Hi,

I'm having problems integrating Blab Chat 5 into my vB4 Suite installation following these instructions:

HOW TO EMBED BLAB IN VBULETIN 4

1) Go to vBulletin -> Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> SELECT: EDIT TEMPLATES -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> NAVBAR

2) look for:

<li class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a>


and replace it with:

<li id="blab_forum" class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a>


3) Look for:
{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_end}


and after it copy/paste:
<li id="blab_chat"><a href="forum.php?blab=1" class="navtab">Chat</a></li>


4) look for:

</div><!-- closing div for above_body -->


and exactly above it copy/paste:

<script type="text/javascript">
burl=window.location.toString();
if(burl.indexOf('blab=1')!=-1){
document.writeln('<iframe src="blab/index.php" border="0" frameborder="0" style="width:100%;height:400px;border-width:0px"></iframe>');
document.getElementById('blab_chat').className='se lected';
document.getElementById('blab_forum').className='' ;
}else{document.write('&nbsp;');}
</script>


where blab/index.php is URL or a relative path to your chat.

SAVE

I simply can't find half of the strings that need to be altered. Last time i successfully managed to do this was when i was running vB Suite 4.0.8 (i think) This makes me think that the template code has changed since then and that is why i can't find the necessary strings.

Does anyone here have any idea about this ? I have sent a support ticket to the creator of the software aswell, but i'd like to know if anyone on here can help me out :)

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Regards,

Iain

In step 2, I think the string to look for has changed to this:
<li class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="{vb:link forumhome}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a>

So, just add the id into that line.

The lines to look for in step 3 and 4 are in the default template.
