phpmychat who's online (works with vB3) · **Released**: 07-18-2003

Been done lots before, and is *very simple*, but this will work with pretty much most versions of vB and it definitely works with vB3! It's really not difficult as it's basically a (minor) mod of files included with phpmychat distro.

The following can be used to display "who's in chat" using PhpMyChat, either integrated (with Stasiks integration hack) or out of the box. It can be used with standalone chat dB or chat dB that has been integrated with vB, there are no vB files to hack, and only one template to edit. Again, vBintegration is not required, shared databases are not required for this to work.

It doesnt get much simpler. There are 3 steps....
1 file to upload.
1 addition to phpinclude template.
1 edit of forumhome template.

Hmmm, for some reason the txt file wont update, so here is the template with the changes made...

Code:

<!-- chatbox-->
<br>

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%" bgcolor="#000000">
  <tr>
    <td width="100%" bgcolor="#3A4456"><b><font size="2">Who's in chat</font></b> 
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign bordercolor="#333333"" bgcolor="#333333""top><div align="center"><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/chatdir/chat/index.php3" target="_blank">Chatroom</a></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td width="100%" valign bordercolor="#222222"" bgcolor="#222222""top> 
      <table width="95%" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#222222">
        <tr> 
          <td bordercolor="#333333" bgcolor="#333333"> 
            <div align="left"> <font size="2">$chatters </font></div></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- /chatbox -->

Then just rename the file to "chatters.php" - it doesnt make any difference.

what directory do you have phpmychat in? What directory do you have chatters.php3 in? What version of phpmychat are you running? What paths have you specified for the following: ?

Code:

$ChatPath = "../chatdir/chat/";

and

Code:

$ChatLaunch = "<b><A HREF=\"http://www.yourdomain.com/chatdir/chat/index.php3\"

and

Code:

require("http://www.yourdomain.com/chatdir/chatters.php3");

??

like I asked over @ vBt

great stuff, Im going to install this... BUT Im interested in working on a Side Menu like you did.... Mind telling me where to start? I looked at Mashby(I tihnk)'s template mod for vB2 but that got me no where since in running vB3.

Go here:
side menu template mod

It will work. It's a template mod, just html (or xhtml) and tables, there's no difference between vB2xx and vB3xx in that respect. You might have to tweak it a bit to get it to display just how you want, but the code is good for both versions.

The directory I have the phpmychat in is in the main directory so it would be http://www.ultimaforce.net/chat

I have chatters.php (renamed it) in chat directory in the main secion so it would be http://www.ultimaforce.net/chat/chatters.php

I am unsure as to were to figure out what version of phpmychat I am running it came on my server and has no number or any other item to allow me to figure that out.

Code:

$ChatPath = "../chat/chat/

Code:

$ChatLaunch = "<b><A HREF=\"http://www.ultimaforce.net/chat/index.php\" TARGET=\"_self\">chatting</A></B>

Code:

require("http://www.ultimaforce.net/chat/chatters.php");

Thanks for you help

Elly, in your $ChatPath you have too many "chat" dirs, change that to :

Code:

$ChatPath = "../chat/

And see what happens
