT</a></td>';

and here the chatboard.php (copy at your root)

Code Select


<?php

$themeurl = '';
$nick = '';
if (isset($_GET['theme'])) $themeurl = $_GET['theme'];
if (isset($_GET['nick'])) $nick = $_GET['nick'];

echo '
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Chat</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $themeurl . '/style.css?rc1" >
 <head>
 <body>
  <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" class="tborder">
   <tr>
    <td>
     <div class="titlebg"><center><b>Chat</b></center></div>
     <center>
      <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"src="http://irc.everywherechat.com:8000/Java/e.js?room=MYROOM&width=650&height=610&roomstab=false&fontsize=12&ads=false&nick=' . $nick .'"></script>
     </center>
    </td>
   </tr>
  </table>
 </body>
</html>';
?>

Change MYROOM to your Roomname

That's all folks

Nice Feline!!

Yes very nice Feline!!

But this is not the PJIRC mod. The main disadvantage with everywherechat is that you're not able to use any other irc server than the one run by ewc, this was my reason from the beginning to choose PJIRC.

I can see however ways to use your code and apply it to the files I got from PJIRC, so thanks!!

Gonna go try some more now !!
