I dont know what is wrong but that template keeps clearing out for me, going blank again. Thus removing the box.

This integration hack is GREAT! Love it.

Using the free version of SigmaChat right now...but with the integration with my board, I'm thinking I'm about to spend $75. :)

If you want to speed this up a bit, make sure to cache the templates.

Add
to in index.php

and
in chat.php add

Before

I've just gone through a good chunk of this code. I'm amazed who's online works at all for anyone. Phrases and Templates were not meant to be updated this way through cron IMHO and the whole approach is very inefficient. The number of queries in the cron file is downright wasteful. It would have been much better, especially with buggy code, to create a totally separate table and update the fields there.

I finally got the Who's Online box showing now but it never shows anyone in chat. Also when I click on Who's Chatting I see this error:Any ideas?? Maybe this has something to do with why its not working?

I also figured something else out. Everytime someone logs into the chat room it clears the whole sigmachat_wc_embedne template (I added the template so it would show the box all the time).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In my opinion, this entire implementation of sigmachat integration should be chucked entirely. I believe it is dangerous to implement. Maybe I'm being overly cautious, but updating the templates and phrases directly on a cron schedule is just not a good idea. As I said before, especially on buggy code, they should have created a table dedicated to whos chatting and update that. So if there's an error or problem, it won't mess up something as integral to vb as the template AND phrase system.

It works if you fix the bugs in their code, but the approach is wrong. I'm amazed that the same people who wrote such a good chat did such a bad job of writing the integration program.

Same problem here

Wots the point in havin a box that disane appear till someone's in chat

isn't the whole point in having a "who's chatting" box is to get people to go into chat?

keeps clearing

otherwise works great :)

Anyone have any ideas??

I've created an addon that will generate a random guest username if you're having problems with "Unregistered" users bumping each other or being denied access when you're using vB authentication. Enjoy ;)

I've installed this, and it works perfectly, apart from the 'who's chatting' bit. I've read thro' this thread a dozen times and whatever I try doesn't work.

Also, I'm a bit concerned by dwh's comments!

What is the current status of this? Is it working for most people?

-V

I'm having a problem with whose chatting page it shows up white with no css

I had some help installing this and it never got finished. Then, the amature I am tried to finish it and killed it. Is there an easy way to uninstall it so I can start over?

I get an error "Applet Halted. This chat room is closed."

But I cant seem to get iot going within the admin control...Newbie I guess but can someone giove me a heads up whats needed to be done. Im running VB3.03 and the free intergrated chat template. I modified everything to a T but still get the error.

any help would be appreciated...

It's been a while since I've posted, sorry :(

dwh has some points. I'm not sure which parts of the code he considers buggy (please pm me any obvious bugs you've noticed and they'll be fixed ASAP) I do agree that the implementation could be more efficient. Using templates/phrases as they are now is a bit of a hack, the purpose being to produce the script quickly (we're not VB coders) without requiring major code changes to the VB core, and without creating dependancies upon certain databases.

That being said, the next version will be a rewrite, and will possibly be only MySQL based with a custom installer and configuration utility.

Most of our customers have little trouble getting it to work. The most common problems are not setting the chat room ID number correctly in the config file, and/or not having the url_fopen option enabled in php.ini (required for Who's Chatting updates)

If you have problems feel free to email support@raidersoft.com -- Providing your chat_global.php file, your SigmaChat account number is always helpful. Sometimes we need admin and ftp access to resolve problems.

Cheers!

Great tool! However, all Admins are showing up as just "Moderator". Here how I have my usergroups:

AUTH_ACCESS = Users (couple of usergroupids)
AUTH_ADMIN = Mods (one usergroupid)
AUTH_GRANT = Admins (one usergroupid)

When Admins log in, they have the AUTH_GRANT powers in the chat room, but on the Who's Chatting module, they're displayed as "Moderators", rather than "Administrator". Thoughts?

Does this work on 3.07?

Apparently, only partly. I'm waiting on my query above.

i just started having problems yesterday, my members used to click the chat link i setup and they autoloaded into the chat. Now I get a popup window and the background window changed dumps to the forum then closes, the chat eventually logs in but something is out of whack. I haven't changed any code, is anyone else having issues?

Hi, I am but I just upgraded from 3.06 to 3.07 and thought that might be the reason.

I'm using firefox and it bombs right out completely with a report error back to firefox as my only window thats left.

It starts with the sigma chat popup window but the forum page in the background also went sigma before it booted out.

the chat code should be ok as the templates are unchanged for the links to chat.

My chat is now working in popup on 3.0.7 but the live version of who is chatting on forum home is gone.

I've checked all code since the upgrade and even re done the code but it still does not show.

This thread is dying a bit, is this chat still supported on 3.0.7 and can anyone confirm if they have a working online?

maybe everyone is moving to VBchat?

I'm due to re-subscribe (I'm paying) and if it isn't going to be supported then I'll be going to something else.

Great hack! I have it installed on 3.0.6 and it's working great. One question, is there any way to portray the user markup in who's chatting on forumhome? Right now, only the admins show up in bold, but do not show the proper color. Please help.

Just installed this and my members love it! I'm running it with 3.07 with no issues :).

I have installed the Chat Room. I purchased the Enterprise Package. When I go to my forum it says I do not have permission to access this page.

ERROR MESSAGE:
you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Did I install something wrong?

Hi, when you click on popup (float), it displays the microstats details at the top.

Anyone know how to remove that?

I'm having problems. I had this working and then made some other changes trying to install another hack and something happened. Now all I get when I try to enter the chat (and all anyone gets) is "invalid username and password" after it attempts to authenticate. I've gone back and reinstalled making sure that everything is as it should be and I still can't get it fixed.

Just to make sure -- are both of you still running vBulletin 3.0, not 3.5 or 3.6?

Either way, I'd recommend submitting a support ticket by emailing support@addonchat.com with your account ID number and a URL (include a valid username/password if required) so we can look into this :)

For those of you who have recently upgraded to vBulletin v3.7, we have a release-candidate integration script for AddonChat available for download at http://forums.addoninteractive.com/s...ead.php?t=3915

This is a complete revamped integration script requiring no template modifications, an integrated AdminCP control panel for your chat room settings, and remote authentication permissions are now integrated with vBulletin usergroups.
