Chat Gone Blank?

[D]

Hi,

I was editing my customAJAX chat file to add new commands. I get the white screen alot but I always seem to fix my errors but this white screen won't seem to go. 

Can you guys check my script to see if theres any errors. ( was editing near the bottom when it happened )

Thanks

P.S Im trying out the code input formatting, hopefully the code comes out right. :)

D,
I was able to add your new commands without getting any screen errors HOWEVER...
your /shark command is broken ;)

If the output you want is:
/shark spoonman
(10:35:43) ChatBot: user commands a shark to eat spoonman...press F to pay respects

then you need to remove the whitespace surrounding the ellipsis which is a a PHP parser token (apparently) http://php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php#functions.variable-arg-list.new

case '/shark':

        $this->insertChatBotMessage($this->getChannel(), $this->getLoginUserName().' commands a shark to eat '.implode(' ', array_slice($textParts, 1)).'...press F to pay respects');

Alternatively... if you wanted to keep the whitespace you need to wrap the text in double quotes so that the system prints out the ellipsis as regular text.

case '/shark':

        $this->insertChatBotMessage($this->getChannel(), $this->getLoginUserName().' commands a shark to eat '.implode(' ', array_slice($textParts, 1))." ... press F to pay respects");

Hi,

Thanks for the command fixes however The chat is still blank.

D,

It looks like the login page for your chat is the thing that isn't rendering.
Do you have a list of changes that you made?
Did you modify anything in lib/template/loggedOut.html?

It might be easier if you sent a zipped copy of your code (feel free to remove passwords).
Either that or we can discuss in my chat space

Hi,
I sent you a zipped copy recently. Hope to hear back soon. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Have you had a chance to look at the code yet?
