Ajaxed Chat Plugin for bbPress!
I am glad to announce my fourth plugin for bbPress called Ajaxed Chat. Ajaxed Chat adds a fast, customizable, multi-language Chat Room to your Forums and uses a simple file-system/mysql storage for messages and nicknames. The plugin uses PHPFreeChat Script as a base script to generate a chat room. It uses AJAX to smoothly refresh and display the chat zone and the nickname zone. It supports multiple rooms (`/join`), private messages, moderation (`/kick`, `/ban`) and many more commands!
Download: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ajaxed-chat/
Usage
You can insert the chat box anywhere in your forums by adding this code in your template files:
php if (function_exists('ajaxed_chat_load')) ajaxed_chat_load(); ?>
You can also view full screen chat by going to http://example.com/?chat where example.com is your forum link.

Very nice however I would much prefer a Ajaxed shoutbox
But thats just me 
Gautam 10:17 pm on October 1, 2009 Permalink |
@Jason
But that exactly the same thing, shoutbox or chat box.
Robert 2:28 am on October 16, 2009 Permalink |
I give up
I installed the plugin, ran http://example.com/?chat and it just sits there stating the chat is loading
I then ran the http://example.com/my-plugins/chat.php (received server error)
Next, http://example.com/my-plugins/chat/index.php a creen appeared and said “guest”
I then threw into the default site template, and once the site loaded the first result appeared and I lost the forum
Help, please
Gautam 6:50 pm on October 16, 2009 Permalink |
@Robert
Please keep the plugin’s directory name as ajaxed-chat
So, the URL should be something like: http://example.com/my-plugins/ajaxed-chat/(Other files here)
If the problem persists, then please contact me.
Rodrigo 12:29 am on October 17, 2009 Permalink |
Hey Gautam nice plugin! I was wondering if you could help me with one little problem I’m having.
When ever I put the code in my front page, this warning shows up – Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /nfs/c05/h01/mnt/71232/domains/vgxnetwork.com/html/forums/my-templates/vgrevo-kakumei/header.php:11) in /nfs/c05/h01/mnt/71232/domains/vgxnetwork.com/html/forums/my-plugins/ajaxed-chat/chat/src/pfcuserconfig.class.php on line 25
I’m running the current default theme and your plug in with all the instructions.
anything I can do?

@Rodrigo
Thanks for reporting, I will look into the issue.
Gautam 4:58 pm on October 19, 2009 Permalink |
@Rodrigo
Please check if your theme’s header.php has something like session_start() on line 11.
If it is there, then please remove it and then check.
Rodrigo 12:53 pm on October 20, 2009 Permalink |
Check, but there is no session_start() on line 11 or on the whole heather.php
this is mostly what the consists of:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="” type=”text/css” />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="” type=”text/css” />
Anything else I could check for?
Gautam 5:53 pm on October 20, 2009 Permalink |
Can you tell me what is there on line 11?
Rodrigo 12:17 pm on October 29, 2009 Permalink
“<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> “
Rodrigo 12:19 pm on October 29, 2009 Permalink
it wont let me place the php which follows the w3 link. php bb_language_ attributes 1.1
Gautam 5:13 pm on October 31, 2009 Permalink
Try deactivating other plugins, those maybe causing problems.
Rodrigo 5:30 am on November 11, 2009 Permalink
Here is the code – http://dl.dropbox.com/u/774884/screen-capture-5.jpg
hopefully that helps.

Hello from Russia!
Can I quote a post in your blog with the link to you?

@Polrav
Yes, sure!
AJ 2:27 am on November 2, 2009 Permalink |
I am getting same problem as rodrigo
Can anyone help me out?
Soifone 6:35 pm on December 8, 2009 Permalink |
Hi Gautam,
Im having the same problem as Robert. After embeding it always stucks at: “Chat loading…”. I checked the path (my-plugins/ajaxed-chat) etc.
Any idea?
thx
Gautam 2:21 pm on December 11, 2009 Permalink |
That it is because the plugin needs to load the javascript files. In newer version, I will try to make it load the javascripts after the page has been loaded.
