Succesful chat integration in Wordpress!! :)

[Burn]

There is one person who succeeded!!
Please read how he did it there:
http://frumph.webcomicplanet.com/code-s ... into-wpmu/

I'm currently in the process of integrating myself and I'm not done yet... so dont contact me for support... I 'm facing my own issues But that guy Frumph did it!

Yes, Frumph makes it sound so simple ... but alas, it is not successful for all apparently. I've followed the instructions for incorporating phpFreeChat into WordPress MU, but I get the following error upon loading the chat page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/myusername/public_html/chatroom/chat.php on line 2

Line 2 reads: require_once dirname(__FILE__)”/src/phpfreechat.class.php”;

Anyone have any ideas about how to resolve this? Thanks in advance for any help!

FYI: I got this to work after confirming all directory paths are correct for my server configuration and converting all the quote marks in the code provided to straight quotes. Also, the closing tag needs to be ?> not ?>

I've been trying to work out how to do this for awhile, finally found the answer here, thanks!

That's because your cut and pasting the slanted quotes .. replace all slanted " 's with regular " quotes.

That happens when you cut and paste from wordpress unfortunately sometimes.

Thanks! But read post #3 and you'll see how I caught that shortly after posting. D'oh! Our chat is up and running great thanks to you! Now if only we could figure out why the alert sound is so tempermental. :-/

I managed to integrate phpfreechat into wordpress. But when a registered user is joining, it asks for a nickname. How do I set it so as to use the same username?

Any answer? Anyone?

Check your chat.php code and parameters, especially the $current_user, $user_name and [nick] parameters. I've never had the issue you describe and here's my code in its entirety. Your dir. paths and title will also likely be different. Don't forget to wrap in php open/close tags! Hope this helps ...

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
require_once('/home/tripawds/public_html/wp-config.php');
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_name = addslashes($current_user->display_name);
$params = array();
$params["title"] = "Live Chat";
$params["nick"] = $user_name;
$params["isadmin"] = false; // do not use it on production servers
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
// setup urls
$params["data_public_url"] = "/chatroom/data/public";
$params["server_script_url"] = "/chatroom/chat.php";
$params["theme_default_url"] = "/chatroom/themes";
$params["timeout"] = 180000;
$params["theme"] = "default";
// setup paths
$params["container_type"] = "File";
$params["container_cfg_chat_dir"] = dirname(__FILE__)."/data/private/chat";
// Channels
$params["channels"] = array("Public");
$params["max_msg"] = 12;
$params["max_displayed_lines"] = 50;
$params["short_url"] = true;
$params["short_url_width"] = 25;
$params["quit_on_closedwindow"] = true;
$params["display_ping"] = false;
$params['skip_proxies'] = array('noflood');
//$params["debug"] = true;
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );
echo '
';
$chat->printChat();
echo '

';
