Chat Invitation · **Released**: 02-15-2003

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.

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.

amykhar · #53 05-24-2003, 02:27 PM

I believe you could do it with modifications. Because that chat window is open all the time, you wouldn't need to open the windown when somebody accepts the invitation to chat.

Could you more detailed?
What shoudl I start from (because you coded it).

Modify the head_chatInvite template. That is the javascript that controls what happens when the invite window pops up.

Having a problem...

Quote:

a) Open admin/functions.php

Find: global $DB_site,$replacementsetid,$gzipoutput,$gziplevel, $newpmmsg,$microstats;

Replace With: global $DB_site,$replacementsetid,$gzipoutput,$gziplevel, $newpmmsg,$microstats,$chatInvite;

I can't locate "$microstats" anywhere in the admin/functions.php file. Here's the closest thing I can find:

Quote:

global $PHP_SELF, $DB_site, $replacementsetid, $gzipoutput, $gziplevel, $newpmmsg;

Is that correct? (notice the spaces)

Funkie · #57 05-25-2003, 08:13 PM

$microstats

unless you have that hack installed you wont find it

you have it right in your quote

kaotic · #58 05-25-2003, 09:09 PM

Alright, cool. I ran into a couple of small errors in the instructions, but other than that, this hack is working great! I suggest cleaning up the install file some and moving it to Full Releases when you get the chance.

ImportPassion · #59 06-24-2003, 07:19 PM

ok, I just went to add this in 2.2.9 and I don't have this anywhere!

Find: if ($newpmmsg) {
if (substr($PHP_SELF,-strlen('private.php'))=='private.php') {
} else {
$newtext=preg_replace("/<body/i","<body onload=\"Javascript:confirm_newpm()\"",$newtext);
}
}

WTF?

D|ver · #60 04-07-2004, 01:52 PM

will there be a vb3 version of this?

that would be so great

nighteyes · #61 07-11-2004, 09:04 AM

I want to see this for vb3 too
