I've now got this installed and working with VB3 Gold. Only problem is that it's not recognising moderators and admins in the chat room.

If you followed the instructions correctly, then you shouldn't see the login screen unless your forum username matches one that you registered in your RaiderSoft control panel.

Glad to see you've got it working. The chat room won't recognise moderators or admins - you need to give them accounts via the RaiderSoft control panel. You can either give them new passwords or ask them to send you their vB passwords - you can then set them up with identical accounts at RaiderSoft. This means that when a moderator or admin visits the room they will be prompted for a login. It also means they can kick, ban, etc. If you need help with this then PM me :)

What do you mean by behind? Can you PM me with your site address etc. so I can see this problem - I've disabled pop-up menus on my site.

This is an issue with the applet and not with this hack. Check RaiderSoft's web page for details on how to fix the firewall issue.

When I tried to set up identical accounts in the raidersoft control panel, it wouldn't let VB users login to the chat room.

Thanks

If you had a moderator on your forum called 'Bill' and his password was 'apples' then you need to enter these details in to the 'Users' section of your RaiderSoft control panel. When 'Bill' visits the chat room, he will then be presented with a login screen (rather than being taken direclty in to chat). All he needs to do is enter his username and password (i.e. 'Bill' and 'apples'). Basically it requires him to login twice for security.

Hope this helps.

/me installs.

Is there anyway to get the Who's Online module working with this?

First thanks for the hack. I "installed" it and it works great.

Just a minor detail: because of the nature of the sigma chat vs. the vbulletin system, users are indeed able to login to the chat with usernames different than their own.

Say you enter your chat at http://www.example.com/forum/chat.php
Then you open a new window in your web browser, and enter the chat again [in this new window (staying logged in in the first window)]. You'll now be kicked from the chat because the "default" [chat-]username is already in use, and be prompted to log in to the chat. Hence you can enter with another user's username (or they can just log-out of the chat)...

[this is possible because the PHP-script wont reload, the things done are done "in the java-applet"]

Hi, you can fix that issue quite easily. Basically you can alter the 'kick' page in your SigmaChat control area. I set my 'kick' page to my forum home page - this means if someone opens a new window, the first one will kick them back to the home page.

Go to your Sigma control panel > web sites > settings > exit url

Hope that helps.
