Change \"My Room\"

[Nico]

I have tried several methods found in the forums, and I simply cannot get this to change.
I have my chat room set up with one channel, nothing fancy. I can change the browser title, and such. But the default channel created is always My Room.
I've found the code snippet in the source where it tells me what the param should be, but when I changed it it ticked off the chatroom and I had to delete the string.
I don't want anything fancy, I just want to be able to change that tab name to something else.

HELP!

you use :

$params['channels']='AnyChannelName';

then you rehash the chat, then disconnect from chat reenter and should be there..

I think re*s.t.a.r.s.*2 meant:
$params=['channels'] = array('AnyChannelName');

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

OOPs yes correct sorry...

thanks Oldwolf..

When I use this...

Code: Select all

$params=['channels'] = array('AnyChannelName');

it returns error...

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/chatroot/index.php on line 13

When I use this...

Code: Select all

$params["channels"] = array("Lounge");

No error. Chat loads. but the name is still "My room"

Any idea why?

Thanks

Hi,

what you need to do is "/rehash" the chat, for the configuration to take effect..
also the error you have an extra "=" at the $params.

That means Oldwolf correction to your code is also wrong

Got it all sorted out.

I use this code for the benefit of others who will ask this in the future.

Code: Select all

$params["channels"] = array("AnyChannelName");

By the way, which is better, single quote or double quote?

Thanks

hi,
double quote its used when you want to use a $var,will be seen as a php var, single quote its sees as a string..

Yea... I saw that... slipped in an equal sign by mistake

I want to change my room name of the change, I have tried MANY times and it didnt work. I have search everywhere and I have no clue what to do. I am not an expert, i dunno about "programming" but I have followed what you people said here and nothing happened.

I was also trying to chance the amount of old messages that chat shows when you get in and it didnt work... I did the rehash thing everytime.

$params = array();
$params["title"] = "BCS Chat";
$params['admins'] = array('ConiglioDE' => 'xxxx');
$params["nick"] = "BCS_guest".rand(1,1000); // setup the intitial nickname
$params['firstisadmin'] = false;
//$params["isadmin"] = false; // makes everybody admin: do not use it on production servers
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["debug"] = false;
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );
$params['channels'] = array('Clubhouse');
$params["channels"] = array("Clubhouse");
$params["max_msg"] = "5";

?>

Hi,

Just one parameter $params['channels'] = array('Clubhouse');

then just rehash the chat , typing as admin "/rehash" without quotes..

regards.

[Coniglio]

Yep, I know. It was just as an example. However this still not working!!! Did Rehash and deleted the cache folder. :/ :/ For more than one room what I am supposed to do? 'Clubhouse','Clubhouse2'

[Coniglio]

someone?

Hi,

Put your current index code, between "code" bbcode tags so we can see the code and understand why that parameter is not being taken in account..

regards.
