Modification to the jpilot chat hack

This hack is a modification to Trog's original hack integrating jpilot into vBulletin, as seen here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...threadid=17866

Basically, all my modification does is removes the necessity of having a whole extra template set just for one modified template. It also makes it very simple to add the chat location to your Who's Online, especially by using FireFly's hack here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=32849

I can't really give you a demo, because this hack requires you to be a registered member to enter the chat room. (If you need a version open to anyone, let me know.)

I also have a vb portal as my home page and I could do with some help in how to show chat users on my home page.

Change the content of main_chat.php to:

<?php
require("global.php"); 

if( $bbuserid ) { 

$user = $DB_site->query_first( "SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid = $bbuserid" ); 
$bbusername = $user[username]; 
}

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('main_chat')."\");"); 

?>

Now the nickname-field is blank if a user is not registered or nor logged in.
Guests now can chat too.
If you are logged in your nick is set automatically.
