Chat Invitation
Version: 1.00, by amykhar amykhar is offline
Developer Last Online: Nov 2013 Show Printable Version Email this Page

Version: 2.2.x Rating:
Released: 02-15-2003 Last Update: Never Installs: 11
Is in Beta Stage  
No support by the author.

OK. This one was by request. It is most definitely in Beta.

This Hack puts a link on the Who's Online page that if clicked, invites the user to chat in your forum chat room.

1. You will have to do some customization to make this work for your chat system.
2. This is a manual install. Don't go anywhere near it if you don't know how to run queries, update files, create templates, etc.
3. I will support bugs and possibly add new features. However, I will not teach hacking basics in this thread.

Know Issues:
a) Resolved.
b) Currently, the only invitation link is on the Who's Online page. I will probably add it to the user profile later.
c) You are probably going to want to create an invitation icon to use instead of the text link I have. Feel free to share with the rest of us

Features:
a) User Control Panel interface allows members to turn off chat requests.
b) Shows who invited you to chat.

I had a similar issue with the hack: The pop-up box just wouldn't show up after I invited myself to chat.

What was actually happening was that the chat invite javascript was not loading into the head of the file. Yes, the template existed and yes, I'd made every change to the other four PHP files.

I checked the database and the changes I made to my account in the UserCP were working properly when I enabled and disabled pop ups for chat.

I finally got it to work when I commented out the following in global.php:

---------
$headchatInvite='';
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0 and $bbuserinfo['chatpopup']==2) {
if ($noshutdownfunc) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET chatpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
} else {
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY user SET chatpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]";
}
// $cutTime = time()-(15*60);
// if($bbuserinfo[invitetime] > $cutTime){
$chatInvite=1;
eval("\$headchatInvite = \"".gettemplate('head_chatInvite')."\";");
// } else {
// $chatinvite=0;
// $headchatInvite ="";
// }
}

-----------
So, obviously - I'm not getting the benefits of the timer functionality and - well - I was hoping to leave any solution up to you.

Only way I could get it to work too...

Ok. I'll strip that part out. It was an optional feature anyway. Works fine here, though.

It'd be cool if that worked, however. So, if anyone has any clues....

I think I found the problem. It looks like the zip has the wrong php file. I need a version control system

I updated it with the one from my server, and then that code should work fine.

Yup - you nailed it. Works fine.

For anyone else who already has it installed: Upload the new inviteChat.php file (and uncomment the lines in global.php if you followed my lead) to your server and that should take care of it.

Thanks.

Now I'm going to attempt to get an Invite to Chat Link in the user profile and see how that works out.

Hi I also installed this, works great.

Only thing, I tested this and cancelled the chat invite, should the user sending the invite then be told its been cancelled or something? I am not getting that.

Thanks

Stu

No. It doesn't tell the user that the invitee cancelled. Perhaps in the future.
