If you'd like your chat users to use their display name (the one the user chooses in their settings, and is changeable)

in /chat/pfc/index.php

line 25:

$params['nick'] = $_SESSION['user']->username;  // setup the intitial nickname

may be changed to

$params['nick'] = $_SESSION['user']->name;  // setup the intitial nickname

this can be especially useful for walledgarden sites who wish to allow chat between members without access to eachother's usernames/profiles.

When i write a comment it show in the chat 5 seconds later!!!

@lina nguyen

I had a similar problem when I updated my site.  I changed the root directory name and that may have confused chat.  I disabled chat, erased all the chat files and reinstalled it and it worked.  That is a bit extreme, but I think all you need to do is clear the chat cache.  Read the INSTALL file in the mod/chat folder and it explains how to do it.

@nicolas

You should set the "Default chatrooms" to something in the chat settings.  I have mine set to "public".  That room is where everyone starts out.  If someone joins the chat, you can click on their name for a private chat.

how i am supposed to remove chat logs permanently......?

/clear and /rehash don't work....

Please can Some one help adjust this chat script to enable users' profile pictu in the chat room and beside user's comments in the chat room

hi

thanks for the great plugin.  how do i mkae it show user display names instead of usernames?

regards

@Stumpy

The first comment on this page explains how to show the display names.

@trackhed

I think there is a problem with changing the params['nick'] to name instead of username.  On my test site, one of my users was not listed on the right hand column and I was getting errors in the apache2 log until I changed it back and removed the history.  I think the code uses the username for some operations.

@ Stumpy

It may cause problems to make trackhed's suggested change.

Hi,

everytime I try to enable your chat plugin in the tool admin site it says:

this is a misconfigured plugin...

What can I do about that?

Can chats/ posts be deleted by admin? If so how?

Can someone tell me how to extend the timeout time for the useres.  Many of my users are more lurkers than chatters.  They get timed out after just a few minutes without activity.  I have changed the timeout and extended the hour in the core.  But this does not seem to extend the chat timeout.

@Jck2000 | CaptnBob | Pavithra :-

Please allow me the "luxury' of taking $time away from other more important $issues such as paying for my $rent and $groceries. while I meander around the PlugIns' code to fugure out what code changes can be done to give you your freebie $0 features...;- P

--- Kind Regards

Hi any one can share how can i clear my chat history ....

chat looks good, however it would be great if we could have a facebook type version of chat just above the browser status bar, this way a user wont have to leave the main default page where all the cool stuff is like the wire, activity, twitter etc

cheers!

I want to add a trivia bot to phpfreechat. The code is on phpfreechat forum I do not know how to add it.

It is possible?

Thanks

how can i change the height of the chat ???

How do I clear the chat log in the MySQL 'elgg_phpfreechat' Database without going into PHPMyadmin to empty the tables?

Thank you,

Lee.

I'm having problem. It says: Missing parameter (/join {channelname})

Have you set a default room in the settings options?

Is this the best chat plugin for elgg?
