Chat loading.... but never finishes loading! Help!

by **born2beflyin** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 2:55 pm

I can open the chat page and I see the message "Chat loading... Please wait", but the chat never finishes loading and never displays.

All of the demos have the same problem.

However, I can load the official demo at phpfreechat.net.

I'm running IIS 5.1 on Windows XP SP2, PHP 4.4.2, PFC 1.0 beta 9.

Go to "http://12.168.179.7/ratchat" to see the problem

Try the demo21 : http://12.168.179.7/ratchat/demo/demo21 ... d_urls.php

But add this parameter to fix the resources url problem :
$params["theme_default_url"] = "../themes";

Thanks! That made the chat work, but how do I get it to look like the official demo? Is there a theme that is already set up to make PFC look like the official demo?

I got it to work with the correct theme. Thanks for your help!

the official demo uses the defaut theme.

If fact your just have to clear the data/private/cache/ directory content in order to take into account the added "theme_default_url" parameter.
Then you will get the default theme resources.

Someone please help.

Here the same problem...

My themes are outside of PFC:

$params['theme'] = "testtheme";
$params['themepath'] = "./mychat/themes";
$params['data_private_path'] = dirname(__FILE__).'/myschat/data/private/';
$params['data_public_path'] = dirname(__FILE__).'/mychat/data/public/';
$params['data_public_url'] = './mychat/data/public/';

Further investigation showed, that if i call my chat script manually, everything works fine, except that my theme is not loaded...

Kerphi, how is the new code working in detail?
what happens when?
Do i need to change my old beta7-Javascripts in some way to support the new loading stuff?

I have the same problem too...
The page finishes the download, but the "chat loading" animation remains, with no chat available...

here is my admin.utchat.conf.php :

// parameters phpfreechat : $utparams[] || see phpfreechat doc PLEASE !!!!!
$utparams['frozen_nick'] = TRUE;
$utparams['channels'] = array('Room 1','Room 2','joomla');
$utparams['theme'] = 'msn';
$utparams['admins'] = array('admin' => '');
$utparams['language'] = 'en_US';
$utparams["theme_default_url"] = "../themes";

PHP 4.4.4
Apache 1.3.37 (Unix)

Thanks!
Peleg.

I additionally found out that thought *sometimes* my chat loads (i added the theme_default_url, client_script_url and server_script_url parameters) my chat loads with the default theme but doesn't connect.

Something is horrible wrong here.

I think ( and am reasonably certain) that this is a URL/scope problem. These problems all seem to occur when trying to integrate PFC in Joomla. (Correct me if I'm wrong). I downloaded an tried UTChat, and from examining the code, there are issues all over the place. Some of these have been corrected by Stéphane (Kerphi) since, and will be integrated in beta 10 I guess. But from what I saw in utChat code (based on beta 9) it just cannot work fully. It might on a local install, but most probably not (fully) on a remote host. I managed to get PFC beta 9 working in Joomla! , but there are some issues that are not solved yet. (see this thread: http://www.phpfreechat.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1306 )

Because of the script being called anasynchronously, there are scope issues with Joomla! because of the way a component is called. There are clashes between the server_script_url in pfc and the Joomla! context. I think it's possible to resolve this question, and am fairly confident that pcf beta10 will be a step in the right direction. But as of now, I don't see how it could be possible to have utChat to work on a remote host in Joomla, given the code.

Just my 0.02, and with due respect to the developers, sincerely

(and please correct me if I'm wrong)
Dirk

Sounds reasonable... Thanks.

My chat is loaded inside a pane of my website via dojo.
Maybe that causes the problem too...
As i said, i am able to start the chat outside of my framework (chat.php).
If i call it through the interface of my website, the content of chat.php is loaded via dojo.

Kerphi, is it possible somehow to load the chat interface "the old way"? but still sue beta9?
