Ok I'll be honest here. I wasn't going to release this, after the problems I had with the last one, and the problems with the last install proggy I made for hacks. I'm sorry my board is really hacked up and I'm just a tinkerer more than a hacker. So here goes.

What this hack does.

Allows moderators and users to have seperate entrances.
Mods have a second option to hide from the whose in chat option.
Whose in chat updates every 10 seconds so it's close to live.

Things still do to:

Make digi-chat user info preload into chat screen.

It's been running on my board now for about 4 weeks and it runs perfectly.

could we see a demo or a link to your site?

Ok.

I have installed this hack and I can go to chat.php and every thing shows up just fine and asks me if I would like to log in as a normal or hidden user.
I click on either one and it takes me to another page which looks fine exept I can't chat.

One thing I am unsure of is what I insert for host #, and Site Id #.

What do I enter in for these values?

Is host # my ip of site?
Is Site Id # the name of site?

I think that this is my only problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't wait to see this in action.

TIA :)

Digi-chat provides you with this information. If you look at your current coding or look at your chat master program you'll see see what your host # is and your site id.

Here's the demo at the moment though it's not perfect because I just finished a site redesign and have to rework the chat room. I'm hoping to have it finished tonight.

I had to uninstall this hack.

I do not have control over the server to install digichat.

As far as I can see, I need to have digichat installed on my server. Correct???

actually I have a hosted digichat. I believe it should work on both ones on your server and a hosted one.

i can find this, can somebody please tell me a specific info. thank you

In forum display find:

eval("\$onlineusers .= \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_loggedinusers')."\"; ");
}
}

I haven't installed this yet, but I can't find those lines either (perhaps it's a version thing), however in index.php the following lines show the logged in users:

eval("\$loggedinusers = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinusers')."\"; ");

So I guess you could add it after that, but make sure you correct the code you're adding as well as it is changed from $onlineusers to $loggedinusers.

You don't even need this as it looks like all it does is show who's currently in chat which is useful but not essential for the chat to run.

It does appear though that the person who wrote this hack no longer uses it on his site.

In forumdisplay.php at the very bottom you will find


eval("\$onlineusers .= \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_loggedinusers')."\"; ");
}
}

it should be right above the

?>

This is still installed on my boards, however I'm in the process of finding a new chat room. :)

will this work on 2.2.2?
and can guest logon to chat?
