I don‘t think you want to run stuff like instant messengers on a webhost. Webhosts usually have heavy restrictions and CPU limits in place that lock your site down if they‘re exceeded. That‘s why it is usually recommended to go with a VPS setup for guaranteed resources.

Got a clean install of V2.1.1 of this on an XF1 site and it doesn't seem to be picking up the member id's to show logged in members to chat with each other. The bar only appears if I allow guests
This is the integrations.php
I've manually added the header and footer code.
Is there anything else I need to do to get it to pickup the XF users?
This is the integrations.php
Code:
function get_user_id()
{
global $db;
$userid = NULL;
if (!empty($_COOKIE['xf_session']))
{
$result = $db->execute("
SELECT session_data
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session
WHERE session_id = '" . $_COOKIE['xf_session'] . "'
");
if ($row = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
$data = unserialize($row['session_data']);
$userid = $data['user_id'];
$result = $db->execute("
SELECT is_banned, user_state
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . DB_USERTABLE . "
WHERE " . DB_USERTABLE_USERID . " = '" . $userid . "'
");
if ($row = $db->fetch_array($result))
{
if ($row['is_banned'] == 1 OR $row['user_state'] == 'email_confirm' OR $row['user_state'] == 'moderated' OR $data['isIpBanned']['result'] == true)
{
$userid = NULL;
}
}
}
}
return $userid;
}I've manually added the header and footer code.

Using version v1.8 on XF1.4, and plan to upgrade to XF2 soon.
Can I do a direct upgrade from v1.8 to v2.1.1 on XF2?
I read in the v2.0 release notes that:
So there is no way to keep the current chat history of users I have on XF1.4 when I upgrade to XF2 and Arrowchat 2.1.1?

Resource Housekeeping
In an effort to keep the resources relevant and to prevent purchases being made for unsupported paid resources, or resources being installed with no obvious indication that there is no author support available, they will be checked periodically and any which meet the internal criteria we have...

It is still available and being updated. I'm not a fan of XenForo's new auto resource deletion as it gets deleted just because we don't visit the page every month.
6 weeks, actually. We'd rather not have to work exceptions into the system because really every developer and author should have the same treatment, so frankly at the moment it's going to keep happening unless you can commit to visiting once every 4-6 weeks. Ultimately, it's your choice though. Prospective buyers should (and do) look at the resource author and see whether they're active here, or have been online recently. I appreciate your service and structure is slightly unique in that I presume a lot of your support is done through your own support channels, but those wishing to invest in a chat app like this may not realise that and might be put off if the last time the author visited was a while ago.
Resources have been undeleted.

As you said, we're in a unique situation where we support over 50 different pieces of software so it can be hard to visit XenForo often. We do support it whenever there is an issue, and we've done several enhancements to ArrowChat solely for XenForo. I visit this forum whenever someone posts but I haven't been receiving those email notifications as of late, despite them being enabled.
I didn't mean anything by that post and I hope you didn't take it that way. I'm just suggesting that the housekeeping policy should be improved. In my opinion, an email saying "Your resource is 10 days away from deletion" would suffice.

When the resource is auto deleted, can we still locate the author who created it and reach out to them or is it deleted and unviewable?
FWIW we're considering this so thanks for the feedback (and thanks to you as well @Alfa1 who I believe mentioned it first).

That’s more than fair, now they at least have a warning.
welcome back, and now we hope with the recent xen upgrade.....hopefully we can finally see an arrowchat upgrade....SOON.
from at least xen 2.1.2 mobile mode doesnt work and audio notifications pinging off at random is annoying and distracting....
dont want to use a different chat just waiting waiting for this one to work better..

I haven't heard of the two issues you mentioned before. Be sure to report them here: https://www.arrowchat.com/forum/tracker.php?p=1
We are about 50% done with our next update. The main goal was revamping our documentation which is now complete.
ok...i made a ticket about the mobile device not being recognized a couple months ago....was marked as a duplicate....i was assuming the audio notification bug was also already known about so i will try to get back over there again. thank you and best lucks to you...
btw, i did not notice the issue when we first came to xen 2.0 it occurred in one of the later versions along the way...perhaps 2.1.0 i am not certain tho.
