need some help... have ajax chat on my board but will get thet like shoutbox ...this point (add this function in your php code)in readme file can not understand ..maybe some can help

Code:
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>
regards

macc

Does not work 3.7 RC4. Chatbox always displays "Loading." When I remove the "define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);" from the two main scripts it works but the channels never show up.

Excellent... ce chat est vraiement top...
Seul hic, il faut syst?matiquement supprimer les commandes et les canaux puis ensuite les remettre...
L? avec la 0.4.0 j'ai de gros soucis pour ?a, les canaux ne r?apparaissent plus

Marked as Uninstalled. Can't get it to work with 3.7.0 RC4. Keep getting the "Loading..." message. I followed the instructions previously given to another user to edit the template but it still did not work.
