hmmm i am not to sure on what you mean..
please ask again with some detail

If you login to the chat with a nick name that has non-english charecters, you get an error. (erronous nick)

using vb2 b4.1 - got it to work fine BUT will not grab the username from the forum after logging in

changed $bbusername to $username - still no joy

what could it be ?

I have setup the room using a standard username for now - if someone could re-write this to work with VB2 b4.1 I would be very grateful

// You may want to edit some of the PARAMs of the Chat applet
if ($page == "client") {
if ($bbusername != "") {
$num = $bbusername ;
}
if ($bbusername == "") {
$filename = "chat_count.txt";
$contents = file($filename);
$length = strlen($contents);
$number = 0;
$count = 0;
$num = $guestnick.$length ;
$handle= fopen($filename,'a+');
$string = "+";
fputs($handle, $string);
fclose($handle);
}

i would check this line over i am not to sure on what vb2 uses for sesion id's maybe look through for the who;s online script and see what it uses for the id $string
not to sure maybe a vb2 guy would check into this

i beleave irc its self doesn't allow caracters like what your talking about

not a prob in the script but maybe in the irc server its self
i will check into this
but i am sure i am correct on that

That what I thought before. But freddie did modify *something* that enabled non-english charecters, and I did try it.

give me a example of a nickname that will be entered

i am thinking it might be a font issue is why

Yes i've looked into all this and the string is $username - but keeps saying no nickname entered

even if I set my own temp string for testing still does it - only lets me enter a name manually

this is a great intergration and someone should look at doing it for vb 2 :)

i've done it !

the string is $bbuserinfo[username]

and i've also implemented a live room into the index.php under the PM section - check it out at http://digitalforums.com :D
