Sigma Chat integration for non-platinum users · **Released**: 02-05-2004

Introduction
This hack integrates your forum with the Sigma Chat software provided by Raidersoft. Unlike the other Sigma integration hack, this one will work for users who own the Professional (entry-level) license, rather than the more expensive Platinum license.

What does it do?
This hack means that only registered forum users will be able to access the chat room. Additionally, they will only be able to chat using the same username as they have on the forum. If someone who isn't registered (or logged in) tries to visit the chat room they will see the standard "No Permission" vBulletin screen.

Is it complicated to install?
No, it's simple. You don't need to edit any VB files, you simply upload one new file (chat.php) to your forum directory and add one new template via your Admin CP.

Support?
Yes, I will support this hack. PM me if you need any help.

Demo?
I've installed this on a colleagues server. You can see the chat integration in action (you will need to register) at at this site

I also used some code (which limits the username length to 15 characters) which was originally created by wot-Mike for his vB2.x chat hack - so all credit to him.

Hope it proves useful for you - please let me know if you use it

Thanks

Like I said, if you create accounts in the sigma control panel (you should only do this for mods/admins) then it won't auto-login them. This is because the username they are trying to login with is now protected. All they have to do is enter their password and they login - it doesn't take very long and I trust my moderators not to change their usernames as this stage.

I've done steps #1 & #2.

For step #3-
In VBulletin admin cp I've done, templates > add template and copied and pasted the contents of chatroom_template.txt into it.

When I try to test it I get this error message -
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_template() in /home/wdisneyw/public_html/forums/chat.php on line 17

I presume it means I've not added the template correctly, but I can't see how.

Using VBulletin Version 2.2.8.

Thanks!

I have the same error with 2.3.4. Will it work with this version?

I got it working with 2.3.4. Here it is:

Quote:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'chat');
require_once('./global.php');
$globaltemplates = array('chatroom');

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]=='') {
show_nopermission();
} else {
$username1=ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "_", $bbuserinfo['username']);
$myLength = strlen( $username1 );
if ($myLength > 15) {
$username = substr( $username1, 0, 15 );
} else {
$username = $username1;
}
eval('dooutput("' . gettemplate('chatroom') . '");');
}
?>

No problem to integrate with vb.3.0.3

*klicks install

Maybe one small hint for users who still own a sigmachat for a longer time:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Chat Room</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#0000ff">
<applet codebase="http://client1.sigmachat.com/current/" code="Client.class" archive="scclient_en.zip" width=680 height=480 MAYSCRIPT>
   <param name="room" value="XXXXX">
   <param name="cabbase" value="scclient_en.cab">
   <param name="USERNAME" value="$bbuserinfo[username]">
   <param name="autologin" value="yes">
</applet>
</body>
</html>

The default Url is <applet codebase="http://client1.sigmachat.com/current/

It took me 10 minutes to realize that my "old" chat lies on: :ninja:

codebase="http://client0.sigmachat.com/current/

Maybe that helps, before that I got the message "This chat is closed"

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
