DigiChat Integration V2.0

DigiChat Integration Version 2.0

This hack is no longer supported. I have released DigiChat Integration 3.0.3.

The new hack can be found HERE

This is my update for VBulletin 3.0.x. Sorry for the delay but it took me some time to upgrade to vb3.0.0 and integrate all other hacks + develop my new upgrade hack. :nervous:

What is this hack ?
This hack is a complete integration of the Chatsoftware DigiChat ( which is NOT freeware ) into the latest version of VBulletin 3.0.x. :devious:

What does this hack do ?
This hack provides the ability to offer a complete front-end to the DigiChat software. So if you are running your own DigiChat server or your chat is hosted somewhere else, this hack will provide you for each member a specific profile, settings and whos in chat functionality.

For Admins and Chatmasters i am providing an extra Admin/Chatmaster login depending on their userstatus in your forum and they will get the extra tool to trace IPs from chatusers. Normal users will just see the names of the users in chat and a link to their forum profile. :devious:

Are there many changes to be done ?
No, i try to keep my changes to a minimum and if it is possible not to touch any databases for obvious reasons. So this hack exists of:

- 8 new templates
- 2 template modifications
- 6 file uploads
- 1 php file modification

Do i need version 1.0 or version 1.1 for this hack ?
No. I am providing both. An upgrade path from previous versions and also a new install path for complete new installations.

How long does it take to install this hack ?
If you are familiar with VBulletin and DigiChat it will take about 10 minutes to upgrade and 15 minutes for a new install.

Is there any support for this hack ?
Yes, from me but i will change the way of giving support now. I my previous version i posted my email address and the amount of emails was amazing. The bad thing was that no one shared this information in the thread. Due to this i will ONLY give support to people in THIS thread and ONLY if they clicked on the "INSTALL" button. I am sorry, but my time is limited and answering the same question 5 times via email is not very efficient. I hope you understand this.

Are there screenshots available for this hack ?
Yes. I have included them into the zip file and i will add them in this thread.

How to manage this Chat environment ?
This version 2.0 has one config file which you have to edit before you go live. In the future updates i will add one table to the database which can be edited through the admin panel. This is not really important because the security will not change so often for chats but just in case someone wants to edit this configfile via the Admin CP i will offer this in the next version.

Whos in Chat function does not work ?
Please make sure that you have the appropriate rights and the commander function enabled which produces the output file every x minutes who is in chat. You have to have a license from DigiChat to be able to do that. :tired:

Some words are in german ?
This should not be the case. I developed this on my domain and in german. I translated all the frontend but you never know. If there are parts still in german please tell me so i can translate them.

So enjoy this hack and happy chatting. After installing please click on this install link or on the install button at the top.

UPDATE 2.0.1
I am very sorry, but i forgot to put one file into the zip file. The missing file is the chatlauncer.php for the javascript pop-up to log into the chats. So if you realized that you can only log into the chat with the extra option, then you know why. Again apologize for this. I have uploaded the new zip file and updated the install.html.

For those of you who installed it already just download the zip file and copy the chatlauncher.php into your forum root directory.

UPDATE 2.0.2
I added some bugfixing for the guest template and the chatlauncher.php. Thanks to Randomlove for pointing that out.

For those of you who installed it already just download the zip file and copy the chatlauncher.php into your forum root directory. After this open the template chat_start_guest and copy the text from the install.html file into your template.

Cheers,

In the parameters file on your server.

For your applet look in the HTTP Tunneling section.

Hey,

I am glad to see an official Digichat hack for Vbulletin especially 3.0. I have been using Vbulletin for years. And also the upside is that I have been working for Digi-net for about 2 years now and have been laboring for this for a long time.

The parameters for the IM are the exact same ones as Digichat, so this hack will work for it as well, nu muss no fuss. Nothing to change. The Im client is web based, or can be a standalone application like Yahoo Messenger as well. AND you can purchase it on its own if you like, no prices posted yet, but it is fairly inexpensive, see for contact information below.

And being a poor web guy myself i feel your pain on the costs. We are a 50 man development shop, and prices will lower shortly as we recoup expenses.

BUT GOOD NEWS. I am the lead guy in the sales department so I will do this. 30% off, no arguing no haggling. That inclludes 4.0 and 5.o Chat and messenger. This is for all fellow Vbulletin peeps. Get in touch with me Norman Taylor, taylor@digi-net.com, 877-404-2428, or 352-333-3042. And talk to me, I do have the power to work things out.

Pseudo, drop me a line. Great work

Thanks for your hack and input. I will be getting into this soon.

Well here is the deal with why you cannot pass moderator passes into the chat. For security reasons moderator passwords cannot be passed because they are encoded with a hash we do not reveal to the public. So your moderator will need to connecect either via the chatmaster.html or the chatmaster application and hand key in the password assigned.

Hello ForYou,

please read posting 31 on this page or use this link. Please read the passage after the PHP code in this post. It describes exactly how to log in as a chatmaster or as admin.

If you have any further problems feel free to ask.

Cheers,

Hi ForYou,

do you have the commander license to do that ? If you don't know it then please add these 2 lines in your /usr/DigiChat folder ( or wherever you installed digichat, not the webroot applet ) into the file "parameters":

PHP Code:

out=/var/log/digi_out.txt
err=/var/log/digi_err.txt 


Then restart your DigiChat and after the restart you should look into the /var/log/digi_out.txt file. If you have "Commander NO", then you are missing the license. If you have YES, then we can proceed from there. Please check this first.

Cheers,
