Hook for require_once in global.php

[Macindy]

Hi forum!

I want to integrate realchat in vbulletin.

In the howto the following is mentioned:

4. Edit the vBulletin file global.php, as described below:

Find the following line:
require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

Add the following line right below:
require_once(CWD . '/realchat.php');

Can I realize this with a plugin/hook?
How can I do this?

Try the global_start hook.

[Paul M]

Personally I would use the init_startup hook.

[Andreas]

init_startup is always being called - not only for frontend scripts.
one should keep that in mind.

then add a check for the VB_AREA == 'Forum'
