Perfectly working in wordpress but just have some questions

[GnF]

Hello,

After the installation of the addon and a new page for it i found out that the chat box was outside my web page boarders. I had to fix themes width
the weird thing here is that i fixed that by just fixing one theme. That fixed all of them? I just altered one theme file. and now they all work as that one. It just seems weird.

I wanted to have an always on sound when someone log in. altering chat.php and phpfreechat.php (so that both have the same option true) did nothing.
Will i have to alter something in the src directory?

Thanks in advance.

So you are using the wp-phpfreechat plugin?
Or the standalone connected with Wordpress?

If the plugin you edited the css which it altered all the design of the theme, what you need to do its revert back to the original code and then look for help with the plugin developer or play with the Width of the chat in the theme template folder... hope this helps..

I am using the wp-phpfreechat plugin

It is just very weird why by changing one theme width changed in all of them the same time. I am not having problems with that since they all have the right width for my web page. Its just weird. And i am a newbie in this staff.

I am still trying to find out how to make sound on when connecting and add more admin usernames and passwords.


By the way thanks for the info mate

My main problems are that i have a timeout issue sometimes. I cannot be sure if that is because of inactivity. chat.php and phpfreechat.php are identical.
Currently i cannot reproduce that so my only guess is that the 2 users complain about it are changing web page and returning back to the chat box. That is what produce a timeout issue for them.

Another problem is if a user close the page without quitting phpfreechat. In that case the user stay connected for a loooong time. Its been 10 minutes and i still see people logged in the phpfreechat and still those people are not even connected on my server IP address.
That is also not true. The user was connected with window open in chat. I will just look at the inactivity timer

Third one is that i still have not understand if the settings are being changed in the chat.php and phpfreechat.php files or in the files inside /src folder.
That is quite messy the way i see it.
Right now i am testing to see if changes in /src folder files does work. It seems that in this folder files are all the settings stores and called back. I did managed to change a lot of things to my needs.
One thing that i have enabled but is not working (or at least i cannot see) is ping. I guess i will find a way. I am not sure if showing ping on screen all the time produces higher pings for each user. If so i do not wish to see it. Maybe being able to see ping in the users box would be a fix.

If anyone can explain some thing on how this plugin integrates with phpfreechat would be wonderful. The guides here do not seem to follow the plugin wordpress uses. In that case i am quite lost in searching files without understanding.

Sorry

I can help with the timeout issue, I had the same problem if someone was idle the chatroom timed them out very quickly.
[link]http://www.phpfreechat.net/parameters#timeout[/link]
I added

Code: Select all

$params['timeout'] = 900000;

around line 211 in plugins/phpfreechat/phpfreechat.php now users have about 15mins before they are timed out.

I have the same problem if a user closes the page without quitting the session stays open.

Also sometimes there is a delay of up to a minute between a user typing a chatline and hitting send and it actually showing in the chatroom.

I dropped using phpfreechat because of this weird time outs, mostly on IE8 and 7,
but I've a shocking revelation, if you integrate the chat a wordpress "IT WILL TIMEOUT" dont know why but in my site it did, somehow just to including wp-setting.php and getting the username variable,
without connecting it in $params[''nick"] wil time out you, I discovered this once I got tired of thinking that my host "Hostgator" was doing something for me not use the chat, and then testing phpfreechat demo and seeing that it wouldn't time out on any of the 2 browser I use firefox and IE..
now the code that phpfreechat dont like is this one.

Code: Select all

require_once('../blog/wp-config.php');
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_name = addslashes($current_user->display_name);

That's the default way to integrate Wordpress, please check if this true for you in your websites..

I am using he standalone chat -> is not the plugin..

Hello once again . I made a new registration because i could not login with my old nick or retrieve its password so i thought that you cleaned up old forum members. Anyway.

I am running phpfreechat plugin for wordpress once again and everything is smooth with it. I have no dropouts or anything like that maybe because i am not self hosting it but i am on a paid hoster.

I would like to ask if it is possible to have phpfreechat wordpress plugin read the profile of the users that wordpress has. Maybe give the abbility to phpfreechat show avatars to.

Another question is how to make the tab or window phpfreechat is open blink every time someone posts something.

Thanks in advance.

Hi fellow GnFi,

The best thing you can do it going with the PFC plug-in developer , he is the only person could help you out on your approach , we can only help you with the WP integration of the stand alone chat PFC..

for the question with the profile, you need to know the address set by the script and that session pass it to the meta of PFC, so it can be outputted on the PFC whois box and or the AVATAR .

regards

Thanks for the reply once again mate you pointed me in the right direction.

[GnFi]

one last question.

I am opening my phpfreechat in a new tab since i want my users to be able to stay connected whatever page they are on. So notifications on the tab are something very helpful.
Until now i have working the number notification on the tab (x for every new chat i have not seen). I was wondering if it is possible to have the tab blink also (lets say blink a color so that it draws your attention). Sound is not always helpful since i have sound turned off at work.

Thanks in advance

Even I had a question, why we cannot put adsense in the wrodpress sub-domain..???

??????????

[Robjession]

Here's my question... I am using WordPress Socrates theme and running adsense... which is okay - however I'd like to find a plugin that will allow me to place an add in the beginning AND the middle of posts (Socrates Theme only allows for top and bottom placement)without using tags. I'd also like something that will allow you to run different ad setups on desktop versus mobile configurations. Is there such a plugin?

Input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good to know this.But for instance,will the self-hosting affected the plugin itself?
