Hi,

A quick intro. I am brand newbie to vBulletin and paid for my license tonight. I have tried to install this but it won't work.

The page just comes up blank and if I change the path testing various possiblies it mostly give me the not found error. Any ideas? I am running vBulletin on a win2k machine, might this be the issue?

I would really appreciate any help you could give.

I have installed this hack but when you try to load it it seems to "pause" for ages then comes up with :

Closing Link ...blah blah.. (USER: bad username)

Any ideas ?

To solve the error in the login, in the chat template change the line

<param name="username" value="$bbuserinfo[username]">

to

<param name="username" value="javauser">

or put your site name or something there instead of "javauser"....

What exactly does this do? The reason I ask is it my chat works great for my admin name and for other's so far. But, I have a regular user account so I can view the board as a regular user. When I try to chat with my "Mike's Dad" as my user name, it first gives me a user name taken, then all subsequent nick changes result in the error message given above, bad user name. I am going to try what you said above, but what exactly is the problem? I'm just interested.

Some characters can not be used in usernames. I don't know about the requirements for this particular chat, but if a name contains invalid characters then you will not get into chat.

Well that was something I overlooked, the apostraphe is invalid. Any suggestions on how to work the apostraphe? Can these be masked out or something? Thanks in advance, if all else fails I can edit members user names and make a note when registering not to use ' in the user name. Currently out of about 450, only 14 member names have the invalid charachter.

[edit] I figured out how to strip the apostraphe using the str_replace, but now I seem to get the apostraphe stripped and it only uses the first part of the user name, ie. Mike's Dad is Mikes. Here is my chat.php

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

error_reporting(7);



require('./global.php');



$chatusername=str_replace(" ","_",$bbuserinfo[username]);

$chatusername=str_replace("'","",$bbuserinfo[username]);



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



?>

I am using the the Sylverdale forumchat template with the chatusername replacements. Yes I am learning on the fly. ;)

Well, look at your code:

the first "$chatusername=..." line, what does this do? It looks at $bbuserinfo[username] (Mike's Dad), replaces each space with an underscore, and then stores the edited value in $chatusername (Mike's_Dad)

The second line again looks at $bbuserinfo[username] (Mike's Dad), removes each apostrophe, and the stores the edited value in $chatusername (Mikes Dad), overwriting the already existing value of Mike's_Dad :(
Since the first value was overwritten, $chatusername now has a value of "Mikes Dad".
Your chat only accepts the first part, before the space, meaning "Mikes Dad" will be logged in as "Mikes".

Back to the drawing board ;)

Hell'o there. Many thanx for that great and easy hack.

BUT I'M STILL WONDERING...

Is there a way to have an "Who's chatting on line" list
for that ?
