Integrate Php Free Chat with Joomla 1.5.1

[m0nb0f]

Hi,
I use the utChat component based on Php Free Chat Version 0.9.1 for Joomla.
It's great but I would like to show it in a position of my template like a module.
But, I only can link it to a button of the menu
Does anyone have any solution ?
Thanks.

yeah, i have some problems with joomla 1.5 and uchat so i try to join phpfreechat and joomla directly in template (i dont have patience to read the documentation of component development of joomla).

-so install freechat.
-edit your joomla template html puting this in the first line

Code: Select all

  <?php
 
  require_once "src/phpfreechat.class.php"; // adjust to your own path
  $params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // used to identify the chat
  // the full list of paramaters is on http://www.phpfreechat.net/parameters
  $chat = new phpFreeChat($params);
 
  ?>

place <?php $chat->printChat(); ?> where you want to show in your template. If you want to show in a especifc page you can use some kind of condition like

Code: Select all

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19") // or other url, this work for SEF urls too.
{
$chat->printChat();
}
?>

Hey gUYS!!!
I can't believe this.As far as I know,Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular Web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.
So why is it that there are still questions about how Joomla be functionable enough?

Am using phpfree chat on my new website am designing but am failing to intergrate it with my joomla cms.
I want the phpfree chat to be able to access my users/names in my joomla database along with their passwords so they can login with those.
Secondly i want a logged in user on my site (which is using joomla) to be able to enter the chat room without logging in again and able to get in with his user name.

Guys, open source software should be simple and easier to use but this phpfreechat is really stressing me, i have not had sleep for 31 hours now. It has really messed up my head and i too messed up all its files in that the parameters and some comands dont work. Though may i ask, i am not so good a software developer but atleast can try, cant we make this chat have a free version module for joomla where administrator and moderator rights work too. have to get some sleep, will pick up tomorrow.

here go to this link here http://jpfchat.com/ they have rewritten some of phpfreechat code to work with joomal,, joomla uses Mootools as the chat uses prototype which causes conflicts in joomla so these guys were gracious enough to make a module componnent for this great chat software,, if you do use it please donate to them for thier time and effort
