Modification to the jpilot chat hack

[JJR512]

This hack is a modification to Trog's original hack integrating jpilot into vBulletin, as seen here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17866

Basically, all my modification does is removes the necessity of having a whole extra template set just for one modified template. It also makes it very simple to add the chat location to your Who's Online, especially by using FireFly's hack here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32849

I can't really give you a demo, because this hack requires you to be a registered member to enter the chat room. (If you need a version open to anyone, let me know.)

Works great...but $50 for jIRC? I'm broke :(

Are there any other good applets out there that would work with this, and that aren't crap?

I have used this hack (great hack by the way) and I have over 11,000 members. The problem I am having is that a large handfull of members get the "you do not have permission to access" message showing they are in fact logged in

I tried registering an account and did not have that problem. I tried logging in as one of the people haveing the problem and I got the same error they were having.

I tried replacing this:

<?php
require("global.php");



if( $bbuserid ) {

$user = $DB_site->query_first( "SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid = $bbuserid" );
$bbusername = $user[username];
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('main_chat')."\");");
} else {
eval("dooutput(\"".show_nopermission()."\");");
} // end if
?>


with this:

<?php
require("global.php");



if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 11 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 2 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 9) {

$user = $DB_site->query_first( "SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid = $bbuserid" );
$bbusername = $user[username];
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('main_chat')."\");");
} else {
eval("dooutput(\"".show_nopermission()."\");");
} // end if

?>


but that causes a database error only when those members that were have the nopermission page come up before. If I login as the account I registered I didn't get that error but if I logged in as one that was having trouble I get the database error.

A "view sourse" of the error page shows this:
=======================================
<!-- Database error in vBulletin 2.2.1:

any idea why not all registered members are getting that no permission screen and when I set the actual usergroups those same members that have probs the other way get an error and the rest don't?

for those who care

change the content of main_chat.php to

<?php
require("global.php");

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('main_chat')."\");");

?>

now everyone can chat.

I also have a vb portal as my home page and I could do with some help in how to show chat users on my home page.

Cheers

Change the content of main_chat.php to:

<?php
require("global.php");

if( $bbuserid ) {

$user = $DB_site->query_first( "SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid = $bbuserid" );
$bbusername = $user[username];
}

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('main_chat')."\");");

?>

Now the nickname-field is blank if a user is not registered or nor logged in.
Guests now can chat too.
If you are logged in your nick is set automatically.
