AJAX Chat Integration

[mark99]

I wasn't very happy with any of the current vBulletin AJAX Chat mods listed on here but I did manage to find this one, which contains partial vB integration (not listed here, that I can see):

https://blueimp.net/ajax/

However I've no idea how to implement the "online users" code and the author suggested I ask on a vB site. The code itself is listed here:

https://blueimp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=469

[SABRSox]

I'm also looking for this as well. The wiki for the project lists this solution for phpbb3, and the author says it should be able to work for vB with some modifications. I'm not terribly familiar with vB code, and was wondering if somebody could tackle this. I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm also looking for this!

[WEBDosser]

interesting..

[bulldog71169]

Hmmm... months later and still no answer on this question?

[Ramsesx]

Tried several hours yesterday to get an online list but with no success.
It would be nice if somebody could get this done, I'm wondering that this chat isn't used by many people.
It is very easy integrated in vbulletin, only upload files via ftp, click on install and everything is done.

i have working this nice chat on my board but only the registered users can login but can you make it like flashchat that you open the chat in the forums ? i have now a new window _blank

[MTGDarkness]

Bumping this? I would also really love to see a solution to this.

I#M also looking for AJAX "Online User" in vB.
Tried this today, but seems to be difficult. There are some Integration for MK-Portal, phpBB etc., but i can't change it to vB... only Errors.

(Same Question you'll find at German vbulletin-g.org)

Any Idea?

[Jaydee 2]

Ok Folks, now you can abandon the search. :D

The Solution you'll find here in the German Add-on Forum:

Works great, and you can change the Phrases as you like it.
Have Fun! :)

[ragtek]

Hi
it's planed to release it also on vb.org.

[MTGDarkness]

Lame, I have to register there too?
*is lazy*

Oh well. No big deal. Thanks. :)

[gorentals]

Is this only for German users?

hi
atm yes!
But, today morning i've released Version 1.4 which means that all bugs are fixed and all wishes wear implemented.
I hope that i can translate it this weekend, beginn of next week, so that i can release it soon as possible here on vb.org

[Jaydee 2]

Is this only for German users?

Not really. :) There are 4 different official vBulletin Boards, and with your License you can register in all of them.
If you don't wanna wait until the english Version- Release, you can download a Add-on/Modification also in the German-Area.
Same way i'm from Germany and nevertheless a member oft this (english) Board. :)

[Daryn]

Good stuff. I'll be waiting on the english version.

[Saviour]

"Ditto"...waiting for the English version...

Total integration with vBulletin (http://www.vbulletin-ressources.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13869) (french tutorial)

Demo: http://www.vbulletin-ressources.com/forum/misc.php?do=page&template=chat (you must registered)

[Daryn]

Hey, whatever happened to the English version of the addon?

[gundarN]

I've got the German version working on my English board; but I don't know how to change the display text from German to English:
"Es ist 1 User im Chat"

[ragtek]

Hey, whatever happened to the English version of the addon?
if you mean my add-on:
never find the time to translate everything and to release it here:(

[paphmad]

Can you just post the files over here as they are? I'm fine with a german version, I just want a version that works!
I can't seem to register or log onto the german site, even though i've set the right settings over at vbulletin.com


Please please pleas

:(

[ragtek]

I don't think that the team here will give a ok for it, but you can download it from vb-germany without problems

[paphmad]

I've tried, my german is "ok" but even with babelfish i can't seem to register or log on.
And you can't download the zip without being logged on :(

I'm having the same trouble with the french site too, vbulletin.org was no problem though.

You guys might be the best ones to ask this, I have tried to install the package, (using Allan's method above)
it says it's been installed, asks me to delete the install.php files which I do.

But when I try to load the chat/index.php all I get is this

Query: SELECT userID, userName, userRole, channel, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(dateTime) AS timeStamp, ip FROM ``.ajax_chat_online ORDER BY userName; Error-Report: Incorrect database name '' Error-Code: 1102

Am I doing something really really stupid? :(

Ok ignore all that, I was being stupid, hadn't used the correct settings in config.php
Got AJAX chat working perfectlyon my site.

[hbalagh1]

I finally got the french translation version working w/ lots of use of google translator

[zetetic]

FAIL! I registered at that German forum to get the add-on and still get "permission denied" when I try to download it. :mad:

Having a way to integrate Ajax with vbulletin would be awesome. I'm not looking for anything super fancy, just make it so that users don't have to log in with a second login information...

Anyone had luck on making an english version?

I second this... maybe someone who got it working could write up some English instructions?

[lodac]

I really am not concerned with the 'intergration' into the templates, however my members called for a Who's In Chat feature, like the one created for Flashchat on vB4.

I have created one off looking at how Who's In Flashchat 6. It is still not completed, however I am using it on my forum and will work on finishing it up today. I have yet to create a vB4 Mod, so packaging it will come and go.

You can see what I am talking about here:

Hi.

I installed Ajax Chat 0.8.3 on my forum with vbulletin 3.8.4 and its running perfect but before I used Cyb Chatbox as shoutbox on my forumhome just below de navbar and I liked that a lot.

The readme file of ajax chat says

Shoutbox:
=========

AJAX Chat is also usable as shoutbox - this is a short guide on how to set it up:


1. Shoutbox stylesheet
----------------------

Add the following line to the stylesheet (CSS) of all pages displaying the shoutbox:

@import url("http://example.org/path/to/chat/css/shoutbox.css");

Replace http://example.org/path/to/chat/ with the URL to the chat.
Modify css/shoutbox.css to your liking.


2. Shoutbox function
--------------------

Add the following function to your PHP code:

<?php
function getShoutBoxContent() {
// URL to the chat directory:
if(!defined('AJAX_CHAT_URL')) {
define('AJAX_CHAT_URL', './chat/');
}

// Path to the chat directory:
if(!defined('AJAX_CHAT_PATH')) {
define('AJAX_CHAT_PATH', realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/chat').'/');
}

// Validate the path to the chat:
if(@is_file(AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'lib/classes.php')) {

// Include Class libraries:
require_once(AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'lib/classes.php');

// Initialize the shoutbox:
$ajaxChat = new CustomAJAXChatShoutBox();

// Parse and return the shoutbox template content:
return $ajaxChat->getShoutBoxContent();
}

return null;
}
?>

Make sure AJAX_CHAT_URL and AJAX_CHAT_PATH point to the chat directory.


2. Shoutbox output
------------------

Display the shoutbox content using the shoutbox function:

<div style="width:200px;"><?php echo getShoutBoxContent(); ?></div>

But to be honest I have no clue which files to change with above instructions. So my question is: does anybody know in which files I should paste step one, the stylesheet, in which file and where I should put the function and where exactly to put the output string?

I've searched a lot in many forums but didn't find the solution untill now.

Thanks a lot for your help!!

I have yet to create a vB4 Mod, so packaging it will come and go.



That looks good. Can i download that mod for VB4?

[Drake Splinter]

Sorry to reanimate a zombie thread, but I'm wondering if anyone was able to get this working, with user integration/bridge and shoutbox? My users loved having this chat back when we were still on phpBB, but the feature was lost after moving to vbulletin since blueimp doesn't seem to offer any vb support. I've tried other ajax-based chats for vbulletin, but they "just aren't the same."

I know this is a vb3 section, but I'd also like to know if anyone has been able to get this working on vb4.

[StinkBuddies]

Did anyone every make this work for VB 4?

[ICThawk]

For those trying to do this with vB4 I have started a thread

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=269509

I have put together a few pieces to the integration puzzle and am working on the last.

[intp]

I have ajax chat connected to my vBulletin forum. Both are running from the same server right now.

I would like to move ajax chat to a different server to reduce CPU load but still integrate with the vBulletin user logins. I know how to access the database remotely but the question is how can I do user authentication for chat if not on the same server as vb?
