Here's the pre-info...
Based upon the myphpchat 0.14.5 engine...
Using parts of the code scattered around on how to integrate it to use vb's user db......
THEN!!!
I added a field in the user table called 'phpchat'
Then, I added the code for the UserCP to enable or diable it per user. (this part works great so far)...
Then I created a new template, that contains a new iframe, and launches the myphpchat/index.php inside the iframe...
Then I added a new variable @ the bottom of the footer called $phpchatsystem....
Now... here's the tricky part..
in global.php, I need to add something like this:
PHP Code:
// Check the user's preference to enable the Chat System...
$phpchatcheck=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT phpchatsys FROM user WHERE username = '".$bbuserinfo['username']."'");
if ($phpchatcheck) {
eval("\$phpchatsystem = \"".gettemplate('phpchaton')."\";");
} else {
}
Or something that....
Checks to see if the phpchatsys field for you is on or not, and if it is....
it takes that variable in the footer section, and calls my phpchaton template data...
if it's not, it either calls a phpchatoff template that's empty (been there tried that), or just does nothing is fine...
Here' my problem....
Everything works like a champ, except.... if I turn it on in my user options, it appears for me... and everyone else (even though there setting is off) gets the newtemplate passed through my $phpchatsystem
Now when I just bypass the user settings, this thing is UNREAL... it sits in your footer in a new section, and everytime a registered user logs on, they are instantly authenticated, and brought in to the myphp session... and since it's in the footer... People can navigate around ANYWHERE in the board, and still have somewhat real time chat with every other member logged in.
It works great built in to the header, the footer, and called from a seperate IE window... and all work flawless....
Except... when trying to have it user selectable... Soon as I turn it on for one member, it turns it on for all...

Quick Summary
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
If- you have a variable in your footer, that you want converted to a template ... that is user specific.
AND- you have a new template you want added @ the end of the footer only if that user had the option enabled in his user profile...
AND- everything else is 100% working...
HOW- and WHAT code would you add (and is it in global.php, which I assumed, cuz of the way the: [ $newpmmsg and headnewpm ] are delt with )
To check query for this user, his setting, and if so, use the new template, if not, don't.

I'm looking to create a URL, that will, with a single click, turn off the chat system....
So in member.php I created a new action statment..
PHP Code:
// ############################### start phpchat off ###############################
if ($action=="phpchatsysoff") {
$templatesused = "redirect_updatethanks";
include("./global.php");
// check permissions, then disable the php chat system
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0 or $permissions['canmodifyprofile']==0) {
show_nopermission();
} else {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET phpchatsys = 0 WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_updatethanks")."\",\"usercp.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\");");
}
}
and I put it right before the Modify Profile code....
By all rights, it should update the database for your user account, and set the flag off, (just like doing it via the UserCP, and saving)..
When I do it via the UserCP, it works great.
and during the standard redirect , it does disable the system...
Of course, we have the UserCP option, to enable or disable, and NOW, we have the scripts for a single click url, that will also Enable or Disable the system...
Slide system all tweaked out as well.... so here's my 3 links to the new PHP chat system.
Internal means, Enabled in the footer, on every page (as seen above).. External, of course is launched in a new IE window, and leaves the phpchatsysoff.
