ArrowChat

It's really a buggy and laggy chat, what to improve the chat?
I had 60 users online, and i had many offline messages which could not be delivered.
It was very buggy!

It doesn't help us very much to just say it's buggy. We need to know exactly what is wrong so that is can be fixed (if anything needs fixing).

Your server may not be powerful enough for 60 users. You should increase the heart beat and lower the idle time.

Ok, some more specs:

I had 60 users online and had some problems:

- Users were online on the site, but when i sent a message i received an offline notification (during this session, the user with who i was chatting with, was really sending messages to me!)
- Serverload increased alot when 60 users were online... even a too many mysql connections came up...
- Image formatting was not right, sometimes the image was displayed like this 'smiley-image' "> (the "> appearing at the back?!)

We have a similar problem:

In your own chat window, smiles appear ok.

In the receiver's chat window, we get this shown:

<img class="arrowchat_smiley" width="16" height="16" "="" href="http://chat.birchplace.com/i/themes/bp_v3/images/smilies/smiley.gif" _blank"="" src="<a target=">

Notice how the HTML here is wrong:

src="<a target=">

Any ideas what code is causing this please?

We are using 1.06

Notice the strange "="" AFTER the width and height definitions.

It would appear that the function makeClickableLinks() is being executed in receive_core.php is being executed even if the string is only a smiley, resulting in the receive window not showing the smiley, but showing a broken URL string instead.

Fixed in v1.1, here is the updated function:

Code: Select all

   function makeClickableLinks($s) {
      return preg_replace("! \b((([a-z]{3,5}://))". "[-a-z0-9.]{2,}\.[a-z]{2,4}". "(:[0-9]+)?". "(/([^\s]*[^\s,.])?)?". "(\?([^\s]*[^\s,.])?)?)\b!i",  "<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\\1\">\\1</a>", $s);
   }

We're having similar issues of getting offline message warnings. Where someone messages you first and then you reply back and arrow chat tells you that they're offline.

Thank you Jason, that seems to have fixed the smiley bug.
