stankovski Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Live Customer Support Module ---------------------------- By: Denis Stankovski Date: 01/07/2003 osC Ver: 2.2 from July, 2003 This is a FREE module would allow you to have a live-chat support on your web site. It uses MySQL database, PHP, ICQ (for notifications), and JavaScript. This module was developed by me independantly from osC. To see it work go to http://www.harmoniouslifestyles.com. I would appreciate if somebody could help me with debugging and optimizing this module.

Guest Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Is there a notice that says no one is available? And how does it work? Ie, my OSC is hosted on a server, and I sit at home behind a firewall. I see that it used ICQ though... Also, does it notify if the operator is offline? "Live Support Offline, Leave an Email" Does it actually use ICQ as the chat interface on my end? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Sean try it mate! You have a lot of questions, so best bet is, go try it. If it doesnt do all you want it to, then build on this mod and see if you can build a better one that fills the wholes. CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Live Support Offline, Leave an Email"Does it actually use ICQ as the chat interface on my end? Thanks Hey Sean, There are 2 ways to do it. You can either use ICQ indicator (like I do) to show your status, or you can use "Login" / "Logoff" buttons inside the admin window. If you'll use the second option, you'll be able to check your status from the database "SELECT status FROM chat_user WHERE id = 1" (user 1 is you). This way you'll be able to customize your status indicator, and, if needed, to send users to leave a message. I hope I was clear. If you've got more questions, let me know.

stankovski Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 If you refer to the old contribution of osC I have no idea where you can get it..., but since my chat was developed totaly independant from osC you can install it under any contribution.

ukracer Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 any one else using this contribution from denis. ? I had it slightly working now I am getting Warning: Access denied for user: 'dcracing_andy@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/dcracing/public_html/userchatadmin/login.php on line 16 I have sorted the above error . for some reason the user had been deleted from mysql. BUT I still get no boxes to type any messages into! I also get a blinking effect and it sort of takes over the rest of the browser windows. Can you give me a few more detailed instructions on getting an input box up etc?? but I was never able to see anything in the catalog pages though?? any advise appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sefu Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Im having a prob with the database. When I try to connect is says connection successful but right after it says query failed on the same screen. I did some work and found that the script has successfully connected to the database but it could not change the status of from offline to online. I changed a SQL line in admin/connect.php from chat_user to just user. What happens after I done this was it come up with successful connection and flashed to a new screen saying query failed. The database record did change from offline to online. I figure there is a problem when the connect.php script redirects to login.php maybe theres a simple fix? what should we be naming the database? I named it chat and the server renamed it username_chat, is this okay? Please help, I would love to have this script on my store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tails2k Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 What you need to do is open your chat.sql that was provided and change CREATE TABLE user ( to CREATE TABLE chat_user ( and INSERT INTO user VALUES (1, 'Administrator', '', NULL, 'Offline'); to INSERT INTO chat_user VALUES (1, 'Administrator', '', NULL, 'Offline'); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukracer Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 What you need to do is open your chat.sql that was provided and change CREATE TABLE user ( to CREATE TABLE chat_user ( and INSERT INTO user VALUES (1, 'Administrator', '', NULL, 'Offline'); to INSERT INTO chat_user VALUES (1, 'Administrator', '', NULL, 'Offline'); It depends what chat.sql you import or if you import both. I am gonna ask denis if he can explain which ones should be imported. I was getting it partly working but since moving the files into catalog I get Warning: Failed opening 'connections/local.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/dcracing/public_html/catalog/chat/status.php on line 3 Could not select database so I don't know whats up just now but will persevere this contrib is mucho usefulo and it does work I have used in denis site :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 I am same problem. Fix: In file chat/status.php at line 3 FIND include('connections/local.php'); REPLACE WITH include('/home/dcracing/public_html/catalog/chat/ connections/local.php'); ATENTION! This path is only for ukracer. Anyone else must put there his path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Another problem occure when using deleteAll.php file At the line 38 in that file is a } from an old (commented) if statement . So, delete it. Bye, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clement Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 in deleteAll.php file, too , at line 40-41 mysql_free_result($result); mysql_free_result($result); must be commented out because $result querry from this page was commented, too.

sefu Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 How can we create a box on the left or right with images showing we are online or offline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukracer Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 I am same problem.

This path is only for ukracer. Anyone else must put there his path. Brilliant now it all works. Now all I need to do is to figure out the stuff needed to place on the page so a user can see when a operator is online or not and then let Denis know about the couple of mods to the package that need to be made and Re write the docs from a position of a total novice (me) :lol: and I can see this being used a great deal. Well done Denis and Clement many thanks to you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
