So what I did was set it to only members can chat, that didn't work, I checked the debug (which isn't in the location the documentation says it is), and that said it wasn't getting the user id, so I copied the codeigniter index file into the includes folder and named it external2.php, set the application and system path to ../../../ (trial and error to get the correct one, but it made sense when it worked), then in integration.php after the commented out //session_start(); (I tried uncommenting the session_start and changing cookie to session but that didn't work). I added:
- Code: Select all
ob_start();
include('external2.php');
ob_end_clean();
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->load->library('session');
and the get_user_id looks like:
- Code: Select all
function get_user_id()
{
$userid = NULL;
if (isset($_SESSION['user_id']))
{
$userid = $_SESSION['user_id'];
}
return $userid;
}
after that debug showed that the user id was working but it was saying that there was a problem with a foreach in functions_common.php so I changed the affected function to:
- Code: Select all
function check_array_for_match($needle, $haystack)
{
if(!is_array($needle)) return false;
foreach ($needle as $value)
{
if (in_array($value, $haystack))
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
As in I checked it was an array first and returned false if it wasnt.
Still no joy on the front end though, so I went into the admin and changed it to guests could chat, now the bar finally shows up, but it's showing me as a guest!
Any ideas?
