PHPLive Chat

[robiny]

Hi there,

Still new here!

I want to i nstall the PHP live chat as it appears to be the easiet one for me to understand, unless anyone knows differently. I have no problem following the instructions in setting up the sidebox. My problem is seeing anything in the sidebox.

Where does the following text go?

$content .= '<!-- BEGIN PHP Live! code, (c) OSI Codes Inc. -->
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.yourdomain.com/phplive/js/status_image.php?base_url=http://www.yourdomain.com/phplive&l=admin&x=1&deptid=0&"><a href="http://www.phplivesupport.com"></a></script>
<!-- END PHP Live! code : (c) OSI Codes Inc. -->';

Thanks for your help

Robin

There are several in the downloads/sideboxes section on this site but phpLive does not appear to be one of them but you can switch or view what was done and apply your code for phpLive and then contribute it.
Some:

I did a search in downloads for "live chat" and came up with phplive too and i had the same question.....there is a long string of code, but it doesnt say what to do with it??

I looked at crafty syntax too......just scared I may not be able to install properly.
suggestions?

Once you have your PHP Live account setup, login in set up your Operators, and then click generate code, it will give the same code that your question is about. Paste that code into the tpl_PHPLive.php file located in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_PHPLive.php and then upload to your site in that structure.

I try to contact OSI Codes to purchase PHP Lives but no avail. No email reply, phone not in service. Does anyone know what is happening to OSI Codes and PHP Live ?
Thanks,

It appears PHPLive Chat has closed their doors and not told anyone! I canceled my subscription to PHPLive Chat on April 18 and received email notification from the company at that time. They continue to bill my credit card for the monthly $29.95 charge, but no longer respond to emails and their phone numbers are disconnected. It appears I may need to close my credit card in order to stop the charges.

I have just uploaded a new version of the mod that hopefully has better instructions. I also installed it in a 1.3.8a store and it works the same as it did in 1.3.7. Let me know if the instructions are still unclear. The update should be listed in the downloads section soon.

I installed the latest PHPlive and all seems to work running Zen 1.3.8a, except when using //https pages. I assume its because I'm using trial server and its not using SSL as I tried to add //https to the links

Note: The instructions are easy, clear for this mod for Zen its just when you go PHPlive site to setup Operator things get fuzzy as to what to do there. $0.02

One thing that may work better is to use the same protocol as the page the status image is being displayed on.

<script type="javascript" src="//www.yourdomain.com/phplive/js/status_image.php?base_url=//www.yourdomain.com/phplive&l=admin&x=1&deptid=0&"></script>

Note: Instead of specifying "http:" or "https:" your browser should assume whatever protocol is being used by the current page. This should supress the "unsecure items" warning in IE.

Keep in mind if SSL is not properly configured on the server you host PHPLive on, trying to show it using "https:" will most assuredly fail.

The mod also assumes you are familiar with the deployment and configuration of PHPLive (we used "owned" instead of "hosted").
