I had a similar issue with the hack: The pop-up box just wouldn't show up after I invited myself to chat.

What was actually happening was that the chat invite javascript was not loading into the head of the file. Yes, the template existed and yes, I'd made every change to the other four PHP files.

I checked the database and the changes I made to my account in the UserCP were working properly when I enabled and disabled pop ups for chat.

I finally got it to work when I commented out the following in global.php:

---------
$headchatInvite='';
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0 and $bbuserinfo['chatpopup']==2) {
if ($noshutdownfunc) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET chatpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
} else {
$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY user SET chatpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]";
}
// $cutTime = time()-(15*60);
// if($bbuserinfo[invitetime] > $cutTime){
$chatInvite=1;
eval("\$headchatInvite = \"".gettemplate('head_chatInvite')."\";");
// } else {
// $chatinvite=0;
// $headchatInvite ="";
// }
}

So, obviously - I'm not getting the benefits of the timer functionality and - well - I was hoping to leave any solution up to you.
