I just purchase a tagbox/shoutbox. the instruction to integrate to VB is below.



if you host your own website with its own userbase, it is quite easy to integrate Cbox so that it automatically assigns the correct names to users logged in to your website.
If your site is PHP-based (e.g. phpNuke, vBulletin, phpBhttp://forum.forumer.com/images/smilies/cool.gif, alter your Cbox HTML code in the following way:


...&amp;sec=form&amp;nme=<?=urlencode($name)?>&amp;nmekey=<?=md5('16al9m891d1e8k6k'.$name)?>
Where the variable $name appears, insert the variable that represents the user's name as retrieved from your userbase. This will vary depending on your CMS or forum system. After changing your code, enable user override below.
The question is what use instead of $name ?

Use this:
<!-- BEGIN CBOX - http://www.cbox.ws -->
<div align="center" id="cboxdiv">
<iframe frameborder="0" width="720" height="305" src="http://www2.cbox.ws/box/?boxid=1482560&amp;boxtag=2379&amp;sec=main" marginheight="2" marginwidth="2" scrolling="auto" allowtransparency="yes" name="cboxmain" style="border:#000000 1px solid;" id="cboxmain"></iframe><br/>
<iframe frameborder="0" width="720" height="75" src="http://www2.cbox.ws/box/?boxid=1482560&amp;boxtag=2379&amp;sec=form&amp;nme=$bbuserinf o[username]&amp;nmekey=<if condition="$nme = md5('21aj9i97519l2mgo' . $bbuserinfo[username])">$nme</if>" marginheight="2" marginwidth="2" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="yes" name="cboxform" style="border:#000000 1px solid;border-top:0px" id="cboxform"></iframe>

The following template conditional expression contains function calls:

With a few exceptions, function calls are not permitted in template conditional expressions. Please go back and re-write this expression.

Create a plugin at 'forumhome_complete' and insert this:
$nme = md5('21aj9i97519l2mgo' . $vbulletin->userinfo['username']);
Then instead of my previous code, use:
<!-- BEGIN CBOX - http://www.cbox.ws -->
<div align="center" id="cboxdiv">
<iframe frameborder="0" width="720" height="305" src="http://www2.cbox.ws/box/?boxid=1482560&amp;boxtag=2379&amp;sec=main" marginheight="2" marginwidth="2" scrolling="auto" allowtransparency="yes" name="cboxmain" style="border:#000000 1px solid;" id="cboxmain"></iframe><br/>
<iframe frameborder="0" width="720" height="75" src="http://www2.cbox.ws/box/?boxid=1482560&amp;boxtag=2379&amp;sec=form&amp;nme=$bbuserinf o[username]&amp;nmekey=$nme" marginheight="2" marginwidth="2" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="yes" name="cboxform" style="border:#000000 1px solid;border-top:0px" id="cboxform"></iframe>
</div>
<!-- END CBOX -->

sorry, how do we do that? Create a plugin at 'forumhome_complete' and insert this: ?

Update, I was able to create new plugin, i made it active. and named it cbox.

Wow, it works Thanks for this :)

If its not too much to ask, how do we make this only viewable to login users?
