PHP Notice: Undefined index: drupal_user in mysite/beta/sites/all/modules/phpfreechat/handler.php on line 78

I get this error and then the phpfreechat just hangs.

I already deleted files/phpfreechat to see if that would help.

Fixed it

1. change following settings in php.ini to off
display_errors = Off

2. file location
i originally had my 'file' and 'file/tmp' folder in sites/default
I had to change it to sites/files

I think it didn't work because of the permissions of default

I tried it in mysite/com/files and that didn't work for me, but maybe others will have a different experience

Caveat to above- it is not working with custom theme. Just Garland

EDIT FIXED:

1. move $script variable in page.tpl.php to top if you moved it to the bottom for performance
2. in php.ini change display_errors= off
3. change files to sites/files

Status: Fixed » Closed (fixed)

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

Our install of phpfreechat was also not loading..

After trying all the various tips scattered across this and the phpfreechat forums, it actually turnt out that there was a php error in the file info.php

This is located at: sites/all/modules/phpfreechat/phpfreechat/themes/zilveer/info.php

The existing code looked like:

<?php
$aka = ""zilveer;
$author = "Name: Isa Acar";
$date = "10th Oct-2006";
$mail = "zilveer@gmail.com";
?>

Of course, this needs to be changed to:

<?php
$aka = "zilveer";
$author = "Name: Isa Acar";
$date = "10th Oct-2006";
$mail = "zilveer@gmail.com";
?>

This might not be the case for everyone, but this took long enough to figure out to be very annoying.
