PirateBox 0.6.3 - Chatbox problem May 03, 2013 11:33PM |
Registered: 11 years ago Posts: 21 |
Installed a fresh piratebox 0.6.3 on my new MR-3040.
The only problem now is following:
Typing into chatfield -> no problem.
Data is correctly stored into "/cgi-bin/data.pso" file.
But nothing of this comes up within the main chat frame.
Anyone an ideas what could cause this problem? A bug?

data.pso has nothing to do with the frontend (in the browser) scripts. It is used in the background by the python-scripty on the PirateBox itself.
/opt/piratebox/www/cgi-bin/data.pso
Does this file change?
Does it have the correct permissions?
Was something changed in piratebox.conf ?

Yes, every new shoutbox comment is correctly saved into this file.
Yes, permissions are correct, even if set to 755 or 777.
Yes, it was changed to "do not reset chat".
Think theres an error in python data.pso-read script, which changed since 0.6.3.

If it does not have anything to do with frontend:
Why is it existing?!
I thought this file is beeing loaded into frontend to show last chat-comments, isnt it?
Where does the chat (frontend) gets it data from?
... Just for my understanding.

data.pso is used in background for saving the chat messages.
But during saving that message into data.pso, there is an extra file called "chat.html" written down to the www folder. This chat.html is read by JavaScript to display the chat messages. We made this kind of "pre-compile", because the Chat will be more often displayed then something is posted.
You can do a "fallback" to the old version (where data.pso is read), using

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm experiencing similar problems on my chat. In IE10 (can't test other browsers) the text only appears when I refresh the page. I see the chat in data.pso and chat.html, but when I visit piratebox.lan/chat.html, I get perpetual errors and only see "ok" in the chat area. break.log is blank, but error.log reads:
2013-07-01 07:04:03: (log.c.166) server started 2013-07-01 07:04:03: (server.c.987) WARNING: unknown config-key: url.access-deny (ignored)

Yes, I am running on a laptop.
I made an attempt to include Dreamwall's edit of Silvyn's bootstrap. After many tries, I managed to get it loaded into the right place, but I know that I left some artifacts in other places that I haven't bothered to get rid of. However, the chat box didn't work before that, nor does it work after it.

If this helps anyone in the future, I had to visit on two different devices the URL location of where the chat_content.html is located:
[piratebox.lan]
there I only saw the first anonymous default message - but it seems like refreshing that page again - all my other messages appeared.
After this, the device I was using was now able to receive all of the messages as they were being transmitted.
I had to do the same steps for my mobile device. 1) Visit that URL, 2) Refresh 3) Go back to the shoutbox
