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:
PHP Code:
// Fix some security holes
replace it with
PHP Code:
//a VBB integration hack by Stasik (stasik@t-online.de)
//v0.1
//(C)2001
$exiturl = "http://www.blabla.com"; // the url the user will be redirected exiting the chat
if ($bbuserid == 0)
{
print "no"; //Message if the user has no cookie
exit;
}
else
{
if ($bbusername == "" || (isset($bbusername))==0)
{
$getusername=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid=$bbuserid");
$username=$getusername[username];
$bbusername = $username;
}
else
{
$username = $bbusername;
} }
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.

Ok I have installed the hack. But I keep getting the NO message. I thought I read somewhere in the thread that I have to use the same database as VB, but it doesn't say anything about this on the first post. If I do have to use the same database, could somebody please explain to me how to do this? I installed phpMyChat via the CPanel control panel my host provides, and I have no Database knowledge at all.
this is the error I'm getting:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pereg_replace() in /home/rephil/public_html/chat/chat/lib/index.lib.php3 on line 116
Who can ansver how to prevent banned users from entering the chat? Please
I just add them as a 'user' in phpmychat with a password that they dont know. The integration hack tries to pass the password through and it denies them entry. A bit messy, but it works (if the username is over 8 chars you have to modify it manually in MySQL)
