i have seen this done before it is possible... but i suspect its complicated.

can you access chatmaster on a linux server? if not how do you administer digichat ?

you can access it remotely ? such as accessing chatmaster on my windows computer to get it to communicate with the linux server ...?

Hello pagekeeper,

this is totally independant of the operating system. The chat will run on the same or on a remote machine and you can administer everything remotely. You have to create the corresponding accounts in the DigiChat Admin GUI.

What you are talking about is, to run a remote shell script which uses the commander function ( only if you have licensed the commander feature ) to create these accounts in the DigiChat application with the corresponding rights.

This is a loooot of work to offer a premium service for some members and these premium members will have a blue color in chat. So you will have no way to differenciate between chatmaster accounts who can kick users and premium users. This will cause more confusion then it would help you. I would NOT recommend to go for this configuration.

But if you are interested in this, please read the DigiChat Manual. The section Commander function explains all remote features.

Cheers,

I've installed your wonderful hack with success, and I'm really impressed with it. However, I've got a problem whereby I had VBChat installed first. VBChat, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=vbchat works really well, but I like my Digichat much better, especially since I discovered your hack. The problem is now, for some reason, your hack won't work if the VBChat is working. I installed your hack after VBChat (and it worked great), then tried to make VBChat work (was successful, but it disabled your hack. Trying to uninstall VBChat without much success, there was some database modification. For some reason, VBChat has somehow integrated, and interferes, with the Digichat log in through your hack (my regular Digichat log in page works fine; this is just some sort of issue with your hack and VBChat).

My Digichat is at http://x.russbo.com/vb/chat.php Do you have any suggestions?

Appreciate it. Had your integration working, and I absolutely loved it.

OK, figured it out. The VBChat hack overwrites the "chat" template in its automatic install (and calls it CHAT). Got it working again.

Ok.

Cheers,

Good hack, worked fine on my DigiChat v5.0 installation at http://m1.mumsweb.com just had to edit all the applet's so that it directed to the right cab file, then was running swiot :)

Correct. But this is due to the latest updates and you will have to update them again as soon as you install the Flash AV Version of DigiChat. But i would wait until all the small bugs are flushed out.

Enjoy the hack!

P.S.: Be careful with the chat_who if you upgrade DigiChat because the commander has changed and due to this the output as well. I am working on the update of the chat_who template/file.

Cheers,

Have you used digichat 4? Can you compare the two for us? I'm using 4 with this hack, which works superbly by the way. Just wondering.

Was about to get that working but decieded not to yet. Good thing i read this. Looking forward to seeing what you can do in a new template sort of thing (and possibly a CPMS module?)

Matt

I am DigiChat User since Version 2.04. But my first Integration from me was done with 3.5 which was never published. My Version 4 hack was published.

The comparison is very easy:

Version 4:
- vulnerable because User can kick even admins
- can do HTTP Tunneling with Tomcat on Linux

Version 5:
- HTTP Tunneling does not work ( workaround to start chat on port 443 )
- you have an Audio/Video in Chat

Cheers,
