I being evaluating Chats and I think will go the digichat way after comparing it with userplane and chatblazer. I like the fact that it is skinnable but I will like to know what is the feature that put digichat above the other options.

BTW Pseudomizer great hack, I noticed that you are very active at digichat forum, do you work for the company, I ask you this because I will like to know if there will always be support for your hack, I don't want to find myself in the future with a none working chat. :squareeyed:

Sorry, but I do not understand your question. What do you mean with "feature that put digichat above the other options"?

I am giving support on the DigiChat forum from end user to end user. I do NOT work for Digi-Net or DigiChat. I am moderating their forum and I get the latest releases for testing from DigiChat. In Germany we say "one hand washes the other".

And to answer your question regarding support: I will support all my hacks but this is my hobby. So when I have time I am creating new features and functions and I share my work with other people. To give you an example with VBulletin 3.5. I am waiting for the final release and then I will start creating my new hack for DigiChat Integration. I will need some Beta testers again and then I will go out of Beta as soon as all bugs and errors are removed. Nobody is perfect. I think this should answer your question about support.

Cheers,

Excuse me If I didn't explain myself, let's make it simply, my question will be: Why should I use digichat? is it have more options? if you compare it with userplane or chatblazer what will give digichat the edge?

Hello juanchi,

please do not ask me what chat version you should take. I am not here to promote any product neither do I talk negatively about any other product. I am offering a hack for people who want to integrate DigiChat with VBulletin. If you need arguments which product you should buy then please talk to sales represenatatives from each chat software provider.

Regardless of which solution you take I can tell you that any self hosted solution needs additional software for Audio/Video which is expensive and not easy to setup. Most of these solutions rely on the Macromedia Communication Server for the Audio/Video part. You can look up this pricing on their webpage. Or you go with a hosted solution, so you do not have to hassle with anything like that. All of the chats which you mentioned before offer a hosted solution.

Now it is up to you which one you take or you can afford. ;-)

Cheers,

Thanks, understood.

Hey Pseudomizer,

I helped you beta test your last DigiChat integration (a.k.a. Markus) and contacted you mainly through the DigiChat Community Forum.

We're ready to install VB3.5 now that it has gone gold and would love to install your hack.

Where are you in terms of the process of integrating your hack into VB3.5Gold? Any estimated time untill a beta release? Is this requring you to rewrite a lot of the code in order to integrate it with VB3.5Gold? Just curious.

Willing to help you out whenever you're ready.

Thanks,

Markus

Hello Oraos,

my schedule was to release a new update end of october. But due to my new job which requires a relocation from Germany to US, I will not have any time to work on this until I have settled down and having organized my new private and business life.

I am targeting end of october for the relocation and I will not be able to do any work on this until mid of november. Honest estimate? I will not be able to provide any new release until end of december.

But just to tell you what I am targeting to add to the new release:

- implementing DigiChat into an embedded HTML window with frames
- implementation of additional frame on the right with deep vbulletin integration for user profiles and if possible with user profile pics
- integration of smilie page in right frame for easier use of smilie code lookup
- pop-up description of upcoming security changes within DigiChat (optional)
- implementation of a banner rotation system in frame (tentative)
- integration of additional Bots from third party and not for free (pending)

That's my current update. Hope this helps for your planning.

Cheers,

Thanks for the update. The new features sound interesting. Best of luck with your move to the US.

Hello,

due to the severe security issues since October 2005 and not having received any fix from Digi-Net yet, I will shut down ALL my 3xDigiChat Enterprise servers.

I will discontinue the support for this hack as of today and good luck that your sites don't get hacked. I am done with Digi-Net and I will also will discontinue to give support in the Digi-Net community forum.

Best regards,

I am getting the following error :

do you know what that is?


also for your table names you dont prefix them ... so if I used a prefix for my board the hack wont work without either renaming the tables or changing the code.
