A phpMyChat integration Hack [Archive]

Stasik

06-25-2001, 10:00 PM

Hi.... it is my first hack - phpProbe ;)
here is it... it was tested under vbb2x RC2 and phpMyChat 0.14.4

News:
Updated on 19.07.01
- FAQ has been add

Updated on 18.07.01
The hack is compatible with version 0.14.5 of phpMyChat
- there is some javaScript code there, so the hack will not work with browsers without JS support (phpMyChat will not work with these browsers too ;) )
- the Exit link in chat works ok now

Hack:
Step 1:
open /lib/index.lib.php3 in yours phpMyChat Derictory
find:
// Fix some security holes

replace it with

//a VBB integration hack by Stasik (stasik@t-online.de)
//v0.1
//(C)2001

$exiturl = "http://www.blabla.com"; // the url the user will be redirected exiting the chat

if($Ver == ""){print "
<HTML>
<SCRIPT TYPE=\"text/javascript\" LANGUAGE=\"javascript\">

</SCRIPT>
<FORM ACTION=\"index.php3\" METHOD=\"POST\" AUTOCOMPLETE=\"OFF\" NAME=\"Params\">
<INPUT TYPE=\"hidden\" NAME=\"Ver\" VALUE=\"L\">
</FORM>
<SCRIPT TYPE=\"text/javascript\" LANGUAGE=\"javascript\">
defineVerField();
document.forms.Params.submit();
</SCRIPT>
</HTML>
"; exit;}

chdir("/path/to/board/");
require("./global.php");
chdir("/path/to/chat/");

if ($bbuserid == 0)
{
print "no"; //Message if the user has no cookie
exit;
}
else
{
if ($bbusername == "" || (isset($bbusername))==0)
{
$getusername=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid=$bbuserid");
$username=$getusername[username];
$bbusername = $username;
}
else
{
$username = $bbusername;
} }

$U = $username;

$pat = "[[:space:]]";
$repl = "";
$U = ereg_replace($pat,$repl,$U);
$pat = ',';
$U = ereg_replace($pat,$repl,$U);
stripslashes($U);

$N = 20;
$D = 10;
$Form_Send = 1;

//Replace admin with your administration nick
if($U != "Admin")
{
$PASSWORD="1";
}

// Fix some security holes

Step 2:
open /lib/index.lib.php3 in yours phpMyChat Derictory
find:

$DbLink->query("INSERT INTO ".C_MSG_TBL." VALUES ($EN, '$E', 'SYS exit', '', ".time().", '', 'sprintf(L_EXIT_ROM, \"".special_char($U,$Latin1)."\")')");
}
}

replace it with:

$DbLink->query("INSERT INTO ".C_MSG_TBL." VALUES ($EN, '$E', 'SYS exit', '', ".time().", '', 'sprintf(L_EXIT_ROM, \"".special_char($U,$Latin1)."\")')");
}
}
if($exit == "1"){header ("Location: $exiturl"); exit;}

Step 3:
open /exit.php3 in yours phpMyChat Derictory
find:

<A HREF="<?php echo("$From?Ver=$Ver&L=$L&U=".urlencode(stripslashes($U))."&E=".urlencode(stripslashes($R))."&EN=$T"); ?>" TARGET="_parent"><?php echo(L_EXIT); ?></A>

replace it with:
<A HREF="<?php echo("$From?exit=1&Ver=$Ver&L=$L&U=".urlencode(stripslashes($U))."&E=".urlencode(stripslashes($R))."&EN=$T"); ?>" TARGET="_parent"><?php echo(L_EXIT); ?></A>

ENJOY

FAQ:
Q: I`m getting "no" every time.
A: You need to upgrade a cookie option in your VB control panel. Write under: Options->Change Options->[HTTP Headers and output]->Cookie Domain your domainname ONLY (blabla.com).

Q: I`m getting "you need to register" error.
A: Enable chat using for not registered users in your phpMyChat config (/config/config.lib.php3).

Q: I`m getting "wrong password" error.
A: Make shure you have deleted all user accounts in your chat and have only administrative one. If you are logging is as administrator note that you have to enter your password EVERY time you are logging in.

Is there a demo of it? I would like to see it in action before installing it.

Stasik

06-27-2001, 07:47 AM

there was a local demo of it, i`m searching a demo forum... IT WORKS REALLY :)

Your hack works fine for me, but i have a quastion:

Ho are users able to open a private room? They are not listed in the phpmychat user database i guess, so they can "only" chat, right?

Is there a chance to use the vbulletin database for all other actions (like open a private room)?

Best wishes, polizist

Is phpMyChat hard on a server? I'm running on a virtual account, and would love to have this hack, but I'd like to know whether the chat script would have my host howling for my blood (or shutting down my account;)) first :)

polizist

07-12-2001, 10:03 AM

well, we have it on our own server with a gig of memory. just try what happens ;)

Stasik

07-13-2001, 12:59 PM

Hi

you have to allow the chat-use to unregistered useres (using setup.php3 or manually in config file)

--OR/AND--

you have to delete all users from chat and leave only Admin-nick

bye

Stasik

07-15-2001, 06:18 PM

but as i have seen in link it works... replace "no" wiht page that means "chat is only for forum registered members... please login yourself or register" or so that ;)

webhost

07-15-2001, 06:25 PM

this is what I put in go to link and see result

print "/index.php3"; //Message if the user has no cookie
exit;

Stasik

07-15-2001, 06:28 PM

you should write
require("./index.php3");

BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK!

you can foget the standart login page with this hack... :(

users without forum-accout can not use it :(

webhost

07-15-2001, 06:30 PM

function stripslashesarray (&$arr) {

Stasik

07-15-2001, 06:38 PM

ups ;)

i dont know php very good.. delete the line ;)

replace "no" with HTML code

webhost

07-15-2001, 07:05 PM

we tired I think the way you put require ./index.php3 in is correct problem somewhere else. I f you have it working could you direct to the url where I could see it in action?

Stasik

07-15-2001, 07:16 PM

i`ll show you original php-code

~~
if ($bbuserid == 0)
{
print "<html>
Please register you or login you by our forum.
</html>
";
exit;
}
else
{
if ($bbusername == "" || (isset($bbusername))==0)
~~

somthing like this

Stasik

07-15-2001, 07:29 PM

Hey webhost, it has worked by you, when there was written "no".

webhost

07-17-2001, 04:57 PM

I never got it working.

Stasik

07-17-2001, 05:01 PM

ok... lets start it new

edit ur /usr/lib/index.lib.php3
plaste bbefore "require("./${ChatPath}config/config.lib.php3");"

//a VBB integration hack by Stasik - source parts were taken from other authors ;)
chdir("/home/realweb/public_html/forums/");
require("./global.php");
chdir("/home/realweb/public_html/chat/chat/");

if ($bbuserid == 0)
{
print "no"; //Message if the user has no cookie
exit;
}
else
{
if ($bbusername == "" || (isset($bbusername))==0)
{
$getusername=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid=$bbuserid");

$repl = "";
$U = ereg_replace($pat,$repl,$U);

stripslashes($U);

$N = 20;
$D = 10;
$Form_Send = 1;

//Replace admin with your administration nick
if($U != "Admin")
{
$PASSWORD="1";
}

If you had a login problems (bad password), I have forgotten to say, that you have to DELETE all exisind accounts and leave only admin-account

webhost

07-17-2001, 09:20 PM

Sorry for the delay, got busy. Do you mean delete all users in my chat and just leave admin?

Joey

Stasik

07-17-2001, 09:45 PM

yes, I mean it

P.S. The name must not be "Admin", but if you want it - you can do it ;)

webhost

07-17-2001, 10:12 PM

ok I deleted all my users except admin which I go my bbman. Changed that in your script put in for the nick.I try to go to http://chat.realwebhost.net All I get is a blank screen with the word no. I went to my forums and signed in and clicked on my link in the forums http://chat.realwebhost.net and the same no. Now I have no users and it still doesn't work. Hope you will help me get this working.

Joey

Stasik

07-17-2001, 10:19 PM

i know the answer!

go into you vbb adminpanel

go Options->Change Options->[HTTP Headers and output]->Cookie Domain

and write just "realwebhost.net" there

webhost

07-17-2001, 10:32 PM

ok went to cookie domain and put in this .realwebhost.net
noticed the 2 dots, I also tried realwebhost.net with 1 dot

In your script under admin nick there is something like password=
"1" do I need to change 1 and put in my admin password for the chat room?

I am still getting no

I am using this link to board http://chat.realwebhost.net/index.php3

Stasik

07-17-2001, 10:38 PM

u have not to change 1 to anyting.

i have tryed to login in at realwebhost.net/forums annd use the chat at realwebhost/chat/chat and it has worked.... :eek: try to change the cookie doman to "realwebhost.net", clear all cookies on your computer and try to login again

webhost

07-17-2001, 10:40 PM

1 dot or 2 dots

Stasik

07-17-2001, 10:58 PM

STOP STOP STOP

visit here http://chat.realwebhost.net/chat/

it works.. you have to change your chat derictory...

Stasik

07-17-2001, 10:59 PM

plz read my previous post

you have to copy your chat from

realwebhost.net/chat/chat/ to realwebhost.net/chat/

and change then a path to chat in my hack

webhost

07-17-2001, 11:05 PM

Changed the link to http://chat/realwebhost.net/chat/
Now it takes me to opening page and wants me to register is that correct?

Stasik

07-17-2001, 11:08 PM

Hm... also... you as admin will have to enter your password each time you wants to login..... :( but other users have not to do it.... just edit the phpmychat config file and allow the UNREGISTERED users to use the chat

Stasik

07-17-2001, 11:10 PM

the links chat.realwebhost.net/chat looks not very comfortable ;) i`ll advice you to copy your chat from /chat/chat to/ /chat/, but it`s only a advice ;)

webhost

07-17-2001, 11:13 PM

don't run off one second

Stasik

07-17-2001, 11:14 PM

ok.. i`m waiting

webhost

07-17-2001, 11:28 PM

ok chat/chat is no more it is now realwebhost.net/chat

I have changed the path in your script from chat/chat to chat/

I have changed the link on the board to http://www.realwebhost.net/chat/

I logged out of my forum as admin and loggen as theone selected chat it took me to the main screen of the chat and put my name in the users slot but not ME i HAD TO REGISTER FIRST.

Ok its up to you now

Some time I believe I changed something in the chat that made someone register before they chatted could that be the problem?

I in picture that when someone signs in on my forum and selects chat it takes them to the chat room not to the opening chat page to register am I thinking right

webhost

07-17-2001, 11:29 PM

do I still need to upload that index.html file to chat/

Stasik

07-17-2001, 11:32 PM

yes you are thinking right...

no, u had`nt upload it any longer...

listen here..

the link chat.realwebhost.net ist working too

Some time I believe I changed something in the chat that made someone register before they chatted could that be the problem?

THIS IS A PROBLEM

correct it... and it will be work...

p.s. and change the images paths ;)

ok I installed what you had put in the first post, still have the same problem.

webhost

07-18-2001, 01:10 PM

ok I have uploaded your new hack. I tried to select the other rooms and it takes me back to the main chat signin page and tells me that my password doesn't match. Also look at this image I don't have any scroll bar, font, table or send message field box at the bottom or the ? mark in the left bottom. here is the image

webhost

07-18-2001, 01:50 PM

yes I deleted all of version 14.2 and then installed 14.5 then I looked at chat room. It was fine.

then I installed your hack and you see what we are getting.

index.lib.php3 attached in a zip

07-20-2001, 08:06 PM

I don't see the part where this is actually integrated into the index.php page. How do you do that?

Stasik

07-20-2001, 08:10 PM

hm.... its my secret ;)

ThePenguin

07-20-2001, 08:15 PM

Um, please explain? I do appear to have the rest of it working now but obviously that is a key element.

Stasik

07-20-2001, 08:17 PM

do you have paypal? :D

ThePenguin

07-20-2001, 08:21 PM

No I don't. Never mind; I didn't see anywhere listed in this hack that you are charging for its use. Perhaps you should list that in the installation instructions.

Stasik

07-20-2001, 08:25 PM

what are you speaking about? i`m dont charging for it its FREE!

ThePenguin

07-20-2001, 08:28 PM

Then you really did lose me. Could you direct me to how to integrate it into Vbulletin? I've looked through this thread but don't see it. I also don't see it or any downloadable files or links in your initial thread on it.

I'm still not even sure that I can use this-- I don't know how rough phpMyChat is on a shared server.

PS-- Perhaps my question is not clear. I set up phpMyChat with the modifications listed in your instructions and it does appear to be running. On my Vbulletin, how do you get the box that says who is in the chat with the links? That's my question...

Stasik

07-21-2001, 11:30 AM

ahm..... THIS isn`t in the hack.... it is just my private test :D

a small advice: look in "chat_activity.php3" :D

Anyone else having problems with this hack in netscape? I have it working correct in IE but I still get NO in netscape.

Netscape suxx, it must die...

try to change the cookies options in netscape or "cookie domain" option in VBB control panel

I have problem on EXIT from Chat. After pressing EXIT in chat windows, it's not return to the vBulletin Forum. It's still in the Chat Windows.

Can you please help ? I have already modified the exit.php as mentioned in your instruction.

Thanks

Sukij

07-26-2001, 09:25 AM

HI..

More info. in the index.php3 I also put

$exiturl = "http://203.154.80.13:90"; // the url the user will be redirected exiting the chat

So, it should be redirected back to the forum.

Thanks

HI..

After install the hack, how can I choose the language.

Thanks

HI..

After install the hack. How can I create new room ?

I try to use command /join

but the windows pop-up show that I need to register before I can create new room.

Thanks

Stasik

07-26-2001, 11:10 AM

1) can u post yuur index.lib.php3 here?

2) where do u want to change language?

3) i fear its impossible :( (try to allow private rooms to unregistered users)

Sukij

07-27-2001, 12:14 AM

HI..

1. I attached the index.lib.php3 in this post. The problem is still there, after press EXIT, usres are not redirected back to forum. Please help checking my attached file.
2. Language : After testing, I found that if the registerd users has been redirect from forum to Chat, they will be stop at the LOGON screen since password need to be enter where Language can be selected. But for the unregistered user, the system bring them directly to the chat windows without stoping at the LOGON screen, so these people can't choose language. Is it possible to move the language selection into chat windows instead of LOGON screen and allow users to select or change their language at any time.
3. Is ok, I understand now.

Thanks

Sukij

07-27-2001, 12:17 AM

HI..

Let me confirm with you what is the correct way of the step..

1. In case of Registered Users. What happen after they press EXIT. Go back to the LOGON screen or Forum ?
2. In case of Unregistered Users. I think these people will be redirected back to forum. Am I correct ?

Thanks

Sukij

07-27-2001, 01:47 AM

HI..

I solve the problem of Cannot EXIT already. It's my mistake to miss the STEP 2.

Thanks

Sukij

07-27-2001, 06:43 AM

HI..

I don't care the Language Selection now since unregistered users can't go to the Chat page anyway. So, just fotgot it..

P.S. This question is not concern to Hack Integration. It's conern to the phpMyChat, which I think may be you have answer to my question. Who can you /save command in phpMyChat ? I'm admin, can use it without problem. How about other registered users, can they use /save command ? I ask this because when they issue the /save command, the chat just show another windows of the same chat screen.

Thanks

Stasik

07-27-2001, 09:40 AM

i dont know about save command, ask one of your members

Sukij

08-01-2001, 01:43 AM

HI..

Come back agin for one question.

If users have already registered with the vBulletin, and if they go to the Chat, can they create/join the private room with the /JOIN command ?

My current situation now is the vBulletin Registered Users cannot crate their own private room, only Admin now can create the private room. If they try to create the private room, the pop up windows will show that they are not registered. Since this integration hack is integrate with VB database, so it should recognize the the Registered User and allow to create the private room. Am I understand correctly ?

Thanks

Stasik

08-01-2001, 09:36 AM

i fear you have right.. :(

Sukij

08-01-2001, 09:41 AM

HI.

Do you mean users will not be able to create the private room even they are registered users of VB ?

Stasik

08-01-2001, 09:44 AM

yes, if u cant allow the unregistered users to create own rooms it is impossible

ethank

08-05-2001, 08:25 PM

Hack seems to work, but I can't login with the admin user. I made sure the password was set the same as it was in VBulletin, but it won't take it.

Hi everyone. I was as frustrated as many people about this phpMyChat hack. It works well, but I had to dig for 2 days to figure out how to integrate both vBulletin and phpMyChat together and not having all the code to add for both programs! Well, I have compiled 2 hacks...this one and Tom's forum index hack for phpMyChat. Plus I added a section of a couple of changes I made to make it more "user friendly". Read it once, read it twice, make sure you know what you want to add/change, then go do it!

hi,
find the text

replace it with

{
$PASSWORD="1";
}

and change "Admin" and "Admin2" to registered user names

macom

08-09-2001, 09:41 AM

TXH for the fast request...

I have replace the text in the "index.lib.php3"... but it dont works ? Sorry for my bad english...

What can i do now ??

Stasik

08-09-2001, 11:10 AM

Da bracuchst du dich nicht zu entschuldigen *g*...

was hast du genau gemacht? beschreib ma?

macom

08-09-2001, 11:30 AM

also ich habe den text in der index.lib.php3 so wie beschrieben angepasst... im forum bin ich selber als "macom" registiert... der admin account in phpMyChat heist auch "macom" ich denke soweit ist auch richtig... den für mich alleine funktioniert das auch ganz gut... so jetzt soll aber der forums co admin auch bei eintritt in den chat den status admin haben... und hier fangen die probleme an...

Ich habe auch schon via phpadmin auf der mysql datenbank im table "c_reg_users" einen zweiten account "Steven" mit gleichem passwort wie bei "macom" angelegt... dann komme ich aber selber nicht mehr rein?? Jetzt weis ich nicht mehr weiter...

Stasik

08-09-2001, 02:35 PM

dis acoouns auf vb muessen lauten: macom und Steven

versuch ma

if($U != "macom" or $U != "Steven")
{
$PASSWORD="1";
}

wenn es nicht klappt

if($U == "macom" or $U == "Steven")
{
}
else
{
$PASSWORD="1";
}

aber das erste code mus gehen

macom

08-09-2001, 04:31 PM

Ok, werd ich gleich mal testen...
Was ich jetzt aber immer noch nicht weis... brauche ich in der table "c_reg_users" einem zweiten Admin account für Steven? Wen ja, wie generiere ich dann ein passwort (wegen verschüsselung)?

Danke schon mal im voraus...

Stasik

08-09-2001, 05:51 PM

du muss einfach maeinen user hinfuegen und in tabelle unter "right" oder so was "admin" schreiben

macom

08-09-2001, 06:41 PM

Hab noch mal nachgesehen?

Laut Setuproutine von myphpchat darf nur ein Admin vorhanden sein? der steht dann in dem Table ?c_reg_users? also bleibt nur der Table ?c_users?? hier darf ich aber keinen eintragen weil sonst der login in den Chat nicht mehr funktioniert (Username schon vergeben) ist mir auch klar, weil der Chat holt sich ja den User vom Board und tr?gt in dann in ?c_users? ein.

Wenn Steven eingeloggt ist kann ich mittels phpmyadmin im Table ?c_users? den Status auf admin oder mod setzen? diese Routine ist aber sehr unpraktisch und ich bin ja nicht immer zur selben zeit online. Ich hoffe du verstehst mich jetzt besser.
Oder mache ich doch noch etwas falsch :confused:

Ist es eventuell m?glich einen Table vom Board so anzupassen das dass Board beim Login in den Chat gleich die richtigen Parameter (admin, mod) an den Table ?c_users? ?bergeben kann?

Von der logischen Seite k?nnte ich mir das schon vorstellen, aber ob dies umsetzbar ist bleibt die Frage?? Ich kenne mich mit mysql und PHP noch nicht so gut aus? Es w?re aber echt super, dann h?tte gleich jeder Mod. vom Board auch den richtigen Status im Chat.

macom

08-09-2001, 07:00 PM

Hab jetzt noch im Table "user" vom Board nachgesehen... dort gibt einen Eintrag "usergroupid" und nat?rlich auch den passenden Status dazu, leider nur als Nummer... 6 = Admin usw... kann man da net was machen?? Ich hoffe mal das Dir was Gutes dazu einf?llt. ;)

I've done the steps specified. I cannot seem to figure out what goes in the chat.php element (or is it a template?)

It seems that I cannot get anything other than a blank page when I select my chat button from the VB index.php....

the base install of chat was functional, and my problems came when I tried to integrate it, which I KNOW is a user error!!

I followed a thread http://vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21329&highlight=phpmychat which talks about a chat.php, but i'll be dogone'ed if I can find an example!

HELP!!! I see too many people who say "They got it", so I know I've done something stupid, or I'm just being dense!!!

Alert ---> Old Mainframer doesn't get this one!!!

Stasik

08-12-2001, 09:36 PM

no... the thread is talking about the file index.lib.php3 in the /chat/lib/ derictory...

bitbender

08-12-2001, 10:21 PM

ok, so is that where the link on the chat button points to ??

Stasik

08-13-2001, 07:24 AM

no, the link poins to index.php3, but this file uses /lib/index.lib.php3

bitbender

08-13-2001, 10:53 AM

Yes. The reason I asked was that I had tried that b4. When I point it(chat button) at /chat/index.php, I'm redirected back to the forum home page, as if the user had joined, and then left chat. I then tried index.lb.php3, but get a blank screen.

This is because of the hack that was added to index.php3 via the thread I mentioned before. It dicussed your hack and two other parts, which affected index.php in the VB forum directory, and
index.php3, and index.lib.php3, and exit.php3 for myphpchat.

thank you for your time. I will continue to analyze my setup. I am still thinking that I have the hack in VB INDEX.PHP misplaced. I tried to represent the variable ($numchatusers) on the home page via the forum_loggedinusers template, and got a blank field display for my efforts. That would indicate to me the code isn't being executed where it needs to.

I placed the hack at the very end of index.php in the VB forum directory. One of the other reasons I know I've something out or ordung is that the chat doesn't open in a seperate window, as the hack documentation indicated it should.

Help This old fool, please :confused:

"Dunka" for the reply stasik! :)

Update:

Ok, so I go back and study the whole thing again. I found that I had made some errors, so I restored all the files modified as a result of the hack (backups are great!!), and started again, 1 step at a time.

What my problem is now, is that I cannot figure out (I got PHP manual, 2) if the path specified in index.lib.php3 of phpmychat is absoulte or relative.

In reading thru all the pages in this post and other related threads(mentioned above) I saw where you assisted *skull* using what appeared to be absolute path names. Was this because his chat directory was at the same level as his forum directory ? I noticed you had him change some other options, as well...

Why is this a question? Because it is failing trying to retrieve global.php on the require("./global.php") statement after the chdir("\usr\prod\") statement in my version of index.lib.php3.

Can you advise?

bitbender

08-15-2001, 04:19 PM

In my zeal to post a reply, I forgot the error response !

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='') in D:\????\????\phpchat\chat\lib\index.lib.php3 on line 91

I put the ???? in, as I don't publicize my directory structures.

The chat button on the home page links to \phpchat\chat\index.php3 as you had indicated in an earler post, and looking at chat_activity.php, also from an earlier reference in this thread.

ok ok! I am closer--it seems to work fine except I still can't exit. I read and re-read everything, but I must be doing something wrong. It keeps redirecting me to the chat. and i set the

Could you toss me a working exit.lib.php3?

Hi Stasik,

first, thanks for this hack! :) I hope I'll be able to give something back to the community of vbhackers.

And here is my question:

I don't get it working. I can't get rid of the "no".

What I did:

First I installed the chat in a second database, so now i use the same as vbulletin.

I've set "Registration of users" to:
define("C_REQUIRE_REGISTER", '0');
define("C_EMAIL_PASWD", '0');

I've got clean tables. Just myself in "c_reg_users" with the same password and the same username as in my forum.

In index.lib.php3 I configured:

chdir("/homepages/htdocs/forum/");
require("./global.php4");
chdir("/homepages/htdocs/chat/");

I cleaned all my cookies, reloged in again and again, but I can't get rid of the "no". Why?

Please help. I've been searching for ages... ;)

dbdb

Ps: I am able to login admin.php3, but there are no rooms listed (to clean up).

PS: I had phpmychat working before, but did a clean install.

dbdbdbdb

11-11-2001, 09:33 AM

Good Morning!

Does anybody have a clue? Some of you got it up and running, but you do not read this thread i guess... : domage.

11-12-2001, 07:10 PM

Have you tried doing this?
Q: I`m getting "no" every time.
A: You need to upgrade a cookie option in your VB control panel. Write under: Options->Change Options->[HTTP Headers and output]->Cookie Domain your domainname ONLY (blabla.com).

11-12-2001, 07:11 PM

Btw, to anyone who is using phpyMyChat, is there any way to change the default chat color from black? which CSS or php file should I change?

I wanna use it with the main frame on a black background, which unfortunately makes the text invisible coz it defaults to black... Thanks in advance...

there is a file: config/style.css.php3

search for:
BODY.mainframe
{
font-family: arial;
background-color: #8D8D8D;
color: #000000;
font-size: <?php echo($medium); ?>pt;
font-weight: 400;
margin: 5px;
}
you can replace color in color: #000000;

First.. make sure, cookies can work on your chat domain (better you use same domain name as forum)
Second: make sure vb saves cookies....

What type of admin functions can be done in this chat room?

Can moderators ban users? Edit things?

When I go into admin.php3, should all my users show up there as registered users? It is empty?

thanksa

11-18-2001, 05:19 PM

click the "?' in chat

What about the users, should they show up?

webhost

11-18-2001, 05:26 PM

As far as users that have logged into your forum then when they go into the chat room then yes there name should should show up in chat like ours did when we were there. I don't believe however that the user names will showup in the chat admin panel, Don't see how they can because they do not show up in the chat user table anymore because you are now using the forum user table.

My chat index.php3 page comes up blank when I add the first bit of the hack to index.lib.php3. If I remove the hack I get the login screen.

Ive attached the index.lib.php3 bit that's the problem (although I've renamed them to php it doesn't really matter as the error was the same when it was php3)

Hello, can someone help.

Guest0321

11-29-2001, 05:11 AM

OK, here is what I've done. I've created a separate script for phpMyChat and vBulletin integration. It includes the hacks discussed here, and should work well for more people. I've made a few small enhancements, and added a few installation notes.

Some points of interest.
1) These files are all .php extensions.
2) No chat registration exists, including administration. You can create rooms in the setup, but that's it. No private rooms, no banning, etc. That's because the setup that works for me has the "no registration" option on. So if you can handle that, this should work.
3) I can answer the questions I can, but not detailed specifics on phpMyChat or vBulletin.
4) I don't have CVS available for any fixes or changes, if I update anything, I'll post it here.
5) This is of course, an unofficial release of the phpMyChat script, but I've left all documentation intact.

Thanks to phpProbe, Tom, phpMyChat, and vBulletin for great hacks and products.

You can download the zip file here:
