Make sure you chmod 777 the bp-chat/config directory.
It needs to make two config files.

I had to do the same thing…wish there was a better way…

Ok, I’m looking at making an admin/settings page. I can add it in there.

Thanks,

Hi,

Do you mean have the full blown chat pop out in to a new window?
I could do that too.

Should this be a configurable option of the user or admin?

In the bp-chat.php file, right after the last get_usermeta ….. chat_hide
call just put $chat_hide = ‘false’;

Example:

function addChatShoutbox()
{
	global $bp;

	$current_url = site_url() . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	$this_chat_url = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->chat->slug;

	if ((isset( $_REQUEST['close'] )) && ($_REQUEST['close'] == 'yes') )
	{
		#Enable showing chat for this session only
		update_usermeta( (int)$bp->loggedin_user->id, 'chat_hide', attribute_escape("true") );
	}

	if ((isset( $_REQUEST['close'] )) && ($_REQUEST['close'] == 'no') )
	{
		#Disable showing chat for this session only
		update_usermeta( (int)$bp->loggedin_user->id, 'chat_hide', attribute_escape("false") );
	}
	$chat_hide = "true";
	if ( get_usermeta( (int)$bp->loggedin_user->id, 'chat_hide') != "" )
	{
		$chat_hide = get_usermeta( (int)$bp->loggedin_user->id, 'chat_hide');
	}
        $chat_hide = "false";

Hi,

I’ve honestly never tried it. But in theory it should work as the tables in BP are the same. If you try it please let me know?

Thanks,
Dave

I just updated it. AND it is way easier to install now:)

Enjoy,
Dave

Yes, version 1.1.7 is compatible with bp version 1.2. Also no more header and mysql issues as it is a simple install…no more configuration needed!!! ??

I can’t recall if I did a cookie or an option. But it should recall what you set it to be when you log in. This is the behavior in version 1.1.7.

Please share a link of what you did. I like cool things too, lol:)

Hi,

Twire and Cpanel setups don’t work together. Cpanel doesn’t allow the curl post to go out:(

Hi,

I just added localization to the shoutbox. So if I take that a step further I might be able to do the same for groups. Want to test it?

Hi,

Can you tell me more about what’s broken? I’m just learning about the localization in Buddypress. Please tell me the issue and I’ll try to fix it for you:)

Thanks,
Dave
