Username to another application
Sorry to bug all of you with this, but I've spent 15 hours trying to get this to work to no avail.
I'm trying to use an application called yshout to create a shoutbox in the panel.
I've got everything the way it should be but, but I can't get the friggin nickname to be populated by the Vanilla username.
This is the code (I think) in yshout that sets the username:
I've tried to include
both within the function and before the class, then use
to call the name and put it into the post function to assign the nick
But everytime I try to include anything, it breaks the application. I'm phpilliterate so I have no idea what's going on. It seems like because it's a class, the call is breaking the function and/or the class.
If anyone has any ideas, or can help in any way-- I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks,
aj

I've tried to include
include('../appg/settings.php');
include('../appg/init_ajax.php');
both within the function and before the class, then use
$name = $Context->Session->User->Name;
to call the name and put it into the post function to assign the nick
$nickname = $Context->Session->User->Name;
But everytime I try to include anything, it breaks the application. I'm phpilliterate so I have no idea what's going on. It seems like because it's a class, the call is breaking the function and/or the class.
If anyone has any ideas, or can help in any way-- I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks,
aj

In other words, I just need it so that people that are logged in have their names already in the Nickname part of the chat so if they post in the shoutbox their name is already there. I have taken out the Nickname input box... I don't want people abusing it and using other peoples names.
Thanks for trying to help... it's appreciated
I'm wondering if it'd be easier to just have Vanilla set the cookie that the chat reads when people log in?
I've looked and searched, but I can't seem to find where Vanilla does it's cookie setting.
Is this possible? Does anyone have any pointers or hints as to where to look?
Thanks.
class YShout { var $Context; function YShout($context, $path, $admin = false) { global $storage; // Redo to check for folders or just not break, because nonextant files should be allowed. // if (!file_exists($path)) error('That file does not exist.'); $this->storage = new $storage($path, true); $this->admin = $admin; $this->Context = $Context; }...And then use $this->Context->Session->User->Name;
I created an extension that calls the javascript that loads the yshout box into the panel... I just needed to add a setcookie in there to set the cookie to be used by yshout.
$nick = $Context->Session->User->Name; setcookie ("yNickname", $nick, time()+604800); $Head->AddScript("yshout/js/jquery.js"); $Head->AddScript("yshout/js/yshout.js"); $Head->AddStyleSheet("yshout/css/yshout.css"); $Head->AddScript("js/yshout.js"); ?>Hope this helps someone in the future.
Thanks.
Thanks Dinoboff, much appreciated. Though, it does seem to be working with the cookie, and I've been on this for ~20 hours (n00b), so right now I'm going to very gently close my ftp program, text editor, and go have a smoke or 10.
Thanks again.
cheers!
When you make your extension for this, I'd be happy to test it.
Seriously. Good luck.
Make sure that you put the yshout.js that is in the root of the zip in the vanilla/js folder.
I'll work on it a bit more when I get home from work.
sometimes it stays shrunk, but then pops open after a second...
though, it still seems to be acting funny. from time to time it won't load for some reason, and just sits there with the title and link...
too bad I have no idea what I'm doing
