Hi.... it is my first hack - phpProbe

here is it... it was tested under vbb2x RC2 and phpMyChat 0.14.4

News:
Updated on 19.07.01
- FAQ has been add

Updated on 18.07.01
The hack is compatible with version 0.14.5 of phpMyChat
- there is some javaScript code there, so the hack will not work with browsers without JS support (phpMyChat will not work with these browsers too

)
- the Exit link in chat works ok now

Hack:
Step 1:
open /lib/index.lib.php3 in yours phpMyChat Derictory
find:

FAQ:
Q: I`m getting "no" every time.
A: You need to upgrade a cookie option in your VB control panel. Write under: Options->Change Options->[HTTP Headers and output]->Cookie Domain your domainname ONLY (blabla.com).

Q: I`m getting "you need to register" error.
A: Enable chat using for not registered users in your phpMyChat config (/config/config.lib.php3).

Q: I`m getting "wrong password" error.
A: Make shure you have deleted all user accounts in your chat and have only administrative one. If you are logging is as administrator note that you have to enter your password EVERY time you are logging in.

Hi. I was suprised when this problem wasn't mentioned. If a user bookmarks the chat while in the chatroom they will get a suprise when they try to come back. They get an error page. And The administrator of vbulletin gets a message saying there was an error with the vbulletin database. I might have missed this solution to the problem. Any takers?
Thanks.
Dave.

P.S. The integration works fine except for this problem.

webhost · #**305** 04-07-2002, 01:52 PM

look in cp for cookies option dood

FTDave · #**306** 04-07-2002, 04:31 PM

How would that solve the problem? Look here to see what I mean. This was bookmarked while inside the chatroom. Apparently people are bookmarking the chat while inside.

I could change my options but what about the general user. I get alot of database error emails.

Thanks.
Dave.

I want to be able to show who's chatting in a block on my front page. Anyone find a good (working) block for this yet?

(I'm using PHPPortal)

FTDave · #**309** 04-10-2002, 10:30 PM

Is anyone else having the problem I posted above or is it something you guys just live with?

MomofThree · #**310** 04-12-2002, 01:38 PM

I've had this hack working with no problems. Today a member was trying to get into the chat room and was not able to. Instead the member got the page for the unregistered users to join in order to use this feature. She made sure she was logged in and still got to this page. Anyone here have any clues why this member is the only one not able to get in?

Thanks!

mojotim · #**311** 04-18-2002, 02:15 AM

I have it up and running, but I have a user who says he only gets a blank page.

He is using: Running Macintosh, OS9.1, I.E. 5.0, RR cable.

I can see that he entered the chat room, but all he saw was a blank white page.

Anybody have any ideas for me?
