I very much want this to work, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'll go over the steps I did:
I'm running vB 2.03
1) got a multicity account (free)
2) created a new template and called it "chat_hack" and pasted the code that Mark0380 suggested (of course, I used my own multicity account)
Looks like this:

Then, I created a file, calling it "chat.php" and uploaded it into my vB main directory. That file looks like this:
Code:
<??
require(?"global.php"?);?
if(?$bbuserid?)?{?
$user?=?$DB_site->query_first(?"SELECT?username?
FROM?user?
WHERE?userid?=?$bbuserid"?);?
$bbusername?=?$user[?username?];?
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('chat_hack')."\");");?
}?else?{?
eval("dooutput(\"".show_nopermission()."\");");?
}?// end if
?>
When I call the script, I get a blank page:
http://www.curvemag.com/speak/chat.php
Any suggestions? Is it clear what i might be doing wrong?
