The documentation that comes with Live Chat is more than adequate for installing this very simple module.
If you read the error message you should be able to see the problem failed to include includes/blocks/block_Live_Chat.php The error tells you that either you did not upload that file, it was accidentally uploaded in ascii mode instead of binary mode and might be corrupted.

You should never give you full server path details as this can be useful for those who might want to attack your site. Unfortunately I'm not a moderator or anything here so I cannot edit your post.

Looks to me like you uploaded the files to the wrong spot...

includes/blocks/block_Live_Chat.php doesn't exist because it really doesn't exist.... it should be blocks/block-Live_Chat.php

What version of phpNuke is this compatible with? I currently have 8.0 installed, correctly uploaded all files (at least I think...) and I activate the module, see it in the module list on the main page...

When I click on it....I get nothing. I also do not have a block available when I go to block administration....

A bit of help would be awesome, as I am a bit of a phpNuke noob. Very Happy

I assume you have checked that you have PHP version 5 or later installed?

There is a block file in the package, I just downloaded it again and it is there inside the html/blocks/ directory within the unzipped package.

You will not see the block available when visiting the blocks admin are the first time, you have to select it from the list of installed blocks within the drop down menu in the blocks admin area.

Thanks.

I did that, and it is now available in the list as you said....

It is activated, as well as the module...however, I still see nothing on my home page. I should be seeing a side block where I can type a shout, correct?

Live Chat block should be underneath the other shoutbox...

Your module and block needs to be set so 'anonymous' can access it - even though they cannot use it unless logged it.

trbhardcore, you aren't using php5. It won't work for you unless you enable or upgrade to php5 Wink

Well, when I created the initial database...I checked php5.... Shocked

How do you know I am not using php5? I'm just curious how you could tell... Shocked

*UPDATE

BAH...you were right...I just checked my godaddy account page...

PHP version: 4.x Embarassed

OK, so I had updated the server to php5, and the live chat is now showing up, however...it is showing user info over the top of the chat window....

Is there a way to disable/hide this user window?

You probably have some java script conflict going on although I couldn't check as the block was not visible at the time I looked. Try disabling the shoutbox after all, I don't really see why you would need two chat area's.

Yeah, I had installed both installed and running, and I disabled the Shoutbox mod....

I didn't think about JS issues. I will try deleting everything associated with the Shoutbox (there is a .js file associated with it) and see if that helps.

Thanks for the help again Cool

OK, so that helped...I can party see the text that was typed, but the user name bar is still too wide. I have tried different themes, and all produce the same result.

Is there somewhere in the code that I can change the width of the username bar??
