Error: the XML response from the server cannot be processed

by **Eminos** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 3:32 am

Hi there.

I've just discovered this great thing, and I want to implement it on my homepage.

I have some problems though:

1. I get this error msg:
"Error: the XML response from the server cannot be processed"

2. There are some errors in the styling. Some things in the chat seems to be centered and moved.

Please take a look at this link to see what I'm talking about:

There are some threads on this forum that discusses my first problem, but there is no solution (?)

I've managed to get rid of my #1 problem. Don't know how, I just started over and copied all my code form the beggining.

However I have got some other problems.

The chat doesn't seem to automaticly connect (or connects very slowly), it freezes or something ? Works fine in the demos on my server, but as soon as I combine the chat code with my original code, there is some interference.

There seems to be some "<center>" problems and perhaps some CSS problems, I can't find any problems in my original code.

The center problem is resolved by deleting this line:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

...but then of course I get problems in the chat styling.

Please take a look at the link that I posted above.

If you integrate the chat into a page which does a lot of calculation before processing the chat, you must separate the AJAX calls in a script.
See the demo3 : http://www.phpfreechat.net/demo/pfc/dem ... client.php

phpFreeChat try to be XHTML complient and the problem is that<center> tag is not allowed in XHTML.
You must uses CSS rules to center what you want :

Code: Select all: text-align: center;

or

Code: Select all: margin: auto;

(it depends on what you want to center : inline or block)

Hope that help.

regards,

Ok, thanks man. I guess I will have to update my homepage to xhtml. That's more modern.

I have one other "problem" too.
When loading the page, it jumpes down to the chat. I want the page to start on the top of the page, not to jump down to the chat. [see link in first post]

An other problem is when hiding and showing the userbox and smileys, they disappear ! .. even the chatbox sometimes disappear after hiding/showing smileys and userbox.

This is due to the initial focus givent to the chat' input text box. This is a real problem I didn't think about before your notice... I should add a parameter to desactivate the initial focus, I will do that for the next release.
As a workeround, maybe you can start the chat disconnected using this parameters : $params["connect_at_startup"] = false; (see the demo2 for an example), but I'm not sure it doesn't give focus as it should.

This bug is fixed in last 0.9 release.

Right! this is strange ...

by **Eminos** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 9:42 pm

Yes, very strange. This bug is very anoying.
When you fix this, and that initial focus "bug", then I can start using this officially on my homepage.

When is the next version due ?

BTW: Many thanks for great chat funciton ! I searched all over hotscripts.com, and this is exactly what I want ..

About the focus problem.
Could you try to comment these two lines in pfccommand_nick.class.php :
line 50 : $xml_reponse->addScript("$('".$c->prefix."words').focus();");
line 74 : $xml_reponse->addScript("$('".$c->prefix."words').focus();");

Keep me informed if that fix the focus problem.

by **Eminos** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 10:07 pm

Yes it works, thank you very much.

This user box disappearing problem not only occurs when switching the boxes on and off, but also when one disconnects and I just notices also that it disappears when there are many users in the chat.
