PHPBB 3.1

[Frec]

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate AJAX chat into phpbb 3.1 (which is currently at RC-4 and almost gold).

I have seen the issue mentioned here also about phpbb disabled super globals ($_SERVER,$_REQUEST,$_POST,$_COOKIE).

I have followed phpbb guideline following this

https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/pull/296/files

http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=33432

https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/commit/0e6ac7511eeb795ea3236b304d697660ed9f7e43#diff-0

I have fixed those issue, I think.. (attached is my fix-version).

I could go into ajax chat page and it loads up fine but I got this message every a few seconds:

ChatBot: XXX has been logged out (Timeout).

ChatBot: XXX logs into the Chat.

I think I am almost there, just need a few more tweaks if someone could help me.

I saw frug is working on phpbb 3.1 integration when it is released but I am just trying to get integration as soon as phpbb 3.1 is released.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks!

[Frug]

It'd be easier if you made a github account and put the code up there. Or just post your changes, which should probably only affect CustomAJAXChat.php and not much else.

I'm guessing you're pulling in their $request object and reading it. I haven't worked with symfony much or phpbb3.1 but that ~should~ be enough. 

I'm sure if you ask on the area51 forums at phpbb.com they can advise you on what other steps you might need to take to ensure sessons aren't timing out on you.

Привет,

Я пытаюсь интегрировать AJAX прямо в PHPBB 3.1 (который в настоящее время RC-4 и почти золота).

Я видел этот вопрос упоминается здесь также о PHPBB инвалидами супер глобальные ($ _SERVER, $ _ REQUEST, $ _ POST, $ _ COOKIE).

Я следовал PHPBB руководство после этого

https://github.com/phpbb/ Phpbb / тянуть / 296 / файлы

http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/ viewtopic.php? F = 84 & T = 33432

https://github.com/phpbb/ Phpbb / фиксация / 0e6ac7511eeb795ea3236b304d6976 60ed9f7e43 # Diff-0

Я установил эти проблемы, я думаю .. (прилагается мой FIX-версия).

Я мог бы пойти в Ajax чат странице и загружает нормально, но я получил это сообщение каждые несколько секунд:

Бота : XXX был выполнен выход (тайм-аут).

Бота : XXX Журналы в чат.

Я думаю, что я почти нет, просто нужно несколько настроек, если кто-то может мне помочь.

Я видел Фруг работает на PHPBB 3,1 интеграции, когда он будет выпущен, но я просто пытаюсь получить интеграцию как только Phpbb 3,1 освобождены.

Любая помощь будет оценена. спасибо!

I've installed your version on my test phpBB version and can confirm the session issue. I'm actively trying to help with it.

So far checking your code yielded what I think are 2 mistakes in ajaxchat.php (Lines 2951 & 2952) but amending these does not make any difference to the session problem, but I will list them here ...

                        ($request->is_set('HTTP_HOST', \phpbb\request\request_interface::SERVER) ? $request->server('HTTP_HOST') : ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].
                        ($request->is_set('HTTPS', \phpbb\request\request_interface::SERVER) && $$request->server('SERVER_PORT') == 443 || $request->server('SERVER_PORT') == 80 ? '' : ':'.$request->server('SERVER_PORT')))).

which I believe should be ...

                        ($request->is_set('HTTP_HOST', \phpbb\request\request_interface::SERVER) ? $request->server('HTTP_HOST') : ($request->server('SERVER_NAME').
                        ($request->is_set('HTTPS', \phpbb\request\request_interface::SERVER) && $request->server('SERVER_PORT') == 443 || $request->server('SERVER_PORT') == 80 ? '' : ':'.$request->server('SERVER_PORT')))).

will keep looking :)

That link takes me to Frec 's ajaxchat download that I've installed on my phpBB 3.1 forum.

It allows you to login yes but the session keeps timing members out and straight back in as the OP pointed out. I then spotted 2 typos in Frec 's  ajaxchat,php script which I corrected.

[Bobby Russ]

Mark, did you have any luck fixing this?  I'm at the same point as you now.

[Mark Holliday]

Unfortunately not Bobby.

I think this has something to do with the symphony setup of the new phpBB 3.1 causing issues with the session. I'm now hoping Frug comes up with something.

Frug, is there a timeline on when a version for PHPBB 3.1 might be released?

The current issues that I am having:

1) Constant Session Timeouts.  (Temporary Fix: Disable the Timeout setting.  It slows the chat and still allows it to work
2) Quotes, < and > are being converted to HTML code, but not reverted back when displayed to users.
 

[Frug]

I've just fixed 0.8.8 for mybb and standalone, so I'll start looking at this. My own forum is still 3.0 so I haven't had a chance to update and start bugtesting it. I'm surprised chat would work at all with 3.1

You ~could~ just use a standalone version of chat for your forum until I can patch this up. Just tell it to use the same databases you're using now and allow everyone to be guests. Obviously that's not ideal.

Symfony is great and the changes in 3.1 should be good for chat in the long run. I don't have an ETA. Two weeks maybe? Don't hold me to that.

[Bobby Russ]

Thank you. Reading over the improvements in .8.8 it looks like it'll be well worth the wait.  I appreciate your hard work on keeping this software running.

We have been able to successfully integrate the chat into phpbb 3.1. Here's where we're at:  http://manhood101.com/forum/chat/

We are trying to put the chat into an iframe at the bottom of our forum but there's something wrong with the width sizing. We are also trying to get the chatbot up and running. That is our last step.

Also there's a weird issue that popped up... I'm trying to type "&" but it comes out as "&amp;" in the chatroom.

[Censorship 4Kids]

may have figured out part of the problem... in the js folder in the file chat.js at around line 1463 there is some encode/decode functions

right now:

" renders as  &quot;
< renders as &lt;
> renders as &gt;
& renders as &amp;

if we can figure out how to get this to properly render, that might also affect the chatbot since a lot of the code has those symbols.

[Franz Graf]

Hi,

thanks for working on that!

the Chat is cruical for upgrading my Forum.

thanks!

Franz

[Censorship 4Kids]

We have been able to successfully integrate the chat into phpbb 3.1 all that's left is the height adjustment: http://manhood101.com/forum/chat/

Other than that. everything seems to work, even chatbot!

[Brad Matosky]

What's the workaround for the constant session timeouts?

[Max KLM]

Please give to us edited files of chat.

I have it working here, http://forum.nova-x.co.uk/chat

I just turned off the chat logging for the timeout issue for now

[Bobby Russ]

I meant without the session issues.  It bogs down server and makes logs almost useless.  Is a major issue.

[Storm Kyleis]

Any news on this? I want to update to 3.1 and I'd like to keep Ajax Chat, it's perfect for us.

I haven't gotten any response from his email. Any one had any luck?

Any update? Currently using phpBB 3.1.8 and have your 0.8.7 fix

I have a working fix for this now up on github. I need some people to test it for me. I've fixed two issues in phpbb3.1. The first is that it was not properly using the forum connection, which meant that you had to add your database username/password into config.php to make it work. That should not be necessary. You should leave database username/pw and all the other dbConnection fields as null in your config.php

The second is obviously this stupid superglobal thing.

Download it as a zip here: https://github.com/Frug/AJAX-Chat/archive/phpbb3.1.zip

Or see the changes I made here and apply them yourself: https://github.com/Frug/AJAX-Chat/pull/230/files

Let me know how that goes.

[No No]

I have it installed. I was able to use Install.php to get the SQL tables installed. On index.php I went straight to the chatroom and can see channels populated however when sending messages they cannot be seen.

Logout doesn't work and the Online Users doesn't show anyone.
I am user Admin and I can see [Admin] in the channels list.

[Frug]

For online users to work requires you to edit phpbb's functions.php and add them to that list, which isn't something I'm worried about yet. If you were able to run the installer and it logged you straight in, it means the integration is working.

I haven't changed how sending/viewing messages works so I suspect that's an unrelated problem. Did you previously have an older version of chat working? The standalone maybe?

Try clearing your browser cache and reloading the page.  Make sure your computer's clock is correct. 

If that doesn't work, you can see if javascript is crashing. In chrome, right click on the page and go to inspect. Click the 'console' tab and see if anything appears in there. Try sending some messages and seeing if the console spits out errors.

[No No]

I use FireFox mainly so I used Internet Explorer to test this this time.

 

Loading the chat I was confronted with a login screen. I entered my user information and was sent to ucp.php?mode=login and once I logged in I was sent back to chat/index.php so I could chat.

 

I DID have an older version installed. I used the standalone and phpbb3 versions to attempt to get it working. I failed with phpbb3 cause Im stupid and got closer using the standalone which eventually I went back to the phpbb3 integration version. I got close to working on each one. After I give up and asked for help I had deleted the files,removed the sql tables, and reverted any edits I made to the phpbb files.

 

My computers clock is fine.

 

Back in Firefox, I am not sure what to type to see if java is crashing.

[Frug]

If it works in ie just clear your cache in firefox and it will work there too.

[No No]

It doesn't work in IE. I only used it this time so I didnt have to clear firefox cache.

[Frug]

I see. If you haven't ever gotten chat working, even with standalone, I don't think this is a good thread to discuss your problems. you'll need to ask help for why you're unable to use chat. Usually this sort of thing comes down the using a free host, or having cookie problems.

[No No]

It did work in standalone but I deleted it cause I wanted the integrated version.
I currently have the integrated version you posted to me originally with the fixes which installed the sql tables and isn't throwing errors but are having issues with it like not being able to log out and sending chat messages so I am willing to test what ever patches you send me

[Bobby Russ]

I have a previous version that was working, but when I upgraded to PHPBB 3.1, it broke.  When trying to use the new download from Frug, it seems that the login information isn't being properly transmitted from and to PHPBB.  The reason I say this is that no matter what I put in, it says "you have specified an incorrect username.  Please check your username and try again.  After I put in my correct info, it redirects and brings you to a traditional AJAX Chat room, but without the Online users populated and the logout button does not appear to be working.  I have a version that is partially working for PHPBB 3.1, but the issues in this thread exist in it.

I'm happy to test any thing or Frug, if you need a forum account with my system, I can create it for you as well.

[No No]

This is the exact issue that I have.

[Fabian Wilson]

Questions:

1.Are you using free hosting?

2.Did you set the connection details in config.php ("I believe these are supposed to be left null")

3.What happens when you try and enter a message does anything appear?

--

[No No]

1. No.
2. No, this is the integrated version.
3. I can enter a msg and when pressing enter or send/submit, nothing shows in the chat window.

[Fabian Wilson]

Have you tried running the install.php file again?

[No No]

Yes. I ran it once when installing the patched version Frug posted to me asking for testers and then another time later on. I know how to drop/include the SQL tables so I could do that as well.

This user here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ajax-chat/8G9J396SuY0/7u-u0owTCAAJ
is also having the same issue I am facing.

[Fabian Wilson]

I just updated to phpbb 3.1.8 and then I just replaced the chat folder with the new one and it works for me.

Are you talking about the "new" one from here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ajax-chat/8G9J396SuY0/GyFfMG9mBwAJ

[Fabian Wilson]

Yes.

[No No]

Strange. I just made a new phpbb install using another SQL DB and placed chat in ./phpBB3/chat and installed the sql tables using the install.php which was successful but when loading chat i now have ChatBot: Error: Connection status: 403.

[No No]

I wiped everything and started from scratch. I mean EVERYTHING is gone but that doesn't matter cause I saved the SQL of my php forums. Chat now works. I WONDER what was wrong..

Can you tell me what the permissions are suppose to be for the folders/files in the Ajax chat folder?

EDIT 1:
DAMN IT. I got it working and was sending test messages. THEN is suddenly gives me 500 error and hasn't worked since.

EDIT2:
Okay this is weird.
Integrated chat: http://107.181.152.215/phpBB/chat/
Standalone chat: http://107.181.152.215/phpBB/chatalone/

As I said it started throwing 500 errors. I checked my apache error log and it said something about not being able to access config.php so i fixed that and then the integrated chat went down as it was when i started asking questions.
So I uploaded the standalone and have it using the same SQL info as my php forums and its working. IDK whats up.

[Bobby Russ]

I did the upgrade to PHPBB 3.1.8 (from 3.1.7pl1) and uploaded it up.  It worked.  So, that's part of the key.  You must have PHPBB 3.1.8.  I'll add my additions sometime in the next few days and have my web site users test it to see if they find anything.  I'll update if there are any changes.

Upgrading from an older version of phpbb shouldn't be a step in getting ajax chat to work correctly. As I said in a previous post, the ajax chat standalone is working just fine using the phhbb installations sql database (that has the sql tables from ajax chat.)

[Fabian Wilson]

It is not a step to get the chat working but only if you are installing the latest version of chat. The newer version supports PHPBB 3.1.8. Otherwise you are stuck on an older version.

[No No]

Good. I have phpBB 3.1.8.

[No No]

Okay, here are some screen shots. I just deleted phpbb and the Ajax chat software and restarted again.

phpbb3 ACP showing version: http://i.imgur.com/sqyCYz4.png

Standalone AJAX Chat working: http://i.imgur.com/KY7Wnww.png

Integrated AJAX Chat working: http://i.imgur.com/EFOdlbc.png

phpmyadmin showing phpbb and ajax chat tables: http://i.imgur.com/vndJ3mF.png

I changed their chat names to reflect what folder/version they are running. Both are functioning off the same phpbb3 ajaxchat install tables.

Okay. It stopped working again, phpbb and the integrated chat.
My problem isnt the chat but permissions and groups on my box I believe.
I was getting 500 errors so I set owner of config.php group to www-data and phpbb started working again. this is getting frustrating.

[No No]

ALRIGHT I see what is going on. I wiped everything, fixed user/group permissions so everything was www-data from the start and everything was working hunky doory. UNTIL I ran this: sudo a2enmod rewrite
That was ran so I could get Board3 Portal to function correctly which allows for www.domain.com/portal to show a portal page for the forums. I think my problems had something to do with mod rewrite. Anyways, the integrated is back to not working while standalone is fine. :/


[Bobby Russ]

I've returned from my camping trip to try to continue work... and hmmm... Something not quite right.

So, when it tries to login, I get redirected to: /forums/ucp.php?mode=login with the error message:

"You have specified an incorrect username. Please check your username and try again."

If I use the exact same username and password, PHPBB validates the Session and redirects to the correct directory, but not allow you to type *OR* see anything on the Valid Users.  (Possibly a session issue?)

I have tried uploading a fresh copy of the download, used the Forums DB/Username/Password settings in config.php.  Any ideas?

Prior to PHPBB3.1, yes.  I thought I had a working version of what Frug offered as the fix, but am stuck again with the error message I provided above.

Ah. See I was able to get the FRUG 3.1 fix integrated version working ONLY on a fresh install of my linux vps and without any extensions to my phpbb.
For now I am using the standalone which works just fine.

I have noticed that when I enable/disable the BOARD3 PORTAL extension that the integrated chat starts/stops working.
You can see in this video: http://107.181.152.215/example.webm
what I am talking about.

[5thAvenueForum]

I have the same problem. 

[Bobby Russ]

Any idea why it would say this:

You have specified an incorrect username. Please check your username and try again. If you continue to have problems please contact the Board Administrator

Even when the username/password is correct and I can reenter the same one and it redirects.  Leads me to believe the variables aren't passing correctly.

[No No]

Frug. Any recently releases? There are users that are having issues with selective functioning chats where logout doesnt work, user list don't display, messages do not show or send. I have noticed the clearing cache or dis-enabling extensions will effect the chat where it temporarily works.
