Will this hack work with Digichat?

I'm not familiar with digichat but this one works with all embedded IRC applets. If digichat can be embedded into a template then it should work.

I'm not familiar with the term: "irc applets"

Digichat is a java applet. It doesn't log onto IRC or use IRC servers from what I know of it.

Here's a site that uses it:

http://www.mswebpals.org/digi.htm

I'm seriously considering whether I should get digichat, and the only thing that's holding me back are questions regarding its "Who's Chatting" flexibility. If a good-quality chat program can't do it as you've illustrated in your hack, then I don't want it.

Like I said, I'm not familiar with digichat but I do know that some of the high dollar chat softwares such as realchat do provide a way to show who's in chat on remote pages. This hack is geared more toward people who use web based IRC clients such as jpilot or pjirc. It could work with other types aswell but the only way to find out is to try it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think VBXIRC is an actual chat software, but rather a hack that integrates PJIRC with vbulletin. The actual chat software is pjirc, so thats where you'd download the applet code. I don't know what all the integration hack does but it most likely embeds the code into a template just like this hack. Not sure if its compatible with this hack or not.

You are right I guess. It uses pjirc and integrates it with vbulletin.

I also use VBXirc which is in /forum/chat directory and I would like to know if I can make some modifications to use forum/chat/index.php instead of forum/chat.php and make it work. I guess it isn't easy because you need chat.php to make it work, right?

I'm satisfied with VBXirc and it would be great to keep it and use this hack at the same time.

I think all you'd really need to do is copy this section of code from chat.php:

Code:

if (!$bbuserinfo['userid'])

{

        print_no_permission();

}





$chatuser = $bbuserinfo[username];

$userid = $bbuserinfo[userid];

$time = intval(TIMENOW);



 $somestuff = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "chatters WHERE userid=$userid");



        if ($DB_site->num_rows($somestuff)!=0) 

{

        $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "chatters SET chattime = $time WHERE userid = $userid");

} else {

  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "chatters (username,chattime,userid) VALUES ('".addslashes($chatuser)."','$time','".intval($userid)."')");

}







// ########################## EXTEND CHAT SESSION #############################

if ($_GET['do'] == "extendsession") {

        echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=\"60; URL=".$vboptions['bburl']."/chat.php?do=extendsession\">";

        exit;

}

...And paste it into your forums/chat/index.php.

Then you'd need to add this to the template that loads the chat applet:

Code:

<iframe src="$vboptions[bburl]/chat.php?do=extendsession" width=0 height=0 frameborder=0></iframe>

After that, you'd still need to run the query to create the table, add the chat_chatters template, do the edits to index.php and your forumhome template.

Thanks for the info, I will give it a try.

When you say : "add this to the template that loads the chat applet"
are you talking about the chat_chatbit template or the one which loads my chat (some template from vbxirc) ?

don't I need to modify all lines with /chat.php to /chat/index.php also?

And yeah, you'd need to change all links that point to /chat.php to /chat/index.php.

I also use vbxirc
I am very interested in getting this hack working with vbxirc, alot of users
use it, your instructions are not very clear though.

could someone please work throug it and post the code?
