A simple chat integrated in phorum? August 18, 2006 02:23PM |

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?

K3yo, thanks for your interest.
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!

Hi,
In ajax.phpmagazine.net i saw the ajaxim instant messenger.
[www.unwieldy.net]
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. :)

The X7Chat team just wrote an integration file to phorum.
There was a bug in my first test installation, but now it seems that it works.

The bug described above has been fixed, and you can go on with testing at:
[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.
