Chat Program for 8.00.100

The problem to use of an existing chat programs with PF is to keep the users database in sync.

Especially when the encryption protocol for the passwords are different

In post#28 where I said I had found another one, I don't think it's fit for your purposes dude! It's huge and very complicated almost as much as a CMS. Incredible amount of configuration options that are not common. But if you want to check it out anyway here is the url:
https://mibew.org

But I did find another non-db one that I will check out and let you know.

OK... I have so much code in my head from looking at so many different chat apps that I feel like my head will explode. I'm gonna have to lay off this for a while but I will get back to it. I have one that really looks promising but there is a lot of backend configurations to do. I'll give you the url if you want to take a look yourself.

It may be easier to go with GroChat and make that work with Fusion. When your up to it again that is.....

Have to figure out how to fix that error message in GroChat because as it is, nothing gets posted.

Fred. If you have the GroChat script please send it to me.

Thanks for the link but my friend Fred already sent me the zip.
I'm afraid I have some bad news. After trying to run this script(s) and examinng all the error logs I'm getting, this code is just too old and would require an almost complete re-write. That is sometning that unfortunately, is beyond my capabilities. I tried several things such as re-doing the 'class' part in chat.php and can't even get that to work. I'm pretty good at modifying someone elses code to do what I want it to do as long as it's fairly new stuff but this is beyond me as like I said, it requires an almost complete re-write.
Sorry man; this is a hill I just can't climb.

After doing some googling, I found that if you change this "$HTTP_SESSION_VARS" (without the quotes) to $_SESSION in all the files, the binding error message goes away and a message that [username] enters the room is displayed.

The problem is that if you enter a message, what you get is "username > lack" (again without the quotes) and I have not been able to figure out how to fix that bit of problem.

That's funny; I extracted a fresh copy from the zip and did the same thing. Changed $HTTP_SESSION_VARS to $_SESSION_VARS but it doesn't work for me. I still get the message 'Cannot bind session'. I also changed all open php short tags '<?' to the full tag '<?php' that didn't help either. When I try to run it I get like 92K of errors in the error_log. Here are the errors I get:

Dunno man...

I just tried lowering my php version from 7.4 to 5.6... made no difference...

I think that if you change from $HTTP_SESSION_VARS" (without the quotes) to $_SESSION it will work. You have added a VARS to the $_SESSION which is why I don't think it works in your case.

I still have not figured out why it won't posts any messages however.

I just came across this chat script that gives you the option of using a database or text files.
