Comments

Do you get any errors when posting? Does the chat page load at all?

---

I tried this link http://ibubblenet.com/qa-plugin/q2a-chat-room-master/qa-chat.php in different web browser but all came out with blank page. Please help.

I did what you said by clicking Add Link, it seems to be able to take me to the chat room now, however, when I typed anything in Post text, it lead me to nowhere, and Post button was grayed out. Did I do anything wrong here?

Answer 1

I think I see the problem - you need to create a link to the chat room URL. You don't link directly to the PHP file.

Under Admin > Pages, next to chat room click "add link" and it will add a link for you.

There seems to be a "500 Internal Server Error" when I post in the chat. I can't think why that would be, it calls the same page the chat is on - http://ibubblenet.com/index.php?qa=chat

Do you have any error logs that might tell you the exact error?

I found the following PHP error in error log file of hosting server.

It only works if I comment out this line in qa-chat.php code.

// $msg = qa_block_words_replace( $msg, $blockwordspreg );

---

OK I just made a change that should fix this: https://github.com/svivian/q2a-chat-room

Or you can simply add this line before the call to qa_block_words_replace:
require_once QA_INCLUDE_DIR.'qa-util-string.php';

The second option works fine for me, thank you very much!
