Joomla integration

[syan]

Hi All,

I have written a Joomla (http://joomla.org) component that integrate phpfreechat.

The project is at: http://www.utopiart.com/utchat/index.php

EDIT : Joomla Extension "utChat" approved!
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/

[Edi]

Thank you very much! I have installed the component and like it!

There are two minor bugs:

1) xajaxDefaultIncludePlugin.inc.php000644 should be xajaxDefaultIncludePlugin.inc.php.

2) The language can not be configured in admin.utchat.conf.php (so I have done it in utchat.php).

hi,
2)
in utchat.php, to replace this code :

Code: Select all

require_once ($mosConfig_absolute_path.'/administrator/components/com_utchat/admin.utchat.conf.php');

$utparams['serverid']   = md5(__FILE__);
$utparams['title']      = $mosConfig_sitename;
$utparams['language']   = $mosConfig_locale;
$utparams['nick']       = iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", $uid);

$chat = new phpFreeChat($utparams);

by this one

Code: Select all

$utparams['serverid']   = md5(__FILE__);
$utparams['title']      = $mosConfig_sitename;
$utparams['language']   = $mosConfig_locale;
$utparams['nick']       = iconv("ISO-8859-1", "UTF-8", $uid);

require_once ($mosConfig_absolute_path.'/administrator/components/com_utchat/admin.utchat.conf.php');

$chat = new phpFreeChat($utparams);

Thank you for the fast reply!

I cannot seem to get this component to work at all with Joomla. For one, I use en_GB locale so it tells me I'm invalid and I have to choose something else so I change Joomla to en_US. Now it gets the "Chat Loading..." page and it never moves from there.

My Chat:
http://www.eve-underground.com/index.ph ... Itemid=137

If you get the source from the page it says:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
  // <![CDATA[
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Cannot redeclare class services_json in <b>/home/u6/euradmin/html/components/com_utchat/lib/json/JSON.php</b> on line <b>0</b><br />

So it's stuck there, the weird thing is... I can load PHPFreeChat by itself from the latest version here and it works fine on my server. I've edited all sorts of things in the files I just can't seem to get it to work with Joomla.

Anything I'm doing wrong with this UTChat?

Do you have the chat installed as Joomla component? The URL seems to be a installation outside of Joomla.

[Karn_Edge]

umm yes other wise you wouldn't be able to pull it up as a option=com_utchat

why would you think otherwise?

Could you try this patch ?

I've got the same problem as Karn_Edge, I tried to patch pfcjson.class.php and now it start to load inside the joomla template (before patch it started to load on a blank page), but I get an error box saying "Unknown Function loadChat."

Any other ideas?

[Karn_Edge]

Awesome, it actually worked. Thanks alot!

i also installed the component (v1.0. and ik works fine. But i made some misstakes with the configurationfile in the folder src. For example: what do i have to fill in for the admin => in admin.utchat.config.php? Now nobody is admin on the chat.
And how do i rehash? because if i change the settings in de admin.utchat.config.php file the values are saved, but the cachefile stays the same.

Thnx.

Seb.

I installed the utChat (0.2.2 | 1.0b10) component.
Joomla Version 1.0.12
But every time i try to open the chat i get this alert box "Unknown Function LoadChat".

Anybody got an idea?
Still tried the changes above.

Ok, so now for me everything works fine...
There was an mambot "XAJAX System Mambot For Joomla" that was activated...after i deactivated it everything works fine..
But i don´t know with what for an component the mambot was installed...so keh just take a look at your mambots overview to see if there also will be this mambot installed.

Carsten

Can UTchat and XAjax mambot co-exist? I have another component that needs XAjax but it will not work with UTChat. I like both components. Is there a workaround for this? Any feedback would be great.

THanks,
ANita
