phpFreeChat - Web2.0 AJAX chat server - Forum

If should be possible to add a email notifier in the connect command.
Try to modify the pfccommand_connect.class.php to send an email when someone connect.

Sorry, I don't know how to code that. Maybe I should post in the 'feature request' forum?

Hi, i like this idea and am in the progress to code this into my chat.
PHP has a simple to use command to send mails, if the server is able to send (most likely the case with linux and sendmail / postfix)
Maybe tomorrow i could post the code here.

Ok, i have the code for sending emails when a user connects to the chat.
I've decided to put the mail command as a function into a seperate file for better handling of updates to the pfc source.

Put the following into a new file:

<?php
function pfcmail ($from_name='', $from_mail='', $to_mail='', $title='', $message='')
{
$from = 'From: ' . $from_name . ' <' . $from_mail . '>';
$message_headers = "$from";
mail($to_mail, $title, $message, $message_headers);
}
?>

Upload the file as 'pfcmail.php' to the 'src' folder of phpfreechat.

Then edit the file 'pfccommand_connect.class.php' which is also in the 'src' folder.
Go to the end of the file and find the line with 'return $clientid'.
Right before this line, make a new line and put the following code there:

require_once(dirname(__FILE__)."/pfcmail.php");
pfcmail ('Chat Admin','you@thisserver.com','you@somewhere.com','Chat Login at ' . $c->title ,'The user ' . $c->nick . ' has logged in to your chat');

The parameters in order:
'sender name', 'sender email adress', 'recipient email adress', 'mail title', 'mail message'

Move the pfcmail(...) call to the pfccommand_nick.class.php file.
Put it near the "%s is connected" notice.

Yep, works like a charm is correct! Nice job guys & Thank you.

the pfccommand_nick.class.php equivalent is src/commands/nick.class.php

The new nickname can be found in $param (or in $newnick)
The old nickname can be found in $u->nick (or in $oldnick)

$c->title should work... I don't understand why it returns nothing, did you define it in your parameter list ?

I love this idea for a feature. I'm trying to implement it myself in pfc 1.0 final actually. However it appears to be not working. I never receive any a email message nor do I receive error messages on the web page let alone in the log files. Let me explain.

I created the pfcmail.php no problem in src/.
I then located the nick.class.php in /src/commands/ and try to find "%s is connected" as kerphi stated below, however I came up empty. So I took a guess and placed the require_once() and pfcmail() calls in nick.class.php at line 85 & 86. This obviously must be the wrong place or I've done something wrong.

My second guess to place the call for pfcmail() based on my search for "%s
joins %s" I found it in join.class.php. Should I place the call for pfcmail() at line 55 just after $cmd->run($xml_reponse, $cmdp);?

Any direction as to where I should call pfcmail() at a client joining chat would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have question how would you get it to send to serveral different e-mail address

like

require_once(dirname(__FILE__)."/pfcmail.php");
pfcmail ('Chat Admin','chat@yourdomain.com','chat@yourdomain.com;2ndemail@otherdomain.com;3rdemail@otherdomain.com','Chat Login at ' . $c->title ,'The user ' . $u->nick . ' has logged in to your chat room');

could you change the pfcmail.php
to

<?php
function pfcmail ($from_name='', $from_mail='', $to_mail='', $to_mail='',$to_mail='',$title='', $message='')
{
$from = 'From: ' . $from_name . ' <' . $from_mail . $from_mail .$from_mail '>';
$message_headers = "$from";
mail($to_mail, $title, $message, $message_headers);
}
?>

As for having multiple email addresses. Well all you have to do is have a string with email addresses separated by commons like so, 'webmaster@domainname.com,support@domainname.com,info@domainname.com'.

worked.

question about every 30 mins I get new e-mail that I have login, I am just setting in the chat room

That is strange as that does not happen for me. I only get one email message each time a user enters chat. I've posted exactly what I did. Not sure if this is okay but I'll post a link to my blog entry on this topic to ensure you have the reference to pfcmail() function in the correct location.

Good luck!

I found out after adding e-mail code back to chat is that it times out when in private chat?
