FreiChat5 Module
Jomsocial 2.2
joomla 1.5


Freichat is displaying the is using the default freichat avatar instead of jomsocials, and i have confirmed $driver='Jsocial' in arg.php

not sure what else to try.

thanks

you may change the image by replacing the following file

freichat/client/jquery/user.jpeg

line 110 of arg.php is

$driver='JSocial';

And it's not that I have a problem with the default avatar, it's that it isn't using JomSocial's user's avatars

in FreiChatX backend

There is a option called show guests or registered users

change it to show buddies ,

ok, that seems to make the correct avatrs show up, but i dont want them to have to be "friends" to be able to chat with each other, how can i make this avatars work with all registered users? It worked fine in the previous version.

There were many changes between 4.x to 5.x , so i think i forgot to include the query
that gets the avatar images for JomSocial for the registered users.

So , dont worry i will fix it the next version which will be released by this week

Hello. Congratulations for freichat! Very good job.
I am using it with joomla + joomsocial.

The only problem I have is that if someone doesn't have an avatar to his jomsocial profile,
in the user list of freichat at the place of the avatar's picture , there is the word avatar.

The problem is tha this word drops into the name of that user.
How can I remove this word or use client\jquery\user.gif for users with no avatar???

Can you give me your website url , it will be very useful for debugging your problem.

Also , where have you pasted the freichat folder ?

Thnx for the reply.
site: http://www.taratatam.gr

I made 2 demo account one with avatar and one without to login and see the problem.

demo1
demo1


demo2
demo2

the chat folder is at the root folder of the site + /freichat

I never got this error in my localhost while testing ,

Can you tell me what was the difference between the two user accounts
that you gave me .

We will have to do some debugging to track down this error

the only difference is that the demo1 has jomsocial avatar, nothing else!!

doesn't demo2 use any avatar .

no, demo2 doesnt use any avatar. try to login from demo1 using one browser and from demo2 using another one simultaneously. And see how the users look at the chat.

Ok, i fixed it.

Opened file freichat/server/drivers/JSocial.php and replaced:



public function avatar_url($avatar)
{
$avatar_url = $avatar;
return $avatar_url;
}



replaced with:




public function avatar_url($avatar)
{
if ($avatar == "")
{
$murl=str_replace("server/freichat.php", "", $this->url);
$avatar_url = $murl.'client/jquery/user.jpeg';
return $avatar_url;

}
else
{
$avatar_url = $avatar;
return $avatar_url;
}
}
