When I use the <applet> code in this hack, it just hangs up. Keeps trying to dowload...When I just use the multicity <applet> it's no problem. Anybody have any ideas for me?

This is cool, thanks :)

2 questions.

How do you get it to show online uses? I do have vb 2.03 and it doesn't show. Is there a code to insert in loggedonusers?.

And when clicking on "disconnect" it doesn't go to the forums, just to a part having "guest' on it to log back into chat.

I very much want this to work, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'll go over the steps I did:

I'm running vB 2.03

1) got a multicity account (free)

2) created a new template and called it "chat_hack" and pasted the code that Mark0380 suggested (of course, I used my own multicity account)

Looks like this:

Code:

Then, I created a file, calling it "chat.php" and uploaded it into my vB main directory. That file looks like this:

Code:

<??



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







if(?$bbuserid?)?{?







$user?=?$DB_site->query_first(?"SELECT?username?



FROM?user?



WHERE?userid?=?$bbuserid"?);?



$bbusername?=?$user[?username?];?



eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('chat_hack')."\");");?



}?else?{?



eval("dooutput(\"".show_nopermission()."\");");?



}?// end if 



?>

When I call the script, I get a blank page:
http://www.curvemag.com/speak/chat.php

Any suggestions? Is it clear what i might be doing wrong?

You also need to take a look at some of the parameters that you're specifying near the end of the chat room coding from Multicity. This is what I have:

Thanks Rob,

Can you or anyone tell me if my parameters are correct? It seems most weird that the page is BLANK.

also, the chat.php page that I created and uploaded to the vb main directory:

does anything look worng?

Out of curiosity, has this chat room worked for you before incorporating it into this hack?

Anyone know how I could put what people are in the chatroom in forumhome??

Say under current users...

----
Forum: username, username2
Chat: username, username2
----

etc?

Nope. I've been wanting to do this for a while. I believe someone has a hack that will work with JIRC only to do just that.

Rob,

Well, I have gone to multicity and opened the chat. I clicked on the chatroom and it opens a chat window. I am the only person in it, however.

The weird thing is that chat.php opens a completely blank page. I ahev gone over the steps over and over again. In chat.php, there is just that little bit of code that i wrote above. Is that it? Was there something implied that I am not understanding?

arg.

RobAC

08-06-2001 07:19 PM

Well, I think your problem is the type of chat room you're running. The code that I'm using, I purchased from Multicity and I see minor differences between your chat room code and mine. My code was made to run on my web site in an html document. All the coding with the hack between your version and my version is exactly the same. The differences I'm seeing lie in the java coding for your chat room.

Evoir

08-06-2001 07:27 PM

hmmm.

I haven't paid yet casue they offer a free version and I thought I'd try it.

I loaded the chat stuff on an html page and it works just fine:
http://www.curvemag.com/chat.html

It seems like there is something wrong with my chat.php file. :(

RobAC

08-06-2001 07:34 PM

Let me try something...hold on.

RobAC

08-06-2001 07:38 PM

I have to be honest with you, I can't find anything wrong. Go here: http://corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/chat2.php

RobAC

08-06-2001 07:40 PM

Nevermind, you won't be able to enter because you're not a member of my forums. I used my chat.php file and your chat room code and plugged it in and it worked for me. Here is my chat.php file for your reference:

PHP Code:


		
			
? 

require( "global.php" ); 



if( $bbuserid ) { 



$user = $DB_site->query_first( "SELECT username 

FROM user 

WHERE userid = $bbuserid" ); 

$bbusername = $user[ username ]; 

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('chat2_hack')."\");"); 

} else { 

eval("dooutput(\"".show_nopermission()."\");"); 

} // end if 

?>

Change the chat2_hack to chat_hack

Evoir

08-06-2001 07:44 PM

I get a big blank page. Is that what you get?

I am able to see the chat via a plain html page, but when I try accessing it through the php file, I get nothing. Even on the above link running on your board. Hmmmph.

RobAC

08-06-2001 07:46 PM

Nope, I'm in the room right now.

What are you using for a web browser? Version?

RobAC

08-06-2001 07:49 PM

I get a blank page in Netscape Navigator, but it works in IE. There is definitely a problem with Multicity's code because my forum's chat room runs in Netscape and your's won't and both the the hack coding is the same , but the chat room code that we're using isn't. That's the only thing I can come up with.

Evoir

08-06-2001 07:49 PM

IE 5 for Mac

also tried it on Netscape 4.7

no luck.
I was able to get into your chat.php room, just no the chat2.php

weird. weird.

Evoir

08-06-2001 08:35 PM

Makes sense. Thanks for all your help, Rob.
Do you like how multicity works? Is it worth the monthly fee?

RobAC

08-06-2001 09:38 PM

It's ok, and my members are somewhat happy with it, but I find that it hesitates a lot. All of a sudden it will stall and a ton of messages will appear in the chat window.

Has anyone's chatroom just stopped working??
Mine has - the applet wont load... it will say done in the status bar - and that's it - just a grey box where the applet should be loaded to...

Or is it me... dunno....

Steve Machol

09-01-2001 02:07 AM

I just checked mine and it's working fine.

rockergrrl

09-01-2001 02:11 AM

hmmmm....

I thought it might've been the java conflict with XP, etc on my computer... But I was chatting with one of my members on Messenger tonight, and I made her check..and it wasn't running for her - and he's using Win98.

I don't know why its not working... it was working before... not its not...

*sigh*

I use this one, too. I like it. :)

11-29-2001 09:23 PM

did you figure a way around the disconnect problem?

I'm not sure what you mean by the disconnect problem. Can you elaborate?

JTMON

11-29-2001 10:00 PM

Currently, if a user clicks the disconnect button, it will vring them back to a login where they can put any name in they want. I sent a support ticket into the multicity and am waiting to hear if it can be disabled somehow.

FWC	11-29-2001 10:13 PM

OK, I didn't really worry too much about that because they had to be registered to get in at all. I would also like to be able to disable the invite and view other chat buttons. Let me know what you find out.

JTMON

11-29-2001 10:16 PM

He posted some code earlier in this thread for the other chats problem. You can change it so it just goes to your homepage :D

I've had it set that way the whole time and it doesn't work. :(

11-29-2001 10:48 PM

I just checked mine and I don't have a view other chat button. I do have the invite one though

FWC	11-29-2001 10:51 PM

No active chats button? I wish I could say the same. :)

I'm getting this same problem. Actually, one moment it will work fine. The next it shows the grey box. Any figure this one out?

JTMON

01-16-2002 05:18 PM

Same issue here, and as an added bonus, I have one user who gets a no permission page yet I don't even use access masks and he's a registered user! :frus:

Steve Machol

01-16-2002 06:20 PM

Mine stopped working too. What happens is that the page keeps contstantly reloading for some reason. I even downloaded the latest code from chat code Multicity.com but that didn't help.

Dex	01-19-2002 05:57 AM

I really think this is a great hack. But it's just too easy to log on with a name other than the real VB login.

Did anybody find out how to remove that darn disconnect button yet?

Another thing is that people from somewhere else are dropping in. It says that the chat can be made private in the helpfile pages somewhere, but I wasn't able to find out how. There's no such option available.

Any input would be greatly appreciated !!
