I bought Cometchat the other day but I can't seem to get it to work on my phpnuke site. Has anyone out there been able to get it working?

The instructions are fairly simple and straight forward.

If you still have issues... I might be able to help you. (Have installed it on my web email client)

*** NOTE *** If you plan on having HEAVY traffic using it... make sure to set a cron job to clear the messages at an interval or your database with become massive with messages. Just an FYI

killing-hours can you please post the integration.php?

I have version 3.0.1.

I think I got mixed up very badly..

does we use session or cookie?

may I upload cometchat to modules/Chat? or it has to be /comechat?

this is my integration.php as it now:

No... cometchat needs to reside in the "ROOT" directory (i.e. public_html) I tried putting it in the modules directory as well... but it messes up the internal linking of cometchat.

prekill wrote:

I forget what version my cometchat is... but I believe it's older than yours. Also, I had to modify some parts of it to work with my mail client so it's not a good idea to use mine anyhow. Use the integration.php that came with the package.

prekill wrote:

I would use session if possible because it will load them into the bar instantly. If you use the cookie method (which had to do on my email client)... what happens is the "FIRST" time someone logs in... it will not log them into the bar. They would have to refresh the page to show up in the chat bar.

You need the "standalone" version of cometchat. No need to convert it at that point... just the necessary columns to the database.

Also, the version you provided (1.60) is highly outdated. According to their site... they are in version "3" and don't show support for dragonfly anywhere in the documentation.

I know, I bought version 3.0.1 but I need in integration.php to define the following functions:

getUserID()
getFriendsList()
getLink($link)

and I have no idea how to rewrite those to work with ravenuke login.

now I can see the bar but everyone see the same bar with the same userid.

The file for dragonfly have those functions set right but its not working, something needs to be different.

any help with those maybe?

should I include a file? mainfile.php maybe? cookiecheck.php under youraccount?

Thanks Smile

Thank you my friend, I will stay tuned.

I am also interested in buying cometchat and would be very interested in getting this working with Ravennuke.

Please share if you get this working

Thanks Kenno

killing-hours · Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 9:32 am

Don't worry... I've finally setup a dev server at my home so I can toy with things as well as developing for RN. The first thing I'm doing is writing up step by step instructions on how to install cometchat to work with our favorite CMS.

Bout half way through it now so just hang with me. Smile

kenno · Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 4:53 pm

Thats great news

Thank you for doing this, I will purchase the software now I think Very Happy

ok... I've semi-built and semi-tested an ad-hoc bridge for cometchat but here's the catch... if you want to use the "friends list" function (i.e. only showing friends of friends instead of everyone who is logged in to everyone) it requires you to setup your database differently and manually edit the database per the instructions on cometchat website.

Here's my warning... if you are wanting to use the friends list functionality... you're going to be making LOTS of manual changes to the database in order to establish the FRIEND ---> FRIEND connections. This can be overcome though... with an added backend GUI in Ravennuke so that you can point and click. (this however, is further than I'm willing to go free of charge)

The getlink() function gets to the FORUMS profile exactly like the site info block does. I'm not keen on doing this because it ties cometchat directly to the forums. I'm not big on making (A) reliant on (B).

The getAvatar() function needs to be re-written to use RN avatars (or a totally seperate avatar directory)... however, I'm not willing to do this one free of charge either because (A) I don't know what size the avatar should be (B) I don't know how this function works yet (C) I just don't have the time to figure it all out, write the new function & test it all.

So I ask you two... how do you plan on using this on your websites?

As it stands now... cometchat works as EVERYONE to EVERYONE with support for links (forum user profiles) & no support for avatars (user images).

All of this is based on RN 2.40.01 & cometchat 2.0.4 (that is the version I have) The intergration should be about the same anyhow.

Will it work even for version 3.01?

in version 3.01 what they did is simple, they have integration.php which needs to include all those functions.

Well.. i'm ready to give it a shoot with everyone to everyone and see how it goes..

umm I think forum profile is better, this is what I use actually..

Sounds good Smile

It's basically the same setup (integration.php). Version 2.0.4 has the same functions as part of the integration.

I'll write up the steps either later today or tomorrow. And just an FYI... I believe the version you posted is for Social Engine if I'm not mistaken.

ok... I've semi-built and semi-tested an ad-hoc bridge for cometchat but here's the catch... if you want to use the "friends list" function (i.e. only showing friends of friends instead of everyone who is logged in to everyone) it requires you to setup your database differently and manually edit the database per the instructions on cometchat website.

Wow!!!

This is brilliant mate, again thank you for taking your valuable time up on completing this.

I am fine with the lack of avatar function, but would of been interested in the friends --- to friends ability.
What do you mean by this part

how and where would the end users add and choose the other users they are to be friends with ?
Out of interest how much would you be wanting to implement this feature ?

I am in the future thinking of using either phpbb3 stand alone with a bridge, or maybe the module that I have heard trickedoutnews are maybe going to work on, I believe phpbb3 has a friends and foes feature built in, would that effect this, or maybe be able to work better with this ?
As if it works better then I will wait and maybe ask and pay you to make the changes then if you wanted to take that on that is?

Again thank you for doing this, and I look forward to the install guide.

Thanks Kenno

The reason for this is because of the way CometChat implements the friends list feature. In order for it to work... a table has to be setup on the database and a two way link must be established within that table between the two users.

Quote:

Update Who’s Online list fetching mechanism

We modify the getFriendsList() function.

The getFriendsList() function returns all the users’ details part of the Who’s Online list. This list need not necessarily be friends of the logged in user. It may simply be all online users instead. You can customize this to return any set of users.

The default configuration assumes that you have a table called friends with the following fields:

toid integer
fromid integer

All entries are assumed to be two-way i.e. if user A (id:1) and user B (id:2) are friends, then there will be two entries in the table:

----------------------------
id toid fromid
----------------------------
13 1 2
14 2 1
----------------------------

So in order to make these changes to the database... (A) The user would need some sort of access to the database in order to assign/remove their friends (B) An entire system must be designed to keep user X from altering users Y's list etc etc etc. It just becomes a huge headache unless the admin will become the sole arbiter between the users at which point the headache is passed to the admin.

As far as the phpbb3 stuff... I don't know because I don't fool with forums nor run any. That is beyond the scope of my understanding.

Right I see what you mean now, yes that would become a head ache and I would not wish to be the admin who takes on the responsibility of adding on request friends.

It would of been a nice feature but I can see it would require a lot of work from scratch implementing and getting this to work.

I am sure in the phpbb3 forum profile area they have a friend and foe section where users can choose there friends so in essence that area you talked about where users would need an area with access to the database to make these choices might be already built in phpbb3.

**Edit**

Infact look here, cometchat comes with a prebuilt integration for phpbb3 and says can use the friends feature of that, so I guess that answers my question.

Very well could be. I don't know anything about phpbb so I can't say with confidence. If it already has a friends list type thing built in... why use CometChat???

I edited my post above
I am not sure what the friends list is for in phpbb3, but it does not come with a chat feature like CometChat

killing-hours · Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2011 1:38 pm

Yes...when you get CometChat... make sure to get the phpbb3 version and you won't need this tutorial to set it up. It's already pre-configured to work with phpbb3. The tutorial I'm writing only covers using CometChat with Ravennuke CMS.
