chat application

[Guilherme Rocha-2]

Hi folks,


do you use any chat application inside egroupware?


I'm looking for some application. I already used chatty app in older times.
But as I perceived that this app is no longer in egw.

Expresso Livre (an egw fork) have jMessenger embedded, this fork is
very limited, only 5 modules.


I still looking for a chat app.


thank you all.

This is what I did. It is extremely dirty and I cannot recommend it. But it works for my wife and I, and this is the beaty of open source, you can even mutilate the software.

1 Downloaded phpfreechat and put this inside my egroupware folder.
2 Inserted this in the same dir as chat.php

<?php
    require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/phpfreechat/src/phpfreechat.class.php';
    $params = array();
    $params["serverid"] = md5("your_servername_here");
    $params["title"] = "Chat to online users";
    $params["height"] = "120px";
    $params["showsmileys"] = false;
    $params["displaytabclosebutton"] = false;
    $params["theme"] = "msn";
    $params["display_ping"] = false;
    $params["channels"] = array("Public room");
    $params["nick"] = $_SESSION[egw_info_cache][user][account_firstname];
    $params['admins'] = array('adminname'  => 'adminpasswd');
    $params["max_msg"] = 10;
    $params["shownotice"] = 0;
    $chat = new phpFreeChat($params);
    if($_SESSION[egw_info_cache][user][account_primary_group] == -1){
        print("<div id='chatter'>");
        $chat->printChat();
        print("</div>");
    }
?>

3 Made symlinks to this file and phpfreechat from every app dir that I want to show a chat window

4 Inserted this at line 674 of class.idots_framework.inc.php (inside phpgwap/templates/idots:
$lastdir = array_pop(split('/', getcwd()));
                                if($lastdir == 'egroupware'){
                                        include_once('chat.php');
                                } elseif($lastdir != 'gallery'){
                                        include_once('../chat.php');
                                }

5 downloaded dojo to my server and added this to my egroupware dir

6 Added this to the head of head.tpl (inside phpgwapi/template/default):

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://your_server_name/egroupware/dojo-release-1.3.1/dojo/dojo.js"
                        djConfig="isDebug: false, parseOnLoad: true">
                </script>
                <script type="text/javascript">
                        dojo.require("dojox.layout.FloatingPane");

                    function createFloatingPane(divId, title, x, y, width, height) {
                        var pane = new dojox.layout.FloatingPane({
                                'title': title,
                                'id': divId + "_floater",
                                'closeable': true,
                                'resizable': true,
                                'dockable': false
                                }, divId);
                        // quick fix for positioning, does not seem necessary in source code
                        // example (FloatingPane test), but was necessary with dojo bin and
                        // Firefox 3.0.1
                        pane.domNode.style.right = x + "px";
                        pane.domNode.style.bottom = y + "px";
                        pane.resize({ 'w': width, 'h': height });
                        pane.startup();
                        return pane;
                        }

                        function load() {
                                var floatingPane = createFloatingPane("chatter", "Drag me", 10, 140, 500, 100);
                                floatingPane.bringToTop();
                        }

                        dojo.addOnLoad(load);
                </script>


Again, this is a dirty hack but it works...

[as2]

If you use this, you will have to play with the outline of the chatbox, because I also deleted some buttons from phpfreechat. This can be done by setting parameters x and y.

[Guilherme Rocha]

Hello friend,


thank you for your precise answer.  :-)

lol, it seems really not "clean", but it's a interesting solution,
since egw doesn't provide a chat application (should have one).

I'll consider it when implementing new egw environments.
I received other testimonials about Jmessenger inside egw.


Thanks once more dude.


Guilherme

Ok,


I'm just curious...
Could I take a look in the final results?

to access a demo, or to see a screenshot?


Thanks once more.

Had to delete some private info ;), but here is what it looks like:

(you can see from the empty online users list, that this server is only used by me and my family. You will get a lot more names there if more users belonging to group -1 (default) are online.

[Guilherme Rocha]

lol,


looks nice!

I'm intended to test it on my local server, in order to test.



thanks a lot dude.

I'll report new soon.

Just found out that this does not work with ie.... <tired>of course not, how could I ever think this would be work on ie</tired> The dojo part does not work very well in ie. Looking for other solution than. Without the dojo, a box under your app is printed, not free floating, and from left to right. Maybe my own free floating box will work. Looking after it. Will report on this thread when done.

[as2]

Forget about dojo. Instead put this in footer.ptl (/egroupware/phpgwapi/templates/default/footer.tpl), just before the closing body tag:

<script type="text/javascript">
var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1);
var d = document;
function JSFX_FloatDiv(id, sx, sy)
{
        var el=d.getElementById?d.getElementById(id):d.all?d.all[id]:d.layers[id];
        var px = document.layers ? "" : "px";
        window[id + "_obj"] = el;
        if(d.layers)el.style=el;
        el.cx = el.sx = sx;el.cy = el.sy = sy;
        el.sP=function(x,y)
        {
                this.style.left=x+px;this.style.top=y+px;
        };

        el.floatIt=function()
        {
                var pX, pY;
                pX = (this.sx >= 0) ? 0 : ns ? innerWidth :
                document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientWidth ?
                document.documentElement.clientWidth : document.body.clientWidth;
                pY = ns ? pageYOffset : document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop ?
                document.documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop;
                if(this.sy<0)
                pY += ns ? innerHeight : document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientHeight ?
                document.documentElement.clientHeight : document.body.clientHeight;
                this.cx += (pX + this.sx - this.cx)/8;this.cy += (pY + this.sy - this.cy)/8;
                this.sP(this.cx, this.cy);
                setTimeout(this.id + "_obj.floatIt()", 40);
        }
        return el;
}
JSFX_FloatDiv("chatter", -540, -230).floatIt();

</script>

Than change chat.php line 18 to:
print("<div id='chatter' style='position:absolute; width:500px; height:100px; z-index:50;'>");

Still get some strange warning in ie about non secure items when using https, though in firebug I see nothing loaded over http.

[as2]

Got this from http://www.javascript-fx.com/submitscripts/float/float.html 

[as2]

The phpfreechat logo is loaded over http

In themes/default/chat.js.tpl.php lin 120:
http://www.phpfreechat.net/pub/logo2_80x15.gif

So, I deleted this. By now I am violating 2 licenses and do a dirty hack, great.

If you want to use this:
Look at
http://www.javascript-fx.com/submitscripts/float/float.html and insert the reference and load the phpfreechat logo from your own server through https.

Sometimes the floating div gets in the way, so I am going to add a little function to make it float to the top of the page or something.

Do you think, there could be a possibility like for the gallery module
which is also "plugged in" via remote SVN? Such way, only the eGw
application registration, application wrapping and user management code
is inside eGw.

A solution like that could be most future-proof because only the
integration part would need to be maintained by eGroupware...

Best regards,
Hans-Jürgen

Added some extra javascript:
var chatterOnTop = false;
function reFloatChatter(){
        if(chatterOnTop){
                JSFX_FloatDiv("chatter", -510, -230).floatIt();
                chatterOnTop = false;
        } else {
                JSFX_FloatDiv("chatter", -510, 10).floatIt();
                chatterOnTop = true;
        }
}
and changed line 19 in chat.php to:
print("<div id='chatter' ondblclick='reFloatChatter()' style='position:absolute; width:500px; height:100px; z-index:50;'>");

Makes the div float to another side of the screen after double click

[RGoblin]

Hi Hans,

Ik think you can answer this question much better yourself. I did not read
the fabulous documentation about how to develop an application in eGW. I
just made it work in this dirty / hackish / raw way.

For the moment though I do not see problems
1 License is ok, LGPL as long as you provide the logo see
http://www.phpfreechat.net/ for details
2 No database needed, only write permissions to the data directory
3 Logo is loaded from their website, you have to make provisions for this,
but no big deal I presume
4 The way I implemented user management is very rudimentary and not suitable
for a real-life company

After all I have seen this chat script as a module for Drupal and if you
look at the faq at their website it is possible to connect it to punBB,
phpBB, and fudForum.

>From the screenshots of Expresso Livre it looks like this is a much more
mature implementation.
Maybe Guilherme Rocha can comment on this too as he said:
I received other testimonials about Jmessenger inside egw.

Me neither, but I gave it a try. It's an integration just like gallery.
I had to fight a bit with the order of calling this and that and also a
small fight between egroupware xajax and phpfreechat's ajax. ;-)
It's working fine here (except, I do not like my logo). ;-)

Hello laco,

try with admin rights in the phpfreechat editline the command     /rehash   to enforce a reload of the configuration ( this is an implemented function of phpfreechat itself) ->
http://www.phpfreechat.net/commands

<<
rehash

This command deletes the cached configuration

/rehash

@Hans-Juergen Tappe, if you read this:
Any doubts about this proposal?

[laco]

Thank you Jurgen.
On the server if work fine (on the localhost i dont know why not work)...

I have 1 problem now. When I use chat sometimes disconnect me from the chat, and dont signalize that.
I try to use parameter "timeout", but i dont know what is a good value.
How I set up, that never disconnect me form chat?

Thank you...
