How to make all rooms viewable

[MiltonBC]

Hi, I've searched everywhere but cannot solve this simple problem. Right now, new chatters only see the default room. I want them to see all available rooms.

[OldWolf]

Well, available rooms are basically infinite... but if you want them to see a predetermined set of rooms, this is your option:
http://www.phpfreechat.net/parameters#channels

Thanks OldWolf, but I don't know much php....I'm using this to cover a baseball tournament, I'll have a scorekeeper for each of 21 games input play by play and viewers can keep updated. So, when a new viewer enters, I want them to be able to choose which channel/game they like.....rather than me having to /invite each one.

Can you by chance give me the code to insert into index.php???

The games will be numbered....game1, game2, etc.

Thanks a bunch!

[OldWolf]

$params['parameter_name'] = array('game1', 'game2', 'game999');

[MiltonBC]

I pasted that command into index.php immediately below "params["debug"] = false;"

It didn't seem to change anything, new viewers see only "My Room"

Do I have to change something?? or did I put it in the wrong place??

Thanks again for your help, I need to get this working by Wednesday...

[OldWolf]

Always rehash after a change: http://www.phpfreechat.net/rehash

[MiltonBC]

OK, I did that...now when a new user enters, they see:
phpFreeChat cannot be initialized, please correct these errors:
-Error: undefined or obsolete parameter 'parameter 'parameter_name', please correct or remove this parameter

[MiltonBC]

I changed 'parameter_name' to 'TIC Talk'....not sure if thats the right thing to do but now when I rehash I get "a problem occurs during rehash"

[MiltonBC]

OldWolf, should it work as is or do I need to substitute part of the parameter with something different?

[MiltonBC]

Now I get this message:

Warning: require_once(/home/miltonbc/public_html/2012westerns/chat/src/phpfreechat.clahp) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/miltonbc/public_html/2012westerns/chat/index.php on line 3

(I have not changed anything on line 3)

Please help!

[OldWolf]

Whoops, I'm sorry, I went to fast copying from the params page (less typos that way) and inadvertently forgot to change the parameter name...

Replace "prameter_name" with "channels":
$params['channels'] = array('game1', 'game2', 'game999');

Thanks OldWolf, we're getting close I hope! Now I get this message:


Warning: require_once(/home/miltonbc/public_html/2012westerns/chat/src/phpfreechat.clahp) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/miltonbc/public_html/2012westerns/chat/index.php on line 3

On line 3, I have:

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.clahp";

Please tell me which part of the first message I paste where....thanks a bunch!

[OldWolf]

It looks like you might have typed over some of the extension... as far as I'm aware, .clahp is not an extension.
Change it to .php
