Integrate PHP-Fusion with ajax_chat

1. Hi and tnx for the mod. But it don’t work. As I’ve told on SF, it give me a blank page when I try to open the chat.
   Also, I’ve to change require_once “../maincore.php”; with require_once “http://www.xxx.xx/maincore.php”; or it give me a bad XML interpretation

2. It works, what happens is that you need to fix the require for the maincore.php, as I stated above in the post you need to check how its your path done and connect it..

   Like I have like this /webroot/PHP-FUSION

   then I have the chat like this /webroot/PHP-FUSION/chat
   then my require looks like this require_once “../maincore.php”;

   I should fix the above example because it don’t reflect my paths..

3. The Master, you need to make sure you got everything done, this is for the latest PHP-FUSION, and there is also a new function that must be also copied or you will receive the kind of errors you have..

   thanks

4. Fail. This doesnt work.

5. what doesnt work, can you elaborate?.

6. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_REQUIRE_ONCE in /member/p2pinside/chat/lib/custom.php on line 11

   is here:

   require_once “../maincore.php”;

   what’s the solution?

7. you need to find the path of your “maincore.php” in your installation because in this tutorial I have used my installation and its different than yours..
   regards.

8. Thank you for this tutorial! Very useful! I’ve got it working!

9. Is this a similar way to integrate it with PHP-Nuke? I can’t seem to find an available tutorial for that CMS.

10. Hum, If I get people to support the idea to make it happens I would install PHP-NUKE on my test bed…

    And make the integrations…
    thanks and regards.

11. it seems that I am not able to get to maincore.php – pls help!

    I have files as following:
    http://www.simplenunique.com/maincore.php

    http://simplenunique.com/chat/install.php,

    the path for maincore, i tried /maincore.php; and then to avoid any mistakes put the whole path as http://www.simplenunique.com/maincore.php

    I still get message The maincore.php was not found.
    Please make sure the path is correct in your installation.

    The path I am changing is in custom.php.

    Any idea what’s happenign 🙁 I am not so good at this it seems

12. Hi,

    can you please output this code for debugging at the top of the page after $maincore_path?

    [php]echo $_SERVER{‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’} . $maincore_path;
    exit();[/php]

    This way I can see your server vars and the whole require path..

    thanks a lot.

13. I have installed ajax and followed all instructions in order to integrate it with phpfusion , but i got this message:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare CustomAJAXChat::getValidLoginUserData() in /web/htdocs/www.ftfansub.net/home/chat/lib/class/CustomAJAXChat.php on line 82

    Could u help me to fix it?

    Thank you very much!

14. Hi,

    the error is clear, you have re-declared a function with the same name as one that already exist..

    What phpfusion version do you have?

    Can you post the whole code of CustomAJAXCHAT.php using the [ php ] tags?

    thanks..

    Thank you again!

16. There, you are pasting the tutorial in a different place.. that function is at the beginning of the document..
    I suggest you to start from scratch the tutorial…
    If you get stuck let me know again..

    I am kind of busy.

    regards

17. Okay, now it works!
    Thank you for the support ^.^

18. Hello, Good work on the tut. But I run into a problem, I get nothing but a white screen….. Is their any one to get this fix?

19. Hi,

    Whats your phpfusion version?

    Is there any error in your server logs?

    please as much information you can provide..

    thanks.

20. Hi i used

    echo $_SERVER{‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’} . $maincore_path;
    exit();

    but still giving following error

    The maincore.php was not found.
    Please make sure the path is correct in your installation.

    my version 7.02.04

21. Hi mike,

    You shouldnt have that error if you put this code after
    $maincore_path

    [php]echo $_SERVER{‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’} . $maincore_path;
    exit();[/php]

    The exit function should have stopped execution.

    Please try once more and write the output of that echo.

    regards

22. Hello! Can’t understand where is the problem:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_FUNCTION in [path]/chat/lib/class/AJAXChat.php on line 3234

    [code] function IfUserExist($username){
    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER, DB_PASS);
    if($link)
    {
    $username=mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($username));
    mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);
    $db_table=DB_PREFIX."users";
    $query = "SELECT user_name FROM $db_table WHERE user_name=’$username’";
    $result= mysql_query($query);
    if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
    {
    return true;
    mysql_close($link);
    }else{
    return false;
    }
    }else{
    die(‘There is an error in the custom function IfUserExist()’ . mysql_error());
    }
    }
    $userData = array();

    $userData[‘userRole’] = AJAX_CHAT_GUEST;
    return $userData;

    $this->_customVars = array();
    if(!isset($this->_customVars[$key]))
    return null;
    return $this->_customVars[$key];
    }
    [/code]

    Error points to this line: $userData = array();

23. You have paste it wrong, I I suggest you to try again just
    delete getGestUser function and copy paste the code again..

    [php]function getGuestUser() {
    if(!$this->getConfig(‘allowGuestLogins’))
    return null;

    if($this->getConfig(‘allowGuestUserName’)) {
    $maxLength = $this->getConfig(‘userNameMaxLength’)
    – $this->stringLength($this->getConfig(‘guestUserPrefix’))
    – $this->stringLength($this->getConfig(‘guestUserSuffix’));

    // Trim guest userName:
    $userName=$this->getRequestVar(‘userName’);
    if($this->IfUserExist($userName)){
    return null;
    }
    $userName = $this->trimString($this->getRequestVar(‘userName’), null, $maxLength, true, true);

    // If given userName is invalid, create one:
    if(!$userName) {
    $userName = $this->createGuestUserName();
    } else {
    // Add the guest users prefix and suffix to the given userName:
    $userName = $this->getConfig(‘guestUserPrefix’).$userName.$this->getConfig(‘guestUserSuffix’);
    }
    } else {
    $userName = $this->createGuestUserName();
    }

    $userData = array();
    $userData[‘userID’] = $this->createGuestUserID();
    $userData[‘userName’] = $userName;
    $userData[‘userRole’] = AJAX_CHAT_GUEST;
    return $userData;
    }
    /* lets create a custom function that will check if username exist in database.. PHP 4.0.3 , PHP 5*/

    function IfUserExist($username){
    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER, DB_PASS);
    if($link)
    {
    $username=mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($username));
    mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);
    $db_table=DB_PREFIX."users";
    $query = "SELECT user_name FROM $db_table WHERE user_name=’$username’";
    $result= mysql_query($query);
    if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
    {
    return true;
    mysql_close($link);
    }else{
    return false;
    }
    }else{
    die(‘There is an error in the custom function IfUserExist()’ . mysql_error());
    }
    }[/php]

24. Yeap, just pasted wrong. thx 🙂

25. I get this error

    [quote]Default – no theme found.

    We are really sorry but this page cannot be displayed. Due to some circumstances no site theme can be found. If you are a Site Administrator, please use your FTP client to upload any theme designed for PHP-Fusion v7 to the themes/ folder. After upload check in Main Settings to see if the selected theme was correctly uploaded to your themes/ directory. Please note that the uploaded theme folder has to have the exact same name (including character case, which is important on Unix based servers) as chosen in Main Settings page.[/quote]

26. the error tells you everything,

    you need to upload a theme to your phpfusion site, Ajax-chat has its on internal themes and the integration script doesn’t require any theme..

    something you must have misconfiguration.

    appreciate your comment.

27. if you check the site I am trying to run it on http://eo-red.us you will find that I do indeed have a theme installed

28. I get it,

    But the integration doesn’t require any theme, it uses its own. so I cant really help if that got nothing to do with the integration…

29. Hey there! I found this page after googling for a way to get Ajax Chat working on PHP Fusion. Thanks so much for this, your work is much appreciated and I’m sure my sites members would say the same!

    I’ve successfully got it working, but have a couple of questions:

    1) Is it possible to make a panel for PHP Fusion to show how many users are online in chat? I used to have this when I used flashchat but I’m not sure how to pull the information from Ajaxchat. I don’t know much in the way of coding so I’m a little stuck 🙂

    2) If you go directly to http://www.neogeoforlife.com/ajaxchat without having logged in at the site first, it shows a login page… entering your login details from the main site doesn’t work though. Is there a way to fix this?

    Thanks for any help you can give and once again thanks so much for your work! 🙂

    Kaz

30. Hi,

    Appreciate you comments, as of now I don’t remember if this version would work with the new versions of php-fusion since when I coded this integration worked for auto login and would also work when supplying your user info at ajaxchat login page…
    Nope, I’ve skimmed tru the tutorial again, and there isn’t call to mysql to get info of php-fusion system.. so it should only work with session login, which means you need to be logged in to access the chat..

    For getting the amount of users in a nice php-fusion implementation I’ve never thought about making something..

    I will check the code whenever I have some free spare time..
    regards.

31. No problem, To be honest I think it will be ok, I’ll make it so that the chat link only shows for already logged in users. It would be good if there was a way to list “users online in chat” in a small panel on the main site though. Ideally it would list the names of the users in there but even if it just listed the amount of users online that would be ok 🙂

    Once again many thanks! 🙂

32. Hey,

    Sorry to bug you, I don’t suppose you have had a chance to look into the code for online users yet have you? Sorry I know you’re probably very busy! 🙂

    Kaz

33. everything works
    My question is why can not I log in to chat?
    only to log on to the page I enter chat

34. hi,

    Maybe the version you are using is no longer compatible with this integration..

    But you can login in any page in your website and go to the chat a be logged in right?

    the only thing that doesn’t work is if you want to login using the form of flashchat, am i on the same page?
    Wrong tutorial, what’s the problem on hand?

    regards

35. Thanks for the tutorial. I implemented the Ajax Chat in the PHP-Fusion v. 7.02.05 with login by facebook or by proper PHP-Fusion. If anyone wants to see how it looks, can access http://mmorais.com . The chat will only be available to members of the site.
    Once again, thanks.

36. i keep getting the following error

    The maincore.php was not found.
    Please make sure the path is correct in your installation.

    I’ve tried every which way not sure what to put

    it would be for me
    http://www.xxxxxx.net/httpdocs/maincore.php
    I’m guess
    please please help

37. Hi,

    This integration is old, I don’t know if still works, what version are you using?,

    Also check the presence of maincore.php and try to require tru that path, and see if work..

    regards

38. Hi,

    I’m using php fusion 7.00.xx
    AjaxChat 0.8.3

    I’m still not 100% understanding what a should be putting in for the path, could you give me an example?

39. Hi,

    [php]<?php
    $maincore_path="/maincore.php"; // change your path here

    if(file_exists($_SERVER{‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’} . $maincore_path )){

    require_once(($_SERVER{‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’} . "/config.php"));
    define(‘DB_HOST’, $db_host);define(‘DB_USER’, $db_user);define(‘DB_PASS’, $db_pass);define(‘DB_NAME’, $db_name);
    require_once(($_SERVER{‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’} . $maincore_path));

    }else{
    exit("<span style=\"color:red;\">The maincore.php was not found.<br> Please make sure the path is correct in your installation.</span>");
    }
    // lets create our vars for login, username, userID
    if(defined(‘iUSER’))
    {
    $fusionUserName=$userdata[‘user_name’];

    $fusionUserId=$userdata[‘user_id’];
    }
    ?>[/php]
    You need to find your maincore document and require..

    the variable that hold this must be changed with the relative path to your file:
    $maincore_path = “/maincore.php”

    This tell the script to look for the file in your server root.. hope this helps.
