users in chat, confusing API

I installed and integrated Real Chat into my vbulletin forum. However, I wish to display on the forumhome (custom location and WOL area) how many members are in live chat and what room (if easily done).

I'm just not understanding this api doc at all and hope someone can help me out here.

http://www.realchat.com/doc/scripting-api.html

Thanks in advance.

I'm willing to pay $100 for someone to figure this out. Thanks.

Make a plugin with these options

Hook Location: forumhome_start
Title: API chat on forumhome(whatever you want to call this plugin it doesn't matter)
Execution order: 1
Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
function getAPI($command) {
        $er = error_reporting(0);
        $result = file_get_contents("http://chathost:controlport/?api.".$command);
//Replace http://chathost:controlport with the link to the your api chat
        error_reporting($er);
        return $result;
    }

$apichat['currentuserslocation'] = getAPI("whowhere");

Plugin is Active: Yes

Remember to replace http://chathost:controlport with the link to the your api chat or this will not work. I suggest trying this on a test board before you put it on your main site to make sure it works. I suggest creating a new product by Plugins & Products -> Manage Product -> Add New Product. Then add the plugin to the product you created.

Then you can put $apichat[currentuserlocation] in your FORUMHOME template.

Thanks for the help, but its not working.

I tried this:

Code:

function getAPI($command) {

        $er = error_reporting(0);

        $result = file_get_contents("http://147.202.66.3:8085/?api.".$command);

//Replace http://chathost:controlport with the link to the your api chat

        error_reporting($er);

        return $result;

    }



$apichat['currentuserslocation'] = getAPI("whowhere");

I also tried it with this link:

http://147.202.66.3:8085/?0,0,0,0,0

I did enable / activate plugin too.

Quote:

The Scripting API commands allow you to retrieve information from your RealChat Server. For example, you can show your visitors who is online from a cutsom ASP or PHP page, before they enter the chat room.

API commands are served by the built-in Control Center HTTP server and are accessible from trusted IPs only.

check if the ip is allowed

Yes, because it shows it directly this way:

http://147.202.66.3:8085/?api.UserCount

0 is correct

But I cannot get the plugin setup right to display usercount in forumhome

--------------- Added [DATE]1198710896[/DATE] at [TIME]1198710896[/TIME] ---------------

Tried this also, won't work

Code:

function getAPI($command) {

        $er = error_reporting(0);

        $result = file_get_contents("http://147.202.66.3:8085/?api.".$command);

        error_reporting($er);

        return $result;

    }



$apichat['currentuserslocation'] = getAPI("usercount");

make a php file and put the plugin code into it

PHP Code:


		
			
    function getAPI($command) {
        $er = error_reporting(0);
        $result = file_get_contents("http://147.202.66.3:8085/?api.".$command);
        error_reporting($er);
        return $result;
    }
     
    echo "Number of users: ".getAPI("UserCount")."<br/>";
    echo "Rooms available: ".getAPI("RoomList");

and call the file from your browser

Because i'm getting an error if i want to try file_get_contents() from your ip, and if i call it direct http://147.202.66.3:8085/?api.UserCount i'm gettin the message that its forbidden
