Is it possible to initialize a chat room in a CMS page, without using iframe?

[donshakespeare]

Okay the only way I have been able to get chat is via the mycms.com/chat/index.php, and then by using iframe to call it within another page.

Is there a way to initialize chat in say, mycms.com/index.php?id=34

Thanks

Are you familiar with using ajax with jquery and loading everything in a <div id="id goes here"></div> container?

example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="path to jquery">

<script type="text/javascript">

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(document).ready($){

function(){
 $.ajax({
 type: "GET",
 url: "url path to your script/chat (and you can use strings)",
 success: function(data){
 chat = data;

$("#load_chat").html(chat);

          }

      });

    };

 });

</script>

Then in your body you call for it to load in the <div id="load_chat"></div> container

That won't work unless you hard-code the chat script tags.

No JS will load in the page, and the CSS will all be screwed

You could try a shoutbox.

Good idea, just that I am not sure the shoutbox has full functionality.

I have even forgotten how to use the shoutbox...

...back to the drawing board

I found how to implement shoutbox http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=380417.0

Works flawlessly, that's how the main chat should be implemented...only that it gets its base url really messed up if you try to clone the original index.php and put the new file in a different folder

The method I mentioned I actually used one before loading the chat perfectly if you know what you are doing.

But whatever, as long as you get it working.

I was able to add functionality to my shoutbox by adding a the divs from Loggedin.html to the shoutbox.html files.

For anybody wondering, especially in a CMS, use the exact same code in the /chat/index.php

Now any file in any folder level can have the full chat displayed, no AJAX, no shoutbox, just pure full sweetness!

Make the AJAX_CHAT_PATH absolute

AND

In your loggedIn.html and loggedOut.html templates add an absolute base href.
If your site uses www, you must add it or else you will have origin problems

<base href="http://www.mysite.com/assets/chat/" />

// Suppress errors:

define('AJAX_CHAT_PATH', '/absolute/path/public_html/mysite/assets/chat/');

require(AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'lib/custom.php');

For perfect ease, put that code in a snippet, and dump it in any file you want

In MODx do:[[!chat]]

[donshakespeare]

For MODxers, use this snippet [[!chat]] - MODX_ASSETS_PATH is already defined for you
