webchat in a Coppermine templated page

[Tranz]

I am posting this on behalf of Yancho, who started a thread about webchat integration. He posted his code here due to trouble posting in our forums. I've modified yancho's instructions to simplify.


1 - Create a file chat.php and add the code below.
2. Remember to change $page and $nick for your network (I would be happy to host any coppermine gallery channels on my network - PM to help u) [Yancho's profile for PM]

Code Select Expand


<?php
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');

pageheader('Web Chat');

//start of webchat code

$page= (isset($_REQUEST['page']))? $_REQUEST['page']: "webchat.php";
$nick= (isset($_REQUEST['nick']))? $_REQUEST['nick']: "Yancho";
if ($page != "chat") $page = "";
$nick = str_replace(" ", "_", $nick);// replaces spaces on nicknames
$nick = ereg_replace("^[0-9]*[0-9]", "", $nick);// deletes numbers on the beginning of nicknames
$nick = str_replace("ä", "ae", $nick);
$nick = str_replace("ö", "oe", $nick);
$nick = str_replace("ü", "ue", $nick);
$self = getenv("PHP_SELF");

@Yancho: Could you please clarify what network info needs to be edited?

@all: I ended up modifying the code a bit, including removing the body tag. The loss there is the input field is no longer automatically selected. But I figured it was better to clean up the code since the body tag already exists in the Coppermine template. If you want to keep that functionality, you can refer to Yancho's original code and use the body tag.

Can I add my own network to this chat?

[olti]

Nevermind, I get it. Remember to change $page and $nick for your network

Please delete my posts here!!

[Tranz]

Based on a PM I received, there seems to be some confusion in this thread. I posted the content in the first post on behalf of Yancho. My only involvement was the code changes I posted. I am NOT hosting chat channels myself.

I hope that clarifies. Sorry for any confusion.

Does anyone have a demo for this? so that we could see it live in action.

I'm new to copper mine system but so far I doing a lot to make my Coppermine system on my website be more advanced by adding mods or plugins. 

Thank in advance.

Anand N.
