Get list of all connected users in order to invite them

[edgar32]

Hi,

My version is 1.3.

I have added a button "Invite" in the GUI of the chat, which is supposed to open a pop up with the list of all connected nicknames, in order to allow the user to invite one of them on his current channel.

But if a user logs in the chat after the private channel was created, his nickname does not appear in the list.


Here is the code of my method supposed to return the list of all connected users :

Code: Select all

function getNicknames($nickId)
  {
     $cg =& pfcGlobalConfig::Instance();

   
   $serverid = isset($GLOBALS['serverid']) ? $GLOBALS['serverid'] : 0;
   require_once "pfcinfo.class.php";
   $info  = new pfcInfo( md5($serverid) );
   $listOnline = $info->getOnlineNick(NULL);
   
   $listNicks = Array();
   for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($listOnline); $i++) {
      if ($listOnline['nickid'][$i] != $nickId) {
          if ($listOnline['nick'][$i] != "")
             $listNicks[] = $listOnline['nick'][$i];
      }
   }

   return $listNicks;
  }

Do you see any error in it ? Do you have a more correct way to achieve this ?

Thank you for your help !

Hello re*s.t.a.r.s.*2,

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, I already have a similar methode to that explained in the message you linked to me.
The problem is the list of users that you get by calling "getOnlineNick(NULL);" is not updated with the users who logged in since you arrived yourself in the chat.

Is there a "refresh" in phpFreeChat that should be called before "getOnlineNick(NULL);" ?

Thank you,

Edgar

What you need to do it do some ajax call to the file, this gets updated every few seconds depends how to set up the ajax object ...

That' s what I have done before its call the file and put it on a div in the html markup..

Hi,

I can now be more precise about my problem. Below are the steps I followed in order to get a list of users to invite on clicking on "Invite" button.


First, I slightly modified the file chat.html.tpl.php, in order to change the behaviour on clicking on invite : I called my own function "askPopupToInvite()" as you can see :

Code: Select all

<div class="pfc_btn">
        <img src="<?php echo $c->getFileUrlFromTheme('images/invite.gif'); ?>"
             alt="" title="invit someone to the current channel"
             id="pfc_invite"
             onclick="pfc.askPopupToInvite()" />
<!--             onclick="pfc.askUserToInvite()" />-->
      </div>

Secondly, I defined the function "askPopupToInvite" in a file named customize.js.php, located under chat/themes/myOwnTheme/ :

Code: Select all

pfcClient.prototype.askPopupToInvite = function()
{
   <?php $c =& pfcContainer::Instance(); ?>
   <?php $u =& pfcUserConfig::Instance(); ?>
   // Get list of nicknames to invite
   var tabNicknames = new Array;
   <?php
      $a = 0;
      foreach ($c->getNicknames($u->nickid) as $occur) {
         echo "tabNicknames[$a] ='$occur';";
         $a++;
      }
   ?>
   
   var container = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
   pfc.createBGCustomizePromptBox(container);
      pfc.createCustomizePromptBox(container, tabNicknames);
}

I could detect that the code between <?php tags was executed only once, when the page was loaded, but not each time the users clicked on "Invite". As a result it was normal that the list of users to invite was incomplete.

Do you see another way to achieve this ? I would like to fill the tabNicknames var with the names of all the users connected.

Thanks,

Edgar

Ok,

I dont think I get complete but lets see if I understand , what you want is to have a small window that has all the users online and when you click a determined user it will select that user and invite him to the channel?

If I am right you need to call the file that has the user online with ajax and have updated certain time, then on the user list you make a link on each nick, and use the onlclick=pfc.sendRequest('/invite <?php $user."n".$defaultChannel');

Its just an Idea...

Hi,

The ajax call that you talk about, in order to get the list of users, can I make it in customize.js.php ?

Concretely, can I do something like this :

Code: Select all

pfcClient.prototype.askPopupToInvite = function()
{
   // Get list of nicknames to invite
   var tabNicknames = new Array;

   // Here fill the array 'tabNicknames' with all users
 
   
}

Thanks,

Edgar

In the end I could get closer to my objective by rewriting askPopupToInvite like this, taking some code from pfcgui.js :

Code: Select all

pfcClient.prototype.askPopupToInvite = function()
{
   var tabNicknames = new Array;
   
   var chanids = this.chanmeta.keys();
   
   chanid = chanids[0];
   var nickidlst = this.getChanMeta(chanid,'users').get('nickid');
   for (var i=0; i<nickidlst.length; i++)
   {
      var nickid = nickidlst[i];
      
      // don't add the user himself
      if(nickid != this.nickid)
      {
         var nick = this.getUserMeta(nickid, 'nick');
         tabNicknames[i] = nick;
      }
   }

       // building the window with the list and submit button .....

}

The problem that remains is that sometimes I have an 'undefined' value in tabNicknames.
This happens when a user User1 was logged in the chat, and a new user User2 arrived : User1 has then two values in 'tabNicknames' : 'User2' and 'undefined'.

Thanks for your help,

Edgar
