Logout bug, am investigating

[Peter Pugh-Jones]

While testing, I have found that the Logout option, does not clear down the chatusers table. So ends up getting more and more rows for the same user indefinitely.  it seems to work at phpchat.org however, have you already revised this therefore?

Found the answer.  Basically about 4 of the php scripts have hardcoded references to the table prefix 'gamemech_'  if you swap these for your own (if using different) it should work better.

Also found that on line 319 of chat_input.php the 'HREF= /modules.php?name' is incorrect as linux relates this to absolute path from root.  Fixed my version by changing in to relative path (hack really) for example 'HREF=../../modules.php?name'

It works for now.

the files with hardcoded references in them to the table prefix 'gamemech_' are:

chatconfig.inc.php (the author tells us that one)
chat.sql (author told us that one too)
chat_input.php
db_functions.inc.php
functions.inc.php

no critisizim intended over these, as It is in Beta and is great !

regards,

Pete P-J.

Thanks for your input. Since the chat has being stress tested after I posted the release note on phpnuke.org I found a few bugs myself, too. I'll apply fixes to these and release an updated version soon.

Thanks,

Guys, I have this one too - but I can't even see any text when the caht opens up - any ideas?
