vBulletin 3.7.x Official Integration & Authentication Extension

Product Info
Name: AddonChat Official Integration Product
Product ID: ac80_37
Version: 3.7.0
Author: AddonInteractive (http://www.addoninteractive.com/)
Last Modified: 15 May. 2008
Compatibility: vBulletin 3.7.x

Overview
This extension allows you to fully integrate a AddonChat Free, Professional, Professional PLUS or Enterprise Java? Chat Room with your vBulletin 3.7 forum system. This script provides basic integration for AddonChat Free and Professional customers. Remote authentication (the ability to secure access to your chat room using your vBulletin username/passwords) is available for Pro+/Enterprise customers, as well as a Who's Chatting feature.

Requirements
  • vBulletin 3.7 or higher
  • AddonChat Free, Professional PLUS, or Enterprise, or AddonChat Professional with the Remote (HTTP) Authentication System. You may register for a AddonChat account at www.addonchat.com. A Professional PLUS or Enterprise account is recommended to take advantage of advanced features.
  • (optional, but recommended) PHP with allow_url_fopen directive enabled in your php.ini file or the PHP CURL extension. This is required to download the Who's Chatting list from AddonChat servers.
What's new?
This script is a completely revamped edition of our previous integration script. Installation no longer requires any template or code modifications. Additionally, there are no PHP files to edit when setting up your chat room. We have added an "AddonChat" menu item in the vBulletin AdminCP that allows you to setup and configure your chat room with ease. Most users will simply need to enter their account number and password (as used at addonchat.com) and your chat room settings will be retrieved automatically, with your remote authentication system updated automatically as well. We have also improved character code support through better UTF-8 conversion allowing non-English speakers to use a vBulletin+AddonChat without issue. Issues relating to the Who's Chatting system causing problems have also been addresses; a scheduled task has been added to automatically optimize and repair AddonChat related tables daily in addition to improvements to the re-written Who's Chatting system.

Features
  • Seamless integration between your vBulletin forum and AddonChat
  • After installation, setup and configure your chat room from the AddonChat menu in your vBulletin Admin Control Panel
  • Popup and Embedded Chat room link options
  • Automatic (ten minute interval) User's Chatting count updates
  • Real-Time Who's Chatting list
  • Display the amount of users within your chat room on your main navbar shown throughout your entire forum
  • Remote authentication allows you to authenticate access into your chat room based on your vBulletin user database
  • Automatic user login option
  • Seamless integration with vBulletin Usergroup permissions (remote authentication)
  • Remote functions system allows you to tie in vBulletin forum functions into the AddonChat user menu
  • Uses the vBulletin XML product import architecture, making installation/uninstallation simple.
  • No code or template modifications required
  • Automated account lookup - just enter your account number and password, and your information will be automatically retrieved. (allow_url_fopen must be enabled in PHP)
  • Multi-lingual (UTF-8) support
Installation
Installaion takes less than five minutes. Download the supplied ZIP file, and extract it on your personal computer. Open the readme.txt file for full installation instructions. No PHP code modifications or template modifications are required. This script makes use of the vBulletin XML Product system for a fast and painless installation.

Support
Support is provided by AddonInteractive for this script provided you have a Professional, Professional PLUS or Enterprise AddonChat account. Read the included instructions for details. Please let us know if you have any problems installing this extension.

This is the best chat system I have seen yet. I have used jIRC, pIRC and FlashChat and this blows them all away!

There are plenty of user configurable options, it looks better than j/pIRC, it is faster than FlashChat and doesn't expose you to hackers (because it is hosted remotely). I love it!

Although I plan to upgrade to the Pro edition so I can get all of the options, I have been using this for a couple of days with the free version and vBulletin integration and it works just fine.

jbear6 -- Glad you got it working If you feel that the installation instructions need revising or have any suggestions, please let me know.

andrewc_11890 - You need either CURL or the allow_url_fopen directive enabled. If you're using a hosted service, you'll need to contact your web host provider to enable one of these two options. If you run your own server, the easiest way to get it going is to edit your php.ini file and set allow_url_fopen to On. (allow_url_fopen = On) It's not necessary to have this option enabled for installation or use, but it does make installation a little faster and is required for using the Who's Chatting system.

kefallon - Not sure how that could have happened. I wouldn't recommend removing any files, but rather re-installing the files and making sure they've been copied to the correct location. In this case, it sounds (at the least) as though the addonchat.php file wasn't uploaded to the admincp/ folder.

acorndomains.co - Wonderful! Glad everything is working well for you. Just an FYI, we do have a UK division (support@addonchat.co.uk) should you need assistance they may be able to answer enquiries a little faster for you if you're across the pond.

CNibbana - Great to hear! eMail support@addonchat.com with your account number and the service level you think you may be interested in getting, and we'll be happy to give you a two week trial.

Did you upload the files as per the instructions? If so, you should simply have to enter your account number and password from the AddonChat menu in the AdminCP and everything will be set up automatically.

Boofo -- one of our other techs may have caught it, perhaps? What's the ticket number? I'll be happy to look into it.

I think I did. I got this error:

Quote:
Error setting remote authentication URL.

This error is most likely caused by entering an incorrect account number, password or an invalid authentication URL. This error can also be caused if you do not have a Professional PLUS or Enterprise account, or if you do not have the Remote Authentication module.

Please verify your account number, password and authentication URL and try your request again.
I don't have the Pro + or Enterprise account.


On Edit:

I didn't realize you had to purchase:

Quote:

You may then modify chat room permissions from the Usergroups menu in the Admin Control Panel. For this feature to work, you must have purchased the remote authentication module, or have an AddonChat Professional PLUS or Enterprise account.

Just make sure you set the option to enable remote authentication to 'No' during the initial setup, and any free account will work just fine -- the features are limited, but you'll still have a nice embedded chat room
