Please, please!! thank you guys so much!!

What I am trying to accomplish is that when users login to our site through the forum, when they go to the Chat button it will do a popup like this. I have a contact who did this but cannot get ahold of him on how to do this. Here's the popup:

How can I get it so I can do a graphical window as such with jIRC integration and also be able to pull a banner in at the bottom??

I have these changes already but still doesnt work, :( ant suggestions.

I have vb and phportals installed on my board, the hack works great and have had only one issue.

if ur on the vbportal page and click the link i only get a blank window, if ur on the forums page, it works fine..

i seen in the chat.php it makes its call to the global.php file of vb, now seeing as vbportal dont use this in its directory, is there a way to include it?

other people have had problems with this hack and vBPortal. i have always referred them to www.phpportals.com for help.

however...

if the chat php files are not in the forum directory then you should be able to use a chdir line at the top of the script to make it so the script is executed from the forum directory:

by adding this line below the first <?php line at the top it will allow you to run the file from any directory and the global.php include will always work. if this doesn't work then the problem must be with vBPortal... perhaps vBPortal does something differently that this hack doesn't like. i couldn't say. all i know is this hack works fine with vBulletin version 2.2.1 through 2.2.6 . it should work ok with any version of 2.0 but it hasn't been tested on those earlier versions.

the files are in the forum directory already, i will try what you suggest though, thanx

Love this hack. Working beautifully and am about to try your 'who in chat' hack. Got one teensy little prob tho.......

For some reasons, Mac users - using IE5.1 and 5.5 do not get the applet loading properly in the normal popup. Think it has something to do with the percentages - I customized the table so it resized the whole thing in IE, when make window tiny the table goes tiny too without any need to scroll to see things. But that doesn't work in Mac versions (or in NS6 on PC). So we put a script at top of page redirecting to a Mac friendly version if it recognised the browser was on a Mac.

Now, I pasted that script into the chatmain template, but tho it still redirected fine, it doesn't include that page as part of the intergration. So I'm figuring maybe I need to add the script to the chatmain.php, (converted to php?) so it will load either 'chatmain', or the 'chatmac' template for the mac version, in the popup.

What would be the code - I assume it'll go before the ''gettemplate chatmain'' - to assess whether the browser is on a Mac? Could I use the java script I used on the html page in the chatmain.php or do the two not mix? This is the previous code we used:

//var myURL = "url of the alternate Mac html";
//if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" &&
//navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") != -1 ) {
//location = myURL; }

Thanx for any help. :)

Installed on 2.2.7, modified quite a bit. Working well, thanks. :)

I have this working in Vbportal with VB 2.29. Lots of modifications were needed. Users in chat show in the forums and I am now working a mod to get it to show up on the VBportal home page.

How'd you get it working, GW? I'm still on 2.2.8 but it's not working on my forums and buggered if I know how to get it onto my vBHome page (scrapped vBPortal in favor of vBHome - far less resource hungry and much more customizable!).

Ive made a few modifications to the Chatmain template to give a few smilies and buttons like the hack available for UBB...

I dont know if anyone is interested but if anyone is this is what I changed :) You might need to make a few adjustments, anyway just trying to help :)

found my own solution.

in my online.php under line 258 :

$userinfo[where] = "Enter Chat";

change to :

$userinfo[where] = "name anything you wish to see on online page";

and line 598 :

case 'chat.php':

change to :

case 'chatmain.php':

:tired:

check this out, I have modified Jakeman codes to be used on vb3 :
