What variable is use for username?

[mktrilogy]

I just purchase a tagbox/shoutbox. the instruction to integrate to VB is below.

if you host your own website with its own userbase, it is quite easy to integrate Cbox so that it automatically assigns the correct names to users logged in to your website.
If your site is PHP-based (e.g. phpNuke, vBulletin, phpB, alter your Cbox HTML code in the following way:


...&amp;sec=form&amp;nme=<?=urlencode($name)?>&amp;nmekey=<?=md5('16al9m891d1e8k6k'.$name)?>
Where the variable $name appears, insert the variable that represents the user's name as retrieved from your userbase. This will vary depending on your CMS or forum system. After changing your code, enable user override below.

The question is what use instead of $name ?

Use this:

<!-- BEGIN CBOX - http://www.cbox.ws -->
<div align="center" id="cboxdiv">
<iframe frameborder="0" width="720" height="305" src="http://www2.cbox.ws/box/?boxid=1482560&amp;boxtag=2379&amp;sec=main" marginheight="2" marginwidth="2" scrolling="auto" allowtransparency="yes" name="cboxmain" style="border:#000000 1px solid;" id="cboxmain"></iframe><br/>
<iframe frameborder="0" width="720" height="75" src="http://www2.cbox.ws/box/?boxid=1482560&amp;boxtag=2379&amp;sec=form&amp;nme=$bbuserinfo[username]&amp;nmekey=<if condition="$nme = md5('21aj9i97519l2mgo' . $bbuserinfo[username])">$nme</if>" marginheight="2" marginwidth="2" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="yes" name="cboxform" style="border:#000000 1px solid;border-top:0px" id="cboxform"></iframe>

I got this error

vBulletin Message

The following template conditional expression contains function calls:

<if condition="$nme = md5('21aj9i97519l2mgo' . $bbuserinfo[username])">

md5	md5(\'21aj9i97519l2mgo\' . $bbuserinfo[username])

With a few exceptions, function calls are not permitted in template conditional expressions. Please go back and re-write this expression.

The following functions are allowed in template conditional expressions:
in_array() is_array() is_numeric() isset() empty() defined() array() can_moderate() can_moderate_calendar() exec_switch_bg() is_browser() is_member_of()

there is a site i saw that was able to integrate this. i got in touch with the admin but no reply, thanks for looking out bro.

Create a plugin at 'forumhome_complete' and insert this:

PHP Code:

$nme = md5('21aj9i97519l2mgo' . $vbulletin->userinfo['username']); 


Then instead of my previous code, use:

<!-- BEGIN CBOX - http://www.cbox.ws -->
<div align="center" id="cboxdiv">
<iframe frameborder="0" width="720" height="305" src="http://www2.cbox.ws/box/?boxid=1482560&amp;boxtag=2379&amp;sec=main" marginheight="2" marginwidth="2" scrolling="auto" allowtransparency="yes" name="cboxmain" style="border:#000000 1px solid;" id="cboxmain"></iframe><br/>
<iframe frameborder="0" width="720" height="75" src="http://www2.cbox.ws/box/?boxid=1482560&amp;boxtag=2379&amp;sec=form&amp;nme=$bbuserinfo[username]&amp;nmekey=$nme" marginheight="2" marginwidth="2" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="yes" name="cboxform" style="border:#000000 1px solid;border-top:0px" id="cboxform"></iframe>
</div>
<!-- END CBOX -->
