pnFreeChat Integration Module Testers Wanted  Bottom

  • Hi,
    I wanted a chat module integrated into PostNuke and looked at phpFreeChat and pnFreeChat but pnFreeChat didn't properly integrate into PostNuke ie. no ability to properly manage chatrooms or integration into permissions system. So I wrote a new module which does those things. It's at the NOC under the project name mFreeChat. What I need is some people to test it, especially the permissions system. At the moment download is by CVS only. As this is just a first test release it will probably be easier to manage thay way. You need to download phpFreeChat separately and can install it anywhere. If you set the admin variables correctly it should even be possible to install it outside of your public web space. Please use the NOC for feedback and bugs.

    Regards,
    Mike
  • I made a release too for good measure,

  • I'll check it out this week if I have time.
  • hi mike,

    thanks for your work. tested your integration but i always get an error, saying "No such chat". Afterwards in the admin panel is said: Values not accepted by API in xxx/pnuserapi.php[128].

    i checked line 128 saing that a cid and a name are required. typed them into the URL but still the same error.

    thanks,
    tim

    p.s.: what is stronlgy needed is a "who is in the chat"-block.

    Hi,
    did you actually create some chats in the admin panel ? What is the URL you are using ?

  • i created a chat named "Teneriffa" with ID=1 and the channel "Test".

    tried the followoing URL:
    index.php?module=mFreeChat&cid=1&name=Test
    and
    index.php?module=mFreeChat&cid=1&name=Teneriffa (although that doesnt really make sense icon_wink )

    best,
    tim
  • Try...

    index.php?name=mFreeChat&chat=Test

    Regards,
    Mike
  • Actually on second thoughts it should be index.php?name=mFreeChat&chat=Teneriffa

  • If anyone is interested in this phpFreechat integration, I'm currently writing some blocks... and would like input on exactly whay people would like to see in the blocks.

  • I'd like to see a who's chatting block with a quick join link to enter the chatroom.

    Somewhat like spchat without the bugs.
  • I installed this and the module appears to be working. I created a channel but I can't log into chat.

    I tried creating a link to it in the main menu, I used [mFreeChat] and {mFreeChat} but all I get is a white page.

    I'm up to date on PHP and mysql running PN .7.64
  • Links need to be of the form... index.php?name=mFreeChat&chat=Mike's%20Room... ie. you have to link to a valid chat. There is a beta of a who's online block in CVS. If you're not using phpfreechat SVN then you will have to patch pfcinfo.class.php for the block to work properly:

  • I'm just installing this now so if you still need tester feedback, I'll try to help provide some via NOC I assume.
  • Just installed this and when trying to load the chat I get at the very top of the site screen
    "Notice: moderator Sorak in /var/www/family/modules/mFreeChat/pnuser.php on line 101"

    And the spinning thing.. with chat loading please wait... and it sits there forever..
  • I like pnPHPFreeChat. Although it still needs alot of work. Did they stop the work on it? If your going to take it further and call it mphpfreechat, then I will be interested in trying it out also. I use pnphpfreechat over at http://www.dxradioworld.com
