Hello! I dream about integrating a simple chat system to phorum. I know there is already a java-based irc client integrated with phorum, but I would like to set up a chat with no irc channel, chiefly because I don't know how this works. I know a simple and efficient chat script called Ralf's chat (http://ralfchat.sourceforge.net/). Open source, of course. It is in perl, but this does not need to be a problem, most websites have a cgi-bin directory to run perl scripts. A webserver with php usually also has a cgi-bin directory. Ralf's chat works with a mysql database, like phorum. Therefore, I imagined it could be possible to modify the script in order to make it read the names and passwords stored in the phorum database instead of using it's own database. I imagine the script could use two databases: it's own and the database of the phorum board it is integrated with. It would just read the database to have the same user id - password combination as phorum, so that users of a phorum board can chat there without need to register previously. I am not a developper, not a real programmer, and for me this will be a challenge. But I would like to ask a question to the programmers here: do you tink that the way I described above to ingegrate these two scripts is realistic? https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,115590#msg-115590 Thu, 21 May 2026 10:44:19 -0400 Phorum 5.2.22 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,155033#msg-155033 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,155033#msg-155033 autoven Phorum Development Fri, 02 May 2014 19:57:14 -0400 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,118957#msg-118957 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,118957#msg-118957 www.ftbe.be]

I will give you feedback later.]]> slashbin Phorum Development Wed, 20 Dec 2006 11:36:41 -0500 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,116634#msg-116634 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,116634#msg-116634 [ludwin.net]

It could have happened only because I used an older version of Phorum (5.0.21) instead of the newest one (5.1.16a), on which the integration file had been tested first.]]> Ludwin Phorum Development Sat, 16 Sep 2006 22:35:03 -0400 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,116624#msg-116624 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,116624#msg-116624
There was a bug in my first test installation, but now it seems that it works.
Please have a look at: [ludwin.net]]]> Ludwin Phorum Development Sat, 16 Sep 2006 10:02:36 -0400 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,116553#msg-116553 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,116553#msg-116553
In ajax.phpmagazine.net i saw the ajaxim instant messenger.

It looks very great and could be a good service in our Phorum (like PM).
If someone has already adapted this script to phorum i would be intersted. :)]]> momo Phorum Development Thu, 14 Sep 2006 05:40:16 -0400 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,116513#msg-116513 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,116513#msg-116513 ajax.phpmagazine.net]

could be a place to start or for a nice clean looks

Yesterday, I made intensive tests with the chat system I wanted to integrate into Phorum, Ralph's Chat. I saw that this system is quite obsolete for today's standards. I will have to find a better chat system first, and then try to integrate it...

And, yes, I will inform about my progress here!]]> Ludwin Phorum Development Wed, 13 Sep 2006 04:25:41 -0400 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,115745#msg-115745 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,115745#msg-115745 k3yo Phorum Development Tue, 22 Aug 2006 18:27:58 -0400 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,115595#msg-115595 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,115595#msg-115595 Thomas Seifert Phorum Development Sat, 19 Aug 2006 11:30:59 -0400 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,115594#msg-115594 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,115594#msg-115594
Do you (or anybody else) know where, in which file, phorum checks the user's login and password?

Once I know this, I could take a look at the corresponding lines in ralph's chat, and then try to make the modifications to see how it works.]]> Ludwin Phorum Development Sat, 19 Aug 2006 10:17:59 -0400 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,115591#msg-115591 https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?14,115590,115591#msg-115591
