not 100% sure, as i you 2 column on most of site, but i bet if you look in the index file, under $params if you changed the array:

''sidebar' => elgg_view('chat_pfc/sidebar'),  to  'sidebar_alt' => elgg_view('chat_pfc/sidebar'),'

it would probably do it, would then have to add:

'priority' => 123  (where ever to priority is that you want)

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that and it removed my channel list from the sidebar, but failed to add it to sidebar_alt. I'm not sure how to add the priority setting in the code, as channel list doesnt appear in 3c settings. My sidebar_alt currently has no ordering settings applied, in case that was preventing it from appearing, but no luck. Any other ideas? Thanks, again.

give me some time, will set up 3 column on mine and see whats up......and you are using 1.8.3.2 not 1.8.8.2?

ok, i got it, not saying this is the right way, but it works 1st put this in your chat_pfc start file in the function chat_pfc_init{........

elgg_extend_view('page/elements/sidebar_alt', 'chat_pfc/sidebar');

}

2nd your chat_pfc index file:

$params = array(
    'content' => $content,
    'title' => $title,
        'sidebar_alt' => elgg_view('chat_pfc/sidebar'),
        'priority' => 710,
    'filter_override' => elgg_view('chat_pfc/nav', array('selected' => $vars['page'])),
);

then set your priorities in river_column_activity for the other modules anything about 710, like 720 and 730

Thank you so much! Worked great. Great plugin, thanks! Recommended.

Only one issue... it added it to sidebar_ alt on every page, not just chat_pfc. How would I correct that?

figured that was to easy.......

if (elgg_is_active_plugin('chat_pfc') && elgg_get_context() == 'chat_pfc'){

elgg_extend_view('page/elements/sidebar_alt', 'chat_pfc/sidebar');

}

???? maybe, if not will set mine back up and try again

i have no doubt there is a much easier way, but trying to learn how all this works and like messing around with the code.  will be interested to see what the easier way is

I tried it and it removed it from sidebar_alt completely. Then, I tried /rehash, but nope. Then I tried flushing/upgrade,clearing history and my css broke. Perhap I entered it wrong? My code looked as follows in start.php

function chat_pfc_init() {
//global $CONFIG;
elgg_extend_view('css/admin', 'chat_pfc/admin');

if (elgg_is_active_plugin('chat_pfc') && elgg_get_context() == 'chat_pfc'){

elgg_extend_view('page/elements/sidebar_alt', 'chat_pfc/sidebar');

}

elgg_register_page_handler('chat_pfc','chat_pfc_page_handler');

Thank you for all your help. It's greatly appreciated.

just had it working, let me set mine back up and send the complete function code

function chat_pfc_init() {
//global $CONFIG;
elgg_extend_view('css/admin', 'chat_pfc/admin');
elgg_register_page_handler('chat_pfc','chat_pfc_page_handler');
                
$item = new ElggMenuItem('chat_pfc', elgg_echo('chat_pfc'), 'chat_pfc');
elgg_register_menu_item('site', $item);

elgg_register_menu_item('topbar', array(
        'name' => 'chat_pfc',
        'href' => "chat_pfc/",
        'text' => elgg_view_icon('speech-bubble-alt'),
        'title' => elgg_echo('chat_pfc'),
        'priority' => 600,
));
if (elgg_is_active_plugin('chat_pfc') && elgg_get_context() == 'chat_pfc'){

elgg_extend_view('page/elements/sidebar_alt', 'chat_pfc/sidebar');

}



}

I had it above the page_handler, probably what broke the css. It isn't breaking the css now. But, it's still showing the channel list on each page even with the "if". I copied your code and replaced it. The only othe sidebar_alt modules that follow the user are online members and online friends. Perhaps it is registering as a similar module? I'm only guessing.

hmmmmmm. cause it is working on mine just as you want, did you clear your cache?

Yeah. No luck. Shows on every page, at the top of the ordering.

clueless then, works for me perfect....check it out:

vsc.dyndns.org/cwp/elgg-1.8.3

password: welcome

Yeah. I'm not sure, either. Looks perfect on your site. I'm confused as to what could be causing it on mine then. I will keep trying. Thanks for helping me get this far. Let me know if you think of anything.

I have seen on lots of websites this freephpchat they do not have any copyright URL.

My question is how I can remove that?

It can be removed by editing chat_pfc/vendors/phpfreechat/src/pfcglobalconfig.class.php on line 398 to  var $display_pfc_logo = false; as long as you follow the guidelines found at http://www.phpfreechat.net/license

@costakisc... I figured out my problem. I'm using the "pagehandler hijack" plugin to set a couple pagehandles, and chat_pfc was one of them. Adjusted to meet my pagehandle and "voila" it automagically worked. Thanks again for your help!

@Tommy  thank you so much for the reply, I changed that true to false and clear chache & run upgrade but still I can see the freephpchat URL is there in the chat :(

Please help

It has always worked for me. I would suggest clearing your browser caches, perhaps?

Or, you probably have to "/rehash".

phpFreeChat cannot be initialized, please correct these errors:

• 'title' parameter must be a charatere string
• 'theme' parameter must be a charatere string

i got this after install anyhelp would be nice

@GamersKinect

You have to edit the plugin settings first.

@costakisc

thank you for your timely helps... (I was on vacation)
