IS it {ossible to make the CHAT appear Under your forum???? so when users log into the forum the chat would be below it???

This may sound simple to most, but how do you add a link in my site to the chat.php file? Where do you do this and how do I add a button to my page? Sorry guys but I am somewhat new to this.

you can add it anywhere u want in the header or where ever your buttons are located.

Thanks, that works but I am now getting a connection error. I can connect if I just use the link from my browser, but when integrated into my site, I get this error:

Unable to Connect
Server is teporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

As I said, this works fine in a browser but not from the site. I am using the professional version of Raidersoft.

Here is my chatbit template:

<applet codebase="http://freechat.raidersoft.com" archive="scclient4.zip" code="Client.class" width=$setwidth height=$setheight
<param name="port" value="45007">
<param name="room" value="my code is here">
<param name="canvaslength" value="1000">
<param name="USERNAME" value="$username">
</applet>

I think you mean under the forum on the main index page. Yes, it's possible, but people have a habit of passing by the index page a lot of times when visiting your forums. Meaning that they would log in and out each time they visit and leave the index. Believe me, that wouldn't make it much fun for those who are chatting. You can work with frames maybe.


And beemer, are you behind a firewall or proxy? If so then TCP ports 80 and 45007 need to be open on the firewall/proxy. Do you have an url to your forum? PM the url (and a test account) if you don't wish to go public with that info.

Oh, and when adding a button, I don't think it would be nice to link to the one at vbulletin.org (bandwidth stealing)
Create your own button on your own site and use that one :)

Wot-Mike, the hack does work when using my browser, it just doesn't work when I use the link I created in my site. I am not using a firewall or proxy. I will create test account so you can see what I am doing.

Just send you a reply PM :)

*crosses fingers*

Oh, currently this mod checks for a valid vBulletin username.

Guests will be redirected to a login page when trying to enter chat, but any valid member will be given access. There's no support for seperate usergroups (yet?)

WEll On the Main index page Couldnt you make the CHAT POP UP??? is that possible? So they wouyld have a BOX opened and be free to surf the net.
