Unexpected bug in FUDforum integration

Hi there !
I have tried to set up phpFreeChat in FUDforum for a while now, and I can't get the Chat to work.
Well, I have also read all the required reading in FAQs and all that.
So my problem is :
I have the latest FUDforum version, 3.0.4.1 and the latest phpFreeChat 1.x version, which is 1.6
After I put the chat code inside my footer and rebuild my theme, I have this error :

Code: Select all: Fatal error: Call to a member function printChat() on a non-object in /web/geekforum/www/theme/default/index.php on line 606

I can't figure out what it is.
Could you help me, please ? That would be awesome to have your wonderful chat working ! :mrgreen:

It's hard to figure it out without your code, but I'm guessing that you may have forgotten a piece of the required code: $chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

If you want to post your code I can give you a more specific answer

Wow, what a fast answer ! I'm impressed and very happy that you would take my question into account nearly immediately ! Thanks a lot !
I may not have set up things correctly because I am not really used to dealing with php and code, but this is what I did :
I modified the code by adding the chunk that was mentionned here and on the FUDwiki :

Code: Select all: <?php require_once dirname("/web/geekforum/www/GLOBALS.php")."/src/phpfreechat.class.php"; fud_use('db.inc'); fud_use('cookies.inc'); $fuduser = ses_get(); if ($fuduser->alias == $ANON_NICK) $fuduser->alias = 'guest'.rand(1,1000); // generate random nick for guest $params = array(); $params["serverid"] = md5("/web/geekforum/www/GLOBALS.php"); // calculate a unique id for this chat $params["title"] = "Geek Forum chat"; $params["language"] = "en_US"; $params["nick"] = $fuduser->alias; // setup the intitial nickname $params["start_minimized"] = true; $params['firstisadmin'] = false; //$params["isadmin"] = true; // makes everybody admin: do not use it on production servers ;) $params["debug"] = false; $chat = new phpFreeChat( $params ); ?>

Then, I cut and paste this chunk into my footer template, so that it could print the chat itself :

Code: Select all: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>phpFreeChat- Sources Index</title> <link rel="stylesheet" title="classic" type="text/css" href="style/generic.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" title="classic" type="text/css" href="style/header.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" title="classic" type="text/css" href="style/footer.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" title="classic" type="text/css" href="style/menu.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" title="classic" type="text/css" href="style/content.css" /> </head> <body> <div class="header"> <img alt="phpFreeChat" src="style/logo.gif" class="logo2" /> </div> <div class="menu"> <ul> <li class="sub title">General</li> <li> <ul class="sub"> <li class="item"> <a href="demo/">Demos</a> </li> <?php if (file_exists(dirname("/web/geekforum/www/GLOBALS.php")."/checkmd5.php")) { ?> <li> <a href="checkmd5.php">Check md5</a> </li> <?php } ?>  </ul> </li> <li class="sub title">Documentation</li> <li> <ul> <li class="item"> <a href="http://www.phpfreechat.net/overview">Overview</a> </li> <li class="item"> <a href="http://www.phpfreechat.net/quickstart">Quickstart</a> </li> <li class="item"> <a href="http://www.phpfreechat.net/parameters">Parameters list</a> </li> <li class="item"> <a href="http://www.phpfreechat.net/faq">FAQ</a> </li> <li class="item"> <a href="http://www.phpfreechat.net/advanced-configuration">Advanced configuration</a> </li> <li class="item"> <a href="http://www.phpfreechat.net/customize">Customize</a> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p class="partner"> <a href="http://www.phpfreechat.net"><img alt="phpfreechat.net" src="style/logo_88x31.gif" /></a><br/> </p> </div> <div class="content"> <?php $chat->printChat(); ?> <?php if (isset($params["isadmin"]) && $params["isadmin"]) { ?> <p style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">Warning: because of "isadmin" parameter, everybody is admin. Please modify this script before using it on production servers !</p> <?php } ?> </div> <div class="footer"> <span class="partners">phpFreeChat partners:</span> <a href="http://www.jeu-gratuit.net">jeux gratuits</a> | <a href="http://jeux-flash.jeu-gratuit.net">jeux flash</a> | <a href="http://www.pronofun.com">pronofun</a> | <a href="http://areno.jeu-gratuit.net">areno</a> | <a href="http://www.micropolia.com">micropolia</a> | <a href="http://www.zeitoun.net">zeitoun</a> | <a href="http://federation.jeu-gratuit.net">federation</a> </div> </body></html>

This is what I did, I made a mistake somewhere and if you could point it out to me so that I can correct it and make your cool chat work in my actual site (this one is for testing purposes : http://geekforum.fr, it would be really awesome !
Cheers !

Okay, are you sure that the first part is being loaded before the bottom part? It seems to think that $chat hasn't been set up yet, which indicates that the first chunk of code isn't being executed.

hI, thanks for looking at the code.
I am not sure on how to check whether the 1st part is loaded or not. How should I check that ?
