ArrowChat

Hi,

I'm trying out a trial version of Arrowchat and it all seems fine except one thing - when you send a smiley, the sender can see the smiley fine, however the recipient sees a broken image. Inspecting the image shows that the path is wrong - it's missing a slash. An example:

/arrowchat/themesnew_facebook_full/images/smilies/smiley.gif

There should be a slash between themes and new_facebook_full.

Thanks! I'll check this out and see if it is indeed a bug.

I verified that it does work and the coding seems to be correct.

When a message is sent, "DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR" is used between themes and the theme name (in this case new_facebook_full).

I've never heard of DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR not working on a server before and that would cause issues in other parts of the code too. Perhaps it is a problem with IonCube Loader but we can certainly fix this for you either way if you decided to purchase.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the reply! We went ahead and purchased the product after being impressed by its feature set and your customer service. I went ahead and installed the premium version. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing this behaviour.

If it makes troubleshooting any easier, I went into the database and had a look at the data in the "arrowchat" table's "message" field and it had this -

<img class="arrowchat_smiley" height="16" width="16" src="/secure/arrowchat/themesnew_facebook_full/images/smilies/smiley.gif" alt="smiley">

You can see the slash is missing from there too.

I'm testing this by using Chrome on one monitor and FF on the other. It doesn't matter if I type in Chrome or in FF, the result is the same.

Try opening up the arrowchat/includes/functions/functions_send.php file and change this (line 61):

Code: Select all

$text = str_replace($pattern, '<img class="arrowchat_smiley" height="16" width="16" src="' . $base_url . AC_FOLDER_THEMES . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $theme . '/images/smilies/' . $result . '.gif" alt="' . $result . '">', $text);

To:

Code: Select all

$text = str_replace($pattern, '<img class="arrowchat_smiley" height="16" width="16" src="' . $base_url . AC_FOLDER_THEMES . '/' . $theme . '/images/smilies/' . $result . '.gif" alt="' . $result . '">', $text);

I can't imagine this will work but it's worth a try. This will only effect new messages.

Are you on a Windows server by any chance?

Hi Jason,

Thank you - that's fixed it. And yes, we're on windows.
