[SOLVED]Blueimp's AJAX Chat + CodeIgniter integration

I have a problem with integration Blueimp's AJAX Chat in my project based on CI framework.

In root durectory of my project, I made new folder "chat" and upload inside chat files. After I edit chat /lib/custom.php and write this:

PHP Code:

define('BASEPATH', AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'../system/');
define('APPPATH', AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'../application/');
define('ENVIRONMENT', isset($_SERVER['CI_ENV']) ? $_SERVER['CI_ENV'] : 'development');
define('VIEWPATH', APPPATH.'views/');
require_once AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'../system/core/CodeIgniter.php'; 


When I try to go url: http://myproject.com/chat/ it redirect me on auth page.

After auth, I cant open http://myproject.com/chat/ it keep redirecting me on other controllers of my project. Here is .htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

So I think after I import this file ../system/core/CodeIgniter.php in chat, it start using route, instead to redirect.

I want open this url http://myproject.com/chat/, but can't coz CI think that it is another controller.

======================================

Solution.

hi hi I solved this problem, long time ago and just now want to write my solution, maybe it will help someone in future

First need change CI index.php
Need make absolute path

PHP Code:

//$system_path = 'system';
$system_path = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'system';

//$application_folder = 'application';
$application_folder = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'application'; 


Now in Chat's custom.php add this code

PHP Code:

ob_start();
require_once __DIR__ . "/../../index.php";
ob_end_clean();
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->load->library('session'); 


Now our auth function in CustomAJAXChat.php will be looks like this:

PHP Code:

function getValidLoginUserData() {

        $CI =& get_instance();
        $CI->load->library('session');

        $userData = array();
        $userData['userID'] = $CI->session->userdata('id');
        $userData['userName'] = $CI->session->userdata('name');
        if(!$userData['userID']) {
            return header( 'Location: http://domain.com/user/login', true, 301 );
        }
        if($CI->session->userdata('status') == 1 OR $CI->session->userdata('status') == 2) {
            $userData['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_ADMIN;
        } else {
            $userData['userRole'] = AJAX_CHAT_OPERATOR;
        }

        return $userData;
    } 


All other parts u can write by urself

Create a Chat controller and run it from there.
