    • Autologin to Ajax chat

    Posted by Torpedro posts: 80 Austria

    Hi!
    I'm quite used to customize tikiwiki, but i wold like to use the existing tiki-login with ajax Chat from blueimp

    I don't know how to do it!
    The examples for phpBB and the other CMS (here for IPB) are not helping much for tikiwiki, because the ajax chat loses the global variable $user somwhere on the way 🙁.
    The HowTo isn't helping much either.

    There are several examples (here for http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2126063&forum_id=774132) but none is helping much for tikiwiki.

    I know usually you donb't get helpful answers, but i have to try, since my self modded chat is not scrolling correctly in shitty IE.

    Thank you in advance!

    OK, i maanged to integrate the aoutlogin of ajax Chat into tikiwiki, path for ajax chat is tiki/chat:

    in custom.php:

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    require('../tiki-setup.php');


    In CustomAJAXChat.php:

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    // Initialize custom request variables: 
function initCustomRequestVars() { 
global $user, $tiki_p_admin, $userlib; 
include('../lib/userslib.php'); //needed for UserID 
//echo " tiki_p_admin: " . $tiki_p_admin; 
// Auto-login tikiwiki users: 
if(!$this->getRequestVar('logout') && $user != '') { 
$this->setRequestVar('userName', $user); 
$this->setRequestVar('userID', $userlib->get_user_id($user)); 
$this->setRequestVar('userRole', AJAX_CHAT_USER); 
if ($tiki_p_admin == 'y') { 
$this->setRequestVar('userRole', AJAX_CHAT_ADMIN); 
} 
$this->setRequestVar('login', true); 
} 
} 
 
// Returns an associative array containing userName, userID and userRole 
// Returns null if login is invalid 
function getValidLoginUserData() { 
$customUsers = $this->getCustomUsers(); 
//echo "Role: ".$this->getRequestVar('userRole'); 
if($this->getRequestVar('userName')) { 
// Check if we have a valid registered user: 
$userName = $this->getRequestVar('userName'); 
$userName = $this->convertEncoding($userName, $this->getConfig('contentEncoding'), $this->getConfig('sourceEncoding')); 
$userData = array(); 
$userData['userID'] = $this->getRequestVar('userID'); 
$userData['userName'] = $userName; 
$userData['userRole'] = $this->getRequestVar('userRole'); 
// print_r($userData); 
return $userData; 
} 
return null; 
}

    A real group mapping can be done also. So you could have chatrooms only available for special tiki groups which are mapped to roles.


    Step1: Define additional Roles in config.php

    add

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    define('AJAX_CHAT_GROUP1',5);

    before

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    define('AJAX_CHAT_CHATBOT',4);
define('AJAX_CHAT_ADMIN',3);



    Step 2: define Chatrooms for the group in users.php and change order to the order in Step1 (so the users and roles have teh same Id, that's important!)

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    //  registered user:
$users[1] = array();
$users[1]['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_USER;
$users[1]['channels'] = array(1,2,3,4,5,6);
//  moderator user:
$users[2] = array();
$users[2]['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_MODERATOR;
$users[2]['channels'] = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
// admin user:
$users[3] = array();
$users[3]['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_ADMIN;
$users[3]['userName'] = 'admin';
$users[3]['password'] = 'admin';
$users[3]['channels'] = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
// 4=chatbot
// Tiki Group1 channel definition
$users[5] = array();
$users[5]['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_GROUP1;
$users[5]['channels'] = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7);



    Step3: Map the TikiGroup to the Ajax-chat role in CustomAJAXChat.php, the full code again:

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    function initCustomRequestVars() { 
global $user, $tiki_p_admin, $userlib; 
include('../lib/userslib.php'); //needed for UserID 
//echo " tiki_p_admin: " . $tiki_p_admin; 
// Auto-login tikiwiki users: 
if(!$this->getRequestVar('logout') && $user != '') {
	$UserId = $userlib->get_user_id($user);
	$this->setRequestVar('userName', $user);
	$this->setRequestVar('userID', $UserId);
	$this->setRequestVar('userRole', AJAX_CHAT_USER); // define default role
	if ($tiki_p_admin == 'y') {
		$this->setRequestVar('userRole', AJAX_CHAT_ADMIN);
	}
	$user_details = $userlib->get_user_details($user);
	$ug = $user_details['info']['default_group'];
if ($ug == 'TikiGroup1') {
	$this->setRequestVar('userRole', AJAX_CHAT_GROUP1);
}
$this->setRequestVar('login', true); 
} 
}


    and replace

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    $validChannels = $customUsers[$this->getUserID()]['channels'];


    with

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    $validChannels = $customUsers[$this->getUserRole()]['channels'];

    Hi Torpedro,

    Thanks for your work on this. I'm trying to get it working on our tiki as well. I've installed chat and followed your modification instructions as best I could, but still not getting autologin.

    Also when I attempt to log in to chat with my tiki credentials, it says invalid username.

    1) are you starting with the Ajax Chat 0.8.3 regular stand-alone version?
    2) I'm a little unclear about the customAJAXChat file. I've attached it below, does it look like yours?

    Thanks,

    -Kent
