This is so far the best and easiest to install elgg chat plugin. Thanks webgalli.
The default configuration allows anonymous users to chat also, this can be removed by changing line 3 of views/default/chat/chat.php to
I'm going to see if I can find a way to make it list only online friends, as in my initial testing it shows all users online. If I'm successful I'll post it here.
I can not install it lacks the settings.php page!
@Matt - Thanks for the info on disabling annonymous people. Would also be interested in friends only showing.
how to install it? help please
Does anyone know which file has the powered by information that shows in the chat window?
Well done ellg need this kind of chat plugin .....recomended.
ça marche super !
@WebManiaItalia
It sure looks like you're yelling when you use a font this large. The only way to get your point across any louder would be TO USE ALL CAPS!! AND MAYBE MORE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!
Anyway, if you read the bundled installation instructions it tells you exactly how to install it. And because I'm nice I'm even going to tell you, change the path to that of your elgg settings.php
@Matt : You can allow or remove guest chat option just by go to Administration > Plugins > Chat > Settings and visit on the admin panel of chat. There are multiple configuration options. No modifications needed from elgg part.
@Webmania : Read the install info.txt or visit http://webgalli.com/blog/facebook-like-chat-for-elgg/
@Frank : We dont think the licence of Frei-Chat allows you to remove that "Powered by link".
@All : thanks for the compliment ;)
@Team Webgalli - Thanks for letting me know.
@Webgalli - I didn't notice that setting, you're right it does allow you to turn off the guest chat. The chat widget is still visible to guests though, so my modification can be useful for anyone who wants to hide it when not logged in.
I have found a major problem, and hopefully someone can confirm this for me (or let me know it's only on my instance), but it seems to completely disable the elgg lightbox functionality. I've tried using the "jQuery no conflict" setting but still getting the same results. Instead of content opening up in the lightbox the browser is redirect to the content page.
I noticed it while attempting to make it friends-only chat, my extendafriend plugin is installed and that's what tipped me off to what was going on. I disabled extendafriend to be sure, but it's preventing other uses of lightbox as well - such as the embed plugin.
I reverted all of my changes thinking it might have been something I did while working the changes, but I'm still getting broken lightbox with the original code.
@Matt : we thought, turning the guest option to no will hide the chat window. Thanks for reporting it. Your solution is the correct one for removing the chat window completely. We will add this as a plugin setting in the next release.
The conflict with the embed plugin was not noticed and thanks for reporting it back. But its not happening in our local development environment. Need to check it in production too.
Anyone know how to make it shows the peoples names instead of their login in the chat window? Also, the smileys section seems to be messed up a bit.
how can one show the real profile avatars for users instead of this default avatars???
Para quitar el "power by..." solo basta eliminar de la línea 27 del archivo \chat\vendors\freichat\client\freichat.js
<font size='1'>"+freidefines.pwdby+" <a href='http://www.evnix.com' target='_blank'>EvNix</a></font>
When plugins are active changes the way you see thetheme_facebook:
After:
When I click on install chat in the settings it sends me a 404 page not found.I checked in directory where it should be and it was there,Its just not picking up.
Working great!
@Frank : use the new version
@Antonio : remove the folder named "page" and whole its contents from mod\chat\views\default . This was some junk content accidently included and forgot to remove while zipped. Then do an upgrade
Gracias @Team Webgalli, pero a pesar de eliminar esa carpeta el problema persistie. Encontré que el archivo que modifica los css es
jquery-ui.custom.css
Que se encuentra en:
/vendors/freichat/client/jquery/js/css/ui-lightness/
Probé renombrarlo, y dejo de hacer ese efecto. Pero desconozco como puede influir en el resto del plugins.
Gracias por la respuesta, espero que se pueda solucionar de manera correcta.
Thanks @ Team Webgalli, but despite that folder delete the problem persisted. I found the css file is amending
jquery-ui.custom.css
Found at:
/ vendors / freichat / client / jquery / js / css / ui-lightness /
I tried renaming it, and failed to do that effect. But do not know how you can influence the rest of the plugins
Thanks for the reply, I hope you can solve correctly.
