PhpFreeChat

From FUDforum Wiki

This article describes how phpFreeChat can be integrated into a FUDforum site. The code below will automatically set the phpFreeChat nickname to your FUDforum userid.

[edit] phpFreeChat changes

You have to put this piece of code at beginning of your phpFreeChat chat script (index.php):

require_once("../forum/GLOBALS.php");
fud_use('db.inc');
fud_use('cookies.inc');
$fuduser = ses_get();
if ($fuduser->alias == $ANON_NICK)
      $fuduser->alias = 'guest'.rand(1,1000); // generate random nick for guest

Then you can replace the classic phpFreeChat parameter list (same file, top) using $fuduser->alias as the phpfreechat nickname. For example:

require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params["serverid"]             = md5(__FILE__);
$params["title"]                = "FUDforum chat";
$params["channels"]             = array("FUDforum support", "General chitchat");
$params["language"]             = "en_US";
$params["nick"]                 = $fuduser->alias;
$params["start_minimized"]      = true;
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );
