Wordpress 2.9.2 integration phpfreechat 1.2 up to 1.3

[re*s.t.a.r.s.*2]

Hi, this is for wordpress 2.9.2
I could not make phpfreechat plugin to work, what I did was to make a regular folder at the root of my site called chat then put phpfreechat content there, then in my index.php put this code:

Code: Select all

<?php
// this will integrate the wordpress database
require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
require_once('../blog/wp-config.php');
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_name = addslashes($current_user->display_name);
$params = array();
$params["nick"] = "Guest".rand(1,1000);
if (!empty($user_name)) {
$params["nick"] = $user_name;}/*this make phpfreechat pickup the username from the wordpress cookie.*/

// other $params settings goes here
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );
//end of code

Then you call phpfreechat in a div, p, tag inside the index.php like this..

Code: Select all

<div id="content">
<?php $chat->printChat(); ?>
</div>

Then now you have your wordpress integrated to your chat..... if user is not logged in will get a Random name, if logged in then get the wordpress user name from cookie...
Then you just need to play with css to make the chat look as you like.....
To make a Administrartor to any of your autors use this code...

Code: Select all

$params["isadmin"] = false;
if ( current_user_can('publish_posts') ) $params['isadmin'] = true;

So there you have it, let me know if I omitted anything...

NOTE:
My root structure looks like this www is the root folder www/blog/ and www/chat/ where phpfreechat sits.... thats why the paths of wp-config.php migth be different that yours....

Your code doesn't work...

I saw that it missed a "}" after "$params["nick"] = $user_name;" but now the chat doesn't load :/
I also replaced "require_once('../blog/wp-config.php');" to the correct path to my wp-config.php

There is my index.php (headers):
<?php
// this will integrate the wordpress database
require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
require_once('../wp-config.php');
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_name = addslashes($current_user->display_name);
$params = array();
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["nick"] = "Guest".rand(1,1000);
if (!empty($user_name)) {
$params["nick"] = $user_name;}/*this make phpfreechat pickup the username from the wordpress cookie.*/

// other $params settings goes here
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );
$params["title"] = "PowaServ Chat";
$params['firstisadmin'] = true;
//$params["isadmin"] = true; // makes everybody admin: do not use it on production servers
$params["debug"] = false;
//end of code
?>

Thank you...

You were right about missing } fix it now, your wordpress installation could sit differently in your server that's why the path of you wp-config.php is not the same as mine , now the thing that doesn't work in your code is because you missing this code at the end of the $params:

$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

fix that it should work now.... thank you

Hi re*s.t.a.r.s.*2,

Can I use your code for my Wordpress site? I also want a phpfreechat plugin on my Wordpress. You made this code spending your time and effort in it, if you would permit me to use it then I would be very happy about it.
