Shortlinks disturbs SPChat

Thanks for your input, which made me to get it to work. I have only tested it on my test server locally, but it was working there in Firefox, Explorer and Opera.

This is the GT-SPChat.php file I used:

<?php

$urlin = array(
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?op=modload&name=SPChat&file=chat&rid=([0-9]*)&first=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?op=modload&name=SPChat&file=index&roomid=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?name=SpChat"'
);

$urlout = array(
'spchat-room-\\1.html',
'spchat-\\1.html',
'spchat.html'
);

?>

This is the .htaccess

#SpChat
RewriteRule ^spchat-room-([0-9]*).html modules.php?op=modload&name=SPChat&file=chat&rid=$1&first=$2
RewriteRule ^spchat-([0-9]*).html modules.php?op=modload&name=SPChat&file=index&roomid=$1
RewriteRule ^spchat.html modules.php?name=SPChat

Well, I am sure glad you did get this to work, as I was plum out of ideas. Sad

I have added the GT-SpChat.php and the lines in .htaccess now on my web hotel, but Shortlinks does not work here. If I debug, it complains that no GT-SpChat.php exists in the File path, although it is present allright in the Shortlinks directory. On the local server, the identical files works perfectly.

I have made a chat block: GTB-block-spchat.php

<?php
/******************************************************************************
* Script: TegoNuke(tm) ShortLinks "Block Tap" for the block-spchat.php
* block file.
* Version: 1.0

******************************************************************************/

$urlin = array(
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?op=modload&name=SPChat&file=chat&rid=([0-9]*)&first=([0-9]*)"',
'"(?<!/)modules.php\?op=modload&name=SPChat&file=index&roomid=([0-9]*)"',
);

$urlout = array(
'spchat-room-\\1.html',
'spchat-\\1.html',
);

?>

It taps the links correct in Firefox, but it does not produce a correct chat window at all. The debug of this is allright

I have found the error GT-SpChat.php should be named GT-SPChat.php instead, because the web hotel has a Linux server that is case sensitive. It is working now.

Ah, good find!

I have found a new problem with Shortlinks and SPChat. With Shortlinks off chatters are in the chat window greeted by a welcome message and the last 10 earlier chat messages, but if Shortlinks is enabled this is not seen and it is just white.

I know the program code in SPChat that is involved, but I can't post it here, because Sentinel stops it. Grateful for suggestions!

I have experimented this morning a little on my test server and maybe found a solution. Earlier you suggested a modification in mainfile.php to solve a problem I had with IP-look up for guests in forum. I have modified it to include SPChat:

Code:

if ((isset($name) && isset($file)) && ($name == 'Forums' && $file == 'modcp')|($name == 'SPChat' && $file == 'index')) {
} else {
if (isset($tnsl_bUseShortLinks) && $tnsl_bUseShortLinks && file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH.'includes/tegonuke/shortlinks/shortlinks.php')) {
define('TNSL_USE_SHORTLINKS', TRUE);
@include_once(INCLUDE_PATH.'includes/tegonuke/shortlinks/shortlinks.php');
}
}

Instead of index I tried out, receive and chat, but they did not work.
Can I use this on my productive site?

Well, that single '|' character is not going to work. Are you sure your code isn't really using '||', two of them? The '||' is the OR condition in PHP.

Unfortunately I have no familiarity with SPChat. I would think that it would be better to find out which URLs are still needing to be tapped?

I have tapped the URL for SPChat absolutely correct, but it is not still working correctly. I have added two || and it is working also. I have also just added it on the productive site and the Welcome message is now visible again. The code of the Welcome message seems to contain javascript and maybe it is the cause of the problem?

Ah, yes, embedded links through Javascript. That can cause issues. If you would like me to take a more in depth look at this, do you mind zipping up the SPChat module and sending it to me (because I think you had to make some changes to work with RavenNuke right?). If desired, please send to montego AT montegoscripts DOT com.

Thanks. I have just sent SPChat to you.

I must check out SPChat again sometime. I removed it a while ago due to unfixed security issues.

I have had problems with hackers that uploaded index.php and config.php through smileyupload.php of SPChat, so I have removed that file and it stopped it completely.
