Hi,
I would like to show users online for x7chat below the forum logo on the top left of the forum page. I have the code in a php file. How would i add it there without causing a mess? I know nothing about php and asp.
Thanks |

eek! php and asp are managed by 2 different handlers - to work with snitz (all asp) you'd need to translate the php code to asp. they won't work together - explanation below...
your webserver knows how to treat each file it's asked for by the extension (eg .htm, .asp, .php, etc). In IIS an ISAPI filter is invoked for the appropriate file type (.htm passes straight through, .asp invokes the ASP ISAPI parser, etc). As your file will have extension .asp (all snitz files have), the ASP parser is invoked, and it doesn't speak PHP. If you changed the filename to PHP, the PHP parser won't understand the ASP. Either way, it ain't gonna work unless you get both bits of code in the same language (I suggest ASP if you want the page to work with the rest of snitz!)

Thanks for the info. So do you know of any open source chat programs that will work with this situation? Or better yet one that can interface with snitz forums to also update new members into the chat database? Or should i make a new post of this?
Thanks,
Bill |

with your existing chat scripts: one way to do it would be to record who's online in your chat room in your forum database through php then find out who's online on the forum page in ASP by calling the information from the database.
otherwise have a search of the mod w/code forum and www.snitzbitz.com i'm sure i've seen some chat room add-ons floating around. |
