Does anyone know how much bandwidth the "who's in chat" cron uses?

Very, very little :) Once a minute your computer sends a single web page request to the SigmaChat server for the list, the size of the response would be less than a kilobyte.

60 per hour x 24 hours x 30 days x 1024 bytes = 44236800

About 40 - 45 megs a month then I guess :)

Figure it can't hurt to ask... is there anything that can be done about losing dynamic nav bar menus behind the chat screen? (when viewed as a forum page) see attached.

Good question. As far as I know, there is no solution that will work correctly on all systems. Most browsers ignore Z order for Java applets. A hack or two has been published to work around this, but everyone that I've seen is usually limited to a single browser. Google it, or download the 3.0.x integration script as the documentation contains a FAQ regarding this.

I'm having a problem with the cronjob ... I think:

I was getting a whole load of "core.xxxxx" files appearing in my forum root (xxxx being a seemingly random number)

These files were roughly 5 megs in size and appearing a couple of times every hour. It seems that they are coredumps generated by the server when a script failed to execute correctly.

Anyway, I removed the 'who's in chat cronjob' and haven't had one since

I've posted in other threads about it:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=990599

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=798184

this is the email I got from my webhost:

Quote:

when a script causes a system error it outputs core files. These are created by the system, but they are caused by a script. I would recommend you make sure your board is up to date and also check your database has no errors. You can remove the core files without any issues!

I emailed them back, told them I was up to date and asked them to supress the errors ... they replied again with:

Quote:

core files are caused by scripts that need extras and they write core files to assit them its normally when they request a lot of services and processes

or that the script colapses due to mad setup or modifcation, but be aware that we have some 3,000 peolpe on the servers using varing versions of VB with no problems

Like I said ... no errors since I removed the scheduled task

hrm? Did you install the script using a standard CRON daemon or something? The script provided is meant for use with VB 3.5's built in psuedo-cron system.

in the installation readme, it states under the "Required to install" section that i need something called Platinum or Enterprise. Is this something i need to purchase or download before installing this? please advise as i am about to install

No, I installed it through the VB 'scheduled tasks' manager as instructed.

I filled up a gigabyte of web space with the things within a couple of days. I didn't even realise what was happening until I got a warning email from my webhost telling me I was running out of space ...

As soon as I removed the task the coredumps stopped ...

I've now modified the install so that users now only see who is online in chat when they click the link

Yes. You'll need to register for a free account at http://www.sigmachat.com/ then upgrade your account to either a Platinum or Enterprise account from your control panel. :)

You won't need installation help ... it's easy to install. My dog could do it.

You can remove all branding too ... you don't even have to use their help files.

This is very nice! Easy to install, doesn't need any mods (love that part) and it works quite well. I'm very pleased with it.

One question though... Where do I fix this "http://www.mydomain.com/forums/" and put my forum's url in so the stuff like profile works?

Integration is working fine. I have a strange issue where when using the "float" option if I just close out the window with the standard windows "X" in the upper right corner, ALL my open IE windows close. Strange as is does not seem to happen if I hit the logout button then close. Any ideas?

EDIT:
Just noticed each time it happens I get a file dumped to my desktop with file names like "hs_err_pid3472.log".

It has a bunch of Java related things in it and the top line is:
An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:

How do I remove guest access from the chat? I've looked in the chat_global.php and changed the following

Code:

# Specify whether or not Guest access will be allowed within your

      # chat room if making use of the remote authentication system. 

      $SIGMACHAT_AUTH_GUEST         = 0;

to both 0 or 1 and guest still have access to the chat room. I have remote authentication turned on.

thanks in advance

Is Sigma no longer supporting this hack? I sent sigma support an email 5 days ago, received a response requesting more info, responded with the additional info, and have not heard back.

I paid for a year of premium service. Not a very nice way to handle support for a paid product.

We have no control over the support an external site give to their products. Please try to work this out with them.

Hi,

Yes, we're still very much supporting this product :) Your eMail never came my way, I'm sorry. I've been out on personal leave for a few weeks now. Please eMail me again at support@raidersoft.com -- mention my name in the eMail and it will be sent directly to me -- and include the following info:

1. Your account number
2. Your version of vBulletin
3. The exact version of the SigmaChat/VB hack you're using -- I strongly recommended the latest release.

:)

No you have to register through Sigma Chat and purchase an platinum or enterprise package. $100 and $135.

I am pointing to the right Sigma Chat room now. The only problem now is that it won't let me autologin. I am "Ken" on my forum, and the same Login with SigmaChat. When I click my "chat" link off my vbulletin website, the chatroom comes up and says the username or password are not correct. I have cross-checked my chat_global.php file with the id's for the user access. Since "Ken" is getting passed, I assume that the password somehow isn't getting passed. I have my Sigma Chat password in the chat_global.php file as well. Also, I have to turn on Guest access so all of the other members on my forum can automatically login to chat. I guess that since they aren't a SigmaChat user then they don't have to put in a password when they click on the link from my site. The only workaround so far is to allow "Guest" access which I don't want to do.

What am I missing concerning the password?

Thanks for the help!
Ken

Mine looks like this:

width="600" height="350" MAYSCRIPT>

<param name="username" value="$SIGMACHAT_LOGIN_USERNAME">
<param name="password" value="$SIGMACHAT_LOGIN_PASSWORD">
<param name="autologin" value="$SIGMACHAT_AUTOLOGIN"></applet>

I have the Password in mine if this is the same code you are talking about. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place though. I'm looking at the sigmachat_embed code.

Thanks for the response. Any clue why the password isn't getting carried over when I log into chat? Did you have any problems initially with that? For now I have Guest turned on so everyone can go straight in with their vBulletin name. I'd love to turn Guest access of though but can't.

I do seem to remember that you need to edit your settings in your Sigma Chat account as well, not just in the config file on your site.

If you've already done this please forgive me... however I find that 9 times out of 10, when I have a problem... I have usually overlooked something basic. I didn't think you mentioned your sigma account settings above, unless I missed it.

Have you logged into your sigma account and gone to "site integration"?

Under "Site Authentication" you must enable Remote Authentication and and specify the URL for it, that is a full path to the chat_auth script at your site.

Also... I believe they have pre-made integration scripts in the "enhancements" section of your sigma chat account panel.

Hope that gets you in the right direction. Grim77 is usually very helpful here... he must be pressed for time lately :)

OK thanks...this is the problem then. I don't have the Platinum or Enterprise edition. I have the one right below the Platinum level. I assume I have to upgrade one more time.

Today I got this error on my board. I use SigmaChat. The problem is severe and needs to be fixed since it keeps anyone from getting to my board.

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.2:
Invalid SQL:
LOCK TABLE scwho WRITE;
MySQL Error : Can't find file: 'scwho.MYI' (errno: 2)
Error Number : 1017

I had to drop the scwho table and turn of SigmaChat count in Vb plugin manager. Is there a permanent fix for this?
