Autologin to Ajax chat

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 frown.
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
