How to disable popup info box on usernames?

[hollyt9]

hi guys,
sorry if this has been asked before i've searched through the forums and can't find the answer.

i'm using the phpfreechat plugin for the e107 CMS.

In the right land column where it displays the list of user-names in the chat room it also shows a small popup info box when you click on a users name. which their ip, email and private message option.
is there a way to disable this? so that the names are not clickable?

thanks in advance.

The solution depends entirely on the version of PFC you're using, so I'll assume you're using 1.6 which is the latest in the 1.x generation.

This is completely untested so have backups, but basically my thinking is if you get rid of the onclick then you get rid of the onclick behavior, which is the box

in data/public/js/pfcclient.js around line 1443 look for this block of code:

Code: Select all

    a.onclick = function(evt){
      var d = pfc.getNickWhoisBox(this.pfc_nickid);
      document.body.appendChild(d);
      d.style.display = 'block';
      d.style.zIndex = '400';
      d.style.position = 'absolute';
      d.style.left = (mousePosX(evt)-7)+'px';
      d.style.top  = (mousePosY(evt)-7)+'px';
      return false;
    }


Now delete it, upload the change, rehash the chat (probably doesn't need it), for sure refresh your chat page to get the new js file, and if all goes well clicking a name won't open a whois box.
